§ 1. That on and after the first day of July, eighteen
hundred and eighty-eight, the board of supervisors of the
counties of Alleghany, Bath, and Highland shall have
original jurisdiction to establish, alter, and build all pub-
lic roads and bridges in their respective counties; and for
this purpose said board shall have all the powers now
vested in the county court, and the same proceedings
shall be had therein as now required in said court, and all
laws applicable to said court shall apply to said boards:
provided that any one feeling himself aggrieved by any
order of said board, establishing or altering any road or
bridge, may appeal to the county court in the same man-
ner that appeals are now allowed from decisions of said
board. The said boards of supervisors in their respective
counties as aforesaid, shall take charge of and have worked
and kept in repair all public roads and bridges heretofore
and hereafter established within the limits of said coun-
ties respectively; and for this purpose the said boards of
supervisors are respectively authorized and empowered to
levy a road tax, not exceeding in any one year fifteen
cents upon the one hundred dollars of assessed taxable
values in said counties, and to adopt such regulations as
do not conflict with the laws now in force, as may be
necessary to secure the proper working of the roads in
said counties, and for that purpose said boards may pur-
chase such machinery and tools for the county as they
may deem necessary, and let the same to the contractors
under this act, on such terms as they may think proper.
