Sec. 2769. Compensation of supervisors—Each member of the
board of supervisors shall be allowed, and paid out of the county
levy, a compensation for his services in attending the meetings of the
board and in discharging such other duties as may be imposed upon
him by law at a rate of not exceeding six dollars per diem for the time
he shall be actually so employed, and five cents for each mile of travel
in going to and returning from the place of meeting of said board, but
no per diem allowance shall be made for any time occupied in travel-
ing where mileage is allowed therefor, and only one mileage shall be
allowed for any one term of meeting of such board. No supervisor
shall draw pay for more than eighteen days in counties of ten thou-
sand population and less, except that supervisors in the county of
Dickenson may draw pay for not more than twenty-five days, nor
shall he draw pay for more than twenty-five days in counties of more
than ten thousand and less than thirty thousand population, nor shall
he draw pay for more than thirty days in counties of thirty thousand
population and not over forty thousand, and counties of over forty
thousand population he shall draw pay for not more than forty days
in any one year ; provided, that the provisions of this section shall not
prevent supervisors in the counties which have special road laws
from receiving additional compensation for services in connection with
road work done under said special road laws now existing, or as
hereafter amended, if such compensation be allowed in such special
road law. But nothing in this act shall allow a member of the board
of supervisors to draw pay on the same day for services as supervisor
and as inspector or commissioner of roads or construction of bridges.
The supervisors of Henrico and Alexandria counties, however, with
the consent of the circuit court of the said county, may receive as
much as three hundred dollars each per annum, and the supervisors
of the counties of Chesterfield and Henry, with the consent of the cir-
cuit court of said county, may receive as much as two hundred dollars
each per annum, and mileage as above provided; and the supervisors
of the county of Rockingham, with the consent of the circuit court of
the said county, may receive as much as one hundred and seventy-five
dollars each per annum and mileage as above provided, and the super-
visors of the county of Shenandoah, with the consent of the circuit
court of the said county, may receive as much as one hundred and

King George, Isle of Wight, Nansemond, Prince Edward, Prince
William, Northampton, James City, New Kent, Charles City, York,

ing and repair of the public roads or construction of bridges of said
counties not exceeding five dollars per diem for the time he shall be
necessarily so employed; provided, that the supervisors of Culpeper
county may receive three dollars per day when so engaged; 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. In the county of Augusta any supervisor
may, with the consent of the circuit court, be paid as compensation
for his services as assistant to the superintendent of roads in the
supervision or construction and repair of public roads or bridges, or
for any special duties imposed upon him by the board of supervisors,
at the rate of four dollars per diem for the time actually engaged, with
nuleage, as provided for regular service, but this extra compensation
shall not exceed the sum of three hundred dollars per vear for any
one supervisor, and the supervisors of the county of Norfolk may
receive an amount not exceeding five hundred dollars each per annum
and mileage as herein provided.

Any supervisor of Orange county may act as road commissioner
for his district and shall be paid for his services not exceeding one
dollar and fifty cents per day, but the entire compensation shall not
exceed three hundred dollars per annum and this shall apply only to
districts having a road fund which does not exceed two thousand dol-
lars. Each supervisor of the counties of Mecklenburg and Sussex
may in addition to mileage receive the sum of eight dollars per day
during the time the board of said counties are in actual session, and
each supervisor of Pittsylvania county may act as road commissioner

tenance and may receive as such six dollars per day for not exceeding
