Approved March 5, 1940

1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia, That
section eighty-nine of the Code of Virginia, as heretofore amended,
be amended and re-enacted so as to read as follows: ,

Section 89. Each member of the electoral board shall receive
from the county or city, respectively, for each day of actual services
the sum of five dollars, and the same mileage as is now paid to jurors;
provided, that no member of such board shall receive more than
twenty-five dollars in any one year, exclusive of mileage, provided,
however, that in any county adjoining any county having a density
of population of five hundred or more per square mile, each member of
such board may receive as much as, but not in excess of, fifty dollars
in any one year, exclusive of mileage; and provided further, that in
the event one or more special elections be held in any county or city
in any year, the members of the electoral board shall be paid addi-
tional amounts at the same per diem, and mileage; but the secretary
of such board shall in addition to the per diem herein provided for be
allowed his expenses not to exceed twenty-five dollars in any one
year, and the council of any city containing more than fifty thousand
inhabitants may provide additional compensation for members of
the electoral board, which shall not be less than one hundred dollars
for the secretary and twenty-five dollars for each other member of
the board. The counties and cities shall furnish the necessary postage
and stationery, including a bound book for the minutes of its pro-
ceedings, for the use of the board. Each member of the electoral
board, before he shall be entitled to receive any amount under this
section, shall make out a statement under oath, of his claim, and the
secretary shall, in addition, make out under his oath, a statement of
postage and stationery used by the board, and the statements when
so made out and found correct shall be paid by the board of super-
visors or other governing body of the county or council or other gov-
erning body of the city for which such board was appointed.
