DECATUR'S TAX UNCHANGED IN PROPOSED LEVY Civil City Tax Rate Remains Unchanged At Forty Cents The city budget is published on page two of this Issue. Decatur’s civil city tax rate, payable in 1936 will not be increased, despite increases in the budget, which include adequate appropriations for material for street repair and sewer construction under a WPA program. The saving to taxpayers is made possible through cash donations from the electric and water departments of the City Plant. The electric department will contribute $4,000 and the water department, SI,OOO towards the budget. The proposed rate, payable next year is 40 cents on the hundred dollars, based on a net property valuation of $4,418,887. The 40cent levy aJso applies this year. The 40-cent rate is expected to produce $17,675.54. The budget .totals $32,165.54, the balance of the money necessary to operate the city government and various departments coming from revenue other than taxation. Every source of income which the city can expect next year was tajten into consideration in compiling the budget. These items inielude: State gas tax, $5,200; state excise tax, $1,500; coal unloading, $1,500; miscellaneous income, licenses and fines, $400; poll ’tax. $890; donation by electric department, $4,000; donation by water department, $1,000; totaj income, o her than taxes, $14,490. Excise Tax Lower Last year the state estimated the city should receive in 1935 a total of $2,750 from -the excise tax. i The estimate was used in compiling the budget for 1935. The legis- ; latuTe changed the law regarding the distribution of the tax and the ; city will receive nearer $1,500 than $2,750. The matter was taken up with the excise department and icity officials were advised to estimate the excise income on the basis of 66 2-3 per cent of all local retail beer, wine and liquor licenses. At present these license fees 'will bring the city approximately $1,250. In the budget the income from excise tax is listed at $1,500, the estimate including additional licenses for 1936. Coal Hauling Cost Cut The cost of hauling coal from the Pennsylvania tracks on Seventh street was reduced by the council from 20 cents to 15 cents per ton, estimated on 10,000 tons per year. The street department of the civil city hauls the coal for the utility and will receive payment on -the basis of 15 cents per ton. Police Car Included Included in the appropriations (PONTINTTED on PAGE FIVE) l o Berne School City Budget Increased An increase of 65 cents on the SIOO will be asked in the proposed budget for 1936 for the Berne school city. The new levy would be $1.25 ! while 60 cents is the rate now in effect. The proposed budget for 1935-36 totals $28,723.75, a decrease of $6.260.42 from the 1929-1930 school year and an increase of $1,054.03 i over the last school year. Berne school officials -predict that ■ if the levy is cut below $1.25 it will I be necessary for the school city to borrow money to complete the term. Lowered asessmente and the exhaustion of reserves and surpluses ; were given as the reason or the 1 increase.
