1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That section six
of an act approved February thirteenth, nineteen hundred and one, enti-
tled an act to incorporate the town of Jonesville, in the county of Lee, be
amended and re-enacted so as to read as follows:
§6. The general council may levy and provide for the collection of such
taxes as it may deem proper on all property, real and personal, within the
limits of said town so as not to exceed one dollar and fifty cents on the
one hundred dallars, assessed value; may impose a specific license on all
shows, performances, and exhibitions that may be given at or within one
mile of the corporate limits of the said town; may impose a license on all
business on which the State imposes a license ; may impose a license on the
sale of merchandise or other manufactured articles that may be offered for
sale by any person not permanently located and doing a regular business
in the said town. And the officer of the said town may have the same
power to collect fines and taxes within the corporate limits of the said
town and fines one mile beyond that the county and State officers now
have under the general laws of the State. And the said council shall have
the power to appropriate money for the payment of the building and
keeping in repair of a certain pike road leading from the railroad station
at Ben Hur to Jonesville, Virginia, and known as the Jonesville and Ben
Hur pike, either on account of work already done and indebtedness
already incurred, or for such work as may hereafter be done and in-
debtedness hereafter incurred, and for this purpose may issue certificates
of indebtedness of the said town, payable at such time or times as
the said council may by its resolution determine, provided the said
certificates of indebtedness shall not draw interest in excess of six
per centum per annum, and provided that such certificates shall not
exceed, at any one time, ten per centum of the assessed value of the
property of the said town, and provided further, that any such certificates
so issued shall be made payable within five years from December the first
after the date of issuance; and provided further, that the said certificates
shall not be sold for or a less sum realized out of the same than their face
value.
The said council may also issue such certificates of indebtedness for
the purpose of improving the streets, roads, alleys, and sidewalks of the
said town in like manner as hereinbefore provided for such certificates as
is hereby authorized to be used on the said road: provided, the aggregate
amount of such certificates, together with the certificates issued for the
building of the said road and improvement thereof, and certificates for
the improvement of said streets, roads, alleys and sidewalks do not alto-
gether exceed fifteen per cent. of the assessed value of the property of the
said town of Jonesville.
2. The general assembly being satisfied that an emergency exists, this
act shall be enforced from its passage, and the assessment of taxes for the
year nineteen hundred and ten shall be made according to the provision
of this act.
