or town, respectively, more than twenty-five dollars in any one year, ex-
clusive of mileage, and provided further that in any county adjoining any
county having a density of population of one thousand or more a square
mile each member of the board shall receive for each day of actual serv-
ices the sum of seven dollars, and may receive as much as but not in ex-
cess of, one hundred fifty dollars in any one year, exclusive of mileage;
provided that in any county adjoining a city lying wholly in the State
and having a population of more than one hundred ninety thousand each
member of the board shall receive for each day of actual services the sum
of seven dollars, and 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, city or
town 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 the
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 coun-
cil of any city containing more than fifty thousand inhabitants may pro-
vide additional compensation for members of the electoral board, which

bound book for the minutes of its proceedings, for the use of the board.
Each member of the electoral board, before he is 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 governing body
of the county, city or town for which the board was appointed and for
which the service was rendered or expense incurred.
