N.Y. Railroad Law § 234: Pay of commissioners

§ 234. Pay of commissioners. Each of the commissioners shall be paid

for his services at the rate of ten dollars per day for each day of

actual service as such commissioner, and all expenses necessarily

incurred by him in the discharge of his duties, to be paid by such

corporation, but if a sufficient amount of capital stock shall not be

subscribed within one year after the appointment of such commissioners

to authorize the formation of such corporation, the commissioners shall

receive no salary, and shall cause to be returned to the subscribers for

such stock the amounts paid in by them, after deducting therefrom the

necessary expenses incurred by the commissioners, but the time, if any,

unavoidably consumed by the pendency of legal proceedings shall not be

deemed a part of any period of time limited by this article.
