Hospital to exchange certain land with the heirs of J. B. Rhea, deceased, and to
execute and receive the necessary deeds for the purpose of carrying the same
into effect. ;

Approved April 4, 1903.

Whereas, the board of directors of the Southwestern Lunatic Asylum
ou the seventeenth of June, eighteen hundred and eighty-seven, entered
into an agreement with J. B. Rhea, an adjoining land owner, to straighten
the division lines between the land owned by said Rhea and those owned
by the Southwestern State Hospital, for the purpose of economizing in
fencing and of giving better shape to the land of both parties; and,

Whereas, the said agreement was modified and enlarged on July twelfth,
cighteen hundred and ninety-nine, and the fences built in conformity
therewith; and,

Whereas, by a survey and plot made it appears that each party will gain
and lose about an equal quantity of land by reason of said change of lines,
and it being of mutual advantage to the two parties that said exchange of
lund should be made permanent; and,

Whereas, said J. B. Rhea is now dead and his widow and heirs are
willing to carry into effect said arrangement; therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the board
of directors of the Southwestern State Hospital be, and they are hereby,
authorized and empowered to exchange lands with the widow and heirs
f J. B. Rhea, deceased, for the purpose of carrying out and making
ermanent the said agreements mentioned in the foregoing preamble, and
» execute, deliver and receive all necessary deeds to effectuate the same.

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