Approved December 16, 1944.

Whereas, Robert ©. Norris, Jr., was appointed a Member of the
State Corporation Commission on August 30, 1944, and took the oath of,
and assumed office as a Member of the State Corporation Commission
on the same day. and

Whereas, the Supreme Court of “\ppeals of Virginia, in an opinion
rendered on November 20, 1044, held that Robert ©. Norris, Jr.. was
ineligible for this office, and consequently not entitled to compensation,
and |
Whereas, Robert ©. Norris, Jr., at the time of his appointment,
withdrew from his practice of law and came to Richmond to perform the
duties of office to which he had been appointed, and until the court
decision above referred to, performed all the duties incumbent upon him,
it is deemed equitable that an appropriation be made to him of a sum in
eu of the salary which he would have been entitled to receive had the
appointment been valid.

Now, therefore, Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
