CHAP. 65.—An ACT to pay the actual traveling expenses and hotel bills
of the circuit judges while holding courts in all the counties in their
circuits except in the counties in which the judges reside in the county
seats. [H B 41]

Approved September 9, 1919.

Whereas, the general assembly of nineteen hundred and eigh-
teen of Virginia made an appropriation to pay the actual travel-
ing expenses and hotel bills of the circuit judges while holding
courts in the counties of their circuits other than in the counties
in which the judges reside; and whereas some of the circuit
judges did not and do not reside in the county seats of the coun-
ties in which they reside and had and have to pay traveling ex-
penses and hotel bills while holding courts in the counties in
which they reside; now, therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That
the auditor of public accounts be, and he is hereby, authorized
and directed to pay the actual traveling expenses and hotel bills
of all the circuit judges while holding courts in their circuits,
including the courts of the counties in which the judges reside,
provided the judges do not reside in the county seats of the coun-
ties in which the judges reside. And this act shall be retroactive
and include the actual traveling expenses and hotel bills of all
the circuit judges while holding their courts since February,
nineteen hundred and eighteen;; and the auditor of public ac-
counts is authorized and directed to pay the actual traveling ex-
penses and hotel bills of the circuit judges out of the funds in
the State treasury not otherwise appropriated when the judges
shall present for payment accounts as now provided by law.
