Tabulation of tentative rates for all taxing units today revealed that residents in all but two Marion county areas will be paying less property taxes in 1943 than for many years. Reductions ranging as much as 55 cents per $100 property valuation have been made throughout most of the county. The only two spots where taxes: will be higher are in Decatur and Washington townships for those taxpayers . living outside the city limits.

harvest will be drawing to a close. The yield this year is pretty high, according to Albert Holbrook, who operates a sorghum mill at Ray's Crossing in Shelby county.

It Has More Juice

“The wet weather gave the cane more juice this year, although it isn’t as high in sugar content as ordinarily,” he said. But ‘the sorghum will be Just as good as ever, he said, All they'll have to do is to boil the syrup a little longer and the finished sorghum will be the same.

Board: members said that a pdssage of a. law making possible the drafting of 18. and 19-year-old youths would ease the manpower situation in the board area for several months—that is, if the cally are maintained at the present rate. There is about an average number of registrants of this age group in the board area which covers the east side of Marion county. The area includes Lawrence, Warren and Franklin townships and Cen-

There are many farms in the board area and the board in making its calls has tried to interfere as little as possible with the production of food. The board "also has complied generally with requests of defense plants for deferment of workers. It investigates each case, of course. Companies Fair The general inclination of the board is to give deferments to war plant workers in their early 20s with the expectation that the managément will replace ‘them as quickly as possible. “Our opinion is that the companies have been fair with us in asking for deferments,” Mr. -Lesh said, they have done a good job in co-op-erating with Board 15 in handling deferments.” Other board members are Roscoe C.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19 (U. PJ). —Price Administrator Leon Henderson has ruled that landlords renting accommodations other than hotels nd rooming houses may, at the discretion of area rent directors, make temporary rate increases in cases where. present maximums have caused “clearcut” hardships. Mr. Henderson pointed out, however, that the increases are conditional upon the landlord's agreement later to refund any amount which may be .in excess of the maximum rent under the final order. He said refunds must be made to the tenant either in cash or by deduction of the amount from the next rent installment.
