                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

DISTRIBUTION OF PROCEEDS OF SALE (§ 43-39)

The proceeds of sale shall be applied to the expenses of such sale, including
the expense of notices, and to the satisfaction of the debt or charges, if any,
with legal interest against such baggage or other personal property. The
surplus, if any, shall be paid by the hotel to the owner of such baggage or
other personal property, upon written application filed with such hotel by the
owner within thirty days after such sale. If no such application is so filed,
then such hotel shall pay over such surplus to the State Treasurer, who shall
credit the same to the Literary Fund. Compliance by a hotel with the provisions
of this and the two preceding sections (§§ 43-37, 43-38) shall be a complete
bar and defense to any claim that may thereafter be made by anyone against such
hotel on account of such baggage or other personal property.
