part thereof in said county, levy a tax upon the real and per-
sonal property of the county, of ten cents on the one hundred
dollars of the assessed value.

2. That the tax levied as aforesaid by the board of supervi-
sors of said county, shall be known as the road tax of Nanse-
mond county, and shall be collectible as other taxes, and shall
be held by the county treasurer subject to the order and direc-
tion of the board of supervisors, and they will expend the pro-
ceeds of said tax in the working, keeping and repairing the
county roads of Nansemond, in such manner as to them shall
seem best: but, provided that so much of said tax as shall be

the direction of the council of said town upon the public roads
outside of but adjacent to said town.
