CHAP. 317.—An ACT to allow C. H. Mathews, his successor or assigns,
to build a wharf on the York river, near Croaker, upon a site leased
by him from the county of James City. (H. B. 496.)

Approved March 20, 1916.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That
C. H. Mathews, his successor or assigns, be, and he is, hereby
authorized to erect a wharf in the York river, near Croaker, on
the south bank, upon a site leased by him from the county of
James City; provided, the same shall not interfere with naviga-
tion in said river, and be subject to all the laws of the State
governing wharves and piers erected in tne waters of the Com-
monwealth; and provided, further, that this privilege granted
shall at all times be under the control of the general assembly.
and amended or repealed, as may be deemed proper.

2. By reason of the fact that the business for which this
wharf is intended, cannot be carried on until its erection, which
has been begun, is completed, an emergency is declared to exist.
and this law shall go into effect from its passage.
