Tax Assessment Cut
Planned by Dec. 81
In Prince Georges
By J. |. MichoeI

Prince Georges County plans
to reduce ali property assess
ments 10 per cent as of De-
cember 81.
A motion unanimously adopted
by the County commissioners
yesterday instructed the County
lay Assessor Ito be prepared for
a blanket 10 per cent cut in as
Sessment valuations of every
pieces of property in Prince
Georges County"
Commissioner Edward j. Wa
ters. who sponsored the motion
at the Upper Marlboro meet
ing, said the county's STA mil
lion surplus and constantly ris-
ing asSessable base make the
cut feasible.
He said residential and COM
lnercial property valuation. ex-
elusive of public utilities and
some other categories, has ad-
vanced from $1883 million in
1850 to $3248 million in 1858.
A further advance of approx
ln!ately $40 million is expected
to be added at the end of this
year.
December 81 Dcadline.
1t was pointed out, however,
that before the proposed 10 per
cent reduction can become effec-
tive, another motion definitely
ordering the cut must be passed
by December 81, the last day
the commissioners can change
the assessments.
Mr.. Waters said he will offer
the motion and the commits
sioner's action yesterday indi-
Gated that a majority probably
will go along,
But there are obstacles, among
them the State law requiring
that assessments be on a uni
form basis throughout Mary
land. That law possibly fore
shadows a dispute between the
State Tax Commission and the
commissioners.
Prince Georges Tax Assessor
Louis w. KutSch and Albert w.
Ward, executive secretary Of the
State Tax Commission-f1nal
arbiter of such matters-called
the proposal unprecedented"
They said they could not dis
cuss the question until they have
had time to study it.
Republican State Senator John
r. Fletcher of Prince Georges
also declined detailed comment.
The Senator said however that
II feel the matter may have
serious repercusSions if dis
agreement develops between the
State Tax Commission and coun-
ty authorities.
$1,418,775 Surplus.
The $14 million County sur
plus figure cited by Mr.. Waters
came from the county's first
quarterly financial statement re-
leased yesterday by Treasurer
Julian B. Mckay. His report
showed the county has sur
plus of $1,418,775 as Of Septem-
Der 80.
An act of the last Legislature
authorized consolidation of the
county's fiscal bureaus and pro-
vided for quarterly and annual
financial reports.
The statement just issued
shows that MI. McKay's new
Department of Finance collected
$7.8 million in the first fiscal
quarter and dispersed $29 mil
lion.
In addition. the county COL
lected 81 million for the WASH
ington Suburban Sanitary Com
mission, $201,3 1861 for the Mary
land-National Capital Park and
Planning Commission and $780,
800 in State property taxes. Mr..
Mckay estimated that the

some of its funds in short term
Government bonds and interest
bearing bank accounts will re-
turn about $4,000 in three

Rev. James c. Brown, DID,. Pastor
Last Sunday mornings service
was an inspiring one. The pastor
delivered for the Communion
meditation, "The hands at the
Communion table," Luke 22;2l
This timely theme dealt with
the Characterization of hands.
Especially the hands of Christ and
how He lifted us from out of the
mockery of sin to a new life. This
message penetrated deeply into
the hearts of all present. The
pastor extended the right hand
of fellowship to a young lady who
came forward and joined the
church. Junior Church service
was well attended and the pastor
delivered an appropriate message.
1t is gratifying that young folk
appreciate their service and it is
hoped that more young people at
tend. You are reminded that the
service is from 9: 45-10:l5 AM.
You are urged to encourage the
young folk in their new endeavor.
