Approved March 20, 1920.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That where
the voters of any county or magisterial district in Virginia have here-
tofore, or shall hereafter, vote a bond issue, in order to provide a
fund to be used in improving and constructing the public roads, or any
part thereof, of such county or magisterial district, not included in the
State highway system nor under joint construction or maintenance
by the county and State, the boards of supervisors of such counties
shall have the exclusive right to use such fund in the improvement and
construction of such roads, as the voters by their votes designate it
should be used on. And such boards of supervisors shall have the
right to use said fund on such roads to provide specification for the
improvement of said roads, and shall have the right, independent of the
State highway commission, to use said fund in the improvement and
construction of such roads. And for this purpose may employ such
engineers as they choose, and may either let said work to contract, or
do said work in any way they may choose. Nothing in this act shall
apply to the counties of Spotsylvania, Louisa, Stafford, Norfolk, Caro-
line, Rappahannock, Culpeper, Madison, Orange, Green, Albemarle,
Rockbridge, Bedford, Frederick, Shenandoah, King and Queen, Essex,
Middlesex, Mathews, Gloucester, and Campbell.

2. All acts and parts of acts in conflict with this act are hereby
expressly repealed.
