Gov. Almond's Last Address to GA - Comments About Transportation and Taxes
(WDBJ Television, Roanoke, VA)

The General Assembly in 1958 established a network of highways covering 1,053 miles. By 1972 Virginia would have invested over $1 billion its highway system. Almond called this "the greatest public works undertaking in Virginia history." On a more somber note, Almond said the General Assembly had to do more to curb the large number of fatalities on Virginia highways.
