CHAP. 253.—An ACT for the relief of P. H. Carper. (H. B. 291.)
Approved March 16, 1916.

Whereas, during the fatal illness of the late Thomas Bethel,
janitor of the State library building, P. H. Carper was employed
as substitute by the register of the land office, and

Whereas, there is no method by which the said P. H. Carper
may be compensated for his service as such substitute, except
by an appropriation; therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That
the sum of one hundred dollars is hereby appropriated out of
any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated to com-
pensate the said P. H. Carper for his services as substitute jani-
tor at the State library building for two months at the rate of
fifty dollars per month.
