And be it enacted that
in case of any difference of opinion between such valuators as to the amount
of compensation as aforesaid, the opinion of the majority shall be taken to be
the award; and that it shall be lawful for such valuators, or the majority of
them, to employ a surveyor in order to obtain a correct mensuration and
description of the area and boundaries of any piece of land for which they
shall be called upon to award compensation, and to allow and pay to such
surveyor for such mensuration and description any sum not exceeding $1.05; and
to demand and receive, over and above any sum paid or engaged to be paid to
any such surveyor, for each and every award fairly written out (on parchment
if furnished to them for that purpose), the sum of $2.10, to be equally
divided between the valuators making and signing such award.
