                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

ESTABLISHMENT AND DISCONTINUANCE OF WAREHOUSES (§ 61.1-38)

Tobacco warehouses, which were public warehouses on the day before this Code
takes effect, shall continue to be such; and the several circuit and corporation
courts may hereafter authorize the erection of tobacco warehouses, or may
establish the same, as public warehouses within their respective counties and
cities; which warehouses shall be constructed, or shall have been constructed,
so as to keep safely, and guard against fire and weather, as far as practicable,
all tobacco stored therein, and shall be kept in good repair and at all times,
Sunday excepted, be open for receiving, storing, selling and delivering tobacco;
but the owner of any such warehouse shall have the right to discontinue the same
as a public warehouse, after having published a notice of his intention to do so
once a week for four successive weeks in some newspaper published in the county
or city, wherein such warehouse is situated, or if no newspaper be published
therein, after having posted such notice at the front door of the courthouse of
such county or city for four successive weeks.
