Chap. 27.—An ACT to validate an issue of bonds made by the authorities of
Orange county for macadamizing or otherwise permanently improving the
public roads and bridges of Madison district in said county, pursuant to an
election held in said district on the 9th day of February, 1907.

Approved February 8, 1908.

Whereas, bonds to the amount of twenty-five thousand dollars have
been issued by the proper authorities of Orange county, Virginia, pur-
suant to an election held in Madison magisterial district of said county
on the said ninth day of February, nineteen hundred and seven, for the
purpose of providing money for the macadamizing or otherwise perma-
nently improving the roads and bridges of said district; and

Whereas, a majority of the freeholders of said district who were then
qualified voters thereof, voted at said election, and a majority of the
qualified voters of said county, and a majority of the qualified voters
of said district, who voted at said election, voted in favor of the said
bond issue of twenty-five thousand dollars then proposed to be made for
the purposes aforesaid ; and

Whereas, said bonds have been since issued, and a question has arisen
as to the validity of said issue of bonds because of some ambiguity in
section twenty-one of the act approved March eighth, nineteen hundred
and six, published as chapter one hundred and seven of the acts of the
general assembly of Virginia of nineteen hundred and six; and

Whereas, the money arising from the sale of said bonds has not been
yet expended:

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the bonds
of the issue of twenty-five thousand dollars, made by the authorities of
the county of Orange for the macadamizing or otherwise permanent im-
provement of the roads and bridges of Madison magisterial district
thereof described in the preamble to this act, are hereby made and de-
clared to be legal and valid, and provision shall be made for the payment
of the interest and principal of said bonds as the same shall become
due and payable by the terms thereof, as provided by chapter one hundred
and seven of the acts of the general assembly of Virginia, session of
nineteen hundred and six.

2. Inasmuch as it is important that any question as to the validity of
said bonds shall be promptly removed so that the money arising from
their sale may be used for the macadamizing or otherwise improvement
of the roads of said district, an emergency exists for the passage of this
act. and it will be in force from its passage.
