MACHINERY, ETC., OWNED BY RETURNING COUNTY (§ 33.2-346)

The Commissioner of Highways shall, as promptly as practicable, make an
inventory and appraisal of all road machinery, equipment, teams, material, and
supplies on hand or belonging to the local highway authorities of any county
that returns to the secondary state highway system or any district thereof that
may be deemed by him suitable for work on the secondary state highway system and
shall file such inventory and appraisal with the Board. The local highway
authorities may, if they so elect, turn over to the Commonwealth such road
machinery, equipment, teams, material, and supplies at the appraised value
thereof, which shall be paid within two years out of funds available for
expenditure on highways in the secondary state highway system, or, if they so
prefer, the local highway authorities may retain or sell any of such property
otherwise or, if they so elect, may turn over to the Commissioner of Highways
all or any of such property for use upon the secondary state highway system
without reimbursement therefor. Any sums received by the local highway
authorities under the provisions of this section shall, so far as may be
necessary, be applied on account of obligations previously contracted for county
or district highway purposes and the balance, if any, for general county
purposes.
