Chap. 353.—An ACT for the relief of Thomas F. Clemmer. [H B 366]
Approved March 29, 1934

Whereas, on the tenth day of November, nineteen hundred and
thirty-two, Thomas F. Clemmer was driving his Dodge coupe auto-
mobile from Marlinton, West Virginia, to his home at Middlebrook,
Virginia, and while driving on a public highway at a point near Moun-
tain Grove, in Bath county, Virginia, met a heavy truck which was
being driven by a servant and employee of the State Highway Com-
mission, the point of meeting being on a curve; and,

Whereas, when the cars had approached to within a few feet of
each other, the driver of the truck quickly and negligently turned the
same sharply to the right causing its rear end to swing outwardly and
sideswipe the said Clemmer’s automobile and practically demolished it,
without any fault whatever on his part, and to his damage at least the
sum of two hundred and fifty dollars, for which he should be compen-
sated by the State; now, therefore,

1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia, That there
is hereby appropriated to the said Thomas F. Clemmer out of any
moneys appropriated to the State Highway Commission for the con-
struction and maintenance of State highways, the sum of two hundred
and fifty dollars to compensate him for the damages sustained by him
by reason of the negligence of an employee of the State Highway Com-
mission the same to be paid to the said Thomas F. Clemmer by the
Treasurer on the warrant of the Comptroller.
