in repairing the public roads therein; Provided nevertheless, that
the power hereby given to the levy court as aforesaid, shall not be
considered as authorising the reduction of more than two days of
labour in any one year, and that it shall and may be lawful for every
person who shall be summoned or warned to work as aforesaid,
and for every master or mistress of servants, in lieu of working
on the public roads as aforesaid, to pay to the supervisor of their
district the sum or thirty-seven and an half cents for each and every
day any person shall be summoned or warned to work as aforesaid.
This section appears to be repealed by 1807, ch. 58. |
