CHAP. 138.—An ACT in relation to certain uncollected dog taxes in
the county of Lee.

Approved March 3, 1880.

Whereas the general assembly of Virginia passed an act,
approved February sixth, eighteen hundred and seventy-seven,
which imposed a certain tax on the dogs of the county of Lee
for the support of the public free schools of said county, and
the encouragement of wool-growing in same; and the said act
having been repealed by the general assembly on the twenty-
ninth of December, eighteen hundred and seventy-seven, leav-
ing in the hands of the collectors certain tickets uncollected,
and for which the treasurer held the receipts of said collectors ;
and whereas the repeal of the law was made before the expira-
tion of the time for collecting, thereby preventing the collect-
ors from collecting said dog tax and paying off in full their
receipts to the treasurer, and leaving yet in their hands certain
amounts on account of dog taxes uncollected ; therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That
if the said collectors or their sureties on retiring shall return a
sworn list of all the dog taxes remaining in their hands uncol-
lected by reason of the passage of the above act, they shall be
released from the payment of same: provided, that the said list
shall be approved and certified to by the board of supervisors
of said county, and upon such certificate and approval of the
board of supervisors the treasurer shall credit upon the bonds
of the deputy collectors the amount of uncollected dog taxes
of the said collectors respectively, and the said treasurer shall
have credit for same in his settlement with the county school
board.

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