SUE TO KILL STATE

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. 17-Suit
to test the validity of the fuel and food
act passed by the recent special ses-
sion was filed in United States dis
trict court here today. A temporary
Injunction to prevent action by the

COUNTY
BUDGET IS MADE UP

A tentative budget for Wayne
county, for 1921, has been completed
by w. H. Brooks, county auditor, and
will be submitted to the Wayne county
council at it's meeting, September Z
for consideration.
The budget, compiled from esti
mates submitted to the auditor by
heads of various branches of the
county government, provides an ap
preparation of $245, 4S0.50 for the gen
eral fund, $185,000 for the south side
bridge fund and $25,500 for payment of
bonds and coupons for the Main street
bridge.
The appropriation for the general
fund, for 1920, was $4,000. The
proposed $63,4S0 increase for next
year is mainly due to items of $4,000
for the construction of new bridges,
including a bridge over the C. & o.
railroad on South Ninth street at an
expense of $4,000, and $4,000 for the
remodeling and repairing of the main
building at the Smithfield hospital so
that patients can be admitted to it.
After the county council acts on the
budget the county commissioners will
meet and establish the county tax
rate for 1921.

zOECHER HERE ON
STARR TAX. SQuABBLE;
conference HELD

Philip Zoercher. member of the
board of tax commissioners, held a
conference with officials of the Starr
Piano company Tuesday in an effort
to reach an adjustment in the con-
troversy created by the company's re-
fusal to accept the horizontal assess
ment levied by the state tax board
last year.
In 1919 the Wayne county board OF
review levied an assessment valua'
ton of $750,000 against the property
of the Starr Piano company. When
the assessment made by the Wayne
board was sent to the state board OF
tax commissioners for their approval
they added horizontal increases OF
100000, making a total assessed
property valuation of $1,250,000.
The Starr Piano company objected
to the horizontal increase levied by
the state tax board When the tax
became due this year the company
rendered payment for a valuation OF
$750,000.
The state refused to accept this
payment. The company then filed a
petition, stating that the company hac
regarded the horizontal increase as
eXorbitant and giving that as theil
reason for not paying on the full
amount.
