BUDGET SLASH
AIDS UTILITIES
IN RATE GOUGE
City Crippled in Fight to
Protect Citizens From
Exorbitant Costs.
SCHOOLS ALSO SUFFER
Many Civic Employees to
Lose Jobs as Result of
Action.
SCHOOLS ALSO SUFFEF

Members of the state tax board
have made a major contribution to
indianapolis unemployment and to
thwarting of the peoples fight
against utility slashes, by reducing
the city budget levy 2 cents.
At the same time, they took
charge of ref1nancing of the citys
schools and cut the school city
budget 6 cents.
The new city rate is $1.06 and the
school rate $101. Both may be ap-
pealed to the courts in an effort
to curb state dictation and re-estab-
lish local government control.
Slashes were made late Tuesday
at the behest of the Indiana Tax
payers Association, of which Harry
NIiesse is secretary, and by whom
son of Chairman James E. Sho-
walter of the state tax board is en-
ployed.
Hamper Utility Fight
Other members of the state board
who dictated the new local budgets
are Philip zoercher and Pliny VOL
fard.
They cut $4,000 from Mayor Reg
inald H. Sullivan's contingency fund
of $4,000, which was to be used in
the city administration fight to re-
duce utility rates.
In addition, they made pay roll
cuts totaling 5000 which city Off
Gals say will necessitate throwing
more men out of work and adding
to the unemployment and poor re-
lief problem here.
These cuts we're $4,000 from the
salary appropriation in the office or
the city civil engineer, $4,000 from
temporary salaries in the street de-
partment, and $4,000 from the park
department pay roll.
Other Departments Cut
The 2-cent city levy reduction
comprises total cuts of $4,000 from
the park department levy and $685.
900 from other branches of munich
PAL gON6IIlIIl61lI.
Mayor Sullivan contends that the
slashes seriously will handicap hope
for utility rate reductions, increase
unemployment, and force neglect OF
city park properties.
Five cents of the Scent reduction
in the school city levy was made in
the sinking fund, which will force
refunding of outstanding bond is
sues in line with the Indiana Tax
payers Association ideas. The as
ISOLATION receives support from rail-
roads, Miesse being a tax agent for
the New York Central, where this
form of ref1nancil;g prevails.
The remaining l cent was cut
from the scvhool budget by slicing
ST. 1875 from the various appropria-
tons.
Proves Boards Contention
President Russell Wilson of the
school board pointed out that the
fact that only a 1-cent cut could be
made in all budget items proved the
boards contention that its budget
had been cut to the bone.
He doubts if the law provides for
cutting the sinking fund, and ex-
pected to confer today with at
torneys and other board members.
Mayor Sullivan also has scheduled
conference, contemplating the
matter of appeal, with the city legal
department.
AS local rates now stand the city
is $1.06; school, 95 cents; county.
% cents; state, % cents; Wayne
township, $2.798; Warren, $2.674:
