STATE BOARD PROVES
USEFUL IN HOLDING
DOWN INDEBTEDNESS
(By Associated Press)

INDIANAPOLIS, July 2-New debts
by Indiana counties, townships and
towns involving interest charges of
almost $1,000 a day have been ap-
proved by the state tax board since
it assumed control over local bond
issues three months ago. But with
out the state boards veto power. the
debts, with interest charges, would
have been twice as much.
Records of the board show the ap-
proval of bonds aggregating almost
$6,000,000 and the denial of proposals
for more than half that amount, with
( others involving equally large expen-
ditures pending for action before the
| board. Practically all of the new is
sues were to finance road and school
house construction. with the road
projects outnumbering the schools
two to one. The bonds generally run
for 20 years and bear six per cent in
terest
Restrict Bond Issues
| All proposals for bond issues, rep
resenting new public debts, originate
with local officials whose approval o
the expenditure is necessary befor,
the proposal comes to the state boa I'd
For a time the control was entirel,
local, but the last legislature abolished
this sort of home rule" restoring t.
the state board last March it's vett
power over security issues that hat
been lost by the board Jan. l.
The state boards policy is to g
slow in permitting communities to is
sue new bonds, according to member
of the board, who assert that as
general proposition new debts shoul
, not be incurred at present unless
real emergency requires the new pro.
ect. Board members say they ar
loathe to pile up six per cent interes
: charges against local municipalitie
despite favorable action by the loca
officials.
Insist on Local Hearing
However, the boards policy is nc
! to deny a bond issue without a heal
: ing held in the interested community
v This practice obtains even in the al
/
: improvement, such a remonstrance b.
: ing able to be brought by ten loca
taxpayers. Many of the denials hav
: resulted from formal objections, otl
1 ers from the boards inquiry on il
!, own motion, and likewise many bond
I have been authorized in the face {
objections.
Only six school bond issues hav
been rejected by the state board, th
largest being for $160000 with th
total amount of the six issues bein
s44o,063. Twenty-six road project
have been denied which would hav
involved expenditures of s2,654, ,26
|, The largest of these expenditures wa
. $470000, with the others ranging frol
$4,000 to S450,000.
4 Issues Total Over Million
Thirty-five school bond issues a
. proved by the board total S1,644,00
II while 81 road issues amount to 5;
e 963, 300. Miscellaneous issues appro
! ed by the board include $4,000
hospital bonds. 100000 of water worl
securities, and $4,000 of park bond
Bond proposals that have been r
a. jected or approved are scattered ov'

- ty or some of its political subdivision

FULMER
TRYING TO SAVE JACKSON
Especial Correspondence of The Dis
patch-NeWS.)

Especial Correspondence of The Dis
patch -News.)
Washington, D. c., Nov. Con
gressman Fulmer, one OF whose
specialties is keeping in touch with
the shifting plans for the disposition
Of Camp Jackson, gave out today
some interesting and authentic news
covering the situation as it now
stands. After conference this after
noon with the army officials in
charge Mr.. Fulmer stated that the
salvaging Of all the abandoned camps
has just been held up pending con-
sideration by board of staff officers
of a plan for utilizing the camps by
the National Guard and organizations
for reserve training during the sum-
mer.
Said he:
"Instructions have been sent to the
Corps Area Commanders to submit
reports based on the ultimate cost OF
maintenance in comparison with the
value derivable from such utiliza-
ton. After hearing from these COM
manders the board will weigh the
evidence and submit its recommends
ton to the Secretary of War. AS this
will take about one month it is hard
ly probable that the status quo at
Camp Jackson will undergo more
than minor changes before the middle
Of December.
"Auction sale of the buildings at
Camp Jackson has been held in abey-
ance lending the outcome OF this
later Dian to suspend all salvage op-
erations. Some salvage material per-
tanning to certain cluster Of build
;rigs at Camp Jackson has been al
lott-d to Camp Bragg and removal of
this special portion is now going on.
but this has been so arranged as not
to interfere with utilizing the camp as
a whole should the new plan be
adopted, and these special shipments
to Camp Bragg will not affect the
major portion OF Camp Jackson
