§16. All damages for land taken under this act, for the construction
of all new bridges over the Shenandoah river and approaches thereto,
and the expense of keeping in repair all said bridges and approaches
heretofore or hereafter built, shall be paid out of the county levy, and
the repair and maintenance of said bridges shall be under the super-
vision, of the road commission, who shall certify the costs thereof to the
board of supervisors for payment.
The board of supervisors shall annually levy, along with the county
levy, a road tax upon the property, real and personal, assessed for taxa-
tion in the several magisterial districts of the county, which shall be
applied to the working, keeping in order, and repairing the public
roads, bridges, ferries and landings in such district. Such tax shall not
be more than forty cents upon every one hundred dollars in value of
such property, and the same shall be collected, accounted for, and paid
out on the warrant of the board as if it were a county levy, except that
the fund collected from each magisterial district shall be kept separate
by the county treasurer, and a different rate of tax may be prescribed
for different districts in the county. It is, however, provided that
when the board of supervisors decide to levy a tax under this section
exceeding a total of thirty cents on the one hundred dollars worth of
property, then before such tax shall be levied the question as to such
tax shall be submitted to the people of the county or district affected
thereby, as to whether such tax shall be levied. Such election shall be
held under the provisions of law in regards to the issuance of bonds for
road purposes, except upon the ballot shall be printed “For increase of
road tax” and “Against increase of road tax;” and provided, that no
voter whose residence in a town exempts him from said tax shall be
allowed to vote on said question.

2. All-acts and parts of act inconsistent with this act are hereby
repealed.
