CHAPTER 451 AN ACT FOR BUILDING AND IMPROVING THE PUBLIC ROADS IN THE DIFFERENT TOWNSHIPS IN NASH COUNTY. Whereas, certain townships and certain parts of other townships of Nash County, have already provided for working their public roads by a system of taxation and by the issuance of bonds; and, whereas, the other townships in Nash County, together with the excluded parts of those townships already partially embraced in the road law, desire to provide for the working of their public roads in like manner, without, however, disturbing or in any wise interfering with the districts already created, or with the grant of legislative powers to them, except as may be hereinafter expressly provided for; now, therefore, The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact:
That the road commissioners of the several townships hereinbefore named shall have power and authority to make such rules and regulations as they may deem expedient and necessary for the carrying out of the provisions of this act as relates to their respective townships not inconsistent with or superior in authority to the provisions of this act. They shall have authority to employ counsel in all matters wherein they deem it necessary, and pay such counsel out of any funds that may come into their hands.
