CENT INCREASE
is EXPECTED IN
COUNTY TAXES
Budget Calls for 32.5 Levy
to Cover Sinking Fund,
Road Fund Boost.

An increase of 1 cent on each
500 valuation in the county tax
levy seemed likely today as Harry
Dunn, auditor, finished compila-
ton of tentative budgets.
Recommending a total of 1925
cents, or a l cent increase over
last year, Dunn will submit his es-
Inmates to the county council Sept.
4 for final approval, before going
to the State tax board
The boost is made up Of a one
half cent increase in the sinking
fund and one-half in the free
gravel road fund, both of which
still will be in a precarious f1nan-
cial position, Dunn said.
The figures released today are
for county expenses only. BY the
time the city rate of approximately
s115, the school levy, State and
other special levies are added, the
total Center township rate for next
year will be somewhat higher than
the 1894 of this year, it is believed.
Figures of Dunn are subject to
revision by the county council. and
councilmen'S knives are being
sharpened already in anticipation
of the cuts demanded at the an
nual budget meeting.
County estimates, as recommend
ed today to the council by Dunn,
are as follows. compared with this
year:
1929 1929
General fund ......,..,....s.l4 s.l45
Eree gravel roads .......... .o2s 65
T. B. hospital ............. OPS OPS
Total ........ ............s.315 s.325
The total to be raised for the
general fund is s1,469, 925. Subtract
from this the $4,000 estimated
income from certain Offices. and the
amount to be raised by taxation is
s1.159 065.
The 14.5-cent levy for general
found will raise $1,131, 1000, or ap-
proximately $4,000 less than the
anticipated needs. Dunn recon-
mends that the $4,000 be reduced
from the estimated expenditures
plus enough to account for the fail
ure of the treasurer to collect taxes
100 per cent.
Past experience has shown that
only about 95 per cent Of taxes are
collected. Therefore, unless the
council cuts far below the $4,000,
probably to 100000. there will be no
balance, causing the county to op-
crate on expensive short term loans.
The margin in the sinking fund
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-08-21

demands and income is just as
close, while the demands on this
fund cannot be altered. From it are
paid interest on outstanding indebt-
edness and Indebtedness at maturity.
The 1875 cent levy, or IS more than
last year, will bring il $975,000,
while the demands total 1914, 1905.
In an effort to avoid a deficit in this
fund at the end of the current fiscal
year, Dunn is having to transfer
funds from other departments.
The two funds passed on by the
county commissioners, Cassius l..
Hogle, George Snider and Charles
o. Sutton, are the free gravel road
and the sheriff's budget request
Both already have felt the knife.
Sheriff Omer Hawkins request for
sixteen additional deputies at $l,750
a year each, was cut out by the
commissioners, his budget remain
ing Just what it was last year, plus
one additional stenographer. The
total this year will be $4,000, while
last year it was s32,100.
The gravel road fund, although
now 5 more than last year, was cut
below what commissioners believe
It should be. Last year they sought
to make this figure 5 cents. but the
council cut it to 3, and the State
tax board even lower.
