Approved April 5, 1954
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. 7 That § 33-50.1 of the Code of Virginia be amended and reenacted as
follows:

§ 33-50.1. Maintenance, etc., of streets and roads in certain towns
from secondary funds.—The State Highway * Commissioner of Virginia is
hereby authorized and empowered, subject to the approval of the State
Highway Commission, upon request of the governing bodies of incor-
porated towns of less than three thousand five hundred inhabitants, accord-
ing to the last United States census, to select certain streets and roads in
such towns for maintenance, improvement, construction and reconstruction
from allocations available from secondary funds, not to exceed two miles
of streets or roads in such incorporated towns included in the secondary
system of highways, whether such two miles of streets or roads constitute
connecting links between roads in the secondary system in the several
counties, or between roads in the secondary system and roads in the
primary system, of the State highways or not.

The said Commissioner is hereby authorized and empowered, with
the approval of the State Highway Commission, in addition to the said
two miles to increase the mileage of streets and roads in such incorporated
towns annually, not to exceed, however, in any one year one-fourth mile,
exclusive of any mileage transferred from the primary system under the
provisions of § 33-27, or any mileage maintained by the State Highway
Department prior to its annexation by such incorporated town.
