cretion, have finger boards or sign posts placed at road crossings
or intersections designating the distance to the nearest promin-

each year in different parts of the County for the discussion of
road matters; reasonable notice of said meetings to be given by

for which he is appointed, and who shall have, during the one
year prior to his appointment, resided in said district and paid
taxes annually on property of at least an assessed valuation of
five hundred dollars, to act as road supervisor of that district,
until his successor is appointed and qualified. The road super-
visors so appointed shall serve for one year, and no supervisor
so appointed shall be removed from office except upon charges
of which he shall have due notice, and not until, after public
trial, he shall have been found guilty of such charges; and
they shall each give bond to the Board of County Commissioners
of Baltimore County properly conditioned for the faithful per-
formance of their duties, in the penal sum of from one thou-

suit at the instance of the said Commissioners for any breach
of duty on the part of the road supervisor; whereby said Com-

of road funds committed to them for expenditure or disburse-

for each election district to take direct care and charge on behalf
of the County Commissioners of Baltimore County of all roads
and bridges in his district, and he shall see that no obstructions,
hindrances or injury is permitted upon any road or bridge under
his supervision, and when any road or bridge shall form the
boundary between districts, the Commissioners shall assign to
the supervisor for each district the portion of such road or
bridge over which he shall have supervision, as aforesaid. Said
