of directors shall fix the compensation board members shall receive for each
day spent attending the meetings, or while engaged in official business under
the order of the board and actual and necessary expenses. The term "actual and

the compensation to be paid to the other officers named in this title, to be
paid out of the treasury of the district: provided, that such board shall,
upon the petition of fifty (50) or a majority of the freeholders within such
district, submit to the electors, at any general election, a schedule of
salaries and fees to be paid hereunder. Such petition must be presented to the
board twenty (20) days prior to a general election, and the result of the
election shall be determined and declared in all respects as other elections
are determined and declared under this title.
