Chap. 238.—An ACT to amend and re-enact section 9 of “an act entitled an act
to incorporate the Gladeville railroad company, in Wise county,” approved
February 20, 1892.

Approved February 5, 1896.

Whereas the Gladeville railroad company, incorporated by an act
of the general assembly, approved February twentieth, eighteen hun-
dred and ninety-two, has constructed a road-bed, including trestles,
from Ramsey, on the Norfolk and Western railroad, to the town of
Gladeville, in Wise county, but has not as yet equipped and put in
operation said line of road, owing as it is represented to the great
financial depression that has prevailed in this country, and further
time is asked for the completion of the same: now, therefore,

1. Beit enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That section
nine of chapter three hundred and twenty-four of the acts of the
session of eighteen hundred and ninety-one and ninety-two, be
amended and re-enacted so as to read as follows:

§ 9. The said company shall be required to complete the construc-
tion of said line from Ramsey to Gladeville, or some other line, from
Gladeville to a point on the line of the Louisville and Nashville or
Norfolk and Western railroad within five years from the first day of
March, eighteen hundred and ninety-six; otherwise the powers,
privileges and franchises hereby granted, shall be annulled and be-
come void.

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