Prince Georges Heads
To Economic Despite
Surplus Of 81 Million

| Despite discovery of probable
81 million surplus in county funds,
the Prince Georges County Com
missioners intend to continue
their policy of economizing until
an audit, now in progress, is COM
Ipleted.
The surplus came to light yes
terday when Treasurer Julian B.
Mckay reported his Office has 81 S
million on deposit in banks
throughout the county.
This contrasts sharply with the
SITS 900 which the commissioners
estimated they had on hand when
they signed the 1872 budget
several months ago.
Mr.. Mckay explained that after
subtracting current tax receipts
and auto tax funds due munich
palities. there is balance Of
$828,495 which apparently was
not considered when the budget
was signed.
Allegations in Doubt.
| He emphasized. however, that
he did not know whether any of
that sum had been allocated for
specific projects.
The Treasurer said the excess
funds had been accumulating
since 1947.
His report came as an unex-
pected development in dispute
between the former Democratic
commissioners. who claimed the
county had SIS million surplus
when they left Office last Decem-
ber, and the present Republican
board which has denied or
trimmed budget requests on the
ground funds were lacking.
Fund Diversion Charged.
| A week ago, the county heads
charged the old board with di-
verting $653,000 spent or COM
mitted for road projects. They
1said part Of the money was taken
from general funds and the rest
borrowed from banks in actions
of doubtful legality"
In an answering statement, Jer-
rold v. Powers, attorney to the
former board, and his assistant,
Robert B. Matthias, said that pro-
cedure was followed to save in
tereSt charges. They pointed out
the money is to be repaid from
the proceeds of a $3.50, 900 bond
issue, authorized, but not yet sold.
The commissioners said yester-
day they still do not know what
the county's exact financial posi-
ton is. They said an audit of
county funds is under way and
that when completed. its findings
will be made public.
Will Continue to Economic.
Indicating they will try to re-
sist expected demands from de-
lpartment heads and civic groups,
the commissioners said:
I'VE do not intend to operate
| this county without a Sut1clent
working balance to take care of
possible emergencies.
eff the audit should disclose
that there is a surplus in addi-
ton to the necessary working
balance, this would be very
happy situation as we need at
lease 100000 to put the county's
highways in satisfactory condi-
| tion. We also could use several
hundred thousand dollars to pro-
vide school facilities"
In the meantime, the board
unanimously denied a request for
oyertime pay for employees of the
Public Works Department. They
1said they believed it unwise to
set such a precedent. ii

Property Values
In Fairfax Put
AT 1890 Million
County Revenue Due
To Increase Beyond
All Expectations
By Mary Lou Werner

Fairfax County's new assessed
property values total $3.50 million
80 per cent more than the figure
used in setting the current tax
rate.
AS a result. about 100000 in
unexpected revenues should be
collected.
Disclosure of the figure by AS
SCISSOR Graham James confirmed
reports that the recently COM
pleted reassessment of real estate
in the county would boost tax
revenue beyond all expectations.
Mr.. James had estimated in
March that the new assessment
would reach $99 million. 1t was
that figure. plus $24,150,000 in
personal property, merchants
capital and public utility assess
ments on which the 1951-52 budg-
ct and $2.65 tax rate were based.
Therefore, the total tax base
formerly anticipated was about
$123 million, while the total now
stands at about $154 million.
Bills Being Prepared.
County officials said there ap-
parently was no way that the
tax rate could be reduced this
year. The law requires that it be
established by midnight April 3D.
and tax bills already are being
prepared.
Opponents of the $2.65 tax rate
at the budget hearing protested
it would not be required because
the assessment figure was going
to be higher than expected.
The Board of Supervisors told
the objectors, however, that they
had to use the figure supplied
them by Mr.. James. They reduced
the original tax estimate to $2.65
after Mr.. James assured them
that the assessment figure would
be at least $40 million above his
original estimate.
It was the first time the super
visors could recall that an esti-
mated assessment figure had been
used in preparation of the budget.
Doubles 1850 Figure.
The assessment figure of $3.50
million is more than double the
old real estate assessment of ap-
proximately $56 million for 1850.
Only construction assessable by
last January l is included in the
new figure.
The reasseSsment has been un-
der way for more than a year.
The new figure was computed
only after all field work had been
completed.
Mr.. James said the $3.50 million
may vary several million in either
direction because reasseSsmentI
hearings will not be completed
until the end of this month. These
hearings, which give property
owners an opportunity to object
to their new assessments, may
result in adjustments, Mr.. James
explained.
40% of True Value.
In Fairfax County, a real estate
assessments are based on 40 per
cent of the true value.
Mr.. James said the figure ran
way above his original estimate
principally because new construc-
ton in the Falls Church magis-
terial district has outstripped all
expectations. The Falls Church
district, one Of the countys most
urban, was the last to be assessed.
County officials were hasty to
point out that most of the un-
anticipated financial bonanza
would be enjoyed by the School
Board. This is because the school
tax levy accounts for $2.15 of the
total tax rate.
Altogether, the $2.65 tax rate
was calculated to bring in slightly
over SO million for the 1951-52I
fiscal year. The rest of the
county's So million budget is made
up in revenue from State and
Federal grants, and other sources.
