in reference to allowance by boards of superyisors to clerks of circuit
courts.

Approved February 20, 1900.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That section
three thousand five hundred and twenty-four of the code of Virginia be
amended and re-enacted so as to read as follows:

8 3524. To clerks; allowance by board of supervisors out of the
county treasury.—For services rendered the commonwealth in a civil
case, such fees as would be charged for the like services rendered to an
individual; and to the clerk of any circuit court, for other public ser-
vices, unless he receives an annual salary, such sum as the court may
allow him, not to exceed thirty dollars for one year: provided, however,
that it shall be lawful for the board of supervisors of any county, in their
discretion, to cause to be paid from the treasuries of their respective
counties, to the clerks of the circuit courts of said counties, such an
amount as the judge of each of said courts shall certify as a just allow-
ance for services rendered by the clerk of his court to the commonwealth
and to the county or such portion thereof as they may deem proper,
but the allowance to either one of the said clerks shall not exceed the
sum of five hundred dollars for any one year, except to the clerk of the
circuit court of Norfolk county whose allowance shall not exceed the
sum of one thousand dollars, and such allowance shall be in full for all
allowances for such services, both on account of the state and county.
2. This act shall be in force from its passage.
