Approved March 15, 1922.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the
board of supervisors of the county of Henry be, and they are hereby,
authorized and required to expend the surplus proceeds, when they
shall become available, which have arisen out of the sale of the road
bonds of said county, issued pursuant to the road bond issue election
held in said county on the twenty-eighth day of June, nineteen hundred
and twenty-one, in the construction and improvement of public roads
of said county in addition to those designated in the order of election.

2. The said board of supervisors of Henry county may, and they
are hereby authorized to, expend a portion of said surplus funds,
when said funds become available, with the approval of the circuit
court of Henry county, or the judge thereof in vacation, in the con-
struction of bridges on the aforesaid designated roads and on the
said additional roads, where such bridges are necessary for the natu-
ral use and enjoyment of the aforesaid roads.

3. The said additional roads and bridges shall be designated
by the board of supervisors of said county, subject to the approval
by the circuit court of Henry county or the judge thereof in vaca-
tion. In the event that the said board fail to designate said ad-
ditional roads or bridges, or in designating them, fail or refuse to
advertise for bids for their construction, within a reasonable length
of time after the said surplus funds become available, then it shall be
the duty of the commission—appointed as hereinafter provided—to
designate the said additional roads and the said bridges, subject,
however, in like manner, to the approval of the circuit court of
Henry county or the judge thereof in vacation, and to advertise
for bids for their construction. Upon such designation, either by
the board of supervisors or the said commission, and the approval
thereof as aforesaid, either by the circuit court of Henry county or
the judge thereof in vacation, the subsequent proceedings by, either
the said board of supervisors or the said commission, in respect to
the letting, construction and improving of said additional roads or
designated roads and the letting and construction of said bridges, shall
conform to the provisions of law in such cases made and provided.

4. It shall be the duty of the circuit court of Henry county,
or the judge thereof in vacation, as soon as practicable after the
said funds become available, to appoint a commission, composed
of two citizens of Henry county and the county engineer, whose
duties, in addition to those hereinbefore mentioned, shall be to act
jointly with the State highway commissioner or road engineer, in
inspecting and receiving all work done in pursuance of this act.
The two men so appointed shall receive the sum of five dollars
($5) per day and all expenses to be paid out of the said surplus
tunds, for each and every day actually spent in inspecting and re-
ceiving the work, as aforesaid. The county engineer shall, by virtue
of his office, be chairman of this commission.

5. No convict aid or State aid, as contemplated under chapters
eighty-seven and eighty-eight of the Code of Virginia, or under any
other provision of law shall be withheld on account of any provision
of this act; but the same shall be given and furnished, to the same
extent and in like manner, as if the construction and improvement
of said roads and bridges had been entirely governed by general law.

6. All acts and parts of acts inconsistent with this act are
hereby repealed in so far as they apply to the expenditure of the
aforesaid surplus funds.

7. An emergency existing this act shall be in force from its
passage. _
