SLIGHT CHANCE SEEN TO CHOP COUNTY LEVY h T Figures An Only 29.5, According to C. of C. Expert. Slight possibility exists of making marked reductions in the 32 cent Marion County tax levy proposed by County Auditor Harry Dunn, according to Leonard V. Harrison, secretary of the civic affairs committee of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce. Harrison pointed out that while on the face there apparently was an increase of 5.5 cents over the present levy in Dunn's figures, that as a matter of acutal fact there was no such increase. He said that money amounting to almost a three-cent levy had been appropriated by the County Council tuis year in addition to money raised by the 26.5 cent levy, bringing the actual figures to almost 29.5 cents for this year. Track elevation, general election and provision for five new court rooms, will necessitate additional expenditures in 1926, he said. He said it might be possible to reduce the 3-cent levy for track elevation. The county’s share of this work will amount to $288,000 annually for a period of ten years.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

PARK BOARD TO LAUNCH DEFENSE OF 8-CENT LEVY Jarvis Named as Lobby Head to Go Before City Council. Park commissioners will start a drive to induce city council to allow the levy for 1926 to remain at 8 cents, instead of reducing it to 7 cents, as had been proposed by a number of councilmen. R. Walter Jarvis was designated as head of the lobby to deal with a council committee, headed by John E. King, now considering the 1926 levy. South side citizens have been favored by the park board, Emsley W. Johnson, acting president, declared and added that the board had no intention of acquiring additional ground in 1926. The increase of 1 cent, requested over the 1925 allowance, will be spent on the south side, Sarah Shank golf course and playgrounds in Haughville and Brightwood, according to Johnson, Frank P. Manly and Jarvis stressed the necessity of obtaining additional funds to build comfort stations to replace those, demned by State and city health departments. The board let contracts totaling over $91,000 for improvement of the north drive of Pleasant Run Blvd., Shelby to Prospect Sts., and a section of Kessler Blvd., from Crow’s Nest bridge to the canal. Edward E. Mcßride, recreation director, announced that municipal theaters will close Saturday and city school playgrounds Aug. 29.

HOPE FOR BROAD RIPPLE Extra Firemen May be Sent There Shank Suggests Refusal of city council to appropriate money for a ladder trbek company at Broad Ripple and the failure of provision for it to be made in the 1926 budget may be overcome by assembling a force of firemen from extra men at other stations, it was indicated today.
