Fund Surplus Rises
S53,479 in Year
TotoI Is Increased
To S442,532, Report
OF Auditors Shows

The total surplus of all county
funds in Arlington County, Va,
was increased by $50 .479.96 during
the last 3tscal year ending June 80.
1910, the annual report of the State
auditors reveals
The audit, made by the firm of T.
Coleman Andrews e. Co. of Rich
mond, indicated all funds had a
total surplus of 1888, ,O52 96 on June
30. 1899, and had increased to S442, =
53202 one year later. The report
was made to Elmer F. Newell, chief
of the Arlington County Division of
Finance and Accounting, yesterday.
The county operating funds in
creased from a deficit of S3,59l 16
at the beginning of the fiscal period
to a surplus of S57,400.l7 at the
close of the year. showing a net
improvement of s60,99l.33
The deficit of the general fund,
which had been reduced during the
last few years, was eliminated this
year covered by the audit and
this fund showed a surplus of s54.-
659.ll at June 30, 1910. Therefore, it
is evident that the county's finances
have been we'll administered the
auditors commented in the report.
Difficulties Pointed Out.
The report points out that "ac-
curate budgeting of the county's
receipts and disbursements is ex-
tremely difficult due to its rapid
growth This is particularly true
of the water funds"
Despite this observation, the total
expenditures were kept within the
appropriations for each group OF
budgeted funds, except in the case
of schools where sight excess OF
expenditures over appropriations re-
suited, the report said.
The auditors pointed to a need
of further accounting for materials
and supplies, but Mr.. Newell ex-
planned that improvements already
have been made which should be
reflected in the audit for the cur
rent fiscal year ending June 30. 194l
The auditors said the Water De-
partments fronting and tapping ac-
count was found to be s2,44261 less
than the control account.
Agrees to Make Changes.
The difference in frontage and
tapping agreements is considerably
in excess of normal tolerance" the
auditors reported. We discussed
this situatieh with the manager of
the Water Department and he
agreed to make certain changes in
the method of keeping the frontage
and tapping records which should
facilitate the keeping and balancing
of these accounts"
Mr. Newell explained that his de-
partment and the Water Depart
ment already had made improve
mentS in the methods of bookkeep-
ing and maintenance of these ac-
counts which were brought to the
attention of the fiscal examiners
Their report for the current fiscal
year likewise should show an i'm
provement in the condition of these
records, Mr.. Newell said.
Revenues increased S242, ,l54.54
over the previous fiscal year to a
total of s2,360,645.22 Expenditures
increased S304,65453 over the pre-
vious year to S2,3O7 1926. These
figures include all funds and ex-
pendltures-Federal, State and local
