Approved March 11, 1942

1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia, That section
twenty-seven hundred and twenty-four of the Code of Virginia, as hereto-
fore amended, be amended and re-enacted, as follows:

Section 2724. Audit and Allowance of claims Against Counties.—
It shall be the duty of the board of supervisors to receive and audit all
by the county school board, and, by resolution or recorded vote, to
approve and order warrants issued in settlement of those claims that are
found to be valid, provided that in counties governed under chapter one
hundred and nine-a of the Code the county manager may sign and issue
warrants under such conditions as the county board may prescribe. Every
warrant issued pursuant to the provisions of this section shall bear the
date on which the board of supervisors orders it to be issued and shall be
made payable on demand, signed by the clerk of the board of supervisors
or his deputy, countersigned by the chairman or acting chairman of the
board of supervisors, and recorded in the form and manner prescribed
by the auditor of public accounts.

The board may, in its discretion, destroy the papers constituting any
or all claims allowed and paid, at any time after five years from the date
of payment thereof.
