LEVY FOR CITY,
COUNTY MADE
BY TAX BOARD
School Budget Is SIashed;
Center Township to
Pay $2.64.

Indianapolis residents of Center
township will have a total tax rate
of $2.64 next year an increase, oven
the present rate of cents. Final
decision was reached on all budget
levies by the State tax board today.
indianapolis school city levy was
finally set by the board at $1.03, as
was first estimated. For some time
the board held out for $l02, but
abandoned the position this morn
ing. This means cut of $1,428,978
from the school budget of $10,5O0,-
600, for which a levy Of $1.45 was
asked.
Last year the levy was 81. Schools
so and 81 will be built under bond
issues, rather than from the levy
return, the board ordered. They
estimated the total tax saving on
the difference between the proposed
$1.45 levy and the $103 as being
$2,800,000.
Gravel Fund Is Cut
Civil city levy was slashed from
the proposed $1.085 to $1.025. This
years rate is $1.o4, the new rate
being a .015 cent decrease.
The board agreed with the county
council in cutting the gravel fund
from to 8 cents and additional
trimming brought it to .315 cents.
Proposed rate as certified by the
County Auditor vase .345 cents the
rate last year was 20 cents. The
new rate is an increase of .025.
Center township residents in the
city will pay .04 cents township taxes
and Warren .015. Total Warren
rate, for non-city residents, is SLIPS.
The State rate had already been
held at % cents, the same as at
present.
Taxpayers Appeal
Some of the difference In rates
set and proposed was attributed by
the board to the fact that they used
the valuation of 100000 rather
than $685., 1000, 900, the figure used by
the budget makers.
All levies were appealed to the
board by the Indiana Taxpayers As
sociation and William Book of the
civic affairs committee of the Cham
ber of Commerce presented figures
to aid in reductions.
In the city levy no provision is
made for increased salaries for fire
and policemen, according to Tax
Board Chairman John j. Brown.
This was one of the Chamber Of
Commerce objections.
