An Act to amend and reenact Chapter 294 of the Acts of Assembly of 1948,

of hunting certain wild animals in Craig County, to the collection and

[H 474]
Approved March 31, 1952
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That Chapter 294 of the Acts of Assembly of 1948, approved March
16, 1948, be amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 1. It shall be unlawful for any person to hunt bear or deer in the
county of Craig without first having obtained a special stamp as herein
provided, the fee therefor being one dollar annually. The stamp shall be
adhesively affixed to the back of the current season’s hunting license
issued such person who shall cancel the same with his initials in ink.
§ 2. The money received from the sale of such special stamp,
except as hereinafter provided, shall be paid to the county treasurer to
the credit of a special fund, and the net amount thereof, or so much as is
necessary, shall be used for the payment of damages to crops or livestock
by deer or bear in the county of Craig. Such payments shall be limited to
the net amount accruing in the special fund from the sales of such special
stamps in such county during the license year in which the damage
occurred and any surplus remaining at the end of such year shall remain
in such fund and be used for the conservation of wild life in the county
under the direction of the board of supervisors. Any person suffering such
damages shall report the same promptly to the game warden of the county,
whose duty it shall be to investigate the same at once. The claim for
damages shall be filed in duplicate under oath on forms furnished by the
clerk of the county. If the claimant and game warden agree as to the
amount of damage the game warden shall approve the claim and forward
it to the treasurer. If no such agreement is reached between them the
claim shall be submitted to the arbitration of three persons in the
customary manner and the award of the arbitrators shall be final and
binding.
§ 3. The special stamps herein provided for shall be obtained from
the clerk of the circuit court of the county, who shall be entitled to retain
the sum of ten cents for each such stamp issued by him. Any person
violating the provisions of this act shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and
upon conviction punished accordingly.
§ 4. This act shall not take effect except and until it shall have been
adopted and made effective by the governing body of the county.
