SLIGHT CHANCE
SEEN TO CHOP
COUNTY LEVY
Actual Figures Arr Only
29.5, According to c. of C.
Expert.

Slight possibility exists of making
marked reductions in the 80 cent Ma
rion County tax levy proposed by
County Auditor Harry Dunn, accord
ing to Leonard v. Harrison, secre-
tary of the civic affairs committee of
the Indianapolis Chamber of Com
merce.
Harrison pointed out that while on
the face there apparently was an in
crease of 5.5 cents over the present
levy in Dunn's figures, that as a
matter of acutal fact there was no
such increase. He said that money
amounting to almost a three-cent
levy had been appropriated by the
County Council this year in addition
to money raised by the 26.5 cent
levy, bringing the actual figures to
almost 29.5 cents for this year.
Track elevation, general election
and provision for five new court
rooms, will necessitate additional ex-
penditures in 1926, he said
He said 1t might be possible 20
reduce the Scent levy for track ele-
walton. The couptys share of this
work will amount to $2SS,000 an
nually for period Of ten years.
