Capt. Osborne, an infantry officer,

Virginia Road Damage
In Flood Estimated
Al Near 100000
Priorities to Delay
Replacement of Lost
Steel Bridge Spons
BY the Associated Press.

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 1s.-Brig.
Gen. James A. Anderson, State high
way commissioner, estimated TODAY
that the damage to Virginia high
ways from the floods of last week
would be about $1,0oo,0OO.
He said it would be weeks before
repairs could be made, particularly
because of difficulty in getting steel
to replace bridges.
Albemarle County was the hardest
hit In damage to bridges with total
OF 928 feet of steel spans washing
away. Three sizable steel bridges
were carried away in Shenandoah
County.
Only three of the States principal
highways remained blocked today.
These were: Route 2, between Rich
mond and Fredericksburg, which
was covered by feet of water at
the Mattaponi River; Route Is,
heavily-traveled North-South route,
still blocked south of Culpeper, and
Route 80, blocked between Harrison
burg and Gordonsville.
In addition, the State Highway
Department reported that at least
Is less-used highways were still i'm
passable, but it was expected most
OF them would be open some time
today.
Gen. Anderson said efforts would
be made to rush the repairs through
as quickly as possible on the vital
roads and that convict labor would
be transferred to work on the dam
aged sections.
The block on route Is south of
Culpeper was caused by washout of
a 300-foot fill at the Robinson River.
Route 33 across the Blue Ridge was
washed in some places to depth of
is feet.
The Albemarle County loss in
cluded II bridges on secondary
routes. The steel trusses destroyed
in Shenandoah included one on
route 720, another on route CTS, and
a third on route 648.
