CHAP. 285.—An ACT for the relief of Rappahannock school dis-
trict, in King George county.

Approved February 16, 1892.

Whereas it appears in taking the last school census of
Rappahannock district, King George county, Virginia,
serious errors were committed, to the great damage of the
school system; and whereas by such errors the people of
that district are deprived of the fair benefits of the school
system ; therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That
the commissioner of the revenue of King George county
be, and is hereby, empowered to take the census of all
persons between the ages of five and twenty-one years re-
siding in said district, and shall comply in all respects
with the general law of the state in such cases made and
provided; and the general law of the state relating to the
taking of the census of school population by the clerk of
each district school board shall apply to the duties herein
imposed upon the said commissioner of the revenue, and
the same duties and liabilities are hereby imposed upon
the other school officers, which in such cases are imposed
upon them by the general] law.

2. After the said census has been taken and fully com-
pleted it shall be considered as the true census of the dis-
trict for all school purposes, and shall be the basis for
apportioning the school funds according to subdivision
nine of section fourteen hundred and thirty-six, code of
eighteen hundred and eighty-seven; and the census taken
according to the provisions of this act shall stand for all
school purposes as if the same had been taken according to
the provisions of the general Jaw in such cases made and
provided.

3. The said commissioner of the revenue shall receive
for his services under this act such compensation as the
said district board may deem reasonable: provided, the
same shall not exceed the compensation for similar ser-
vices prescribed in section fourteen hundred and sixty-
two, code of eighteen hundred and eighty-seven.

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