Chap. 197.—An ACT for the relief of Emporia Furniture Company, Incorporated.
[H B 379]
Approved March 23, 1932
Whereas, on the twenty-second day of February, nineteen hundred
and twenty-nine, when a tractor with a road machine attached thereto,
owned by the State highway commission and operated by a negro who
was then the servant and employee of said commission, was passing
in front of the store of the Emporia Furniture Company, incorpor-
ated, in the town of North Emporia, Virginia, the said road machine,
by some means, became disconnected from said tractor and rolled
backward down a slight grade, and was about to run into an au-
tomobile then standing by the curb. The said operator jumped off
the tractor and endeavored to prevent a collision between the road
machine and said automobile, and at that time, the tractor rolled
backward and into the front of the store of the said Emporia Fur-
niture Company, incorporated, demolishing the window and damag-
ing certain furniture then being displayed therein, and resulting in
damages to said company to the amount of seventy-one dollars and
twenty-three cents; and
Whereas, no action will lie against the State highway commission
for the recovery of such damages; now, therefore, in consideration of
the premises,
1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That there
be, and is hereby, appropriated, the sum of seventy-one dollars and
twenty-three cents out of the funds in the State treasury appropriated
for the construction and re-construction of State highways and to
meet federal aid, to compensate the said Emporia Furniture Company,
incorporated, for the said damages, and that the comptroller issue his
warrant in its favor, on the treasurer of Virginia for said amount.
