[S 222]

Approved March 8, 1950

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That the Code of 1950 be amended by adding a section num-
bered 22-7.1 as follows:

§ 22-7.1. The treasurer of a county or city in which a joint
school is located shall be the fiscal agent of such school, and shall
receive and disburse the revenues thereof; all disbursements there-
from shall be by warrant signed by the chairman and clerk of the
board of control for such school, and countersigned by such treas-
urer as fiscal agent.

For his services as fiscal agent, the treasurer shall be paid
such salary as may be agreed upon by the committee for control
of the joint school and treasurer. In the event they cannot agree,
then the amount of salary to be paid shall be submitted to the
judge of the circuit or corporation court of the county or city in
which the school is located for hearing and determination, and the
amount so fixed by the judge or court shall be binding upon both
the treasurer and the committee for control. Provided that nothing
contained in this section shall affect the regular salary allowance
of the treasurer as fixed annually by the State Compensation Board.

The provisions of this section shall not apply to the property and
school known as New London Academy leased under the provisions
of Chapter 174 of the Acts of Assembly of 1887, approved May 10,
1887, and acts amendatory thereof.
