come Tax Division director, said total property taxes levied for collec tion in Marion County in 1932, prior tc the inauguration of the program, was $20,888,753.

tribution to local units, taxes collected by the State. According to the report, the State distributed $1,317,465.40 to schools in Marion County during the 1936-37 school year. Of [this amount, $1,077,250 was from the gross income tax: $169,529.8> from intangibles tax and
