3O-CENT COUNTY
LEVY WASTEFUL,
STATES PETITION
Taxpayers Ask Appeal on
1927 Rate-Presented
to Auditor.

A petition signed by fifteen Mar
ion County taxpayers for an appeal
from the 30-cent tax levy for 1927
fixed by county authorities was filed
with County Auditor Harry Dunn
today by Howard Maxwell of the
Maxwell Gravel Company. Dunn
said the petition will be certified and
presented before the State tax board
for a hearing.
Dunn characterized the petition as
a personal grievance" of Maxwell,
who has taken an active part in the
war between travel and stone in
terests in Marion County during the
past two years.
Obtained Blank
Dunn said Maxwell endeavored to
influence the Indiana Taxpayers AS
ISOLATION to demonstrate, but that
organization refused to recognize
any grounds for such action. Dunn
said officers Of the tax association,
however, gave Maxwell a petition
blank upon which is required names
of taxpayers indorsing the appeal.
The 1927 tax levy is two cents
lower than the levy fixed for this
year. Dunn declared that Maxwell
has several times taken part in re-
monstrance against bond issues for
improved county roads.
Not Economical Charge
Dunn said Maxwell opposed i'm
provement for roads on grounds that
the county engineer refused to make
the specifications so that local gravel
men could compete with crushed
stone interests.
The appeal stated, 1--WE object to
the tax levies as fixed by the local
officers for the reason that the
amounts to be collected on the levies
SO fixed are more than Government
economically administered war
rants" Maxwell is a member of the
Marion County Gravel Association.
An appeal must be signed by at least
ten taxpayers, Dun said.
