Section 1. The authority to construct new public roads and
bridges, and to discontinue public roads, and to work and keep
in repair the public roads of Botetourt county shall be vested in
the board of supervisors of said county, which said board is
hereby clothed with full power to do all things necessary in con-
structing new roads and bridges, and in discontinuing public
roads, and in working and keeping in repair the present public
roads in said county under the provisions of this act, and for
this purpose the said board of supervisors shall have all the
power heretofore vested in the county court of said county, for
the purpose of constructing public roads and bridges and of dis-
continuing public roads, and of working and keeping in repair
the public roads of said county, and the same proceedings shall
be had therein as required in said court, and all existing laws
heretofore applicable to said court, shall apply to said board of
supervisors; provided, that any one feeling himself aggrieved by
an order of said board establishing, discontinuing, or altering
any road, may appeal to the circuit court in the same manner as
appeals are now allowed from said board, so far as the com-
pensation or damage is concerned, but the work of establishing
or altering a road shall not be delayed by reason of any such
appeal. The said board, for the purpose of working and keep-
ing in repair the public roads of said county, and for the pur-
pose of constructing new roads, is authorized and empowered
to levy a road tax not exceeding in any one year, fifty cents on
each one hundred dollars of assessed taxable values in said
county, liable for taxation. All such taxes levied for road pur-
poses, under the provisions of this act, shall be collected and
accounted for by the county treasurer in the same manner as
other taxes are collected and accounted for.
