FAIRFAX COUNTY
PLANS CIVIC BODY
New Federation Will Join
Others in Developing
Metropolitan Area.

Preliminary arrangements are under
way for the establishment of Fairfax
County civic federation, to be con.
Quoted on much the same basis as the
civic declarations of Montgomery
County, Md. and Arlington County,
Va.
The plans call for eventual affilia
ton with these two declarations and
with the Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations of the District of Columbia in
the Interfederation Conference, to
work for Improvement of the metro
politan area and for mutual co-opera
ton.
The first steps We're taken Monday
evening at a meeting of the Great
Falls Street and Lewinsville Road AS
s,ociation. At this gathering speakers
pointed out that a large portion of the
nearby Virginia county was in the
lnetropolitan area into which the city
of Washington eventually VIII spread
1t is essential, it was pointed out, to
set I'D machinery of coordination in
the development Of this metropolitan
area as well as to attend to local
affairs.
Sneakers called attention to the fact
that the Great Falls street-Lewinsville

for the metropolitan area as high
way to be developed. This historic
road. it was pointed out. 1lrst was laid
out by George Washington as a route
to Great Falls. and should become one
of the beautiful drives of the National
Capital area.
The meeting was held ut the home
of the president of the local associa-
ton, George C.. Thompson, and was
largely attended.
The resolution adopted pointed out
that Fairfax County is linked with the
District of Columbia and it's contigu.
Gus territory and is directly affected
by the developments planned by the
Washington. Maryland and Virginia
planning commissions.
The proposal is to form the Fairfax
County federation out of the various
local civic bodies which now are func-
tioning but whose individual interests
are almost purely local.
Plans are under way for meeting
in the near future of representatives
Of all these bodies to create a definite
organization.

AUDITOR REJECTS
GAS REFUND PLEA
Donovan's Ruling on City
Post Office Will Be Sent
to McCarI.

A demand by the Washington City
Post Office for the refund of $3,637.3S.
representing the amount it paid to the
District as tax on 1S1 1863 gallons OF
gasoline was denied today by District
Auditor Daniel j. Donovan, in a
lengthy opinion submitted to the Dis
trict Commissioners.
The refund was claimed by the Post
Office Department following a decision
of Controller General McCarl on April
IS, 1926, in which he held that the
Government is not required to pay
tax on gasoline and is entitled to col
lect any taxes paid by an importer of
motor fuel purchased and officially
used by it.
To Go to McCarl.
AS Mr.. Donovan's opinion is in con-
flict with the decision of the Con-
troller General, the Commissioners
plan to send the auditors report to
Mr.. McCarl for "a review.
Briefly, the auditor held that the
collector of taxes is not authorized to
refund the tax paid on gasoline, ire
spective of whether the motor vehicle
is owned by the Federal or District
governments. or by any individual.
The refund demanded by the Post Of
fee Department covered the period
between July l.. 1925, and June 80,
1926.
Specific Question Raised.
Auditor Donovan raised a specific
question in his opinion on which MIR.
McCarl will be asked to rule. 1t is
whether the District should be re-
quired to make a refund to the Gov
eminent on gasoline it purchases
under contract and price of which
includes the 2-cent gasoline tax.
Should the controller general con-
clusively establish that refund
should be made in this case, Auditor
Donovan told the Commissioners that
it would appear that considerable
sum collected by the District from
the importers would be returned to
the Federal treasury.
