Chap. 6.—An ACT to authorize and empower the board of supervisors of
Rockbridge county to erect toll gates, and to demand and collect tolls on
the macadamized roads of the county of Rockbridge, and to provide how
such tolls are to be expended. (H. B. 11)

Approved February 2, 1915.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the
board of supervisors of Rockbridge county shall have the power to erect,
and maintain toll gates, and demand and collect tolls on all or any
of the macadamized roads of said county, the rates of tolls to be fixed
by the board of supervisors; provided, however, that said rates shall
not exceed those fixed by the general law for turnpike companies. The
board of supervisors shall be charged with the duty of collecting and
distributing all tolls, but after paying the expense of collecting the
same, all tolls shall be expended exclusively for the maintenance, repair,
extension and upkeep of the particular road from which they are col-
lected ; said board of supervisors shall require and provide for separate
accounts with each of the said roads of all tolls collected thereon, and
shall require statements of all collections to be made at each regular
meeting of said board of all tolls collected, and likewise for all amounts
expended, said expenditures to be accompanied with proper vouchers,
which accounts when approved by the board of supervisors shall be filed
with the clerk of said board, and provided, further, that the board of
supervisors of Rockbridge county shall have the power, if in their dis-
cretion they deem it wise and convenient to give a rebate on tolls to
those who have made, or shall hereafter make private subscription to the
building of permanent macadam roads in said county on any roads
where toll gates shall be established, said rebate to be in such amounts
as the said board of supervisors shall determine, but in no case to exceed
the amount of said private subscription.

2. There being an emergency, by reason of the immediate need of
properly repairing the roads in said county, this act shall be in force
from its passage.
