Chap. 205.—An Act to appropriate $65,000.00, or so much thereof as may be
necessary, to pay the pensions of soldiers and widows of soldiers who
are on the pension list, and whose pensions have not been paid.

Approved March 15, 1910.

Whereas, there are on file in the office of the auditor of public ac-
counts approximately twenty-three hundred pension claims which cannot
be paid, as the appropriation of four hundred and twenty-five thousand
dollars made by the last general assembly has become exhausted before
the new claims are reached; and

Whereas, these claims amount approximately to sixty-five thousand
dollars; therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the sum
of sixty-five thousand dollars, or so much thereof as may be necessary.
be, and the same is hereby, appropriated out of any funds in the treas-
ury not otherwise appropriated, to become available at once, so that these
claims may be paid.

2. As many of these soldiers and widows are in destitute circum-
stances, this act is an emergency one, and shall be in force from its
passage.
