1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia,
That section thirty-eight of an act approved January
thirty-first, eighteen hundred and eighty-four, entitled an
act to provide a new charter for the city of Roanoke, be
amended and re-enacted so as to read as follows:

338. The treasurer may be required to keep all moneys
in his hands belonging to the city in such place or places
of deposit as the city council may by ordinance provide,
order, establish, or direct. Such moneys shall be kept
separate and distinct from his own moneys; and he is here-
by expressly prohibited from using, directly or indirectly,
the corporation’s money or warrants in his custody or keep-
ing, for his own use and benefit, or that of any person or
persons whomsoever; and any violation of this provision
shall subject him to immediate removal from office. In
case of his removal the city council shall elect a qualified
person to fill said office until the next general election
which may be held in the city, when the qualified voters
of said city shall, as in other cases, fill such vacancy by
an election of a successor, who shall hold his office for
the remainder, if any, of the unexpired term of the offi-
cer removed. The treasurer shall receive such compensa-
tion as is provided by law in case of city treasurers. No
person shal! be allowed to qualify a second time as treas-
urer, unless and until he shall have satisfactorily settled
his account as treasurer for the preceding term; and if
such settlement be not made on or before the regular
time for his entering upon the duties of his office for
another term, the office shall be considered vacant, and
the vacancy shal] be filled as hereinbefore provided.
2. This act shall be in force from its passage.
