[(S 262]

Approved March 31, 1960

Whereas, one Charles Avery DeHart, a patient for many years at
Lynchburg Training School and Hospital at Colony, Virginia, was on
the twentieth day of August, nineteen hundred fifty-eight, killed by
accident when he became entangled in a coal conveyor while working as a
patient at said institution, and

Whereas, proper investigation of said accident disclosed no negligence
or fault on the part of any personnel of said institution or any other
person causing said accident, and

Whereas, Mr. Ray DeHart, brother of said Charles Avery DeHart,
incurred expense in the amount of seven hundred fifty dollars for the pay-
ment of funeral and related burial expenses for the said Charles Avery
DeHart, and

Whereas, it is proper that Mr. Ray DeHart be compensated for the
expenses so incurred by him; now, therefore,

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. § 1. The Commissioner of Mental Hygiene and Hospitals shall draw
a voucher upon the appropriation to such Department in favor of Mr. Ray
DeHart in the amount of three hundred seventy-five dollars, upon the
execution of a release by the latter of all claims against the Common-
wealth, and such voucher shall be converted to a check in favor of said
Ray DeHart in said amount in the manner provided by law.
