Council OK's Petition to State Board

Wicker Charges Slash Will Trim Pensions

By LOUIS ARMSTRONG Mayor Al Feeney and City Controller Phillip L. Bayt prepared today to petition the State Board of Tax Commissioners for an appeal from the recent budget cut handed the city by the County Tax Adjustment Board. The officials were authorized to file the petition under a resolution passed last night by City Council. Six Democratic members voted for the measyre while two Republicans voted against it. The iy minority member was absen Both Democratic and Republic-| an members of the council were urged to support the measure by Councilman Joseph Wicker, Democratic chairman of the council's finance committee, who

among other things that the cut, if not appealed, will cause hardships to widows and orphans on! the police and firemen’s pension funds. The reduced levies will not

provide enough cash to pay the!

pensions, he said. Cut Pension Funds The tax cut reduces the tax levy of the firemen’s pension fund from 9 cents to 8.6 cents and the policemen’s pension fund levy from 4.6 cents to 4.3 cents. The resolution ‘specifically appeals the pension cuts, the general fund levy cut from $1.35 to 96.3 cents, the health and hospital fund levy cut from 31.7 to 27.5 cents and the sanitation department levy cut from 19.3 cents to 17.8 cents. “We have been forced into the same tragic situation which we faced when we took office the first of the year,” said Mr. Wicker. “We have a big spending budget, but not enough cash appropriated to meet it. The same thing will happen next year that happened this. Creditors will have to sue the City and we will have to sell bonds to meet the bills,”

Union Veteran Last Stand in

(Continued From Page One) who decked the city with flags and buntings and constructed a reviewing stand in front of the Court House. The parade through downtown streets was one of the largest the nation had seen — 25,000 marched and Indiana alone had 10,000 veterans in the parade, marching eight abreast for 15 8 Tres. At.the head of the Montgomery County column was Gen. Lew Wallace, as well known then as a soldier as he was later for statesmanship and as the author of “Ben Hur.” . Monument Just Erected In 1893 the Soldiers and Sailors Monument had just been erected. Although work on it was not completed, giant electric globes were trained on it and there was a continuous surge -of blue uniforms through the crowd which came to admire it. . The Monument was a different scene the next time the “boys in blue” returned to Indianapolis, in 1920. By two's and thrge’s the old soldiers gathered on benches and leaned on their canes as they recounted war experiences. Some 5000 braved the September heat to march in the parade. But the parade was short and quite a few were forced to drop from the line of march before it was completed.

| As that encampment closed there was talk that it might be the last—the “boys in blue” said they “weren't as young as they used to be.” But the next year, 'in 1921, they wanted to meet here again and the state and city government appropriated funds |for a small encampment.

pleas to open their homes to the old soldiers. It was a quiet convention, keyed to the past. When the convention’ ended, there was again a general feeling that the Grand Army of the Republic had seen its last national meeting.

Tear-Blurred Eyes “Indianapolis should be proud she was among the last cities of the nation as well as the first one to open its doors to the men who fought that the Union might be preserved,” an editorial intoned. But the years passed and again in 1942 and in 1946 the national encampment was held here. In those years the aging men in their faded uniforms were taken to see the Monument, the old {Camp Robinson site at Riverside Park and to the Capitol building to view with tear-stained eyes their old regimental flags. , Remembering all these visits, six old men yesterday gave up plans to let this year’s convention be the last. They elected the

old Theodore Pelnald, Po! Ore., commander and went ahead with plans to “keep the candle flickering” another year to write the GAR's last chapter in the city that cradled it.
