SEC. 28G. All moneys belonging to said Board of Road Di-
rectors shall be deposited in one or more banks of said county
to the credit of said board, and shall be paid out only upon
checks signed- by the president of said board and countersigned
by the Road Engineer; except that for such sums as shall be
paid for labor or provender, checks may be signed by the di-
rector of the respective districts, countersigned by the Engi-
neer, and the statement upon the checks that such checks are
for labor or provender, shall be sufficient warrant for their
payment when so signed. The total sum received for the use
of the roads and bridges from any source, after payment into
the redemption fund, as hereinafter provided for, shall be di-
vided into four equal parts, and one part shall be known as the
general fund, out of which the salaries of the members of the
board, the salary of the Engineer and all rebates payable to
incorporated towns shall be paid, and the residue thereof shall
be subject to the disposition of a majority of said board for
road or bridge uses, and such residue shall each year be held as
an emergency fund, and no part thereof shall be expended until
95 per cent, of the funds allotted to each district shall have
been expended; the remaining three parts shall be equally di-
vided among the four road districts herein created for use upon
the roads and bridges of the respective districts, and the sum
so allotted to each road district shall be divided, among the
election districts of the respective road districts, according to
their road mileage; and the Engineer shall keep a separate
itemized account of all expenditures, seeing to it that no road
district exceeds its allotment. Should the general fund be
insufficient to pay the charges against it, the deficiency shall
be made up by deducting a sufficient amount, pro rata, from
the sum allowed each road district hereunder. A detailed ac-
count of all receipts and expenditures of said board shall be
published once a year in the month of March, in at least two
newspapers published in said county.
