Whereas, in relocating a section of State Highway Route No.

said Route No. 10 for a strip or parcel of land belonging to A.
L. Lindsey and needed for the relocation of said section of Route
No. 10; and

Whereas, the Commonwealth of Virginia, acting by and
through the Department of Highways, entered into an agree-
ment with the said A. L. Lindsey to release, quitclaim, and con-
vey to him the said portion of the right of way of Route No. 10
in exchange for a conveyance by the said A. L. Lindsey to the
Commonwealth of Virginia of a strip or parcel of land needed
for the relocation of said section of Route No. 10, which agree-
ment is of record in the Clerk’s Office of the Circuit Court of
Chesterfield County, Virginia, in Deed Book 317, Page 84 to 92,

of Route No. 10 to the said A. L. Lindsey; and

__ Whereas, no person or persons resided along the said por-

vision and reservation for public access from the land of the

County Public Library, across the said portion of the right of
way of Route No. 10 to the said relocation of Route No. 10, was
provided for in the said resolution of the State Highway Com-
mission and in the said deed, therefore, it was not deemed neces-
sary that notice be given to the said owners as provided for by
Chapter 10, Acts of the General Assembly of Virginia, approved

er of Virginia and the said A. L. Lindsey that the said agree-
