The elective members of the provincial board shall receive a compensation, to be fixed by resolution of the provincial board, of not less than five nor more than fifteen pesos for each day of actual attendance at the sessions of the board or of the performance of other duties assigned to either of them or both by the provincial board; but said members shall not be allowed more than one compensation for the same day.
