ZOERCHER. HITS FUND TRANSFER EVIL IN COUNTY Protests Against Tax Levies 'Heard by State Board — Officials Answer, Protests against Marion County, Center, Washington, Yv'ayne and Perry Townships and the school city tax levies were heard by the State tax hoard today. The school city levy question took up the afternoon session. No decision was reached by the tax board, although the attitude of its members indicated that cuts may he made in county and township levies. The county levy hearing was continued Tuesday at 9:30 a. m. after more than an hour had been devoted to it. Throughout the hearing Philip Zoercher, commissioner, protested repeatedly against the practice of transfering funds. “What good is a budget law going to do.” he said, "if the funds can be shifted around at will?” Harry Dunn, Marion County auditor, said that if the present appropriations are expended, the county will face "* deficit of about ?29,000 by Jan.. “Stop When Broke” Zoercher insisted that when funds* were exhausted expenditures should cease. “If that is done, then persons to whom’ the county owes money will go into court and obtain mandates compelling payments,” Russell J. Ryan, county attorney, said. He said $64,000 had been paid under mandates this j’ear. The point of attack of renjonstrators to the twenty-eight cent county levy was the four and one-half-cent levy for gravel road maintenance. Leonard V. Harrison, representing the Chamber of Commerce, insisted this could be cut one cent, without detriment to the 1,100 miles of paved roads in Marion County. The levy asked would raise $327,600. “This seems like a large amount,” Will Hough, commissioner, said. “No county in the State spends anything like that. Discussion of township levies centered largely about the payment of transfer fees at school children from township to city schools. Attempt to ‘‘Get Back” Apparently the situation got down to an attempt of the townships to "get back” at the city for annexing county schools without payment to the townships by making the city part of the township bear a large part of the burden of transferring outside students. Representatives of the Indiana Taxpayers Association objected to this. Township officials declared that when their schools were taken by the city it was only fair that township pupils should have transfer fees paid. These transfers ran from $2,000 in Perry to about $20,000 in Washington Township. Cost of high school education in Washington Township has increased more than 50 per cent since Broad Ripple High School was annexed by the city, Charles Dawson, Washington Township trustee, said. Cost Is Higher ‘‘The last year of township administration it cost slls a pupil to operate the Broad Ripple High School. It now costs $160,” he said. The school city levy of $1.04 was attacked by remonstrators at the afternoon session and vigwrousiy defended by school ocials. Chief objection centered upo nthej 8-cent levy for a west side high! school. The remonstrators insisted! this should be built by bond issue! To do this would reduce the margiij of bonded indebtedness to MM danger point, school officials saSsßij
