Yet; Hearing Held This

+ A hearing was held this morning by the state tax board to discuss

the validity of the ordinance.

©. Roger Benjamin, representing

a group of taxpayers, has filed a

merce. Mr. Telford will give a final

summary of his recommendations | *

determined from the eight-month survey of the city government.

Takes Court Action

Earlier this afternoon he will give his deposition in the J. L. Jacobs & ' Oo. case. Mr. Telford, who began his job survey as an employee of this company, will testify regarding the conditions of his employment. Legal action recently was taken by Mr. Benjamin in superior court 4 to stop the city from paying $3051 to the Jacobs company. The latter sued the city for-services performed after an original $10,000 contract for the survey had expired. Mr. Telford denied he would file suit for his $2000 claim. e “I shall make no appeal to any court. Any appeal I may be forced to make will be ‘to the court of public opinion. I do not expect, however, to make any appeal to anybody. I. am confident the city of Indianapolis will pay me for the work I have done,” the job surYeyor asserted.
