CHAP. 462.—An ACT to relieve the Max Meadows land and im-
provement company, Max Meadows iron company, Park land
company, Crockett land company and A. C. Denniston, against
an improper and erroneous assessment of their respective lands
made in the year 1891, and to enable them to apply to the county
court of Wythe county for a correction of said assessments.

Approved February 29, 1892.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia,
That the time prescribed, ‘“ How and when erroneous as-
sessments of land may be corrected,” as provided by sec-
tion four hundred and forty-four of chapter twenty-three
of the code of eighteen hundred and eighty-seven, be, and
the same is hereby, extended in favor of the Max Meadows
land and improvement company, Max Meadows iron
company, Park land company, Crockett land company and
A. C. Denniston, to the first day of July, Anno Domini,
eighteen hundred and ninety-two: provided, however,
that nothing in this act shall authorize the county court
of Wythe county to diminish the aggregate of the amount
of the assessments heretofore made against all of said
companies, but to properly apportion the same among said
companies as is right; and said court shall have power to
correct the said assessments so as to charge the said com-
panies with the amounts of lands actually owned by each
with the betterments thereon: provided, however, that
nothing in this act shall be construed to authorize or en-
able the said court to reduce the assessment upon any one
of said parcels of land, and said court shall not have
power to reduce the assessments made upon the improve-
ments on said parcels of land.

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