tax board following the filing OF an ap-
peal signed by ten Indianapolis tax
payers. When the date for hearing the
appeal arrived none OF the Taxpayers
appeared 10 present any evidence, but the
tax board chose to go over the facts
anyway.
1t quickly decided that there should be
no changes in the county rates. 1t then
went into detail on the city and school
city rates. asking numerous questions OF
officials
No formal explanation accompa aied the
announcement of the tax cuts Philip
Zoercher. member Of the tax board.
announced that the board had questioned
the item Of $3.50. 600 FOR miscellaneous IN
appropriated In the school budget ami
that it was for this reason that the cut
was made in the special fund levy.
He said the teachers pension fund levy
was cut because Of the 2-mill State levy
for that purpose, which had not been In
existence when the school board made
its levy. No explanation was offered for
the other cuts.
AS a result Of the cut IN the school
levy the building program of the toard
Of school commissioners may be Sc
riously impeded during the coming year
and the entire operation Of the school
system adversely affected, school Of
icials said today.
The board had planned to begin the
construction OF the first unit of new
Shoreridge High School at Thirty Fourth
and Pennsylvania streets, and the erection
Of new grade schools at No. 81, PARK
avenue and Seventeenth street, and Ma
20, Central avenue and Forty sixth
street, out Of the funds derived from
direct taxation this year. This would
mark the first school building opera
tons in this city TO be inaugurated by
means other than the sale OF building
bonds
Just what the cut means to the city
schools may judged, school officials say,
by the fact that the reduction Of the
special fund from 42.5 cents to 81 cents,
will mean a reduction Of approximately
$3.50, 600 in the fund. The building ard
grounds fupd has suffered a cut Of 40
per cent, which Will amount to about
S11s, 200
The cuts in the civil city levy will
not seriously hamper the incoming ad-
ministration next year. but will make II
necessary for department heads to be
instructed to cut expenditures as the
present administration had 10 do In 1919,
City Controller Robert II. Bryson said.
The cent and a half reduction In the
general fund levy will reduce the esd-
mated receipts In the general fund $780,
coo. sadi Mr. Bryson- The 1-cent cut IN
the sinking fund levy will reduce re-
re4pts approximately $4,000 This, he
said, will make 1t necessary for the next
administration either to refund some Of
the large bond issues falling due In 1924
or to increase the sinking fund levy In
1922 and 1928 The levy was raised from
4 to cents by the present administra-
ton for next year in order to start
building up a reserve to meet the 1924
obligations. 1t has been figured that
about $1250o0 could be put into this re-
serve. With the reduction in the levy
only about $75, 900 will be left after the
bonds falling due In 1922 are retired.
