Virginia, to contribute to defraying the costs of keeping in order the dam and
bridge in said county known as Barham’s mill-dam and bridge.

Approved March 25, 1902.

Whereas, R. F. Barham, of Southampton county, Virginia, is the
owner and occupier of a certain mill-dam and bridge in the said county,
known as Barham’s mill-dam and bridge, over and across which the said
county has run and is operating one of the public roads of the said
county ; and,

Whereas, by so doing the cost of repairing and keeping the same up
has been greatly increased : therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the owner
and occupier of the said dam and bridge shall henceforth keep a just and
correct account of all the annual expenses incurred in keeping the afore-
said dam and bridge in said county, known as Barham’s mill-dam and
bridge, in order, and shall submit the same at the end of each current
year, properly sworn to, to the board of supervisors of Southampton
county, and when the said claim shall have been audited and approved
by the said board of supervisors, and approved by the judge of the
county court, or the judge of the circuit court of said county, then the
expense for such work and repairs shall be equally divided between the
said county and the owner and occupier of said dam and bridge.

2. This act shall be in force from July first, nineteen hundred and two.
