require certain reports to be furnished to the General Assembly.

[H 98]

Approved. April 3, 1952

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. § 1. The State Highway Commissioner is hereby directed to cause
to be made, during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1953, in each of the
counties which have withdrawn from the secondary system of State high-
ways and have not thereafter elected to reenter the system pursuant to
§ 33-53, such counts of traffic on the highways therein which are not a
part of the primary system of State highways as will enable a comparison
of the volume of traffic on such highways with the volume of traffic on
the secondary system of State highways within the several counties of
the State.

§ 2. The Commissioner is authorized to expend for such purpose any
funds which may be made available for traffic surveys by the Federal gov-
ernment: the remainder of the cost of each such survey shall be paid one-
half from motor fuel tax funds distributed under §§ 33-49.1 and 33-49.2
to the respective counties indicated therein and one-half from funds
available for expenditure upon the secondary system of State highways.

§ 8. When the apportionment of motor fuel tax funds among the
several counties within the secondary system of State highways is made
for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1953, the Commissioner shall prepare
an estimate to show what the proportionate share for each county of the
total funds available for expenditure on secondary highways within the
entire State would be if such funds were to be apportioned among all of
the counties of the State according to the factors then in use to determine
allocations among the several counties within the secondary system. Such
estimate shall be furnished to the General Assembly at least sixty days
prior to its regular session beginning in January, 1954.

2. This act shall expire June thirty, nineteen hundred fifty-four.
