the Boxer rebellion.

the western powers have all sided with Chinese instead

By WILLIAM III. BOOK
Director Civic Affairs

The campaign for local tax econ
omy in Indianapolis in 1927, led b,N
the civic affairs committee OF the
indianapolis Chamber of Conn.,
merce, has resulted in eliminating
from 1928 budgeted appropriations
more than S6,05O,OOO. Indianapoliea
taxpayers will pay just that mucLl
less in taxes in 1928 than would
have been required if the originaN
proposals of local taxing officials
had been adopted
The savings amount to "a cents
on each 500 of taxable property
Translated into actual taxes they
mean saving of $94 next year for
the man who owns property as
sesSed at $4,000
The civic affairs committees part
of the task was in the close scrutiny
of all budget proposals 1t sub
mitted recommendations for econ
omieS to all the local taxing officials
and continued to press these recon-
mendations before the local legisla-
tive bodies and the State board Of
tax commissioners.
No other specific recommended
tons for economies were submitted
at any stage of budget procedure
except those submitted by this de-
partment.
In addition to its budget work for
1928, the civic affairs department
made a study of the proposed tax
refunds which gave much light on
the subject and enabled the bring
ing of litigation to prevent the re-
funds.
1t made a survey of all proposed
capital improvements by the civil
city, and will follow up on this
work in 1928, with the hope OF
bringing about a definite f1ve-year
or ten-year program of improve
ments taking into account all the
city's needs, and its ability to pay
for the Improvements.
1t aided the police and fire civil
service commissions during their
existence and now is urging rein
statement and extension of civil
service to all municipal departments
1t successfully championed legis-
lation to take from the county
treasurer interest on Barrett law
proponents, which the treasurer
has been keeping.

Insurance Records Shoe
Business Conditions Good

to represent the foreign and domeS-
tic companies.
Reserve Law Protection
Under the provisions of the Indi-
ana legal reserve deposit law there
are deposited in the office of the
commissioner of insurance in ap-
proved securities an amount equal
to the cash surrender value OF the
policies in force, and at the close of
the year there was in the cutody of
the department in such securities
500, 772 ,970.79; and in addition to
this there is approximately SIS, 00O,-
0)o00 in loans to policyholders.
The greater portion of these secur-
tiles are owned by the fourteen In
diana legal reserve life insurance
companies, all of which do business
under the compulsory deposit law
and must maintain reserves III ac-
cordance Herewith.
The prosperous condition of insur-
ance companies has a wholesome eff
feet upon other classes of business.
1t may be seen from the above that
it is necessary for the companies to
invest their assets in different Secur-
tiles and they are not only a safe
guard to the insurance business it
self, but they become a stabilizing
factor in every line of endeavor.
Examined Each Third Year
The department was made a sep
arate department in 1919; before that
time it had been under the super
vision of the auditor The depart
ment consists of a commissioner,
deputy commissioner, actuary and
fourteen other employees.
An examination Of all Indiana
companies is made at least once in
three years and supervisory atti-
tude is taken over all of the Indiana
companies so that their solvency
may be maintained and the policy
holders protected.
During 1927 there has not been
an insurance failure With the CO.
operation of all those engaged in
the insurance business, the commits
sioner feels that the year 1923 will
be as successful in this field as was
the year 1927.
