Chap. 535.—An ACT to amend and re-enact an act approved January 24, 1890.
authorizing the auditor of public accounts to issue duplicate warrants, so that
like authority shall be conferred on the second auditor.

Approved April 2, 1902.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That an act ap-
proved January twenty-fourth, eighteen hundred and ninety, authorizing
the auditor of public accounts to issue duplicate warrants be amended
and re-enacted so as to read as follows:

2. That upon satisfactory proof being presented to the auditor of pub-
lic accounts, or to the second auditor, that any warrant drawn by either
of such auditors or his predecessors upon the treasurer of the Common-
wealth has been lost or destroyed before having been paid, it shall be law-
ful for said auditor who issued, or from whose office was issued, the orig-
inal warrant to issue a duplicate therefor upon a bond being executed,
with such security as shall be approved by him, payable to the Common-
wealth, in the penalty of double the amount of such warrant, and con-
ditioned to save harmless the Commonwealth from any loss occasioned
by the issuing of such duplicate warrants: provided, that each duplicate
warrant so issued shall show upon its face that it is a duplicate, and that
no duplicate shall be issued for a warrant in excess of two hundred dol-
lars and within ninety days of the issuing of said original warrant.
3. This act shall be in force from its passage.
