Chap. 658.—An ACT to refund W. E. Varner and others taxes improperly paid by
thein.

Approved March 2, 1898.

Whereas W. E. Varner, M. E. Varner, and E. C. Varner, infant
children of A. B. Varner, deceased, were erroneously assessed with taxes
as follows: W. E. Varner, three and three-fourths acres of land, forty-
eight cents, for eleven years, five dollars and twenty-eight cents; M. E.
Varner, three and two one-hundredths acres of land, forty-five cents, for
eleven years, four dollars and ninety-five cents; Ic. C. Varner, three and
three-fourths acres of land, forty-eight cents, for eleven years, five dol-
lars and twenty-eight cents; which said taxes were paid to the state by
them, which was an error in this, that the said laud had been sold from
them to J. C. Grove, who was during said time assessed with the said
land and paid the taxes in the same amount, the state thus getting the
tax twice on the same property from eighteen hundred and eighty-one to
eighteen hundred and ninety-two: therefore,

1. Beit enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the auditor
of public accounts be, and he is hereby, authorized and instructed to
draw warrants upon the state treasurer in favor of W. E. Varner for five
dollara and twenty-eight cents, M. E. Varner for four dollars and ninety-
five cents, and EF. C. Varner, for five dollars and twenty-eight cents, the
amount of taxes so erroneously paid by them respcctively.

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