Chap. 479.—An ACT to provide for payment of compensation to Mrs. GH.
Stevens for services as assistant land assessor for the city of Norfolk.

{S B 121]
Approved March 27, 1922.

Whereas, Mrs. G. H. Stevens was appointed an assistant land
assessor for the city of Norfolk on the seventh day of June, nineteen
hundred and twenty and served as such for a period of one hundred
and fifty-three days, from the fifth day of June until the thirtieth
day of November, nineteen hundred and twenty ; and

Whereas, such assessors are entitled by law to compensation in
the sum of three dollars per day; and

Whereas, on application, as provided by law, to the auditor, for
payment of four hundred and fifty-nine dollars compensation for
service rendered by Mrs. G. H. Stevens, the said auditor refused to
pay the sum upon the ground that she did not qualify by taking
the oath of office and executing bond as required by law; 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 draw his warrant on the treasurer of Virginia in favor of
Mrs. G. H. Stevens for the sum of four hundred and fifty-nine
dollars, payable out of money in the treasury not otherwise appro-
priated, in full payment of her claim on account of services rendered
as said assistant land assessor.
