Mess Feared
Over Earlier
Realty Taxes
August IS Deudline
Will Affect 20. 600
In Arlington County

Mortgage nrmS collecCing Arl-
ington, real estate taxes as part
of monthly home purchase pay
ments are faced with terrific
ness because of the new August
IS deadline. An estimated 20. 900
Arlington home buyers pay taxes
by this method.
George w. DeFranceaux, mort
gage banker and Washington
area president Of the Mortgage
Bankers Association, made this
prediction yesterday. He said
the association has been asked
to fight the legality of the new
deadline. A meeting of an Asso-
citation committee will be called,
Mr.. DeFranceaux said, to de-
termine what can be done.
Louis c. Carl, member of a
large Arlington real estate firm
that collects taxes for the county
from hundreds of home buyers,
said, I'm going to fight plenty
before ! pay any penalty"
Additional $50 to $1OO.
A county official estimated
that the new deadline will mean
that most taxpayers will have
to come up with an additional
$50 to 500 by August Is. With
the old December deadline, he
would have had an additional
three and a half months to save
this amount.
DR.. DeFranceaux said the
mortgage firms undoubtedly
would consider increasing mort
gage payments between now and
the new deadline. There is very
little time left for such a COM
plicated step, he said, and even
If it could be carried out, the
firms would be faced with "a
terrific situation"
The Virginia attorney general.
j. Lindsay Almond. jr., has held
that the new deadline, set by
the General Assembly last
March, is effective this year.
Delegate j. Maynard Ma
gruder had said before the At
torney'S General made his opin-
ion known that he believed the
law would not 60 into effect be-
fore next year.
Arlington Commonwealth's At
torney William j. HaSSan made
a similar contention. He had no
comment yesterday on MIR. Al
mond's opinion.
Two Deny They Were Consulted.
The Commonwealth's Attorney
said the proposal was never sub
mitted to his Office before it was
passed by the Legislature.
County Treasurer Colin C..
MACPHERSON said he was not
consulted on the measure that
passed the General Assembly.
The treasurer said there had
been discussion of a proposed
bill designed to give the County
Board permission to move the
deadline back gradually over a
period of years, but mandatory
legislation was not expected.
About 81 million in real estate
taxes will be due from 40, 900
property owners by August IS.
Taxpayers who fail to meet this
deadline will be assessed a S
per cent penalty. If the bill still
Is unpaid by February Is, 1855,
six per cent interest will be
charged until payment is made.
The new measure does not
apply to payment of personal
property taxes, still due on
December S. The new law also
leaves unchanged the date for
payment of real estate taxes by
public service corporations.
Mr.. Macpherson said he ex-
poets that all tax bills will be
in the hands of property owners
by August l. To accomplish this,
extra help will be needed and
overtime will be in effect in the
treaSurer'S office.

Klutznick is equally impatient
