1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the
boards of supervisors of the counties of Prince George and Surry,
respectively, shall have the power to enact such special and local
legislation in their respective counties, not to conflict with the Con-
stitution of the Commonwealth, as they may deem expedient to pro-
tect the public roads, ways and bridges of the said counties from
encroachment or obstruction, or from any improper or exceptionally
or injurious use thereof, and to regulate the traffic on said roads for
the protection of the lives and property of persons using the same,
provided that said board of supervisors may designate the road or
roads to which such legislation shall apply. This power shall extend
to, and may be exercised over turnpike roads, the control of which
has been given to said boards of supervisors, whether tolls be taken
thereon or not. But neither of said boards of supervisors shall
have power to limit the hauling of the products of farm industry at
any time. Each member of the board of supervisors of said counties
may be allowed as compensation for his services in the supervision
of the opening and repair of the public roads or construction and
repair of bridges of said counties not exceeding five dollars per diem
for the time he shall be necessarily so employed, but no supervisor
shall receive for such services compensation to exceed one hundred
and fifty dollars per annum in addition to the amount allowed by law
for other services.

2. Any violation of any such enactment shall be deemed an
offense against the county, whose boards of supervisors shall enact
such legislation, and shall be punished by a fine of not less than two
dollars and fifty cents, nor more than one hundred dollars, or by
imprisonment in jail not more than thirty days, or by both, in the
discretion of the court or jury trying the case, which said fine shall
be payable to said county.

3. An act entitled an act to authorize the boards of supervisors
of Prince George and Surry counties to enact special and local legis-
lation for the protection of the public roads, ways and bridges of
the said counties, approved March sixteenth, nineteen hundred and
twenty, be, and the same is hereby, repealed.

4. The judicial declaration of the invalidity of any provision, or
the application of this act, shall not affect the validity of any other
provision or the application thereof.
