Chap. 398.—An ACT for the relief of O. G. Jackson. [H B 390]
Approved March 30, 1934

Whereas, on the tenth day of June, nineteen hundred and thirty-
two, O. G. Jackson was driving his Oldsmobile sedan on State high-
way route number ten from Petersburg, Virginia, to Suffolk, Vir-
ginia, and while so driving on said highway at a point near Cabin Point
and at a rate of speed not in excess of forty-five miles per hour, one
Barnes, then an employee of the State Highway Department of Vir-
ginia and driving a truck for said highway department, carelessly and
negligently drove said truck at a high rate of speed from a side road
on the said main highway route number ten and directly in front of
the said Jackson, thus forcing the said O. G. Jackson to drive his car
off the highway to avoid striking said truck and in so doing his car
struck a tree demolishing the car and severely injuring both himself
and his wife; and,

Whereas, as a result of said accident the said O. G. Jackson has
been caused to expend large sums of money for medical and other
expenses for himself and his wife, and has suffered the loss of his
automobile, all of which amounts to the sum of sixteen hundred and
sixty-five dollars and fourteen cents ($1,665.14) ; and,

Whereas, the said O. G. Jackson has no means of obtaining payment
for the damages so sustained by him except by enactment of the
General Assembly of Virginia; now, therefore,

I. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia, That there
be, and is hereby appropriated the sum of sixteen hundred and sixty-
five dollars and fourteen cents ($1,665.14) payable out of the general
funds of the State Highway Department, to compensate the said O. G.
Jackson for the damages so suffered, and that the Comptroller be, and
is hereby, directed to issue his warrant in favor of O. G. Jackson, on
the Treasurer of Virginia for the said sum of sixteen hundred and
sixty-five dollars and fourteen cents ($1,665.14).
