Mayors Urged To Fight For Apportionment INDIANAPOLIS (UPl)—Mayors of Indiana’s largest cities today were urged to join in a bipartisan fight to gain reapportionment as the only way to solve many of their municipal problems. The appeal came from Michigan City Mayor Francis Fedder, cochairman of a panel discussion on problems of first, second and third class cities, at an Indiana Municipal League convention here today. “Whether we are Democratic or Republican, I hope you support reapportionment,” Fedder said. “That’s the answer to our problems since we haven’t got home rule. Our vote doesn’t count as much in the legislature as it should. This is a problem not only in Indiana but all over the United States.” Fedder complained that if a municipal official “makes a little mistake in complying with the board of accounts or something, we hear about it.” “But who tells the legislature they haven’t been abiding by the law for 41 years?” he asked. Cite Money Headaches The big city mayors discussed numerous questions, the biggest of which they conceded was money. Fred C. Wissman, executive secretary of the Indiana State Board of Tax Commissioners, said some municipalities seem to have a "habit of borrowing money” in order to function. But Indianapolis Mayor Albert Losche said “the only way we could go on a cash basis would be by doubling the tax rates.” He said the alternative would be to cut back many of the services which now are demanded by the public. “When I was a kid,” Losche said, “and it snowed we just waded through the snow. But now

you’ve got to get it off the streets right away. When I was a kid we skated on the ponds when they froze but now we have to have a skating rink—to hold down juvenile delinquency or something. "Doit-Youraelf” “The other day some woman called me and said a squirrel had been killed in the street and she wanted me to come out ami get it. So I told her to just get a shovel and pick it up herself.” Losche sat down to the applause of other mayors who apparently had had similar calls. Joseph Simeri, Mishawaka councilman, proposed that cities offer a 2 per cent discount to taxpayers who pay the full amount of their bill in the spring instead of waiting to pay the other half in the fall. He pointed out that business uses this inducement and that the additional funds paid in the spring could be invested for a gain he estimated at 1 per cent. The mayors discussed also the delay in property reassessment valuations past time to determine what the tax rate will be for next year. Delegates Tuesday stressed more home r ule and more tax revenue for smaller cities in the program they will submit to the 1963 Legislature. Three-Year-Old Boy Is Burned To Death CANNELBURG, Ind. (UPI) — Funeral services were held here today with burial at Loogootee for 3-year-old Eddie Joseph Truelove, who burned to death Monday night in a fire which destroyed a barn at the hoihe of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Truelove, near Cannelburg.
