Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That the Code of 1950 be amended by adding three sec-
tions numbered respectively 33-48.1, 33-49.1 and 33-49.2 as
ollows:

§ 33-48.1. Apportionment of motor fuel tax funds among
the counties in the secondary system—An amount equal to the
aggregate of the motor fuel tax apportionment among the several
counties of the state for the calendar year nineteen hundred
thirty-one, including the additional amount for equalization as
provided by law for that year, shall be allocated for expenditure
and expended in the maintenance and improvement, including
construction and reconstruction, of the secondary system of State
highways in the several counties of the State, upon the same
basis of apportionment upon which the motor fuel tax was appor-
tioned among the several counties of the State for the calendar
year nineteen hundred thirty-one, including such equalization.

In addition to the sum of twelve million and five hundred
thousand dollars apropriated in item three hundred of chapter
388 of the Acts of 1946 for maintenance and improvement, in-
cluding construction and reconstruction, of the secondary system
of State highways, an additional sum of two million and five
hundred thousand dollars of the revenue produced by the increase
of one cent per gallon on motor fuel, imposed by chapter 196 of
the Acts of 1946, also shall be expended in each fiscal year on the
roads in the secondary system.

§ 33-49.1. Motor fuel tax funds for counttes withdrawn
from secondary system; local levies, etc..—Any county which
has withdrawn its roads from the secondary system of State
Highways under the provisions of § 11 of chapter 415 of the Acts
of 1932, aproved March 31, 1932, and which has not elected to
return as provided in § 33-53, shall continue to receive from the
motor fuel tax, for expenditure as provided by law, the amount
of motor fuel tax to which it was entitled for the calendar year
nineteen hundred thirty-one, including the normal increase, if
any, but not including any additional amount for equalization as
provided for that year. Such county shall continue with county
and district road levies and shall otherwise continue to operate as
provided by law for counties so withdrawn from the secondary
system.

§ 33-49.2. Counties of Henrico, Arlington and Warwick
to share in one cent motor fuel tax increase of 1946.—The coun-
ties of Henrico, Arlington and Warwick shall also receive their
proportionate share of the revenue produced by the increase of
one cent per gallon on motor fuel imposed by chapter 196 of the
Acts of 1946, upon the same basis of apportionment upon which
the motor fuel tax was apportioned among the several counties
of the State for the calendar year nineteen hundred thirty-one.

passage.
