CHAP. 122.—An ACT authorizing the board of supervisors of Bedford
county to fix the district road levy for said county; how the same

Approved March 9, 1916.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That
the board of supervisors of Bedford county shall annually levy,
along with the county levy, a road tax upon the property, real
and personal, assessed for taxation in the several magisterial
districts of said county, and not embraced within the corporate
limits of the town of Bedford, which maintains its own streets,
which shall be applied to the working, keeping in order, and re-
pairing the public roads in such district, and in defraying the
district’s proportion of the expenses of construction of any pub-
lic road therein for which State aid is obtained, as may be pro-
vided for by law. Such tax shall not be more than eighty cents
upon every hundred dollars in value of such property, and the
same shall be collected, accounted for, and paid out on the war-
rant of the board as if it were a county levy, except that the fund
collected from each magisterial district shall be kept separate by
the county treasurer, and a different rate of tax may be pre-
scribed for different districts in said county with the consent
and approval of the supervisors of the district. The amount
collected in each district, together with the amount apportioned
to each district, under the provisions of sub-section eleven of
section nine hundred and forty-four-a of the Code of Virginia,
shall be expended therein.

And be it further enacted that sub-section twelve of section
nine hundred and forty-four-a of the Code of Virginia, in so
far as the same applies to Bedford county be, and the same is,
hereby repealed.
