Chap. 337.—An ACT to allow E. W. Mouring to build a wharf in the
York river, upon a site leased by him from the county of Gloucester.

(H. B. 423.)
Approved March 20, 1916.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That
E. W. Mouring, be and he is, hereby, authorized to erect a wharf
in the York river, just below Gloucester Point, on the north
bank, upon a site leased by him from the county of Gloucester;
provided, the same shall not interfere with navigation in said
river, and be subject to all the laws of the State governing
wharves and piers erected in the waters of the Commonwealth ;
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or repealed, as may be deemed proper.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.
