‘DREAM Es HELP CITY RUN SHORT OF CASH

Income ‘Imagined,’ Giving Taxpayers Illusion of Economy.

(Second of a Series)

By RICHARD LEWIS

The city of Indianapolis, which| is heading into an estimated $600, | 000 deficit this year, went broke as the result of an amazing series of budget manipulations. These were calculated to give the taxpayers the illusion that there was economy at city hall. Actually, they will result in higher taxes during the next few years, At the end of 1945, the city had a cash balance on hand of $632,000 and was in a relatively good fiscal | At the end of 1946, it will have| a maximum deficit of $663,074, according to estimates made by the! Chamber of Commerce two months ago-on the basis of full spending! this year.

Estimates Far Apart f Deputy City Controller Larry Parsons admits that the 1946 civil city budget was underfinanced by at least $364,000, but the Chamber's estimate -almost doubles that figure, Early in April, the city advised! the state tax board that on the| basis of operations the first quar-| ter of this year, its deficit was *unning about $240,000, But Mr. Parsons. said he be-| lieved the city can avert the deficit] by rigid economies. This, he agreed, ! would result in curtailment of municipal services this: year. What the actual deficit will be at the end of this year is almc:ct anybody’s guess. The clofest estimate yet made officially is that by paring expenditures to the bone, the city can squeeze through this vear with a| minimum deficit of $140,000—bar- | ring emergencies, The maximum deficit "of $600,000) is based on full spending of actual budgeted funds. Normally, it is possible to cut spending because of normal budget! padding. This is done as a ruic¢ to create budget balances at the end, of the year. It looks good on the | record. But the padding in the 1946 budget is absorbed by constantly increasing operating costs. All labor costs are scheduled to rise at least 15 cents an hour, and labor is twothirds of the budget. “Let-Joe-Payv-1t” |

The difference between .the bai: ance which existed in 1945 and the maximum deficit anticipated for 1946 is about $1,300,000. Where did the money go? The answer is written in the budget itself. The money went to create the illusion that city council and the controller were Kkeeping the tax rate down. The bizarre budget-making' session last year, during which this money disappeared, illustrates the, “Let-Joe-Pay-It” theory. of municipal finance. City council was confronted with the need of increased expenditures The redevelopment commission plan had already raised the tax rate 10 cents. Council dared not raise it any more, it seemed. Spend Working Balance So council took the working balance of $632000 and decided to spend it in 1946. That would cut 12 cents from the rate needed to finance the estimated $11,000,000 needed for this year. More had to be cut. Councilmen | looked over the controller's already) generous estimates of anticip revenue, These were Biv a were based on what the city actually was collecting.« Traffic fees, for instance, which |
