Chap. 233.—An ACT to close certain streets and alleys formerly laid off through
a plat of land now owned by the Riverview cemetery and other lands adjoining
now used as farming lands.

Approved March 15, 1902.

Whereas, in eighteen hundred and ninety a tract of land near Waynes-
boro, Augusta county, was platted into blocks and lots, with streets and
alleys running between same; and,

Whereas, the south side of said tract has never been built upon, but
has been sold in large blocks to a few parties as farming land, a portion
of it being used as a cemetery; and,

Whereas, the streets and alleys, as originally laid off, have never been
used as such, and are of no benefit to the public, but, on the contrary,
would greatly injure and damage the cemetery and other owners of the
property if opened: thercfore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That all streets
and alleys shown on a plat of land known as the West Waynesboro Land
Company’s plat, in Augusta county, lying within the Riverview cemetery
tract, and between and within blocks four, five, six, thirteen, fourteen,
fifteen, sixteen, twenty-three, and twenty-four, are hereby declared va-
cated, and the title to such ground shall vest in present owners of
abutting lots as decds from the land company provided for, except a
strip of land thirty feet wide on the west side of what was known as
Linden avenue, as far south as to lot eleven in block twenty-three, and a
strip thirty feet wide on the east side of what was known as Magnolia
avenue, as far south as Craig’s line, shall be left open as roads.

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