Approved March 24, 1926.

1. Beit enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That section
two of an act entitled an act to provide for the working of the roads
of the county of Louisa, approved March fourteenth, nineteen hun-
dred and twenty-four, be amended and re-enacted so as to read as
ollows:

Section 2. Each supervisor shall be ex-officio foreman of roads for
his district, should he elect to act as such, and in case he does not so
elect he shall employ a suitable foreman competent to work the roads
to the best advantage. Each supervisor shall receive for his road
services compensation at the rate of fifty cents per hour for the time
actually engaged in supervising the working of the roads. He shall
keep an accurate account of the time so employed and shall make a
report to the circuit court of the county annually, the correctness of
which report he shall make affidavit to, and shall file with his report
cancelled checks for all payments out of the road fund, including his
own compensation; provided, that no supervisor shall receive for
road services more than four hundred dollars in any one year; pro-
vided, however, that each supervisor who runs his own road machine
and has the road work done under his immediate supervision shall
have the right to apply to the circuit court of the county for an order
allowing him such compensation as the court may see fit in case it is
satisfied from the evidence that four hundred dollars is not sufficient
compensation for the work actually performed by such supervisor or
supplement such member’s present compensation in such manner as
to the court may seem just, any such additional compensation shall
not in any case exceed the sum of six hundred dollars per year. Each
supervisor shall execute before the judge of the circuit court of the
county a proper bond with security approved by the judge in such
penalty and with such condition as the court may prescribe, but such
penalty shall not be less than fifteen hundred dollars. Each annual
report hereinabove required of such supervisor shall be forthwith
posted by him on the front door of the courthouse of the county and
at some conspicuous place at each voting precinct in his district.

2. An emergency existing, this act shall be in force from its
passage.
