RECORD TAX IS FIXED FOR CITY

Raté to Be $1.579 per $100

Property Valuation.

By KENNETH HUFFORD City councilmen wiped their brows today, deciding they had fin“ished a tough two-week budget

At the final session last night, they passed the record budget ordinance and fixed a record civil city tax rate of $1.579 on each $100 of taxable property. They didn't get away, however, until Democrats had reminded them that the budget was the highest in the city’s history. The opposition also brought up a matter of almost $50,000 included in the budgét for Insurance premiums, This, too, is a new high. And, the council heard Frank Murray, director of the Indianapolis Tax Research and Assessment Association, Inc. call attention to “a burden on the property owner.” Proposal Is Cut The council did reduce Mayor Tyndall's’ proposed budget by approximately $750,000, or 20 cents from the proposed tax rate. The rate of $1579 which was flxed includes a 10-cent mandatory levy established by the last legislature for slum-clearance work. With the exception of Democrats Max White and William A. Brown, the rest of the council agreed with President John A. Schumacher: “I'm satisfied with the budget and everybody I've talked to seems to be.” Mr. Murray said he believed the council “has done one of the best jobs I've seen anywhere in the state. “However, it is difficult to meet the city's needs on our present tax base,” he added. Eye New Sources “I'm asking the council to consider t#pping new sources of revnue so the city can be properly financed and can provide necessary services.” President Schumacher quickly appointed Finance Chairman Herman Bowers to work with

Murray and City Controller Hickman in uncovering new enue sources on which the budget might be based. “It's absolutely ridiculous for the el city to ask almost $50,000 for in-| surance premiums,” Councilman | White declared. : \bout $10,000 of this 1s due to the new financial responsibility law on automobiles,” Mr, Bowers explained. Mr. White objected to this, saying the law was not mandatory and that the city should carry its own insurance. ‘Had To Take 1’ City Corporation Counsel Arch Bobbitt agreed the city would be “better off without insurance. But, the state safety .department told us we had to take it ..Even President Schumacher] agreed with Mr. White that the | _ Barat, oo - When the vote LA taken, on only Democrats White and |’ Brown were in favor of eliminating the $50,000 item from the budget. Democratic Councilman Otto Worley sided with the Republican | majority, explaining it was too late | to make the change., Anxious to get the budget passed, | Republicans were delayed in their vote until Dr. Lucian Meriwether, a | member of the majority, could} speak in behalf of lower-salarieq | city workers. | He asserted more financial con-| sideration should be given by city | department heads to these em-| ployees. However, city councilmen | are not permitted to increase bhud-| get items, only to reduce them. At last, a vote on the budget was| taken, 7 to 2, and the two-week| “financial headache” was shifted to the Marion county tax adjustment board for further considera-| tion Sept. 10.
