Chap. 274.—An ACT for the relief of Jessie Tyson. [H B 36!
Approved March 21, 1928

Whereas on the fifteenth day of July, nineteen hundred and
twenty-seven, one John Danielson was engaged as an employee of
the State highway commission, in driving a motor truck belonging
to said commission and on its business, which motor truck was
not equipped with adequate brakes, and in the operation thereof,
the said truck went backward and fell from the north end of Fal-
mouth bridge, at Falmouth, Virginia, and struck the automobile
of Jessie Tyson, resulting in damage to said automobile in the
sum of two hundred and eighty dollars and seventy-five cents; and

Whereas the said Jessie Tyson has no method or means of ob-
taining redress for the damages so sustained by him, except through
the general assembly of Virginia; now, therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That
there be, and is hereby appropriated the sum of two hundred and
eighty dollars and seventy-five cents, out of any general funds of
the State, not otherwise appropriated, to compensate the said Jessie
Tyson for the damages so sustained by him as the result of the
negligent act of the State highway commission in permitting the
use by one of its employees, of one of its trucks not equipped with
adequate brakes, and that the comptroller issue his warrant on the
treasurer of Virginia in favor of the said Jessie Tyson, for the said
sum of two hundred and eighty dollars and seventy-five cents, to be
paid out of the fund provided for the construction and reconstruc-
tion of the State highway system.
