Chap. 326.—An ACT to authorize the postponement of the payment of the sum
of $16,000.00 and interest due by the school board of Ettrick sub-school
district, of Chesterfield county, to the literary fund. (S B 154]
Approved March 20, 1922.
Whereas, in the year nineteen hundred, the general assembly of
Virginia, in order to increase the school session from six to mine
months, created in the county of Chesterfield, the Ettrick sub-schoo!
district, with the then taxable value of three hundred and three thou-
sand, seven hundred and seventy dollars; and
Whereas, there is located within this sub-school district, the Vir-
ginia Normal and Industrial Institute, devoted to the training of col-
ored children and teachers, which has an enrollment of over one
thousand students and the said school has continued to grow in terri-
tory from thirteen to one hundred and three acres, and acquires some
of the most valuable building lots and improved property from said
district, so that its plant is now worth around four hundred thousand
dollars; and further, its being a colored institution has prohibited
the normal growth of the village of Ettrick so that in nineteen hun-
dred and twenty-one the taxable values have been reduced to three
hundred and one thousand, six hundred and sixty dollars; and
Whereas, the loyal citizens of said district have recently raised
eight thousand dollars towards the erection of a twenty-four thousand
dollar school building, and the present taxable income even at the
highest rate allowable by law for school purposes is insufficient to
meet the expense of operating the school and paying off the indebted-
ness due the literary fund of sixteen thousand dollars, borrowed for
the purpose of the erection of the new school building, just completed,
because of the loss of taxes on the property owned by the State
within the said district known as the said Virginia Normal and In-
dustrial Institute, now nomtaxable, from which the said sub-school
district formerly derived a large amount of its taxes for the support
of its public schools; ,
1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the
school board of Ettrick sub-school district of Chesterfield county be,
and it is- hereby, authorized to postpone to January first, nineteen
hundred and twenty-five, the payment of the sum of sixteen thousand
dollars and accrued and accruing interest due by the said school
board to the literary. fund of the Commonwealth.
