Approved March 28, 1914.

1, Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia as follows:
It shall be lawful for the board of supervisors of any county of
this State at any regular meeting of such board, or at any special
meeting thereof called to consider and act upon such matter, upon
an affirmative vote of the people, to give its sanction and grant
authority to any turnpike company of this State, in which the State
is a stockholder in the counties affected, to extend, construct, operate,
and maintain its line of turnpike road, into and through, such
county or any designated and agreed portion thereof, upon such
terms as to the tolls to be charged by such turnpike company, and
as to the conditions upon which it shall extend, construct, operate
and maintain its line of turnpike road therein, and as to the finan-
cial or other aid which such county, or any magisterial or road
district thereof, shall contribute towards such extension, construc-
tion, or operation in exchange for the shares of the common or pre-
ferred stock of such company or otherwise, as may be prescribed
by such board of supervisors, and accepted and agreed to by such
turnpike company.

2. For the purpose of extending such financial aid towards the
objects defined in the preceding section it shall be lawful for the
board of supervisors, of any county of this State to contribute and
pay, or cause to be paid, over to such company for the purposes
aforesaid, upon such terms as may be prescribed by such board, and
assented to by such company, any money in the treasury of the
county, or under the control of such board, applicable to such
purpose.

And in order to provide any other or additional money required
for the aforesaid purposes, such board of supervisors is empowered
from year to year for not exceeding ten years to make special annual
levies upon the taxable property of the magisterial district or dis-
tricts in such county, which will in the judgment of such board be
benefited by the extension, construction, and operation of such turn-
pike road, into, or through such county, of not exceeding, in any
case, twenty cents upon the one hundred dollars of the assessed
values of such taxable property. And such board of supervisors
is authorized and required, in its discretion, to apportion and
adjust such levies between the said magisterial districts of such
county in accordance with the estimated relative benefits to be
derived by the said districts, respectively, from the extension, opera-
tion, and maintenance of such turnpike road therein, and accord-

property of some magisterial districts than it shall levy upon such
property in some other district or districts, for such purposes.

3. Every such board of supervisors is empowered to grant and
convey to such turnpike company the right to occupy, use, and
appropriate for its purposes, any turnpike or public road, or any
portion thereof, in such county, owned or controlled by such county,
or controlled by such board of supervisors, as such turnpike com-
pany may need for its purposes, upon such terms as may be pre-
scribed by such board of supervisors and assented to by such turn-
pike company.

4. An emergency existing for the immediate enactment of this
act, it will go into effect from its passage.
