1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That all the
authority conferred upon the local road authorities by an act entitled
an act to provide State money aid in addition to convict labor for the im-
provement of public roads, approved February twenty-five, nineteen hun-
dred and eight, be and the same is hereby, conferred upon and vested in

amendatory thereof.

districts the money derived from this State aid shall-be used, in ac-
cordance with the provisions of said act, and upon the said board of
supervisors determining in what district or districts said money shall be
used, it shall then be the duty of the road board for said district or
districts to provide, by local taxation, such fund within the limits pre-
scribed by law as may be necessary to secure this allolment from said

amount expended in said district in any one year thereunder. But the
said road boards of said magisterial districts shall have the discretion to
raise a larger portion of said fund by taxation, within the limits afore-

would require it.

But this act shall not be construed to authorize the board of super-
visers of Loudoun county to levy any tax for road purposes in said
county. .
