are hereby appointed trustees, holding office for one, two and three
years in the order named, or until their successors shall be qualified.

It shall be lawful for the said trustees, or their successors, to sub-
divide this district and provide for the erection of school houses, as
directed by the Constitution and laws of Virginia; secure teachers for
the same, and in all things exercise the functions pertaining to their
office, as indicated by the State laws, with the additional power of
causing to be assessed against, and collected from, the taxpayers in the
said school district, or any sub-district thereof, an annual levy for
school purposes not to exceed forty cents on the one hundred dollars
assessed valuation of all property therein not segregated into the State

And it shall be lawful for the levy so assessed to be collected by the
treasurer of Surry county, or the sergeant of the corporation of Clare-
mont, to be by him paid into the treasury of the said corporation of
Claremont, less such compensation therefor as may be agreed upon.
