Whereas the general assembly, by act approved March twenty-third,
nineteen hundred and fourteen entitled an act to appropriate the public
revenue for the two fiscal years ending, respectively, on the twenty-eighth
day of February, nineteen hundred and fifteen, and the twenty-ninth day
of February nineteen hundred and sixteen, made an appropriation for
four thousand dollars ($4,000) or so much thereof as may be necessary,
to the Confederate memorial (battle abbey) association, for walkway
around the confederate soldiers home and for curb and gutter work

Whereas there remains unexpended twelve hundred and fifty-six
dollars and twenty-six cents ($1,256.26) of said appropriation which by
operation of the law will lapse into the State treasury if not used prior
to March first, nineteen hundred and fifteen, and

Whereas it is desired by the general assembly of Virginia, That this
unexpended balance may be used for the original purpose for which it was
appropriated and for the further purpose of necessary ornamentation of
the grounds, so as to add to the attractiveness of the battle abbey as
a memorial, therefore;

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the
auditor of public accounts is authorized, at any time prior to March first,
nineteen hundred and sixteen to pay the sum of twelve hundred and fifty-
six dollars and twenty-six cents ($1,256.26), or so much thereof as may
be necessary out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated
for said walkway, curb, gutter work and ornamentation, upon the orders
of the president of said association and lieutenant-governor of Virginia.
