Chap. 196.—An ACT for the relief of Louis S. Sacks. [H B 380]
Approved March 23, 1932

Whereas, some time during the year nineteen hundred and thirty-
one employees of the State veterinarian made a tuberculin test of
the herd of Mister Louis S. Sacks, of Northampton county, Vir-
ginia, and found among his herd a reactor, which was considered by
Mister Sacks very valuable and for which he asked a retest; that,
during negotiations for a retest and in a conversation with Doctor
Sipos, Mister Sacks understood that the cow, should she have been
slaughtered following the original test, was of a fair cash value of
one hundred dollars; that subsequently a retest was made, the animal
again reacting; that she was sold for the sum of twenty dollars and
slaughtered according to law, and that the said Sacks being of the
opinion that the amount of one hundred dollars, at which he under-
stood she would have been appraised upon slaughter following the
original test, was the amount at which he understood the cow would
be appraised or was appraised upon her slaughter after a retest; and

Whereas, no formal appraisement was made, as provided by law,
and no formal steps taken on account of the understanding aforesaid,
it became too late, according to law, to have an appraisement made
so that the slaughtered animal could be paid for as provided by the
State law; and

Whereas, because of the misunderstanding of his rights and es-
pecially as to the question whether or not an appraisement had been
made, said Sacks has been damaged to the extent of at least fifty
dollars; now, therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That there
be and is hereby appropriated the sum of fifty dollars, payable out of
the funds in the State treasury appropriated for the relief of persons
whose stock has been slaughtered after having reacted to tuberculin
tests, administered according to law by the State veterinarian, his
agents or employees, and the comptroller is hereby authorized and
directed to draw his warrant upon the treasurer of Virginia for the
sum of fifty dollars ($50.00), payable to Louis S. Sacks, in full of his

claim.
