Chap. 69.—An ACT for the relief of tax-payers of King William county, pro-
viding that the penalty of five per centum shall not be added till the first
day of March, 1896.

Approved January 16, 1896.

Whereas the late commissioner of the revenue of King William
county was arrested, tried and sentenced to serve a term in the state
penitentiary before he had completed the property-books for the year
eighteen hundred and ninety-five, and by reason of his failure to
complete said books the tax bills against the tax-payers of said
county were not made out for the said year eighteen hundred and
ninety-five; and whereas the treasurer of said county was in de-
fault, and failed to advertise that he would be present at certain
places in the magisterial districts of said county to receive the
taxes on or before the first day of December, in the year eighteen
hundred and ninety-five, as provided in section six hundred and
three of the code of Virginia: therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the
treasurer of the county of King William shall not add to the tax-
bills of said county for the year eighteen hundred and ninety-five
the penalty of five per centum as prescribed in section six hundred
and three of the code of Virginia until the first day of March, eigh-
teen hundred and ninety-six.

2. This act shall be in force from its passage.
