Summary

The Act of May 23, 1928, provided for constructing a highway from Washington, D.C. to Mount Vernon, Virginia, such highway being usually referred to as the Mount Vernon Memorial Highway.

Accordingly, I have to advise that the unexpended balance of the funds in the no-year appropriation for the construction of the highway is not available for the acquisition of the land here in question unless and until specifically made so available by law.
