Chap. 132.—An ACT authorizing boards of supervisors of counties, and coun-
cils, or other governing bodies, of cities, or incorporated towns to make
appropriations for memorials to soldiers, sailors and marines who lost
their lives in the late war between the United States and Germany and

her allies. [H B 18]
Approved Match 7, 1922.

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia That the
board of supervisors of any county, or the council, or other govern-
ing body, of any city, may, in its discretion, appropriate for the erec-
tion of memorials to soldiers, sailors and marines who lost their
lives in the late war between the United States and Germany and
her allies, such sums as in its judgment may be expedient, provided,
however, that where the amount to be so expended exceeds $500.00
the expenditure shall be only upon a petition of one-fourth of the
qualified voters of such county, or incorporated town, or upon a peti-
tion of one-tenth of the qualified voters of such city; provided,
however, that this act shall not be construed to restrict the powers of
any city whose existing charter permits the making of such appropria-
tions independently hereof.
