amended and reenacted as follows:

Section 89. Pay of board.—Each member of the electoral board
shall receive from the county, city or town, respectively, for each day
of actual service the sum of six dollars, and the same mileage as is now
paid to jurors; provided that no member of such board shall receive
from the county, city or town, respectively, more than one hundred
fifty dollars in any one year, exclusive 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 services the sum of ten dollars, and may
receive as much as but not in excess of, three hundred dollars in any one
year, exclusive of mileage ; provided that in any county having a popula-
tion in excess of two thousand inhabitants per square mile and 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 ten dollars and
may receive as much as, but not in excess of, three hundred 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 additional
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 three hundred 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 three hundred dollars for the
secretary and fifty dollars for each other member of the board. The
counties, cities and towns shall furnish the necessary postage and sta-
tionery, including a 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 state-
ment 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.
