MARION COUNTY
DEFIES ORDERS
OF TAX BOARD
CContinued From Page One.)

p member Of the board of review. it was
evident that Ralph Lemcke, treasurer.
had changed his opinion.
Lemcke. who is n candidate for re-
election as county treasurer on the re
publican ticket, suddenly upset the plans
Of Auditor Fesler TO certify the tax du
1plicates back without q change, by in
sisting that justice be done to the tax
payers.
On the suggestion of Henry F. Camp
bell and Mr.. Lemeke, as well as Mr..
.Fesler. the real estate transfer book was
produced and comparison made Of the
selling price of the land with the as
ssessed valuation.
II was discovered in Lawrence town
aFhip that land was actually selling less
y han the assessed valuation.
That easily convinced the FIVE mem bers
'of the board Of review that in this town
ship as well as four Others the present
assessment which includes the horizontal
increases, was toe high, and that a re
ductfon should be made.
Lemcke appeared to take every op-
portunity at this time to take issue with
Auditor Fesler who first insisted that
no changes be made, but as soon as he
was confronted with the unfair assess
ments in Lawrence township and four
others he agreed to the reductions.
Mr.. Vorhies stated he was In favor Of
knocking out all the horizontal increases
but was Of the opinion that the reduc-
tons in a measure atoned for some Of
the wrong committed by the state tax
board
Auditor Fesler. Treasurer Lemcke. As
SCISSOR Douglas, Mr.. Campbell and Mr..
Yorhies voted unanimously TO the reduc-
tons when it was found that real estate
IN five out Of nine townships were selling
below the assessed valuation.
When the board of review was brought
face to face with the fact, it was neces-
sary to make the reductions in order to
fulfill their oaths not to certify back any
assessment but true cash values.
The board did not change the horizon
tai increase Of 30 per cent on personal
property in Marion county.
Mr.. Fesler stated the reduction in the
FIVE townships would result in slight
reduction in the aggregate assessed val
uatjon OF Marion county.
cit viii probably result in the reduc-
ton Of several Millions" Auditor Fesler
said
II is thought the farmers federation
will proceed with their proposed suit
to test the validity Of the Tuthill- Kiper
act because Mr.. Vorhies indicated that
the farmers we're insisting on a complete
withdrawal Of the horizontal Increases
and the restoration of the original as
sessments.

CITY WITHOUT
RIGHT TO ISSUE
MORE BONDS?
Joker in Tax Law Interpreted
to Rescind All Au-
thority.

Attorneys examining the ''home rule"
tax law, amending the Goodrich state tax
law passed by the special session of the
legislature after more than two weeks
Of wrangling, today discovered 'ioker"
in Section 4, by which, they say, the
state tax board lost its power to pass
on bond issues when the governor signed
the bill.
The section, of the amending statute,
as passed by the legislature and signed
by the governor, states that after Jan.
1, 1921, any municipal corporation, through
it's proper legal officers, may issue such
bonds sor other evidence of Indebtedness
as it may deem necessary" with the evil
dent intent of taking the power to pass
on bonds away from the tax board not
before the first of next year.
BY doing this the legislature made the
old section POI imperative Immediately
and does not make the substitute sec
ton operative. until Jan. 1. 1921.
Thus. it is commended, all authority for
the issuance of bonds is eliminated maxi
ing it impossible for either local au.
tnorities or the tax board legally to
pass on bond issues in the interval be
fore Jan. 1, 1921.
Thus, since the amendments took eff
feet Immediately on being signed by the
governor, there Delng an emergency
clause in the bill, the state tax board,
as well as local taxing officials
the attorneys say, has had no power to
pass on bond issues since Saturday,
when the governor signed.
1t is pointed out by the lawyers that If
their conention that the power of the tax
board has been wiped out all acts of that
body in passing on bond issues since the
governor signed are Illegal.
In case the contention Of the attorneys
is found to be correct the city of Indian
apolis would be affected materially.
The board of park commissioners an
nounced Thursday that probably they
would be compelled to go before the
state tax board this fal3 TO get permits
sion again for bond Issues for which
permission has been granted, because
the building material to be used in
shelter houses and other work contem-
plated has gone up in value.
The board Of public health and char
ity's $4,000 nurses home for the City
hospital also might be affected by the
Joker" If the board decides to try to
sell bonds before Jan. /, since, under
the contention of the attorneys, the
health board would not be compelled to
seek the permission Of the tax board.
