Announces Decision Affecting
Construction in Counties.
BY LESTER N. INSKEEP,


ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE, Va,

day by the Virginia State Highway

adopted is that the State will pay the
wage scale prevailing in the various

which United States Government funds
are used.

will insure a much higher scale than
exists at the present time. A study Of
the labor situation by Virginia Depart
ment of Labor has revealed, it was said,
that the prevailing scale for farm
hands is between rs cents and 81 per
diem.

necessary to transfer $4,000 from the
county fund to the road fund in order
to meet the road pay roll and bills for
road materials. This left in the gen.
eral fund about $4,000 and in the road
fund about $1,000, or total of about
$4,000 in the combined funds, the
statement said.
Continuing, the statement declares
yesterdays disbursements for road
