How Much Taxes ak Should the Gas Utility Pay

* As a taxpayer and a user of gas in Indianapolis your interest in how much money the Gas Utility pays into the tax fund is only natural. Such payments may influence how much money YOU have to pay in taxes and it may influence the size of your gas bill. In any event, you want to know all about this question of Gas Utility taxes, and here is the answer:

Lissa LAW, since 1891, specifically exempted municipally owned property from taxes, in fact, an Indiana Supreme Court decision in 1931 expressly forbade a municipally owned utility to pay city taxes. This law, with some changes, was in effect when in 1935 the Directors for Utilities took over the operation ‘of the gas company, and the City of Indianapolis became a ‘successor trustee of a charitable trust.”

In 1937, at the request of the Gas Utility's Board of Directors, the law was changed to permit payments in place of taxes. The monies paid to the city in place of taxes cannot amount to any more than the taxes would be if the Gas Utility was privately owned. Nor can such payments be made if in the judgment of the directors the payments would interfere with the operation of the Gas Utility or with making bond payments on schedule.

Since 1937 the Gas Utility has paid the Civil and School City almost a million dollars in place of taxes — $940,000 to be exact. -

A payment of $50,000 was made to the Civil City both in 1937 and 1939. Then a sum of $40,000 was added for the School City and a total of $90,000 was paid in the years 1940, 1941, 1942, and 1943. All during this period State, County, and City taxes were paid on the property of the Indianapolis Gas Company (used by the Gas Utility under a lease arrangement) amounting to over 3 million dollars— $875,654.11 to be exact.

After the Indianapolis Gas Company was bought, payments in place of taxes were upped to $160,000 in 1944, 1945, and 1946. For 1947, the directors have approved a payment in place of taxes amounting to $240,000. (This figure was arrived at by taking the ratio of the State Board of Tax Commissioners’ last » valuations to the then book value and applying it to the current oe book value.) It should be mentioned here, too, that in the past 11 years the Gas Utility has also paid Indiana Gross Income Tax, amounting to $434,390.00.

As a summary, the facts are these: The Gas Utility does not have to pay taxes. It may pay sums in place of taxes. It can not pay any more than its taxes would be, if privately owned. Since 1937 the Gas Utility hgs paid ‘almost a million dollars to the Civil and School City. It paid all the taxes on Indianapolis Gas Company property until its purchase in 1942 amounting to over 3{ million dollars. It has paid almost 14 million dollars in Gross Income taxes. And—as explained in a previous ad—two rate reductions made in 1936, saved Indianafolis gas users, this year alone, over 114 million dollars. *

The story of what has been done to build gas capacity to keep up with a fast growing city —to keep pace with industrial growth—is still to be told. Other questions are still to be answered. Questions like: Who runs the Gas Utility? What happens to the profits? What are the plans for tomorrow? Watch this newspaper for the next ad in this series dealing with the subject: “Who owns the Gas Utility —who paid for it, and how?”
