Chap. 63.—An ACT appropriating the sum of $31,000.00 for paying for furni-
ture, floor coverings, and light fixtures purchased by the capitol enlarge-
ment committee; to pay one member of the executive committee for ser-
vices, and to complete the payments on the light’ and power plant.

Approved February 28, 1906.

Whereas in the act of assembly providing for the enlargement of the
capitol no provision was made for the furnishings thereof, and it was
deemed necessary by the enlargement committee to furnish the two assem-
bly halls and the committee rooms, and said committee did make such
purchases, aggregating nearly twenty-six thousand dollars, and now recom-
mends that the State appropriate sufficient money to pay therefor; ani

Whereas the appropriation of twenty-five thousand dollars made for
the purpose of constructing the light and power plant was found to be
wholly inadequate, and that the work could not be done for that sum ; and
the committee deeming it necessary that the plant be built, contracted
therefor at a total cost of over thirty-three thousand dollars, so that, after
applying to the payment thereof the balance of five thousand dollars left
of the capitol appropriation unexpended, there still remains a deficit,
which, with a few small items, amounts to about four thousand dollars;
and

Whereas it is deemed proper that the two members of the executive com-
mittee, of said enlargement committee, upon whom devolved the super-
vision and detailed work of construction and purchase, should be com-
pensated for the great amount of time and labor given by them to the
work: therefore,

1. Be it enacted hy the general assembly of Virginia, That the sum of
thirty-one thousand dollars, or so much thereof as may be necessary, be.
and the same is hereby, appropriated out of any money in the treasury
not otherwise appropriated for making up the deficit herein above referred
to; for paying one member of the said executive committee, namely. S. 1.
Kelley, the sum of three hundred dollars, and for paying the following
