Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia as follows:

the city of Lynchburg, Virginia”, approved March twenty-first,

thereto two new sections numbered thirty-eight-C and sixty-eight-
A as follows:

Section 38-C. Property for school purposes.—The city shall
have authority to acquire by purchase, eminent domain, grant, or
otherwise, property within the city or without the city for a
distance of one mile from the corporate limits thereof for school
purposes; provided, however, that no property for such purpose
outside the city shall be acquired that is held for, or devoted to,
county school purposes or other public use; and the school board
of the city shall have the same control over school property outside
the city, the title to which is vested in the city, as it exercises upon
like property within the corporate limits. Procedure in any con-
demnation proceedings brought under authority of this section shall
be as prescribed in section thirty-eight-B of this charter.

Section 68-A. Limited access streets—(a) A ‘limited access
street is defined as a street especially designed for through traffic
over which abutters have no easement or right of light, air, or
access to by reason of the fact that their property abuts upon such
limited access street.
(b) The city shall have the same power and authority with
respect to the planning, designation, acquisition, opening, construc-
tion, reconstruction, improvement, maintenance, discontinuance,
and regulation of the use of limited access streets; the designation
of existing streets as limited access streets, and the extinguishment
of easements in connection therewith; the regulation and restric-
tions of access to such streets; the construction of service roads in
connection therewith; and all other authority with respect to such
streets, and incidental thereto as the State Highway Commission
has under the provisions of chapter seventy-eight of the Acts of
the General Assembly, nineteen hundred forty-two, approved Feb-
ruary twenty-sixth, nineteen hundred forty-two, or as said State
Highway Commission may hereafter be granted, by amendment to
said act or otherwise.

2. An emergency exists and this act is in force from its passage.
