Chap. 254.—An ACT to Amend and Re-enact Sections 19 and 26 of Chap-
ter 441 of Acts of 1869 and 1870, in Relation to Roads.

Approved March 29, 1871.

1, Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That
sections nineteen and twenty-six of chapter four hundred and
forty-one of the Acts of eighteen hundred and sixty-nine and
eighteen hundred and seventy, be amended and re-enacted so
as to read as follows:

_““§.19. Each overseer of the road shall receive for his ser-
vices two dollars per day for each day actually and necessarily
employed in the discharge of his daties, to be offset against his
tax, and the excess, if any, to be paid by the township. Any
overseer of a road, who shall fail to perform any duty required
of him in this chapter, shall pay a fine of not less than five nor
more than thirty dollars. He shall also provide, when practi-
cable, suitable watering places on the line of roads under his
charge, for the accommodation of cattle and foot passengers.”

Ԥ 26. Upon the report, unless the opinion of the court be
against establishing or altering the road or landing, it shall
award process to summon the proprietors or tenants of the
lands on which it will be established, to show cause against the
same. ‘The summons shall be executed on such of them as are
in the county, and on any agent or attorney of any proprietor
not within the same. And if there be no proprietor, tenant,
agent, or attorney of any proprietor, known to the court, re-
siding within this state, or if the true owners or proprietors of
the lands be not known to the court, the judge thereof may
order notice, to all whom it may concern, to be published in
some newspaper of general circulation, for three weeks suc-
cessively, to appear and show cause against the same—the cost
of such publication to be paid by the county.”

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