ceased.

Approved February 26, 1910.

Whereas, the grounds, buildings and equipment of the University of
Virginia are the property of the State of Virginia; and

Whereas, the late James E. Phillips was a subcontractor in the work
of restoring the buildings of that institution after the great fire of eigh-
teen hundred and ninety-five, and, as such subcontractor, did the work
of plumbing, steam-heating, gas-fitting, and so forth, and furnished all
the materials and supplies necessary thereto; and

Whereas, when the general contractor failed and abandoned the work,
there was due the said James E. Phillips, for such work and supplies, the
sum of twelve thousand three hundred and sixty-one dollars and thirty-
four cents, with interest thereon at the rate of six per centum per annum
from May fifteenth, eighteen hundred and ninety-seven, no part of which
sum has ever been paid, except the sum of five thousand dollars, appro-
priated by the general assembly of Virginia by an act approved May
thirteenth, nineteen hundred and three; and ,

Whereas, the State of Virginia has received the benefit of the labor
and materials done and furnished by the said James E. Phillips, and is,
for many reasons, under obligation to pay the whole of said sum to the
personal representative of the estate of said Phillips, he having departed
this life ; therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the auditor
of public accounts be directed to draw his warrants on the treasurer of
the State of Virginia, payable to the personal representative of the estate
of James E. Phillips for the sum of seven thousand three hundred and
sixty-one dollars and thirty-four cents; and the sum of seven thousand
three hundred and sixty-one dollars and thirty-four cents is hereby appro-
priated out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated for
the purpose of paying such sum. :

Not more than two thousand three hundred and sixty-one dollars and
thirty-four cents shall be paid during the fiscal year of nineteen hundred
and ten, and the remaining five thousand dollars paid in fiscal year of
nineteen hundred and eleven.
