Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 53-247, as amended, of the Code of Virginia be amended and
reenacted as follows:

§ 53-247. Each probation and parole officer shall also be paid all
necessary traveling and other expenses incurred by him in the discharge
of his duties hereunder. The salary and expenses herein provided for shall
be paid by the State and no part shall be paid by or chargeable to any
county or city, except as hereinafter provided.

Provided, however, the governing body of any county * or city *
may add to the fixed compensation of such probation and parole officers
such amount as such governing body may appropriate with such total
amount not to exceed fifty per cent of the amount paid by the State to
such probation and parole officers and provided further that no such
additional amount paid by such city, cities, county or counties shall be
chargeable to the Department of Welfare and Institutions or the Parole
Board, nor will it remove or supersede any authority, control or super-
vision of such Department or Board.
