Three Bills Offered To Help State Areas With Road, Street Problems
A trio of Virginia Senate bills aims to aid localities with road and street issues. Sponsored by Sen. E E Willey of Richmond and colleagues, one bill would let the State Highway Department take over road condemnation for cities upon request, another sets a $1000 per mile annual payment for secondary street upkeep, and a third lets smaller towns opt to draw state funds for street maintenance. Additional measures seek alcohol treatment reforms and hospital cooperation with Alcoholics Anonymous, while the House contemplates borrowing for capital projects and curbing the State Milk Commission.

Motorist Should Pay Extra For Reflectorized Plates
RICHMOND AP The House Roads Committee backed a bill to start Virginia’s reflectorized license plates in 1968 with the purchaser paying an extra 25 cents. Del. Arthur H. Richardson led the push, citing studies showing fewer night rear end collisions. The measure faces floor action, while related bills seek higher driving age, outside mirrors, shoulder harnesses, safer tires, and forest-fire rewards.
