Surplus Sets U S Record in 1948 Budget Gap
Secretary Snyder announced the 1948 fiscal year surplus at 58 419 469 243 81, the largest in history, noting a $3 billion difference under congressional bookkeeping.

A separate court motion in a Potomac Edison condemnation suit over a right of way near the city was argued before Chief Judge Woodward with a verdict of 1 026 for the defendants.
