the provisions of this act shall no longer be applicable in said county.

machinery, implements, tools, et cetera, as provided in this act, in-
cluding compensation and any other charge in connection and inci-
dent to the office of the county road superintendent; road foremen
and all subordinates appointed or employed by the county road super-
intendent, or by the board of supervisors a tax, not less than twenty-
five cents nor over sixty-five cents, upon every hundred dollars in
value of all property liable to county and district road tax, and the
same shall be collected by the treasurer of the county as other levies
are collected, and be accounted for and applied as road funds under
this act, as if it were county levy, except that the funds collected
from each magisterial district shall be kept separate and apart by
the county treasurer and the funds so collected in each magisterial
district shall be applied to the construction, working and keeping
in repair the roads and bridges in such districts, except as hereafter
provided by section twenty-five of this act, and all of said funds
shall be expended upon the order of the board of supervisors, and
the said board of supervisors shall make monthly payments to all
