     passage of this act, the sheriffs of the several counties of
     this Commonwealth are hereby authorized to organize themselves
     into a State Association, with power to hold annual meetings at
     such time and place within the State as they may designate, for
     the purpose of securing more uniformity and cooperation in the
     conduct of their offices and improving their service to the
     public.
        Section 2.  Except in counties of the sixth, seventh, and
     eighth classes, each sheriff or deputy sheriff, or solicitor
     representing any sheriff, shall be allowed all reasonable
     expenses, including hotel bills and traveling expenses actually
     incurred going to, attending, and returning from any annual
     meeting of the association, but not in excess of fifty dollars
     in any one year, which shall be paid by the county of which he
     is an officer by orders drawn on the treasurer thereof. The time
     spent in attending such meetings shall not be more than three
     days exclusive of the time employed in traveling thereto and
     therefrom. The expenses of the annual meetings of the
     association, including any necessary amount for printing,

     counties of the sixth, seventh, and eighth classes, be paid by
     the proper counties, but shall not exceed twenty-five dollars
     for each county the sheriff of which is a member of said
     association. In any county of the sixth, seventh, or eighth
     class, the sheriff of which may be a member of said association,
     the county commissioners may allow like expenses to such sheriff
     or his representative for attending any such annual meeting, and
     may join with the other counties, aforesaid, in sharing the
     expenses of such meetings to the extent aforesaid.
