Alexandra Officials
Admit S1,082,614 |
0verspending in Al

Alexandria S t947 budget of $2,483,-
500 was overaexpended by s1,os2,-
614.51, city officials admitted today
This disclosure was made by Coun-
Gilman Samuel Luckett at Tuesday
nights Council meeting. No specific
figures were revealed at that time,
however.
Col. Everett A. Hellmuth, chair
man of the Council Finance Com
mittee said today the anticipated
revenue of $2,483,393 actually
amount to $2,644,658.79, reducing
the deficit to 1921 ,348.72.
Col. Hellmuth explained that
1924, 1878 had been appropriated
but later written off" after the
Council was warned by its auditors
to stop making special appropria-
tons, further reducing overexpend-
iture to $686,590.84.
He said 100000 of this sum was
charged against the Council when
improvements authorized as far back
as 1914 were completed during the
past year. All of this item could be
repaid by bond issue, however, be-
cause it represented expenditures for
capital improvements, Col. Hellmuth
said.
The Finance Committee chairman
said the engineering department
showed an overexpenditure of $ll5,-
900, most of which was caused by
snow removal work and flood con-
troll emergencies. In the final
analysis, the deficit amounted to
only SOL 900, Col. Hellmuth said, al
though ION paper" it amounts to
more than 100000.
Col Hellmuth pointed out that
the Council recently took steps to
prevent such an overexpenditure In
future years by resolving not to
make any special appropriations ex-
cept in emergencies and then only
by a three-fourths vote. He added
the Council had provided "cush-
ion" fund in this years $3,111,74s
budget to take care Of minor capital
improvements during the year.

New Parity Price Vital
To Maryland tobacco
Growers, Posey Says
By jones BirchfieId

Walter B. PoSey, tobacco specialist
at the University Of Maryland, said
today that Maryland tobacco grow
ers will be prevented from receiving
another "ruinous" price for their
crop this year If Congress will ap-
prove an amendment to the parity
price law.
Mr.. Posey said the amendment,
now before Congress, would assure
Maryland, growers of Type 80 to-
bacco a minimum average price OF
81 cents a pound. This would be
from 4 to cents lower than prices
received during recent good tobacco
years, Mr.. Posey said, but would be
considerably higher than the As
cent-average last year.
Type 80, non-aromatic tobacco
grown only in Southern Maryland
is used mostly in cigarette blends
for it's burning characteristics.
Below Production Cost.
Maryland farmers received far
below the cost Of production fol
their last two crops" Mr.. Posey said
GAS a result, hundreds of tenants
and farm laborers already have left
tobacco farms for better employ
ment.
Landlords and tenants have Dor
rowed heavily on the present crop
Lending agencies report they have
broken all records, with some re-
porting so per cent more loans than
in other years and others reporting
exhausted funds. 'S'A'7 .-~=
Meanwhile Government taxes on
Maryland tobacco amount to about
SLIT pound, yet growers receive
little assistance in producing the
CROP : R@
Asserting that Maryland farmers
are discouraged, Mr.. Posey predicted
a 20 per cent drop in the tobacco
crop this year. He said growers
have had no opportunity to sell
their crops under a protective sys-
tenn, but have been "at the mercy
of tobacco selling agencies and to-
bacco buyers"
Points to Other States.
Pointing out that the parity law
was amended for growers of ciga-
rette tobacco in other States, Mr.
Posey said this meant millions Of
dollars to these growers.
Growers in the fue-cured area
Mr.. Posey said, have received during
the last few years an average Of
about $3.50 per tobacco acre, ano
those in the hurley belt averaged
about $430 per acre. This, compared
with about a $371 per acre average
for Maryland growers, Mr.. Posey
said.
Mr.. Posey said members of the
Southern Maryland Farm Bureau
and representatives of the university
have agreed that some protective
program is needed for Maryland
tobacco.
The most expedient program, the
two groups agreed, is q Govern
ment-support program similar te
those In operation in other tobacco
States, Mr.. Posey added.
