UNIVERSITIES ASSETS
GEORGE WASHINGTON'S PROP
ERTY RAISED TO FULL VALUE.
Real Estate Holdings, Rated by Spe-
cial Accountants at Assessed VAL
uations, Brought to Proper Basis.

In their preliminary report to the At
torney General on the financial condition
Of the George Washington University
which has been transmitted to the Speak
er of the House, Special Accountants
Keyser and Smith confined their esti-
mates of the real estate holdings of the
university to the assessed valuations for
District taxation purposes, stating that
they did not feel qualified to fix the
present market value of the university's
real property. The assessed valua tons of
real property are on the basis of two
thirds of the actual value as determined
by the assessors. Consequently the assets
of the George Washington University,
stated in the Attorney Generals report
to Congress at $SO1 1906 A. are actually
greater by a considerable sum. in accord
ance with the valuation of the assessors.
Two of the items of the assets of the
general fund of the university are the
university and law halls at the corner
Of 10Th and II streets and the medical
hall and hospital on II street between
18th and 14th. The assessed valuation
Of the former is stated in the report at
s331.520 and of the latter at S21o.O49

The richest of all showmen was p. T.
Barnum, whose estate was worth more
than 100000 He had good investments
in real estate in Bridgeport and in New
York, in addition to his circus interests.

alone was worth a small fortune. His

son. who completed the famous trio,
whose names have flashed from bill

great circus man in his day, and who is
now a resident of New York, is a million

and Ephraim) built up fortune of sew
oral millions and left their families
with big estates. But the wonder chap
ter in modern circus annals is the record
of the Ringlings. Thirty years ago these

Alfred ID were "trouping' with few

vidins the music themselves Today they
own the three greatest circuses. the one
which bears their name, the Barnum and

Endowment Fund Holdings.

In addition to these two large holdings
are several pieces of property belonging
to the Corcoran endowment fund and
to the congressional professorship fund.
The admiral Powell house is rated at
an assessed value of S1S.923, representing
a real value of SIS :;S1.50 A Va cant lot

an index of real value of S2U25. Ten
sional profeSsorship fund are given as
having an assessed value of S2o,62l, to
which should be added $3.50, bringing
the real value to S3S.431
Bringing together all these increases
to raise the real estate assets from their
assessed valuation to their real valua-
ton in the eyes of the assessors. there
appears a total of $:,fsl, $50 to be added to
the assets of the university as stated in
the report. This gives grand total OF
university assets of S1,l1l.226.4 Al. on
setting this is debt, as stated In the re-
mort of S542,3lo.ti, leaving a gross mar

The estimate by the university authori-
ties of the value of the real estate based
upon sales in the neighborhood and eN-
pert opinion is considerably greater than
that placed upon the property by the as
SCISSORS as the basis of their Co.'S per cent
assessment valua ton. In the statement
Just issued by the trustees the value of
the general fund realty is placed at

Annual Budget Vital.

The most important factor in the resu-
lation of city finance and of city financial
management is found in the annual
budget 1t is at this point in the city's
business that the greatest activity should
be exercised to obtain uniformity, for il
the budgets of cities are framed along
uniform lines, then all of the resulting
financial work Of the city. including its
bookkeeping, accounting and statistical
work. will follow in logical sequence the
uniformity contained in the original tinan-
cial proposal adopted by the governing
authority. Too much cannot be said
about the Importance of this matter
A budget constructed along scientific
lines reduces all of the business of the
city to a few general heads. These gen.
eral heads are subdivided according to
departments or functions under the gem
eral head, and these departments or gem
eral functions are susceptible of division,
so that it can be determined, on the one
hand. what is the unit of cost for each
of the activities of the government, and,
on the other. what is the unit upon
which the revenue is based, and whether
either the unit of cost or the unit of
revenue is lust and fair

1T has been found that by considering
either the total expenditures or the total
appropriations as a basis, and said basis
being considered as 100 per cent. a dia-
gram can be prepared which will ac-
curately show in graphic form the eX-
penditures being made for any group of
expenditures or for any function of ac-
tlV1ty OF the government. This method of
treating the expenditures becomes more
valuable each year it is used, and tends
to show and to keep within proper
bounds the various expenditures or the
city. AS matter of fact. while figures
appeal and may be said to practically
talk TO accountant, yet a printed uIa-
gram showing the monthly or yearly con-
dition of the finances of the city is better
understood and more ineligible to the
average business man or layman.

termne the cost of operation. The total
thus expressed must again be divided and
subdivided and classified into their in
dividuaI functions or activities until we
reach the point where it is possible. to
determine the actual unit of cost value
under each function Of government. The
unit of cost having been thus ascertained,
it is possible to analyze and determine by
comparison whether such units of cost
are correct: and thus having determined
the correctness of the basis of eXpendi-
ture in detail, it is possible to prove
whether the aggregate of expenditure is
either too high or too low. Expenditures
of cities analyZed upon such a scientific
basis will result in great economy while
adding to the efficiency of the admins
tration. During the past year / have re-
ceived numbers of inquiries along these
lines, and particular inquiry has been
made as to the basis upon which the
various cost items of city government are
being established. This subject needs
very careful consideration, and is one
that must fiuctuate to a greater or less
extent by reasons of physical conditions
which exist in the various municipalities. .
