rators today informed the bituminous

walton they would submit to the COM

Crews. attorney for the operators, was
that they would not be bound by any
decision fixing coal prices beyond the
duration Of the Lever law. To fix
prices beyond the operation OF the
Lever act was challenged by Crews as
contrary to law.

FIRST meeting, when some thirty odd
OF us foregathered and organized this
association; and with pleasure, for /
have seen that number grow to many
hundreds, representing. as you do, the
varied and many interests OF this
grand old state.
To form a highway program for
Virginia, or to properly understand
The progress of highway work in the
state. 1t win be necessary TO divide the
subject into two heads:
First: What has already been &C
compiished. and its bearing on the flu
ture development OF our work.
Second: What is to be done and
how we are to accomplish the best re-
suits in The shortest time. Each or
these questions naturally resolves it,
self into sub-heads under which be-
iieve we can bring out the conditions
which actually exist, and then out
hrt The work which we hope to &C
coupl sh.
SUMMARY OF THE LAWS.
First, the state in 1906 embarked on
its highway program under its Win
rs-Lassiter act. using prison labor In
highway construction. In 1908 they
ENLARGED this program by appropriat-
ing money aid to be distributed to
counties which could not receive con-
vict labor. Under the acts of 1904
counties were allowed to issue bonds
for highway construction. This act
was further hroadened in 1910 by
permitting Magisteriat Districts to is
sue bonds for the same purpose. The
revenue derived from the automobile
license fees was added to the state
money aid to counties in 1910 and
later segregated to maintenance.

FUNDS AVAILABLE.
For the construction of this system
We will have available part OF the
funds from the national government
the revenue from the one will tax,
the revenue from the increase Of the
automobile tax. and special appro-
priations carried In the states bud
! get, and such prison labor as can be
| satisfactorily utilized on this work
From all of these sources we witt have
approximately ten millions of dollars
, covering the next two year period. In
addition to this. we will have for the
maintenance OF the state highway
system that part of the automobile
tax segregated to maintenance and
such prison labor as can be utilized
for maintence and resurfacing pur-
ly two millions OF dollars for the two
year period.
On the county system we have for
construction or maintenance $500
600 appropriated by the extra session
and $3l4,s44.31 OF old Appropriations.
, making total joint fund of $l,42s,-
$3.50 which we understand IL to be
further supplemented by the present
general assembly, which amounts will
also be available in 1921.
During the past year. we have con-
structed on the state highway sys-
tern, approximately 1876 miles Of road
| a part OF which was paid for entirely
by the war and navy departments. We
have under way at the present time
thirty three contracts. representing
mileage OF las miles. with plans and
estimates under way for thirty three
projects. representing mileage of
225 miles. The greater part of this
we hope to let to contract In the next
sixty to ninety days
On the county system we have con-
structed 2o6 miles. at the same time
maintaining some 2,300 miles of
highway.

ton program, which was issued by
this department early in November,
