Chap. 407.—An ACT to amend and re-enact section 1269 of the Code of Vir-
ginia, in relation to the establishment of lime grinding plants. [H B 310]

Approved March 25, 1930

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That section
twelve hundred and sixty-nine of the Code of Virginia be amended and
re-enacted so as to read as follows:

Section 1269. In addition to the plant established, and in operation
in Augusta county, the board shall, as soon as possible, establish a
plant or plants for the grinding of oyster shells or marl in the tide-
water section of the State convenient to water transportation. If the
grinding of oyster shells shall be determined upon, a small, movable
plant or plants may be established on a scow or scows to be towed
from place to place as the supply of shells may require; and if mar
in sufficient quantity, with a sufficient content of calcium carbonate,
in the opinion of the board, can be secured convenient to water trans-
portation, a plant for its manufacture shall be established in a location
as convenient as possible to all sections of tidewater.

The board shall also, at such time as it may deem expedient, es-
tablish a lime grinding plant under, and subject to all the provisions
of, this chapter, in Washington county, at such location as the board
may select.

The said plant may be of a portable type and the board shall have
the right to move the same from time to time, to other counties in the
State, as they may deem expedient; provided that no State lime grind-
ing plant, portable or otherwise, shall be established or operated in
tidewater Virginia, under this or any previous act of assembly.

There is hereby appropriated out of any funds in the State treasury
not otherwise appropriated, a sum sufficient, not to exceed twenty-five
thousand dollars, for the use of said board in paying the cost and ex-
penses in connection with the establishment and operation of said plant.
