TAXPAYERS ARE WARNED TO READ PUBLICNDTICES State Budget Cut $11,221,880 Below Estimates in First Publications. Failure of taxpayers to shine up their spectacles and put their reading microscope on legal advertisements addressed to them daily, costs them money. This opinion was expressed by Harry Miesse, Indiana Taxpayers Association secretary, today as he urged home owners, farmers and business men to retrain from skipping over the six point type of the “legals” to reach their favorite comic strip or last night's bowling scores. “Some legal advertisements are of interest only to parties named in the suit, but whenever an advertisement is marked ‘Notice to Taxpayers’ it is of prime importance to all of them,” he said. “The legals may be printed in small type and not displayed prominently, but that does not detract from their importance. “Their very brevity,” he continued, “recalls the old expression that ‘precious things come in small packages.’ “Under Indiana law public officials are required to give notice of intention to spend public money. For that reason tax budgets are printed every autumn. The law provides that whenever additional appropriations are contemplated, they too, must be advertised. “These notices tell the time and place taxpayers may appear and be heard. These notices are lawful warning that public business is being transacted and all have a right to inquire into the proposed expenditures. “We urge the public to get into the habit of reading these announcements. Unless they become familiar with what their officials propose to do they will not be in a position to protest against unwise and unwarranted spending,” he declared. Mr. Miesse pointed out that after last fall’s budgets for Indiana, calling for an expenditure of $107,501,555, were published, $11,221,880 w r as cut from those budgets. “This was due largely to the fact that the people had a way, through legal advertising, to ascertain the extent to which officials planned to spend public money. If budgets had not been published it is doubtful if more than a small percentage of these reductions would have been made,” he concluded. Farmer Victim of Thieves Deputy sheriffs and state police today sought rural thieves who stole an auto, three butchered hogs and 12 gallons of lard from the farm home of Orville Taylor, Greenwood, last night. The hogs and lard were value at sllO.
