of said road expenses by levying upon the assessable property of the
county a tax sufficient to pay said expenses incurred as aforesaid for the
opening, improving, repairs and construction of the public roads; and
each Commissioner shall, after examination of the public roads in his
respective district and over which he shall have control, submit to the

bridges of the same; provided, the tax imposed for the same shall not

the county; and in the event one of the districts shall not be represented
in the Board of County Commissioners, the said Board shall collect such
information from the taxpayers of that district as they may deem satis-
factory and make their levy according; when, however, any public road
shall be the dividing line between two or more election districts, the ex-
penses incurred for opening, repairing or construction of said road or
bridges upon the same, the cost shall be equally borne by the two districts.

said Board the account required by the Commissioners, and make oath,
administered by one of the Board, that said account is a true statement
of the number of hours each laborer was engaged in active work on the
roads during the preceding month, and that he was present with the
laborers during that time; and if said supervisor is compelled to be absent
during that time he shall state the number of hours he was so absent,
with reasons for such absence; and if any such account so produced shall
contain any false statement, or if said supervisor shall fail to perform
his duties herein required of him to the satisfaction of said Board of
County Commssioners, he may at once be dismissed from his position by
the said Board, and forfeit all pay due him for his services as road super-
visor.
