Virginia Fiscal Surplus
Seen Over $40 Million

RICHMOND, June 16 (AP).
-Virginia's financial picture
appeared brighter today-at
least on paper-but Capitol OBJ :
servers cautioned that the
State is not yet out of fiscal
difficulties.
State controller Sidney C.
Day, jr., reported that general
fund revenues for the first II
months of the fiscal year to-
tailed $135,983.548 or $7,8l1,185
more than had been collected
through the same period last
year. He said it appeared that
the State probably would end
the fiscal year the last of this
month with a general fund
surplus higher than the $40
million previously forecast.
Other capitol sources coun-
seled, however, that the figures
don't tell the whole story. They
pointed out that under the
Governors stringent economy
plan many purchases which
normally would have been
made during this fiscal year
have been postponed until after
the new fiscal year begins
July l.
Just what long-lasting effect
any surplus will have will not
be known until after the new
fiscal year begins and the pur-
chases which need to be made
are made, they said.
The size of the surplus was
Evening star., 1960-06-16

a major item in the money
fights at the recent General
Assembly. Gov. Almond and
his fiscal experts, in plugging
for a sales tax, had contended
that the surplus would be $40
million.
Anti-sales tax forces, under
the leadership of State Senator
Harry F. Byrd, jr., had argued
that the surplus would be much
higher-possibly up to $50 mil
lion-and that no sales tax
was needed.
Mr.. Day said total collections
for all funds, general and spe-
cial, came to $543,9O3,379 for
the first II months of the fiscal
year-an increase of $55,476, =
O2O over the same periad last
year.
Personal income tax collec-
tionS-which go into the gen.
eral fund-had slumped 1899. =
606 and stood at $42,814, ,470.
A $5,504,794 incraese in cor
porate income taxes the first
II months more than made up

come taxes. Corporate income
taxes totaled $23,958,706.
During May total collections
for all funds amounted to S84,-
787, ,447, compared with $78,-
20l ,438 a year ago. General
fund collections last month
came to $50,136,923, compared
with $47,198,046 on May. 1859.

Fairfax Asks
Sewer Plan

Fairfax County today moved
toward an economically feasi-
BILE" sewer line plan for the
booming areas of the county.
The county supervisors, who
feel they are faced with even
greater population expansion
than in the past. have asked
their consultant to come up
with plans for such areas as
Little Hunting Creek, Dogue
Creek, Pimmit Hills and the
Accotink area.
The supervisors took this &C
ton yesterday after a lengthy
discussion of sewer financing
problems with M. H. Kleger-
man Of Alexander Potter AS
sociates, a New York consult
ing firm.
Mr.. Kiegerman noted that
the route of the Potomac inter-
ceptor sewer line should be de-
termined before a final report
on sewer facilities is made.
Mr.. Kiergerman said further
that the board should estab-
lish a policy on interim sewage
treatment plants in areas above
and below the Districts water
intake on the Potomac and in
areas in the Occoquan basin.
The supervisors long have
asserted that they do not want
to dump treated sewage into
either water supply, although
they have warned that they
might not be able to prevent
private plants from doing this.
Among the financing meth
ods explained by Mr.. Kleger-
man were: Using surplus sewer
line earnings plus increased
rates, the sale of more bonds
and sanitary districts.
At one point, Supervisor Stu
art T. De Bell brought up again
his request for planning for
sewer facilities for a sanitary
district in Centreville district.
Such a system would have a
treatment plant on Cub Run
and would pump the efnuent
into the Occoquan watershed.
Action on the request was de-
terred to July 13.
