Consideration should be given

The county executive should
hold more frequent staff meet

monthly reports which are sub
mitted to the supervisors.
The written word should be
used more extensively for in

last Of . Series
on county government sub
mitted by the bureau last week:
/. The Board Of County Su-
pervisorS must discipline itself
lot to dabble in administrative
matters and demand adequate
5taff work in preparation for
,oard action.
2. Every department, COM
mission and agency in the
county must be made to under
stand that the county executive
is the boss. An administrative
code should be prepared on a
do-it-yourself basis to acquaint
everyone with the proper line
of authority and set it down in
writing for all to see.
Some Major Difficulties
Several recon m e ndations
are scattered throughout the
report, but these two sugges-
tions are the ones offered to
solve the major difficulties en-
countered during the bureaus
six-month study.
The report emphasized that
the supervisors should lessen
the amount Of details "by dis
continuing its present practice
Of doing what others can do
for it,
The existing situation is de-
scribed as a vicious cycle"
that encourages administrative
employees to bring more. and
more minor problems to the
board for action. Eventually,
matters are brought to the
board with little prior thought
from the agencies involved.
THE board. forced to make
a decision on the basis Of in.
complete Information, usually
assumes the attitude that it
must make its own independ-
ent Investigation in order to
gather the information it needs
to make a proper decision" the
report states. This course of
action not only perpetuates but
enhances the problem"
The board is advised to de-
mand proper advance work,
and "if the board fails to re-
ceive information adequate for
1t to make its decision, 1t should
keep referring the matter back
to the appropriate agency in
the administrative structure
until 1t does obtain what it
needs"
The report considers prepara-
ton Of an administrative code
the best way to bring about q
clearer organization under
standing Of the county gov
ernment.
"Only by forcing each agency
10 struggle with a description of
its role and functions and the
procedures for discharging its
duties will 1t come to appreciate
fully its role and place in the
Fairfax County administrative
structure" the report adds. "If
this can be accomplished, tre-
mendous gain will have been
realized"
Other recommendations gen.
orally are intended to tighten
internal organization Of the
county government and to
strengthen the county execu-
tive's hand. Among the pro-
posals are these:
The county executive should
be made responsible for prep
aration Of the agenda for
board meetings. Copies Of staff
reports and recommendations
on each agenda item should be
given to board members in ad-
vance Of meetings.
A follow-up system should be
established by the county exec
utive to see that board di-
receives are CARED out and to
assure regular progress reports.

ahead. What will happen there
after will depend on how much
zing new models put into de-
mand.
Appliances: Sales in many
lines have been tagging, al
though Improvements on air con-
ditioners are making this the
best year for them so far. New
models may perk up demand a
little.
Employment: While the total
remains high. there has been a
lag in factory jobs and a drop
in overtime. Any great improve
ment here will depend on a rise
in consumer demands for dur
ableS.
Brighter Side
Offsettlng these areas are
some considerable strength:
Plant and equipment invest
ment: This sturdy prop of the
economy will be even sturdier in
this half of the year. A survey
by the Commerce Department
and the Securities and Exchange
Commission shows business ex-
poets to spend at an annual rate
OF 1918 billion in the July
September quarter and 1919 bill
lion in the October DecembeS
period, setting new records each
quarter.
Road building: Although the
Federal highway program has
been dragging, there should be
a moderate pickup this sum-
mer and fall, with more plans
approved. more surveys COM
pleted and fresh funds available
Defense spending: With new
appropriations. available and
with new programs moving into
production. spending is calcu-
lated to rise during the rest of
the year.
Apparel: Sales have been
picking up somewhat, although
largely at the expense of dura-
bles. With stronger efforts to
promote new fashions, the pick
up may continue.
Incomes to Rise
Personal income: Total has
been rising steadily since l949,
except for a minor dip in 1854
and the rise is likely to continue
in the last half of this year.
The Gross National Product
has been holding well above
1856 record marks, although the
April-June figures may be slight
ly below the January March
rate. Some analysis expect a
further slide ahead; others see
a small gain. None, however,
predicts either a sharp gain or
a sharp drop, and there's some
comfort in that.

Prospects for business in the

However. there are some weak
spots which may get worse.
These are the weak areas:
Housing: New units so far this
year have been below the mil

time since 1948 and there is
nothing to indicate a pickup in
the second half.
Autos: Sales have been run
