Approved March 38, 1806.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That section
seven of an act entitled an act incorporating the Masonic home of
Virginia, approved January seven, eighteen hundred and ninety, be
amended and re-enacted so as to read as follows:

§ 7. From and after the first annual election of governors, as pro-
vided for in the last preceding section, there shall be three addi-
tional members of said board of governors on the part of the grand
lodge of Virginia, consisting of the grand master, grand senior
warden, and the grand junior warden. These shall be entitled to all
the rights and privileges and subject to all the rules and regulations
prescribed by the by-laws and by this act for the government of the
said board, except that the said grand lodge governors who hold
their positions on the board solely as representatives of the grand
lodge, shall not be eligible to the offices of president or vice-presi-
dent of the board. These three officers of the grand lodge shall hold
their offices as governors of said institution until the succeeding
grand annual communication of the grand lodge, or until their suc-
cessors are duly elected and qualified; and at each annual session
of the grand lodge the persons who shall be elected and installed as
grand master, grand senior warden and grand junior warden, shall
at the same time become ex-officio governors on the part of the
grand lodge of the Masonic home of Virginia, to continue in office
for one year, or until their successors are duly elected and qualified.
Should the office of grand master, grand senior warden, or grand
junior warden become vacant during the term for which the incum-
bent was elected, then in that case the person who shall succeed to
the vacant office of the grand lodge shall also succeed to the vacancy
in the board of governors created thereby.
2. This act shall be in force from its passage.
