cral Assembly amounting to sSl5,-

tax collected December 90. 1928.
which. II is estimated. will amount
To Sl.S00.00p. This makes Il total Of
$2.ll5.o0o. The Federal aid bill has
been passed to give Virginia s945.

bill has not been passed by Con-

the appropriation bin is passed this
will give Virginia n totat or 10000
for new contracts on State highways
during 1929.
However. the mill tax Of 1929 will
not be collected until December 90.
The State Highway Commission can
not let contracts against this fund
until late in the fall OF 1872 so that
the State Highway Commission will
only have sl.250.O00 Of State and
Federal funds even II the Federal
