The Mayor, Treasurer and Recorder shall each be paid the sum of one hundred dollars ($100) each month, which shall be compensation in full for their services as officials of the Town of Lynchburg.

SECTION 2. This Act shall have no effect unless it is approved by a two-thirds (2/3) vote of the Board of Commissioners of the Town of Lynchburg before July 1, 1981. Its approval or nonapproval shall be proclaimed by the presiding officer of the Board of Commissioners and certified by him to the Secretary of State.

SECTION 3. For the purpose of approving or rejecting the provisions of this Act, it shall be effective upon becoming a law, the public welfare requiring it. For all other purposes, it shall become effective upon being approved as provided in Section 2.
