Approved March 2, 1956

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. § 1. The governing body of any county, city or town may, subject
to written advice from the Governor that the gift is acceptable, convey
to the Commonwealth by deed of gift any land, either heretofore or here-
after acquired, which, in the discretion of such governing body, is not
required for the purposes of such county, city, or town, provided such
land is to be used for establishment, operation or maintenance of a branch
of a State-supported college or university. For the purpose of acquiring
such land the governing body may appropriate a portion of the general
funds of such county, city or town.

The governing body of any county, city, or town in which, or con-
tiguous to which, a branch of a State-supported college or university has
been established may appropriate a portion of the public funds thereof
for capital outlays in connection with, and the operation or maintenance
of, any such branch.
