Chap. 748.—An ACT to relieve the heirs of Adeline V. Hall from erroneous
assessment of land.

Approved March 6, 1900.

Whereas it appears that a tract of land containing one hundred and
thirty acres, situate at Bowers Hill, Norfolk county, belonging to
Adeline V. Hall, sometimes called Adeline Hall, was, prior to eighteen
hundred and ninety-one, assessed at eight dollars per acre, or a total
of one thousand and forty dollars, and since eighteen hundred and
ninety-five assessed at five dollars per acre, including buildings and im-
provements, which latter sum is now and was then its fair cash value,
but which, in the reassessment of lands in the year eighteen hundred
and ninety, was, through some inexplainable error or mistake, placed on
the books at one hundred and eight dollars per acre, or a total of fourteen
thousand and forty dollars, and was returned delinquent for the said
years eighteen hundred and ninety-one to eighteen hundred and ninety-
five, inclusive, on account of said excessive taxation, the annual income
from said lands being totally insufficient to pay said over-assessment;
now, therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the
clerk of the county court of Norfolk county be, and he is hereby, au-
thorized to receive the taxes on said land on the basis of eight dollars per
acre, instead of one hundred and eight dollars per acre, for the years so
returned delinquent; and upon the collection of same to mark said taxes
paid and to erase said land from the delinquent list.

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