  succeeding  their  appointment,  and their successors shall be appointed
  for full terms of four years as above provided.   Appointments  to  fill
  vacancies  shall be for the unexpired portion of the terms.  The members
  of the board shall serve without compensation.  They shall receive their

  paid  in  the  same  manner  as  other county charges.   The board shall
