Chap. 513.—An ACT to amend and re-enact sections 4, 5, 21, and
81 of chapter 148 of the acta of the general assembly of Vir-
ginia, 1889-'90, touching the road law for Warren county.

Approved February 29, 1892.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia,
That sections four, five, twenty-one, and thirty-one of an
act entitled an act to amend and re-enact chapter one
hundred and forty-eight of the acts of the general assem-
bly of Virginia, touching the road law for Warren county,
approved February eleven, eighteen hundred and ninety,
be amended and re-enacted so as to read as follows:

§ 4. That all taxes levied and collected for road purpo-
ses, and for building and repairing bridges, shall be ex-
pended on the roads and bridges of the county, as here-
inafter provided.

§ 5. That the commissioners of roads for the respective
districts of the county of Warren shall be known as the
commissioner of roads for magisterial district, and by
such name shall have the power to contract and be con-
tracted with, sue and be sued; but no judgments against
such commissioner shall bind him personally. It shall
be paid by the treasurer out of the road fund apportioned
to such district.

§ 21. That the said board of supervisors shall then cause
to be levied a road tax for the whole county, not exceeding
thirty cents on the one hundred dollars worth of real,
personal, and mixed property within the county, taking
the state assessment as a basis. Of the road tax so levied
the board of supervisors shall set apart as the road fund
for each district so much as may seem to them right,
taking into consideration not only the mileage, but the
wear and tear, by reason of travel or otherwise, over the
roads of the respective districts.

§ 31. The county treasurer shall annually at the July
meeting of the board of supervisors settle and adjust
before said board his accounts with the road fund of the
several districts. The said board shall charge him with
the full amount of the road tax set apart for each district,
and all sums collected from delinquent contractors, and
shall credit him by his commissions, delinquents, and all
payments made by him for which he has proper vouchers.
He shall receive the same per centum for collecting and
disbursing road taxes as for collecting state revenue.

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