THE INDIANAPOLIS TINES
TAXES SLUMP,
BUT CITY HIKES
LEVY FOR 1888
Comparison of Budgets
Shows S284,387 Drop in
Citizens Share.

Despite the 23.s cent increase ia
the city tax levy required by the
1888 budget submitted to the council
Tuesday, taxes to be paid by citizens
are 1924, 38774 less than in 1882,
comparison of the two budgets re-
vealed today.
A total of S6,877,21758 is to be
raised by taxation in 1888. while in
1882 the tax levy amount was ST.
161 ,605.32. Decreases in property
valuation and increased tax de-
hnquencies caused the boost, Of
f1cials said.
Remainder of the budget, to meet
the city's requirements of $7,466,-
533.71 estimated by Mayor Reginald
H. Sullivan and William L. Elder,
city controller, will come from the
unexpended balance this year and
from miscellaneous receipts such as
licenses and fees.
An estimated total of $685. ,920.30 is
expected to be received as the city's
share of the state gasoline tax, more
than three times the sum derived
from the tax this year.
Monopolize Gas Tax Fund
Practically the entire gasoline tax
fund will be utilized by the board
of works and the street commission
er's department, according to the
budget figures. The works board
will receive 1929, 34871 for resur-
facing and widening projects.
In the street commissioners de-
partment 1892, 64698 of the gas tax
will be used chiefly for salaries and
administrative expenses. The de-
partment of the city civil engineer
is allotted $23,74461 and the park
board $5O,15O.
Of the seventeen items of the
budget, fifteen totals were decreased
from last years amounts. An in
crease of S43,366.79 is shown in the
sanitation bond fund, and the city
sinking fund is raised $131 ,678.05.
The largest single reduction is
$222,51189 in the general fund. The
sanitation department is slasheo
S9O,89725 and the recreation de-
partment $23,395.75.
Departments Are Curtailed
IN a letter accompanying the
budget to the council, Sullivan
stated that the reductions had been
accomplished by salary reductions
which cut approximately Is per cent
from the total pay roll, elimination
of positions and transfers to various
funds of state gasoline tax money.
Explaining that suggestions had
been received to eliminate some de-
partments, Sullivan asserted that he
believed every branch of the admin
istration useful and necessary, and
that all have been continued, al
though curtailed"
Except for passage of an ordi-
nance setting Sept. II as the date
for salary cuts to become effective
the council took no budget approval
action at it's special meeting Tues
day.
Date for a special meeting Sept
II was set to enable representatives
of tax reduction organizations to
discuss the budget with the coun-
Gil. Final action will be taken Sept
10.

JOIN IN TEST CASE TO
FIGHT FARM VALUATIONS
Eleven Farm Bureau Organizations
to Take Part in Battle.

Eleven county farm bureau or
CARNATIONS will join, under leader
ship of the state farm bureau fed
Grafton, to test in the courts the
right of the state tax board to in
crease local farm land valuations.
Announcement of the test case
was made today by w. H. Settle,
president of the Indiana Farm
Bureau Federation.
After land is listed at its true
cash value" the state tax board has
no right to increase the valuation,
those bringing the suit will con-
tend.
Farmers and other property own
ers are bearing more than their
fair share of the cost of govern
ment in Indiana, and it is enough
that their holdings be taxed at their
true cash value and not be further
burdened with assessments repre-
senting more than their properties
are WORTH Settle said.
