‘Marion County taxpiyers’ wort have much longer to wait to know definitely how much their 1942 property tax rates will be. THe State Tax Board yesterday ended two" days of public hearings

local -governmentat units and took fthem under advisement.

The Board is expected to fix all the 1942 Governmental rates within the next few days. ane action of the State Board will be final, ending the long process through which the budgets have gone since they originated in their respective units. As a whole, the hearings were quiet, little . opposition to the budgets comihg from ‘representatives of taxpayers’ groups except in the case of the Indianapolis city budget. =) a Deficit Hem “Assailed C. R. Benjamin, former member of-the State Tax Board and now representing the Indiana. Farm Bureau, asked the State. Board to disallow the city’s proposal to wipe out a $500,000 deficit by direct taxation in 1942.

He said this would enable the Board ‘to slice nine cents from the record-breaking = City budget of $1.43. The City tax rate this year is $1.26. , Carl Dortch of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce also asserted that there was no need for levying taxes to wipe-out the existing deficit. He said that this could be taken care of by surpluses resulting from savings and from the increased City revenués coming from the new cafeteria court., The court is said to be turning $3000 a week into the City coffers. |

Mayor Defends Budget

Mr. Dortch. said the City rate could “safely ‘be cut 5% cents.”

payers Association also protested the high tax rate and pointed to several places where he believed cuts could be made.

Mayor Sullivan defended the budget and told the State Board that no more money was being sought by taxation than was needed to run the City. He did not ask for a restoration of the 3-cent cut in the City budget

ment Board and Thomas A. Moynahan, a member of the County Board, said he believed the rate as fixed by the County body was necessary to give Indianapolis the type of government it wanted.”
