Approved March 24, 1930

Whereas, by chapter two hundred and ninety-four of the acts of
nineteen hundred and twenty-eight the general assembly authorized
the board of directors of the Central State Hospital, at Petersburg, to
convey, without consideration, to the United States of America, for
the purpose of inclusion in the Petersburg national military park,
certain real estate described in said act; and

Whereas the directors executed a deed to the United States, which
was placed on record, but the United States has refused to accept
said deed on account of an error in the description of the property
authorized by said act to be conveyed; now, therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the
board of directors of the Central State Hospital, at Petersburg, be,
and it is hereby, authorized to convey, without consideration, to the
United States of America, for the purpose of inclusion in the Peters-

with covenant of special warranty, a certain part of the real estate
