approved March 24, 1920, in relation to a bond issue for roads in the county
of Carroll, by adding thereto a new section to be numbered 7-a. [H B 357]

Approved March 24, 1926.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That
chapter four hundred and forty-eight of the acts of assembly of
nineteen hundred and twenty, approved March twenty-fourth, nine-
teen hundred and twenty, be amended by adding thereto a new sec-
tion to be numbered seven-a, which new section shall read as follows:

Section 7-a. The said road board of Carroll county shall reloan
and continue to reloan the said money derived from said bond issue
to the highway commission of the State of Virginia, to be used in said
county of Carroll on that part of the State highway system laid out
and taken over by the State of Virginia to be built and kept in repair
by the said State of Virginia, but the money shall not be held for a
longer period than twelve months to make a reloan to the said com-
mission.

If for any reason the State highway commission will not enter
into an agreement with the county road board of Carroll county to
borrow and make future contracts with the aforesaid county road
board to borrow and expend money from the said bond issue on the
public roads and bridges comprising that part of the State highway
system not completed in aforesaid county of Carroll, then the said
road board of Carroll county may, in its discretion, spend the money,
or a portion of the same, from the said bond issue for permanently
improving one or more public roads in the county of Carroll under
the supervision of the chairman of the State highway commission of
Virginia, as provided by chapter four hundred and twenty-six of
the acts of assembly of nineteen hundred and eighteen, and amend-
ments thereto. The aforesaid mentioned county road board shall,
within six months from said refusal of the State highway commission
to again borrow and expend the money derived from the said bond
issue, designate and let to contract one or more of the public roads
to be permanently built in the aforesaid mentioned county of Carroll.
The money or a portion of the same shall be expended within three
years from the date or dates on which the said funds are refunded
to said county by the State highway commission.

Furthermore, if the.said county road board cannot again reloan
the money to said highway commission of the State of Virginia, and
said county road board does not then desire to permanently build
or improve one or more public roads in the aforesaid county of Carroll
out of the funds or a portion of said funds, then the said road board
of said county shall apply all or a portion of the funds for the payment
and retirement of said bonds as the said funds are refunded to the
said county by the State highway commission within six months
from the date or dates the funds are refunded to said county by the
State highway commission.

The said county road board shall, within three months after the
State highway commission refuses to again borrow and use said
funds on that part of the State highway system or a portion of the
same situated in the aforesaid county of Carroll, meet to determine
in their discretion as to whether they shall designate one or more
of the public roads of the said county of Carroll to be permanently
built or improved or whether they shall pay and retire the said
road bonds or a portion of the same.

In the event the aforesaid road board desires to pay and redeem
said road bonds and there should be a surplus remaining after the
payment or redemption of said road bonds, then the surplus shall
be divided between the respective magisterial districts of said county,
in the proportion in which it was collected to be used as a district
road fund.

2. All acts or parts of acts, including the act of which this act
is amendatory, inconsistent herewith, are, to the extent of such in-
consistency, hereby repealed.

3. An emergency existing, this act shall be in force from its
passage.
