This committee also endorsed an appropria-

most likely be expended upon that stretch OF
road lying just beyond Seven Pines and con
meeting with the recently completed Peninsula
highway between Richmond and Newport News
These are three excellent recommendations
and there should be no opposition TO their
passage.
