Entitled an Act to Incorporate the Trustees of the Glebe Fund of Lan-
caster County.

Approved March 29, 1871.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That
section ten of the act passed March sixteenth, eighteen hundred
and forty-seven, entitled an act to incorporate the trustees of
the glebe fund of Lancaster county, be amended and re-enacted
so as to read as follows:

Ҥ 10. Be it further enacted, That it shall be lawful for the
county court of said county, whenever it shall seem to said
court to be advisable for the interests of the people of said
county, that the interest and income of said fund shall be used
and applied otherwise than is provided in the second section
of this act, or that the principal of said fund shall be devoted
to any other purpose than is hereinbefore provided for, to make
an order plainly and distinctly setting forth any other disposi-
tion that may be desired to have made of the interest and in-
come, or of the principal of said fund, and require the com-
missioners of election, at the next general election to be held
in said county, to take the sense of the legally qualified voters
of said county upon the disposition of said fund proposed to
be made in said order, and at such election each of said voters
who shall approve such proposed disposition, shall deposit a
ticket or ballot, on which shall be written or printed the words
“For the disposition”; and each of said voters who shall be op-
posed to such proposed disposition, shall deposit a ticket or

allot, on which shall be written or printed “Against the dispo-
sition.” The said election shall be conducted and the result
ascertained according to the general election law, and if it ap-
pear, from the returns of said election, that a majority of the
registered voters of said county have voted in favor of the
disposition of the interest and income, or of the principal of
said fand proposed in said order, then it shall be the duty of
the said court to enter upon its record an order requiring the
said trustees to dispose of the interest and income, or of the
principal of said fund, as was proposed in said order, and it
shall be the duty of said trustees, under the direction of the
said court, to dispose of the said fund accordingly; but if a
majority of the registered voters shall not be in favor of the
disposition proposed, then the interest and income, and the
principal of said fund, shall continue to be used and applied as
by this act is directed: provided, that no part of said fund
shall be applied to any other purpose than for the support of
the poor of said county, and tor educational purposes.”

2. This act shall be in force from its passage.
