Chap. 241.—An ACT to prescribe the penalty of the bond of the
Treasurer of Petersburg, to secure the State Revenue, and to re-
require weekly settlements of such Treasurer.

Approved February 26, 1886.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That
the treasurer of the city of Petersburg, instead of the bond re-
quired by the general laws to be given, shall, on qualifying be-
fore the judge of the corporation court of the said city (or
whenever it shall be necessary for him to give a new bond),
execute a bond, conditioned for the faithful discharge of his
duties, in regard to the state revenue, in the penalty of seventy-
five thousand dollars, and he shall, on Monday of each week,
make up and render to the auditor of public accounts a sworn
statement of all moneys collected by him on account of the
state revenue, and at the same time pay into the treasury, by
remittance or otherwise, the amount shown to be due by such
statement. For his failure to make such weekly statement and
remittance at any time, upon notice of the fact from the auditor
of public accounts to the judge of the corporation court of said
city, the said judge shall upon notice remove the said treasurer
from office, and said treasurer shall forfeit his commission on
the amount collected and not accounted for as hereinbefore
provided. ,

2. This act shall not apply to or affect the bond of the present
treasurer of the city aforesaid, but shall be in force from and
after the term when, for any legal cause, a new bond shall be
required from him or any successor to said office.
