AS the water passes over these

Permanent Arlington
Assessment System
Approved by Board

The Arlington County Board voted
unanimously today for a permanent
county assessment system.
, In proposing such system,
Daniel A. Dugan, Independent,
member OF the board, cited Airing
toms $26, ,000, 900 initial overestimate
Of property values for tax purposes
F. Freeland Chew seconded the
motion calling on the county's legis-
lative delegation to the General AS
sembly to prepare the required act
Dugan Issues Statement.
In a statement, Mr.. Dugan de-
clared:
THE present confusion over as.
sessments brings out anew the neeo
for permanent assessment sys-
tenn that will keep assessments or
a current basis; a system respon-
sible to the people and not to a
single individual. Now is the time
to request our representatives II
Richmond to sponsor such legisla-
ton at the 1948 session OF the
General Assembly"
The County Reassessment Board
now has placed the 40 per cent
valuation on real estate, for tax
purposes, at $90,959,621, which is
about $26 900 900 less than its pre-
liminary $117,0O0,000 estimate OF
last October. The last general
reassessment in the county was held
in 1910 when property values were
set at $46,355, 900.
No new evaluation for tax pur-
poses was made in 1914 because OF
the war, but Commissioner of Rev
|enue Harry K. Green made annual
assessments on new construction
and improvements which brought
the 1910 figure up to 81, 1863 ,060 al
of January l, 1946.
Report Increases Values.
This weeks Reassessment Boart
report increased values by $19 600 ,00'
compared with its $45, 100000 esti
mate of last October.
IF and when any investigation O
the reassessment is made it nigh
well disclose that the original figur'
of $45 100000 was correct and tina
it has been lowered to $4,000 ,00I
since last October in Difference t.
the demands of some Of Arlington
vested interests" Mr.. Dugan said.
Some quarters believe g lower as
sessment figure will aid a curren
campaign for a referendum on
proposed 100000 bond issue TO
schools and general improvements
Mr.. Dugan previously charge,
that his former Democratic oppo
nent, Edmund D. Campbell, whom
he defeated, had been among thos'
who speeded release Of the October
figure.
Clarifies Attitude.
MANY have construed my re.
marks relative to the matter te
mean that Mr.. Campbell was re-
sponsible for the alleged error" Mr.
Dugan's statement today declared
This Is far from the truth. -" !" Mr.
Campbell was partly responsible for
the hasty release of the original
$45, 900, 900 figure"
Mr.. Green has stated that even
il the Reassessment Boards report
Of $685. ,621 remains unchanged,
taxable property will be appraised
at about Sill 900 900 when new con-
struction for 1916, personal property
and utilities are added.
