stances in connection with any such bond issue.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

provide for the issuance of bonds for the purpose of purchasing, erecting,
building, rebuilding, adding to, equipping or otherwise improving any
schools, sewerage or drainage systems, or parks and playground areas in
any such county, be, and the same are hereby, validated, ratified, approved
and confirmed notwithstanding any defect or irregularity in the calling
or holding of such elections, or in the petitions or resolutions presented to
the circuit court praying for the holding of such elections, or in the pro-
ceedings in the circuit court, or in the form of the ballots used at such
elections, or in the circuit courts’ orders ordering or confirming such
elections and notwithstanding the failure to enter any of such orders of
the circuit court, and any bonds heretofore or hereafter issued pursuant
thereto, be, and the same are hereby declared to be the valid and binding
obligations of the county authorizing the issuance of such bonds.

§ 2. The provisions of § 1 of this Act shall be applicable, notwith-
standing the validity or invalidity of the qualifications of any member or
members of the governing body participating in the bond issue.

§ 3. The provisions of §§ 1 and 2 of this act shall be construed to
include every contract or security made or obtained in connection with
such bond issue by any governing body through its members acting in
their official capacity under color of office, notwithstanding the validity or
invalidity of the qualifications of any member or members of the governing

ody.

§ 4. All judgments given and ‘all acts executed or done by any
person by authority or color of any office or post, or the deputation thereof,
in connection with such bond issue before his removal from office, shall
be as valid as they would be if such person had not been removed from
office.

2. An emergency exists and this act is in force from its passage.
