THREE KILLED ON
GRADE CROSSING
pennsy Train Strikes Truck at
County Line.

T,hrea nersons were killed in a grade
crossing accident on the Marion-Johnson
county line between Greenwood and
Southport last night.
They were Mr. and Mrs. William
1 groadus Of Greenwood and their son,
kyiIford Broadus. IL.
3Ghe family was riding in a small truck
@&Ish was struck by Pennsylvania
8B~Ie bog died Immediately and the par
ents were taken to Greenwood where they
died short time after the accident.
The impact of the collision derailed
the train.
The question of an investigation of the
accident has taken a peculiar form be
cause Of the fact that it occurred on the
county line.
Coroner Robinson went to Greenwood
TO investigate the Marion county phase
of the accident and was told that the
johnson county coroner refused to in
vestigate because he believed the acci-
dent occurred entirely in Marion county.
Coroner Robinson takes the attitude
that the investigation is out of his ju-
digdiction because the deaths occurred in
l johnson county.
The jurisdiction may be settled by de
Aermining on which side of the line the
bodies were thrown in the accident.
Ii is understood that the body Of the
boy was thrown into Johnson county and
that Of his parents into Marion county.

This was learned today following a
conference between the governor, repre-
sentatiyes Of the republican state ticket,
the city attorney, and others, held In
the executive office.
The bill will be presented to the as
sembly on the theory that if the legis-
lature had the right originally to grant
the state tax board the power to make
horizontal tax increases. It now has the
power to legalize such action, after the
Increases had been made by the board
in overstepping its authority
BILL CONTAINS
SEVERAL SECTIONS.
The bill it was learned, will contain
several sections
One section will provide that IN every
taxing unit those taxpayers whose proAr
erty has been assessed at more than true
cash value may, upon application to the
board Of county commissioners in the
county in which they reside. have their
assessment reduced.
Another provision is that, in any tag
ing unit where increases made in the
fnture may be set aside by the court.
local taxing officials may be authorized
10 levy increases TO make I'D the deficit
caused by such ruling.
In each taxing unit, it is understood
the bill will provide, where revenues are
decreased sufficiently TO cause a deficts
III the funds of that unit for the cur
rent fiscal yea, that that unit shall be
authorized to borrow money to cover
such deficit.
such loan shall be limited by the bill
to cover period Of not more than one
year, 1t is understood.
Should the bill pass the legislature. no
change would be effected in the assess
ment Of banks, public utilities and like
corporations, high state official said
The assessments of these utilities were
made before the horizontal increases were
made on personal property. and conse-
quentiy they were not affected.
Litigation now pending in the courts
10 have the valuations reduced to be
proportionate the assessments on per-
sonal property. would automatically be
dismissed by the passage of the Iegaliz-
ing measure.
PROVISION MADE FOR
TAXPAYER'S APPEAL.
That section of the bill providing for
an appeal by taxpayers to the board of
county commissioners is included as
means of giving every property owner q
square deal, an official said
Under this section. the official stated,
every property owner has the right to
appeal for a decreased valuation in or
der that no injustice may be done.
If this section were not in the bill
every tax duplicate in the state would
have to be rewritten and the entire
system Of taxation would be thrown into
confusion and chaos
The official cited the case Of the Erie
railroad, which, before the horizontal in
creIses were made by the tax board, ap-
piled in the federal court for a decree
to make its taxes proportionats TO the
assessment upon personal property.
When, however, the horizontal in
creases on personal property were made,
the petition was withdrawn. and again
renewed at the ruling of the supreme
court.
Should the proposed bill be approved
and passed by the legislature, this ac-
ton would again become unnecessary,
and the assessments would be proper.
