Arterial Highway Authority Proposed in Virginia
A Virginia arterial highway system authority would be created to finance and operate arterial roads, bypassing bond restrictions. The plan, modeled after Bay Bridge tunnels, would empower the new body to issue revenue bonds, condemn land, and connect major cities by 1975 with four lanes. The bill was introduced by Sen. Robert F. Baldwin with other sponsors.

Anti necking bill heads for floor action in House
General Assembly briefs from Richmond report a bill by Del. Junie Bradshaw would make engaging in physical contact with the opposite sex while operating a moving vehicle a misdemeanor. Police could distinguish overt from accidental contact, proponents say. Other measures include speeding over 80 mph as reckless driving, raising auto accident damage reports from 50 to 100 dollars, and creation of industrial development authorities in several localities. The House also sent a petit vs grand larceny threshold up to 100 dollars and barred Virginia registered tires not meeting standards.
