thence with R. H. Zeveley’s line to stone corner with J. S. Brady
and W. G. Birdsall; thence across said Birdsall’s land to corner of
Charles Nichols, and Ridley Parker Johnson’s estate in said Birdsall’s
line; thence with said Nichols to corner of J. D. Dillon and Annie Dil-
lon in said line; thence with said J. D. Dillon and Annie Dillon’s line
and across said Hampton to the beginning, shall be and constitute an in-
corporated community and town by the name of “the town of Pur-
cellville.”

2. The said town and its officers shall have all the powers and privi-
leges, and be subject to all the restrictions provided by the general laws
of this Commonwealth for the government of towns and the power of
the officers of towns.

3. The mayor, recorder and councilmen shall be elected by the quali-
fied voters of said town under the general laws of the State pertaining
to elections, and the first election under this act shall be held on the
second Tuesday in June, nineteen hundred and eight. Until such
election is held, the following named officers are hereby declared to be
the officers of the said town, to serve as such officers until their suc-
cessors are duly elected and qualified :

Eugene Monroe shall be mayor; E. T. Hirst, recorder; J. T. Cornwall,
sergeant; W. P. Pancoast, Notley Ball, W. S. Steele, J. T, Hirst, Doctor
J.B. Hackley and J. W. Gregg shall compose the town council.

The terms of such officers as are elected shall commence on the first
day of September succeeding their election, and their term of office shall
continue for such period as may be fixed by the general law:

4. The corporate limits of said town are hereby created and declared
to be a separate and distinct road district in Loudoun county, and no
road tax shall be levied on any property within said limit, for which
exemption the said town shall keep its own streets in order, and shall not
be embraced in any road district in Loudoun county.

5. Since the need of improvement in the streets and sidewalks of
the town is urgent, an emergency exists, therefore this act shall be in
force from its passage.
