Maryland Loses Tax
Money On Land Owned
By Federal Agencies
Estimated 100000 Lost By The
Counties And Baltimore Since
January |, 1910

Maryland counties and the City of
Baltimore are losing more than $780,
600 annually in taxes as a result of
acquisition of land within the State
since January /, 1940 by the Federal
Government, the State Tax Commits
sion has reported.
Robert France, chairman, said the
figure was arrived at on the basis Of
a survey of Federal land acquisitions
through last December 8, and that it
is constantly increasing. He added
that the Federal Government starts a
new procedure almost every week to
obtain land in some part of the State.
Studies Being Made
Up to December s, the survey
showed, the City of Baltimore and the
counties had abatcd assessments in
the amount of Sass, 1850 on more
than 10000 acres acquired by Gov
eminent agencies. The total estimated
loss is based on an average tax rate
Of $1.49.
In many instances the effects Of
the tax losses are not Immediately felt,
because the Government paid nominal
sums in lieu Of taxes, but Mr.. France
pointed out it will be seriously felt
as the years advance.
The Council Of State Government
and the National Association of Tax
Assessors are making studies of the
continued acquisitions of State lands
by the Federal Government throughout
the nation, Mr.. France said.
The amount of land acquired in Gar
rctt county totals 1925 acres, accord
ing to the survey, with an assessa-
bic value Of S50OSl.
