CHAP. 620.—An ACT to amend and re-enact section 1007 of the
code of Virginia in relation to working roads.

Approved March 3, 1892.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That
section one thousand and seven of the code of Virginia be
amended and re-enacted so as to read as follows:

§ 1007. Condition in which surveyors to keep roads,
8ign-boards, foot and other bridges.—Every such surveyor
shall superintend, and have the roads in his district
worked within the time between the first day of April and
the last day of June, and at least one day in October of
each year; cause the same to be kept cleared, smoothed
of rocks and obstructions, of necessary width, well drained,
and otherwise in good order and secure from the falling
of dead timber therein. He shall cause to be placed and
kept at the fork or crossing of every road, a sign-board, on
which shall be stated in plain letters the most noted place
to which each road leads, and across every stream where
it is necessary and practicable a sufficient bridge, bench,
or log for the accommodation of foot passengers. When
any more important bridge or causeway is necessary, and
it is practicable for him to have it made, he shall cause it
to be made twelve feet broad at the least, and safe and
convenient. Every bridge or causeway in his precinct
shall be kept by him in as good order as the means in his
power will permit; and for all these purposes he shall
have power, and it shall be his duty, to enroll all persons
liable to road service, who are not exempt by law, and
who shall have resided ten days within the boundary from
which his hands are allotted: provided that this act shall
apply to no county having a special road law.

2. This act shall be in force from its passage.
