1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the county
surveyor, or other person or persons, in possession of the books of entries
and surveys of the several counties of this State, shall, after reasonable
time, upon the passage of this act deliver said books of entries and sur-
vevs to the clerks of their respective counties, who shall keep said books
with the other books of record in his office: provided, that this act shall
not apply to counties where fireproof vaults, safes or buildings have been
provided for by the county for such surveys, in which event said records
shall be kept in such vaults or safe.

2. Any surveyor or other person or persons or clerks of any county
failing to comply with the provisions of this act shall be deemed guilty of
a misdemeanor and punished by a fine of not less than twenty-five dollars,
