Chap. 192.—An ACT to authorize the boards of supervisors of Prince George
and Surry counties to enact special and local legislation for the protection
of the public roads, ways and bridges of the said counties. [H B 381]

Approved March 16, 1920.

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 legis-
lation in their respective counties, not to conflict with the Constitution
of the Commonwealth, as they may deem expedient to protect the
public roads, ways and bridges of the said counties from encroachment
or obstruction, or from any improper or exceptionally injurious use
thereof, and 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:

2. Any violation of any such enactment shall be deemed an offense
against the county, whose boards of supervisors shall enact such legis-
lation, and shall be punished by a fine of not less than five dollars,
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 emergency existing, this act shall be in force from its
passage.
