making appropriation for the completion of the
Virginia Central Railroad, from Charlottesville to
the terminus of the mountain section which the
State is constructing, and also for enlarging the
equipments and depot accommodations Of the road.
The amount appropriated is not definitely ascer-
tained inasmuch as it authorizes subscription by
the State in the ratio, to private subscriptions
already made, of three-ffths to twe-6fths. 1t is
probably about $230,O00.
A bill has also passed the Legislature authori-
zing State subscription of 100000 to the Dan
