Virginia S Surplus
May Be 0nIy4Mi||
louderback Declares
Ey the Associated Press.

/
LURAY, Va, Sept. 6.-Delegate
Charles C. Louderback of Page and
Warren Counties, chairman of the
House Appropriations Committee
said yesterday that the States gen.
eral fund surplus might be reduced
to 100000 by June 80, 1946, and
made public a letter from j. H. Brad
ford, director of the budget, which
termed as misleading recent news
paper articles placing Virginia S sur
plus fund at $4,000, 900.
Mr.. Bradford said the $50, 600, 600
| figure, said to have been in the gen.
eral fund, included money already
appropriated for Improvements and
deferred maintenance and that 1t
would not be available for further
appropriations.
Mr.. Louderback. who also serves
on the Governors Advisory Board
on the Budget. stated that two
years ago we had requests for nearly
$40 900, 900 more funds from various
institutions and agencies of the
State than was estimated in sight
Results now show that the fiscal
officers did underestimate the prob
able income during the present two
years.
II would much prefer to under
estimate the probable income of the
State and have surplus, than over
estimate, and find the State with a
deficit" he added, continuing, when
there is little excess money in the
treasury any one can think up a
score or more of things to do with
it-but that dosn't necessarily mean
it is good business"
Mr.. Bradfords letter to Mr.. Loud
erback stated, 1--WE do not have S2O,-
100000 available for general fund
appropriations. much less $50. 0O0,-
900. The controller reported as of
June 80, l945, a surplus of s16,-
181, 0O0."
In his letter. Mr.. Bradford said:
las you probably know, we have
been unable to spend hardly any
State money for additions and bet
terments for our State institutions
since the war began: highway work
has also been materially curtailed.
AS a result. money appropriated
for much-needed Improvements at
State institutions and for highway
work has accumulated in the State
treasury. This money, which repre-
sents deferred maintenance, addi-
tions and betterments, accounts in
large measure for the alleged
big surplus.
While it. is true that our. reye-
nues for the present fiscal year will
probably exceed the estimates by
several million dollars, we no doubt
will have fairly good surplus on
June 80 next, but not as much as
we will need to meet all the de-
mands of the general fund, in view
of the prospective falling off in
revenue as result of the tapering
off of the war boom. We will prob
ably be able to balance the budget
for the next biennium. but it Is
apparent that strict economy must
be practiced in the years imme-
diately ahead of U.S."

ing a scanty meat diet during the

Nov we have given them four

Appomattox Opens
Probe Of Primary;
Fenwick Not Present
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
APPOMATTOX, Va, Sept. 6.-An
Appomattox County grand jury
called to investigate primary voting
Irregularities prepared to begin its
hearings here today. The hearing is
an outgrowth of charges by Charles
r. Fenwick, Arlington, Democratic
nominee for lieutenant governor,
that Irregularities had favored L.
Preston Collins, his primary oppon-
ent.
Appomattox was the first of the
four counties most recently involved
in the lieutenant governorship con-
test to move for a grand jury inves-
tigation Of the alleged voting frauds,
Mr.. Collins. who lost the nominal
ton by 572 votes out of 1875 900, first
charged fraud in Wise County. Mr.
Fenwick in a countercharge de-
clared there were irregularities fav-
oring Mr.. Collins in Appomattox,
Cumberland. Lunenburg and Prince
Edward Counties, all of which went
into the Collins column.
Fenwick Going to Wise.
Mr., Fenwick refused to appear at
the Appomattox hearing because OF
the Wise hearing. In a letter to
Commemorative Attorney A. Laurie
Pitts, jr, in charge of the investiga-
ton, he said, Il want you to know
that desire to cooperate In every
way and will be most happy to ap-
pear at a later date, but l have been
served with the notice OF taking dep
ositions by Mr.. Collins in Wise on
Friday. September 7. Since I have
no personal knowledge of the alleged
irregularities and others will be
present, having in their possession
the data on which the Irregularities
were based, my presence will prob
ably not be needed"
Meanwhile, at Farmville, William
M. Smith, commemorative attorney
Of Cumberland County, said. There
will probably be a grand jury in
vestigation of fraud alleged by Mr.
Fenwick to have taken place in
Cumberland"
Mr.. Smith said, due to i'll health,
I am requesting Frank N Watkins,
Commemorative attorney of Prince
Edward County, to take my place in
the investigation
Byrd Explains Stand.
Senator Byrd, Democrat, OF Vir-
ginia said in Washington that he
favors legislation to make Virginia S
existing election laws adequate to
prevent fraud or punish the guilty.
He said that. recent statement
made by State Senator S.. Floyd
Landreth, Republican candidate for
Governor, has been construed as
indicating I did not favor any new
State legislation that may be needed
to prevent election frauds or to ap-
prehend and punish those guilty.
IF in any particular existing cleo
ton laws are not adequate to pre-
vent frauds or punish the guilty,
favor any new legislation that may
be necessary. I trust that the State
commission now considering changes
in the election laws will investigate
this question carefully and report
thereon to the next General As
Sembly."

cision may invalidate millions OF

payable to churches. universities
and relatives of remote degree OF

p tice Edward w. Hudgins with Chief

7 Severn River
Sites Proposed
For Ferry Route
PIons Would EstobIist
| Direct Line of Trovel
From Washington
BY the Associated Press,


ANNAPOLIS, Md, Sept. 6.-Two
main locations are proposed in the
Annapolis regional highway plan for
establishing direct line of travel
between Washington areas north
west of Annapolis, and the Sandy
Point terminal of the Chesapeake
Bay ferry system, the report of the
State Roads Commission released by
Gov. O'Conor disclosed.
Two crossings of the Severn River
selected for further study were the
North Bridge site, approximately
0.6 miles north of the existing Bal
timore g. Annapolis Railroad bridge.
and the South Bridge site, about $50
feet upstream from the railroad
bridge. The North Bridge site was
favored in the report.
The highway connection to the
North Bridge site would begin at
the Cedar Park interchange, extend
across the Weems Creek through
undeveloped land and cross the
Severn River to connect with the
Richie highway at Winchester by
means OF directional interchange.
South Bridge Route.
The corresponding highway to the
South Bridge site also would begin
at the Cedar Park interchange,
extend north of the Naval Acad-
emy's stadium property through
West Annapolis and across the
Severn River to connect with the
Richie highway at Winchester.
The report estimated that the
entire project using the North
Bridge site for the crossing OF the
Severn would cost 1854 65, based
on full development of the Cedar
Park, Parole and Winchester inter-
changes as directional interchanges.
These are designed to provide for
the separation of highway grades
at all points Of cross movement of
traffic included within the inter-
change areas.
Based on the use of the South
Bridge site. it was estimated that
the project, complete with fully
developed traffic interchanges, in
Guiding grade separations, would
cost $9,178,530.
Naval Academy Expansion.
Among problems considered by the
commission in its study was the pro-
posed extensive expansion of the
Naval Academy, including construc-
ton in Northwest Annapolis of an
athletic stadium with an ultimate
capacity of 10000 spectators.
The South Bridge site would pass
through the middle of property indi-
Gated by Admiral Ben Moreell, chief
of the Navy Bureau of Yards and
Docks, as contemplated for acquisi-
ton by the Navy Department in
order to provide parking space in
connection with the proposed stad-
ium.
The North, Bridge site would be
the least costly OF the two projects
the commission stated, causing less
disturbance Of developed property
and invading no property now owned
or anticipated to be owned by the
Naval Academy in development OF
Its expansion program.
