July first, nineteen hundred and twenty-four, the rate of compensa-
tion for such services of members of the board of supervisors of the

No supervisors shall draw pay for more than eighteen days in
counties of ten thousand population and less, except that supervisors
in the county of Dickenson may draw pay for not more than twenty-

such special road law. But nothing in this act shall allow a member
of the board of supervisors to draw pay on the same day for services
