Gross Income Surtax Favored To Aid Cities INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — City officials from throughout Hoosierland were agreed today on a gross income surtax for cities and towns instead of higher property taxes as a means of providing more local revenue. The Indiana Municipal League voted in favor of a resolution Tuesday which “approves in principle the levy of a gross income surtax by the state of Indiana, the proceeds of which should be allocated and paid exclusively to the cities and towns. “The property tax, as a source of income to cities and towns, has reached a point of saturation and should no longer be looked to as the primary source for meeting the financial needs of cities and towns,” the resolution stated. The resolution was one of 25 approved by the delegates. The major tenor of the resolutions was lack of money and lack of means of getting it. One of the resolutions passed by Hoosier mayors and other municipal officials renewed a demand • for some cigaret tax receipts, all of which now go to the state. Handley Indicates Approval Governor Handley in his opening address appeared to agree that that the income surtax was a remedy for municipal financial ills. He said he favored the surtax, if the local residents wanted In other opening-day activity at the two-day meeting, officials elected Mishawaka Mayor Albert L. Doyle president succeeding Lafayette Mayor Kenneth R. Snder. Mayor Evan Crawley of GreenI castle and Mayor Thomas L. Lemon of Bloomington were' named vice presidents; Ivan H. Brinegar, Bedford, secretarytreasurer, and Sylvia A. Sapirie, Indianapolis, recording secretary. Named directors were Indianapolis Mayor Charles H. Boswell, Richmond Mayor Roland H. Cutter, LaPorte Mayor Everett A. Koomler, Connersville Mayor Roy L. Haley Jr., Crown Point Mayor Marvin G. Erlenbach and Brookville Clerk-Treasurer Donald M. Russell. - Toll Belt Lines The municipal officials suggested toll road superhighways m and around cities as a possible solution to the shortage of highway construction funds. They approved a resolution “favoring legislation to authorize the construction of thruways and freeways, to be paid for by borrowed funds derived through bond issues to be retired by the collection of an annual gasoiine tax or wheel tax, or by toll.” Hie League reaffirmed its support of legislative reapportionment “as one of the principle planks” of its program. It also called for “preparation and adoption of a new comprehensive cities and towns act” noting that “numerous inconsistent, piecemeal, conflicting and special acts have been passed by the Legislature since 1905, resulting in a confusing hodge podge of statutes on municipal law which are difficult to work with and. impossible to rely upon.” Other resolutions would: Set up a city inspection of motor vehicles and collect a fee for the inspections. Prepare a 1961 bill which would authorize cities to retain certain fines assessed for violation of traffic regulations which now go to the state. Favor legislation creating a town court with a judge to be named by the town board. Call for a metropolitan study commission to be formed by the 1961 Legislature, and also to gain reassessment of real estate. Oppose the Indiana Public Service Commission’s plan for having municipally owned water works pay for extensions to newly developed areas. Game Called CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (UPD— Since 1868 Harvard and Yale have played 228 baseball games. Only one of them ended in a tie—l-1 in 11 innings in 1905.
