Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance is hereby requested to study the mowing practices of the West Virginia Division of Highways to determine the potential cost savings to the state by increasing efficiency in mowing along West Virginia's expressway system; and, be it
