Auditor Makes Estimate on Basis of Expected Costs; ]

-~ Harry Miesse Charges Public Officials ~~

~ With ‘Spending. as Usual.’ The tax rate necessary to raise ‘the proposed 1943

gounty budget government funds was today estimated by County Auditor Glenn B. Ralston at about 511% cents, an increase of 51% cents over the present levy. A request of $280,000 for re-assessment of real estate

next year and about $200,000 for salary: increases made|

the estimated levy for the county: general fund 24 cents compared to 191% cents this year.’ :

County councilmen-have indicated they will eliminate the property re-assessment fund, which would bring the 1943 rate to about the same

as this year. | - While - this estimate was- being made, Harry Miesse, executive secretary of the Indiana Taxpayers as-

lic to protest unnecessary levys proposed by public officials who he aid are still “spending as usual.” ““Since many officials remain unmoved by our urgent pleas for economy,” he said, “Indiana taxpayers should exert their right to attend public hearings-and protest against unnecessary e ditures.” Mr. Miesse declared that they had better use their power now bef ‘cause “throughout the state officeholders dre preparing to continue spending the public's money as

dollar taken for local expenses means that much less available or .buying war bonds.” The estimated increase in’ the county rate is offset by a 10 per cent cut in the Center Sownspip poor relief rate.

~ “There Is a Limit”

Inciuded in the proposed county rate of 5112 cents is the 17%-cent levy for the county welfare department, an increase of one cent over this year; four cents for sinking fund, up one-half cent; one cent flood control; four cents for tuberculosis hospital, and one-half cent

All rates in the county this year will be held down further by an increase of $27,000,000 in: property valuations. One centr on the tax rate will bring in $65,700 next year. This year one cent on the tax rate Yeturned $63,300. Although Mr. Miesse declared that federal taxes “are to be sky

“There is ga limit, however, to the resources of the taxpayers and if too much of the dollar is taken away on the home front there will be less left with which to meet the

evaded or postponed,” he said. Mr. Miesse said that economy at

is seeking new employees and there is no reason why any person who is physically fit should remain on welfare rolls, he said, and added:

parents, if financially able to do so, and enforcement of this law would take hundreds of elderly persons oft relief. It is. a common thing to learn that a lazy husband has-been ordered by the court to support his

just as much law to force lazy children to support their parents and thus end a type of relief that in some communities is little less than a public scandal.” - “All forms of relief; should show a decrease next year,” he declared.

Cites Center's Record

He pointed out that the -trustee of Center township, ‘where the heart of Indianapolis is located, has enough money left over to see him through relief expenditures next year. He said that the Center township trustee ‘would not ask for a cent in taxes and that it was an indication of what can be done elsewhere in Indiana. He advocated the prompt collection of interest on school . fund loans and asked that an effort be made to retire the oustanding loans. He pointed out that since construction of new buildings will not be possible and equipment is virtually off the market because of war demands, “there is little need for budgets to contain capital outlays for next year.” He said property taxes ought'to go down since valuations of taxable property and tax collections are up, but, he declared, “no savings will be made unless the people watch the budgets and make certain that waste is eliminated.” Total collections in gasoline taxes and other automobile fees may show a loss this year, he said, but he also pointed out that cities, |} towns and counties, will have’ as much to spend on streets and roatls as they had this year since. the amount appropriated to municipalities is fixed by law.
