Chap. 192.—An ACT to authorize the county school board of the county of
James City to use the funds known as the “Hickory Neck Academy Fund”
in the purchasing of a lot and construction of a high school building at
Toano, in said county.

Approved March 12, 1908.

Whereas, there is now under the management and control of the
county school board of the county of James City the principal sum of
nineteen hundred and twenty-eight dollars and eighty-four cents, com-
monly known as the “Hickory Neck academy fund,” upon which said
school board have for a number of years been collecting and disbursing
the accruing interest; and

Whereas, by reason of the destruction of the records of the said county
of James City, there is no definite information showing from what
source or under what restrictions the said funds were derived; and

Whereas, the said county school board has recently purchased a lot
at Toano, in said county, and is now constructing thereon a high school
building which requires all available funds; therefore

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the county
school board of the county of James City be, and it is hereby authorized
and empowered, to use the nineteen hundred and twenty-eight dollars
and eighty-four cents, known as the “Hickory Neck academy fund,” in
the purchase of a lot at Toano, in said county, and in erecting thereon
a high school building, to be used for the purpose of public education,
under such conditions and restrictions as are imposed by the general
laws of the State.

2. And it appearing that there is an immediate necessity for the use
of said funds, and therefore such an emergency exists as requires that
this act shall go into immediate effect, this act shall be in force from
its passage.
