(1) Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That section
one of an act of the general assembly of Virginia, approved January
thirtieth, nineteen hundred and twelve, entitled an act to amend and
re-enact section one of an act approved March fourteenth, nineteen hun-
dred and eight, entitled an act to authorize supervisors of each county
and the council of each city to make a special levy for the support and
maintenance of maimed and disabled Confederate soldiers, or the needy
and indigent widows of Confederate soldiers in their respective counties
and cities, be amended and re-enacted so as to read as follows:

Section 1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That
it shall be lawful, and authority is especially given to the board of
supervisors of each county, and the council of each city in the State, to
make an annual levy, at their discretion, on the real and personal prop-
erty in said county and city of not more than ten cents on every hundred
dollars worth of said property, to be collected and set apart and known
as pension fund, and to be used only in caring for, supporting, and help-
ing the maimed, disabled, affected, and indigent Confederate soldiers
living in said county or city, or the needy and indigent widows of Con-
federate soldiers, who shall receive the care, support and help from said
pension fund, as provided for in this act.

(2) By reason of the fact that many maimed and disabled Confed-
erate soldiers who are indigent and needy cannot otherwise receive pen-
sions from their respective counties or cities, an emergency is declared
to exist, and this act shall be in force from its passage.
