Corrected Boundary
Puts Some Fairfax
Farms in Loudoun
BY Wilton J. EIvin

well, the farms that are part
in Fairfax and part in Loudoun
may get little lop-sided. be-
cause all the cattle viii sleep
In Loudourl.
That was one reaction yester-
day to announcement that q new
boundary line glves TO Loudoun
County all or part Of several
farms formerly considered part
Of Fairfax County.
Loudoun tax rates are much
lower. # q farm is in two coun-
ties. the farmer pays taxes on
his cattle to the county where
the animals sleep.
The new boundary. approved
by both counties. adds at least
500 acres to Loudoun. The sur
vey, stretching for about 10 miles
between the Potomac River and
Bull Run. was made by the Coast
and Geodetic Survey.
Several Farm Changes Listed.
A 160-acre farm Inherited by
Fairfax County Agent Joseph
Beard and his brother. John.
was believed to be entirely in
Fairfax. About half of it, includ-
ing a barn. proved to be in Lou
doun.
A 100-acre farm belonging to
John Middleton. former member
of the Fairfax County School
Board, turned out to be entirely
in Loudoun. It had been consid-
cred part of Fairfax before the
study was made. Mr.. Middleton's
home is in Fairfax County.
George L. Hummer. who is "a
years old, found that the $50,
acre farm he owns with Henry s.
Morgan is almost all in Loudoun.
Mr.. Hummer figures he and his
partner are entitled to a sizeable
tax refund from Fairfax County.
Their taxes, paid entirely to Fair
fax, amounted to about $425 last
year. The survey places all but
about so acres Of their property
in Loudour1.
Early-Day Expedient.
The custom Of paying taxes to
Fairfax, Mr.. Hummer believes.
began in the days of horse-and-
buggy tax collectors. His farm
was near some that were visited
by the Fairfax collector, but 1t
would have been a halliday trip
for the Loudoun collector to
reach his farm.
In those days, taxes on such
a farm were about SIS a year,
and there was little difference
between paying to Fairfax or
Loudoun. Now, with much of
Fairfax heavily urbanized, there
Is enough difference for prop
erty owner to want to be sure
which county he's in.
Loudoun's population will go
up about 10 persons, including
some children who presumably
will move from Fairfax County's
Floris School to the Loudoun
County School at Sterling.
At one point the line cuts
through Fairfax County's Oak
Grove School for colored chill
dren.

Mr.. Boothe. prominent leader

the Governors suggestion last

reiterates his sentiments In the
letter.

action would abolish the con-

The letter adds:

to the arch of our republican

step taken within the bounds Of

Gov. Stanley meanwhile added
confusion to the controversy,

recommendation to delete the

House Group 10 Vote
On Bill 0verlauIing
Tax Structure Today
By Robert K. Welsh

The huge bill overhauling the
Federal tau structure and con-
tinuing present corporation In
come tax rates for another year
came up for House Ways and
Means Committee final consider
alton today following commit
tee action on an excise tax
measure.
This is the second part Of
House Republican tax package
plan aimed at heading off DEM
ocratic drives to provide indi-
vidual income relief by raising
personal exemption allowances.
The first part contained cuts
totaling 1912 million in many
excuses but also continued some
at present rates that otherwise
would decrease April /.
The committee late yesterday
formally reported out the excise
tax bill. House leaders hope to
call it up for floor debate next
Wednesday and predict "over-
whelming" passage.
Democratic members, in a mi
nority report, objected to what
they called the "hasty action and
inadequate consideration" given
by the committee to the subject
Of excise taxes. They complained
there was only one full day Of
elaboration.
The minority report disputed
even the correctness of the bills
title as a reduction" of excise
taxes. It noted that the cuts in
such sales taxes on numerous
goods and services were esti-
mated as saving consumers
about 1912 million a year. while
cancellation Of cuts that would
automatically have taken effect
April / would bring in about
81, 070, 100000 in revenue. The
net effect. the report said.
would be an increase of $165
million in excise taxes.
Opposing the Republican move
to block the cuts that otherwise
would take effect next month on
alcoholic beverages. tobacco,
automobiles and gasoline. the
Democrats protested that the bill
would cancel permanently the
cuts.
