1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That
it shall be unlawful for any person to speed an automobile on any
part of the road between the corporate limits of the towns of Big

than is allowed within the limits of the said corporations, and the
said corporation authorities are hereby allowed to prosecute for such
offense under the same laws and regulations as those now adopted
or hereafter may be adopted in the said corporations. Provided,
however, that this act shall not in any manner interfere with the

county laws. And the said corporations of Big Stone Gap and
Appalachia shall have the right to impose a fine upon any person
who shall be guilty of speeding an automobile on the said road at
a speed greater than that allowed within the limits of their respec-
tive corporations, but the said violator shall not be liable to but
one of the said corporations for the same offense, the institution of
proceedings by one corporation for any such offense to debar the
institution of any other proceedings for the same offense by the
other corporation.
