Section 1. The board of supervisors of Page county shall take
charge of and have worked and kept in repair the public roads and
the bridges within the limits of the said county, and shall also have
authority to open new roads and to change the location of existing
roads in the manner hereinafter provided; and for this purpose the
said board of supervisors is authorized and empowered to levy a road
tax not exceeding in any one year forty cents upon the one hundred
dollars of assessed taxable value of all property in said county, except
that the said board, upon the request of the supervisor of any magisterial
district, may levy a special tax for any year of not exceeding ten cents
on the one hundred dollars assessed valuation on all property, in said
district, subject to local taxation for road purposes, to be used in
purchasing road machinery and equipment for such district, to be col-
lected, accounted for and paid out upon the warrant of said board in
all respects as if it were a county levy fixed by the board, except
that the fund collected from each magisterial district shall be kept
separate by the county treasurer, and a different rate of tax may be
levied in different districts. The amount collected in each district
shall be expended in that district, but no claim for work done on roads
and bridges in said county, or material therefor, shall be allowed by
said board unless the claimant shall present to the said board an
itemized account, giving name of each party employed, the number
of days each hand was employed, and the kind and quantity of material
used, and the price paid for said labor and material, which said account
shall be approved in writing by the supervisor of the district in which
said work was done or material furnished, who shall certify in writ-
ing upon said account that he has personally inspected the work and
material charged for, that the work has been properly done, and that
the account is correct and just.

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