Except as herein otherwise provided, each member of the board elected or appointed pursuant to the authority herein contained is constituted and appointed director and supervisor of all the public roads within the district which he or she represents, and shall have the authority, with due recognition of the wage scale herein provided, to hire and discharge road crews, to supervise, inspect, superintend, appoint, and designate all public roads and bridges within his or her district and the work to be done thereon, and such authority shall be exclusive in such respect.
