Chap. 39.—An ACT to amend and re-enact sections 6 and 9 of an act
incorporating the Fauquier and Rappahannock Railroad Company,
approved February 21, 1882.

4 In force January 28, 1884.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That
sections six and nine of the act incorporating the Fauquier
and Rappahannock Railroad Company, approved February
twenty-first, eighteen hundred and eighty-two, be amended
and re-enacted so as to read as follows:

§ 6. Subscriptions to the stock of said company may be
made by the county of Rappahannock, or any adjoining
county interested in the construction of this road or its
branches: provided, however, that the subscriptions voted by
the counties shall be expended in the counties making the
same, and that the subscriptions in each county shall not ex-
ceed one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and the proper
authorities of said counties shall cause a vote to be taken
therein on the question of such county subscriptions at such
time as the commissioners of subscriptions named in the first
section of this act, or a majority of them, or the company
may ask such vote to be taken. Should such subscriptions
be ordered in accordance with the provisions of the general
law, the board of supervisors of said county or counties shall
muke such subscriptions, notwithstanding the amount so sub-
scribed shall require the imposition of an annual tax in excess
of twenty cents on the one hundred dollars to pay the in-
terest on the amount so subscribed, and to provide a sinking
fund for the extinguishment of the principal, and to this end
may issue bonds bearing a rate of interest not exceeding six
per centum per annum, of such denominations as said author-
ities may determine.

§ 9. The road herein authorized to be constructed, shall be
commenced within two years from the first day of January,
eixhteen hundred and eighty-four, and completed to Sperry-
ville within three years after that date.

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