An Act to amend and reenact § 33-113.2, as amended, of the Code of Vir-
ginia, relating to payments by the State with respect to streets which
are not a part or extension of the State highway primary system.
[S 182]
Approved March 30, 1962
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 33-113.2, as amended, of the Code of Virginia be amended and
reenacted as follows:
§ 33-113.2. The State Highway Commission is authorized and em-
powered to allocate and pay to all cities and incorporated towns having
a population of thirty-five hundred or more according to the last United
States census for which population figures are available, and to all towns
situated within one mile of the corporate limits of a city of the first class
and having a population in excess of thirty-five hundred inhabitants accord-
ang to the census of nineteen hundred and thirty, for maintenance, im-
provement, construction or reconstruction of streets which are not a
part or an extension of the State highway primary system in the cor-
porate limits of such cities and incorporated towns, the sum of three
hundred dollars per mile annually except as hereinafter provided, if such
streets and roads or portions thereof be maintained up to a standard
satisfactory to the Commission. However, with the exception of streets
or portions thereof located within territory annexed or incorporated since
July one, nineteen hundred fifty, or hereafter, which streets a portion
thereof (1) have been paved and have constituted parts of the secondary
system of State highways prior to such annexation or incorporation, or
(2) have constituted parts of the secondary system of State highways
prior to such annexation or incorporation and are paved to a minimum
width of sixteen feet subsequent to such annexation or incorporation and
with the further exception of streets or portions thereof which have pre-
viously been maintained under the provisions of § 38-50.1 or § 38-50.4, or
which have been eligible for maintenance payments under § 33-50.2, no
such allocation of payments shall be made by the Commission to any such
city or incorporated town unless the portion of the street for which said
allocation is made has an unrestricted right of way width of not less than
thirty feet and a hard surface width of not less than sixteen feet; and
any such street established after July first, nineteen hundred fifty, shall
have an unrestricted right of way width of not less than fifty feet and
a hard surface width of not less than thirty feet; provided, however, that
cul de sacs may have an unrestricted right of way width of not less than
forty feet and a turn around that meets State Highway Commission stand-
ards.
Allocations and payments made pursuant to this section to such cities
and incorporated towns, shall be paid by the Commission to the governing
bodies of such cities and towns from funds available for maintenance
and construction of the State highway primary system; provided, how-
ever, that the fund from which any such allocations are made shall not
be constituted to any extent of funds, reversions, transfers, allocations
or appropriations available for the secondary system of highways, to
the end that all allocations under this section shall be paid wholly from
funds available for the primary system of highways and no part of such
funds shall be derived at the expense of the secondary highway funds
or reduce the ratio of the secondary highway funds to all funds available
for all highway purposes below such ratio for the year ending June
thirtieth nineteen hundred forty-seven. Provided, however, that the amount
of three hundred dollars herein provided to be allocated annually for
maintenance, improvement, construction and reconstruction of streets
in such cities and incorporated towns shall increase or decrease annually
in the same ratio that such available funds from the State highway pri-
mary system for all highway purposes shall increase or decrease relative
to the fiscal year ending June thirtieth, nineteen hundred forty-eight.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this section, any tincor-
porated town which shows to the Commissioner by satisfactory evidence
that its population has increased to thirty-five hundred inhabitants, or
more, since the last preceding United States census, shall be included in
the provisions of this section.
Plans and specifications for construction and reconstruction shall be
approved by the State Highway Commissioner.
The fund allocated by the Commission shall be paid in equal sums
in each quarter of the fiscal year, and no payment shall be made without
the approval of the Commission.
The city or town receiving this fund will be required to make quarterly
reports accounting for all expenditures and certifying that none of the
money received has been expended for other than the maintenance, im-
provement, construction or reconstruction of the streets in such city
or town.
