Total Rate May Be SS.O7

With a probable increase Of S.2739
already announced by the school city
and an increase of 6 cents assured BY
the county, indianapolis north Of
Thirty-Eiehth St. will have to pay at
least a tax Of S3.07 on the 500. The
tax rae in Washington Township,
inside the city. was S2.73; the high
est Of any locality in Marion County.
Increases thus far made assure the
part Of the city lying east Of EN-

Of S3.04. an increase of approx
imately 36 cents. Irvington is IN

Indianapolis in Center and Perry
Townships are lucky, the increases
thus far indicated only amounting to
about % cents in each township.
On the basis Of school city and
county's figures. it seems probable
the Center rate will be at least $2.77
and Perry inside the city S2.SS.
The parts OF the townships lying
outside the city viii have a much
lower total tax levy, as they escape
the city taxation. The State. how
ever, has not fixed its share of the
1925 taxes. The present State rate
is 80 cents, and indications are the
levy must be raised. About the Cnly
decrease in sight is the cut Of the
civil city from S1OS75 to $1.055 for
1925.
