Lancaster.

Approved March 1, 1894.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the
boards of supervisors of the counties of Richmond and Lancaster,
respectively, shall take charge of and have worked and kept in re-
pair all public roads of said counties, by contract or otherwise, as to
them may seem best, and to this end shall adopt such rules and
regulations as they may deem proper, expedient and necessary.

2. The said boards of supervisors, in their respective counties as
aforesaid, are authorized and empowered to annually levy and fix,
along with the county levy, a road tax-upon all property assessed for
taxation in the several magisterial districts of the said counties not
exceeding in any one year twenty cents upon the hundred dollars
assessed value of taxable property in said magisterial districts. The
same shall be collected from the treasurers of said counties, ac-
counted for and paid out upon the warrant of said boards, except that
the fund collected from each magisterial district shall be kept sepa-
rate by the county treasurer, and a different rate of tax may be pre-
scribed for different districts in the same county. The amount
collected in each district shall be expended in that district.

3. The said boards of supervisors shall meet annually the first
Wednesday of every March, June, September and November, and at
any other time a quorum of the said boards may deem it necessary, to
especially consider matters pertaining to the working and keeping
the public roads in order. Forsuch actual attendance each member
may receive two dollars a day, to be paid out of the road fund: pro-
vided, however, that no member shall be allowed over twelve dol-
lars in any one year.
