1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia, That if,
upon the sale of any lands belonging to the Commonwealth or of any
products of any such lands, the State Commission on Conservation and
Development shall determine that the Commonwealth has derived a
direct profit as the result of work on the lands sold, or on lands the
products of which are sold, done or to be done under any project
carried on pursuant to an act of the Congress of the United States
entitled “an act for the relief of unemployment through the performance
of useful public work, and for other purposes,’ approved March thirty-
first, nineteen hundred and thirty-three, one-half of such profit from
the sale of such lands or one-half the proceeds of the sale of such
products, or such lesser amount as may be sufficient, shall be and is
hereby appropriated to be applied to or towards reimbursing the United
States government for moneys expended by it under such act for the
work so done, to the extent and at the rate of one dollar per man per
day for the time spent in such work, provided such reimbursement shall
not exceed the amount of three dollars per acre. The said commission
shall fix and determine the amount of such profit or proceeds. Upon
the completion of the sale, the said commission shall determine the
amount due the United States government; the amount so determined
within the limitations hereinabove set forth shall be paid to the said
United States government by the Treasurer on warrants of the Comp-

troller, signed by the chairman of the said commission and approved
by the Governor.

The provisions of this act shall not apply to any lands acquired

may be received from the sale of any such lands or products there-
from; this act shall also not apply to any moneys which may be re-
ceived by the Commonwealth from admission charges, concessions,
rentals, easements and franchises, or from any of such sources, regard-
