CUT IN STATE LEVIES URGED

Study Group Also Asks.

Freezing of Cash Surplus For the Duration.

The Indiana Tax Study committee today recommended the reduction of state property tax levies and the “freezing” of the state's unencumbered surplus cash.

The committee is composed of]

representatives of 28 farm, business, real estate and taxpayers’ organizations of the state. It also recommended the investment of the surplus in government bonds and the limiting of the state expenditures to current revenues. Committee members formulated its four-point program after a study of the state's fiscal conditions and the outlook in respect to state ““income and outgo” under wartime conditions. Balance Near 20

The group said the anticipated balance of the state at the close of the present fiscal year would be about $20,000,000. By the time the next legislature meets, the committee said, “it will be possible to make an accurate appraisal of such factors as the effect of the reduction of the gross income tax rate paid by retailers and of reduced consumer purchases on state revenues, as well as the possibilities of savings in state expenses through streamlining of services and operations in some state agencies to offset unavoidable increases in costs of other state agencies.”
