1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia, That sections
forty-eight hundred and four and forty-eight hundred and five of the
Code of Virginia, as heretofore amended, be amended and re-enacted, as
follows:

Section 4804. Appointment of conservators of the peace at any
watering place, natural cavern, airport, university, college, manufacturing
plant or other place deemed essential to National or State defense ; juris-
diction.—The circuit court, or the judge thereof in vacation, of any county
in which any watering place, natural cavern, airport, or manufacturing
plant, or in which the University of Virginia, or any incorporated college,
or wherein any place, private or otherwise, which, in the discretion of the
court, is deemed essential to National and State defense, may, upon the
application of the proprietor of such watering place, natural cavern, air-
port, or manufacturing plant, or of the board of visitors of such university
or other constituted authority of such college, or upon application, formal
or informal, of anyone alleging that the place involved is essential to, and
should be specially policed in the interest of, National or State defense,
appoint one or more citizens of the Commonwealth conservator or con-
servators of the peace, who shall hold office for one year from the time
of appointment, and whose jurisdiction shall extend over the grounds
attached to such watering place, natural cavern, airport, manufacturing
plant, university, college, or other place, within such limits as shall be
prescribed in the order appointing any such conservator. Any such con-
servator shall, within the limits for which appointed, have the power and
jurisdiction of any other conservator of the peace.

Provided, however, that any such conservator whose jurisdiction is
limited to the grounds attached to an airport need not be a citizen of the
Commonwealth if the proprietors of such airport shall, before any such
conservator shall enter upon the duties of the office, enter into bond with
approved surety before the county clerk of the county wherein such air-
port is located in the penalty of one thousand dollars for each conservator
so appointed, with condition for the faithful discharge of his official duties.

Section 4805. Appointment of policemen; bond required.—The
court or judge mentioned in the preceding section may also appoint, for
the places mentioned in that section, one or more citizens as policeman or
policemen with the powers and duties of constables, except that they shall
not have authority to execute civil process. Before any such policeman as
is mentioned in this section shall enter upon the duties of. his office, he
shall enter into bond with approved security before the county clerk of
the county for which he is appointed in the penalty of one thousand dol-
lars, with condition for the faithful discharge of his official duties, pro-

vided, however, that any conservator or conservators or policeman or
policemen appointed under the provisions of section forty-eight hundred
and four or forty-eight hundred and five of this act shall pay any and
all fees or mileage allowances which they may receive for the performance
of such duties as they may perform under sections forty-eight hundred
and four or forty-eight hundred and five of this act into the treasury
of the county or city in which they are appointed. )
