1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That para-
graph fourth of section thirty-one hundred and ninety-five of the Code
of Virginia be, and the same is hereby, amended and re-enacted so as
to read as follows: |

Fourth. Prohibition against use of substances injurious to fish.—
To use fish berries, lime, or giant powder, dynamite, or any other sub-
stance for the destruction of fish, or knowingly or wilfully cast any
sawdust, noxious substance or matter into any water course of this
State above tidewater, by which fish therein or fish spawn may be
destroyed, or to place or to allow to pass into the water courses of the
State any lime, gas, tar or refuse of gas works, injurious to fish; pro-
vided, however, that Montgomery and Franklin counties are exempt
from the prohibition of permitting sawdust to be put in her water
courses when a saw mill is run in connection with a grain mill, and
permanently located in a stream of water used as power toward the
operation of the said mill, and provided, further, that the sawdust
pollution from such operation is not sufficient to destroy fish or fish
spawn.
