The body of Judge Gary was

cago and out along the country
road that leads to the scene Of his
boyhood.
A throng of Chicago citizens and
many laborers from the vast steel
mills at Gary. Ind. were gathered
at the New York Central Station
as the body was removed from a
special section of the Twentieth
Gentry limited and placed in a
waiting funeral coach to be taken
to Wheaton, Ill.
Without pomp or circumstance
the short procession started for
Wheaton, forty miles west of Chi
cago, where the body is to lie in
state in the Gary Memorial Meth
odist Church-a church which the
steel chief erected as memorial
to his parents.

hold two statutory Offices. Although
the city superintendency is rot a
statutory Office, the State board Of
education membership Miller holds
as city superintendent is, Gilliom
said. The State superintendent also
is member of the State board.

TAX RATE OF
S4.O31 A S1OO
IS INDICATED
Proposed City, State and
County Levies Reach
High Total.
REFUND IS BIG ITEM
Citizens Outside Center
Township viii Pay Frac-
ton of Cent Difference.

indianapolis taxpayers living ir
Center township will pay a tax rate
of $4.031 on each 500 of taxable
property in 1923, if proposed city
State and county levies are ap-
proved. City taxpayers living ir
other townships will pay a rate q
fraction of cent higher or lower
according to the levy of their town
ships. The present total Center
rate is $2.62.
This loomed today when County
Auditor Harry Dunn completed the
county budget and said he would
ask a 40-cent levy from county
council, with an additional 13-cent
levy for the county's 1,034,358 share
of the horizontal tax raise refund.
Refund Included
A total of $1.14 of the levy In
Center Township is sought to make
refunds to taxpayers due refunds
because of the horizontal tax in
crease of 1919, 1920 and 1921.
County officials plan to go ahead
with the refund unless court action
stops it. The Indiana Taxpayers
Association is to start the court
proceedings soon. Dunn. however,
declared there is little chance the
refund will be stopped.
There is a possibility that the ten
tative figure may go as high as
$413.1. 1t is understood from school
board members that the school city
will try to get $1.10 tax levy. The
$4.03.1 estimate is based on the
present school levy of 81.
The State rate probably will be
raised from % to 25 cents, accord
ing to Philip zoercher, State tax
board member. The city is asking
$l9s, representing a 15.s-cent in
crease over 1927.
Other items of the $4.03 figure are
cent for Center Township, 2 cents
each for poor relief and for road
maintenance.
With taxable property in the
county valued at $756,581,510, the
$4.031 rate will bring more than
$3,049, ,023 into county Golfers.
Under the 1927 rate of $2.62 the
total was $1,982,243.
Protests Expected
1t is not believed any part oi
the various budgets will pass with
out protest by the Indiana Taxpay-
ers' Association. Harry Miesse, as
ISOLATION secretary, said substantial
SlaShes will be asked.
Many increases are being sought
in the county budget. 1t is pro-
posed to use 18 cents of the total
for the county fund, to bring in
$1,394,481 as compared to the 1875
cents which brought in $1,025, ,567
for 1927.
The sinking fund rate is to be
increased from 1915 cents to- Is
cents.
Purpose of increasing the sinking
fund is to pay off the last 100000
owed on the Court House and TO re-
issue under ten-year plan $229, 600
worth of bridge bond sissued in 1903
and pay for the $350,000 worth of
buildings erected at Sunnyside Tu-
beculosis Sanitarium.
The free gravel road fund, which
is for the maintenance of roads, has
been boosted from 3 to cents and
the tuberculosis fund from is cents
to cents.
Dunn, however, reduced to $751;
900 request for $251,0 for opera
ton of Sunnyside tuberculosis San

amnesty to those who would dis
arm, but so far had received no
response.
