Told About Washington

COLUMBUS, Ind, Sept, 10
Washington, city out of debt, and
which has reduced its tax rate for
next year by more than so per cent,
was the subject of Taylor E. Gron-
niger, former corporation counsel
of the city Of Indianapolis, in an adj
dress at a session Of the Indiana
Municipal Leagues annual conven-
ton here Thursday night.
Directing praise to Mayor John
w. McCarty of Washington, the
speaker said:
"On behalf of thousands of over
brdened taxpayers and political
boss-ridden voters of Indiana, ap-
preciative of your long years of
honest and competent service, 1
congratulate you on the remarkable
and noteworthy achievement of
freeing your city of debt and re-
ducing its tax levy by better than
so per cent"
AssaiIs Political Machines
Deploring the operation of many
cities by political machines, Gron-
niger pointed out that Mayor Nc
Carly, Democrat. has been elected
five times in city which casts Re-
publican majorities in national and
state elections. At the end of his
present term, McCarty will have
been mayor twenty years.
His election to Office each term"
the speaker continued, is not pro-
cured by copper riveted' political
machine and therefore, it has not
been necessary to create useless and
expensive jobs in order that faith
full political workers, precinct and
ward committeeman be rewarded.
This may be bad for the pay roll
patriots, who, by the way, are legion
in this fair land of ours, but their
loss is certainly the taxpayers gain"
Mayor mccarthy, the speaker
pointed out, has spent more than
100000 on street building during
his various administrations, and "in
every instance has let street i'm
provement contracts to the lowest
bidder, regardless of the political
affiliations of the bidders"
Street Making Cheaper
Groninger declared that in Wash
ington asphalt streets are being
built at cost of $240 per square
yard, while other Indiana cities un-
der practically the same specifica-
lions are paying from 1925 to $3.42.
Washington has a municipality
owned electric light and power
plant and street car system. Gron-
niger pointed out that plant was
bought thirty years ago for S83,29I,
and that the city's investment in it
today is $550,745. all paid from
earnings. He related how the city
transferred $4,000 from the plant
fund to purchase stock in manu-
featuring company so that it could
enlarge its factory, providing en-
plOyment for 400 persons.
This year, Groninger said, the city
had a Zip tax rate; next year it
will be 40 cents. He believes that in
a short time it will not be necessary
to levy any city tax, basing the
prediction on plans of Mayor Nc
Carly for a municipality owned
water plant. Groninger predicts that
earnings of these city-owned util-
tiles will be sufficient to pay ex-
penses Of the municipality without
resort to taxation.
