STATE RULING ON (ITY FUND SHIFT DUE TOMORROW
Departments Seek $34,000 To Meet Expenses in Excess of Budget.
The State Tax Board is expected to rule tomorrow on whether the City can appropriate $34,485.98 from its general fund to pay expenses incurred by departments in excess of their 1938 budget allowances. City Controller James E. Deery said the Board could overrule the appropriation if it “sticks to the letter of the law” which mandates departments to stay within their budgets, The approptiation has been approved by City Council. About $19,815 of the requested appropriation is to enable the Legal Department to pay judgments rendered figainst the City last year, The remaining $14,870.98 would be distributed among various other departments which accumulated more debts last year than they could pay. The Works Board is asking for $8431.98 to redeem unpaid utility bills for which a total of $747,000 was budgeted. With a total of $3200 budgeted for repairs to public buildings, fuel and ice and institutional and medical care, the Board went into the red $938.17. Advertising and printing expenses fheurted by the Board were $1385.36 above the $2500 budgeted for these ftems, The City Clerk's office spent $237.32 mote than the $3250 budgeted for communication and transportation and printing and advertising.

However, I don't feel the amounts by which allowances were exceeded is gieater than usual” All City Departments will begin subinitting their 1940 budget requirements on June 1, Mr. Deery said.

SEEK CLOSE TAX
CHECK ON GEMS
Assessors Want Law Revised to Add Half Million To Valuation Lists.
Marion County township as gessors will ask the next session of the Legislature to correct a flaw in the State's tax laws through which, they say, nearly a half million dollarg in diamonds and jewelery an= nually escape taxation, Center Township Assessor James Ff. Cunningham sald a group will seek to amend laws to require registration ef valuables. The laws do not now empower assessors to make exhaustive gearches of residential premises nor give them access to pank vaults where 00 per cent of the gems are
kept. , It is because these “rich deposits of valuables are not tapped by the assessor that Mr. Cunningham said he has ordered his deputies to secure tax Geciafation on all other ersonal property. Pp Under these orders nearly 1000 property assessment lists have been returned to property owners be cause they were considered “too low.”
