Chap. 230.—An ACT for the relief of the Rappahannock Mining and Milling
Company, of Stafford county, Virginia.

Approved March 15, 1902.

Whereas, the property of the Rappahannock Mining and Milling Com.
pany, of Stafford county, was assessed for taxation by the assessmen
commencing in eighteen hundred and ninety-one for ten thousand dol.
lars; and,

Whereas, the owners and officers of said company and property wer
non-residents of Virginia at the time, and had no notice or knowledge o
any such assessment until 1t was too late to make an application to the
proper court for a decrease of and relief from said assessment; and,

Whereas, it appears that the said assessment was based upon a1
erroneous idea and estimate of the value of said property, it being of ne
value in producing qualities to its owners, and not worth over eight hun
dred dollars, for which sum it is now assessed for taxation; and,
Whereas, it appears that said property is delinquent for the taxes based
on said assessment of ten thousand dollars, and that said property has
been purchased by the State for the said delinquent taxes: therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the said
Rappahannock Mining and Milling Company, of Stafford county, shall
have the right to redeem said property by the payment to the proper au-
thority all State taxes and county levies, with all interest thereon and
redemption fees due thereon, based on an assessment of said property for
eight hundred dollars, and not ten thousand dollars, for said years for
which it has been delinquent.

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