Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That the Code of Virginia be amended by adding a section numbered
22-43.4 as follows:

§ 22-43.4. The special school district for the town of Leesburg of
Loudoun County which was heretofore created and preserved under the
provisions of § 22-43, is hereby abolished as of September one, nineteen
hundred fifty-two. Such separate school district both within and without
the town shall be and become a part of the county school system and
shall be managed, operated and controlled by the county school board
as a part of such system. All school property, real and personal, the title
to which is held by the school board of such town shall vest by operation
of law in the county school board for school purposes. Any balance of
school funds in such separate district shall be transferred to the county
school board and the county school board shall provide for the assump-
tion of all obligations, including any bonded indebtedness, of such separate
school district. The area heretofore in the special school district for
the town of Leesburg shall be merged with Leesburg magisterial district.

The terms of office of the member of the county school board from
the town of Leesburg and the Leesburg magisterial district shall terminate
upon the abolition of the special school district. At least thirty days prior
thereto the school trustee electoral board for the county shall appoint
a member of the school board to represent the Leesburg magisterial dis-
trict for a term ending July one, nineteen hundred fifty-four.
