PUBLIC WILL TELL VIEWS ON BUDGET
City Council Will Hold Formal Hearing at 7:30 Tonight.
Taxpayers will have an opportunity ‘to express their views on the $8.700.000 municipal budget for next year at a formal public hearing to be conducted in City Council chambers at 7:30 o'clock tonight. The Council last night finished its study of non-salary items in the budget and began considering the approximately $550,000 in salary increases for the various departments. While only negligible reductions have been made thus far in the Municipal budget, the County Council yesterday pared another cent from the proposed 1942 County
tax rate, reducing it to 45 cents—| which is 2 cents higher than the]
current rate. Budget requests presented to the County Council would have required a 51.56 cents rate.
Formal adoption of the County]
budget and levy will not be taken until after a public hearing Sept. 2.
Hear Salary Pleas
City Councilmen last night heard department heads explain their reasons for asking salary increases for employees, but no definite stand was taken. Councilman Ernest C. Ropkey, finance committee chairman, pointed out that commitments had been made to increase wages of lower paid hourly workers and police and firemen in the lower brackets. Council President Joseph G. Wood replied that it was neither good policy nor good politics to provide horizontal increases for all City employees. He added that he didn’t think “anyone expects us to approve this budget as it is submitted,” and “I don’t believe this budget was pared as it was before it reached us a year ago.”
County Budget Slashed
The Chamber of Commerce has sent to all its members a bulletin asserting that “whether or not property taxes in this community next year will be higher or lower depends now almost exclusively
upon decisions of the City Council.”}
The proposed municipal tax rate for next year is 8149-23 cents higher than this vear’s rate. Reductions effected in the budget thus far would permit reduction of only 1 cent in the levy. Unless further cuts are made by the City Council, the total rate for residents of Indianapolis in Center Township will climb from the present $321 to $3.34. County Council has cut nearly half a million dollars from the various departmental requests. The requested 5156 cents rate was cut to 46 cents last week. The Council met again this week and yesterday, cut a half cent from the sinking | fund and another half cent from|: the the Tuberculosis Hospital fund. |
Control Gas Funds 4%
At the same time, the Council took steps to hold control over| spending of the more than $400.000 | gasoline taxes to be received by the| County next year. Ordinarily these funds are lumped | by County Commissioners in the County Highway budget. This year the Council permitted cnly a portion of the gasoline tax funds to be budgeted for next year, forcing the Commissioners to come before Council during the year for addi-

Convention Votes Today The convention was to vote on resolutions during today’s sessions and it was regarded as possible that it would adjourn the business sessions of the convention this afternoon, a half day ahead of schedule. Dr. Elliott S. Denny, health head at Mooseheart, reported yesterday that because of periodic physical examinations of all children there, there was not a serious case of respiratory disease at the home all last winter, a winter characterized by an epidemic of such infections elsewhere. He said that each child was isolated for two weeks as he entered the home, and was given immunization for scarlet fever, smallpox, whooping cough and diphtheria. Not a single case of these diseases has been recorded at the home except where the immunization was given too late to entering children.
Salmon Is Out For Navy Diets
WASHINGTON, Aug. 28 (U. P.). —The Navy today eliminated canned red salmon and asparagus from sailors’ diets. They cost too much. Rear Admiral Ray Spear said bids on asparagus were 21 cents a pound, twice as high as a year ago. Bids for supplying salmon fell far short of needs and the prices were too high.
