PACE 18 _

Leaders Disagree Championing the proposed flood-control project are Freeman Callahan of 3751 Creston Dr,, pres- * ident of the association, and J. C. Sharp Jr. of 5302 Carlton Way, Speedway, a member of the advisory board. On the opposite side is the aszociation’s publicity director, Mrs. David Donaldson, of 626 Olin Ave. The principal objection is that the project will take an added whack at the taxpayer's pocket-| book

The immediate objective Is to correct the flood hazard in the territory that includes approxi-| mately 700 homes. Mr. Sharp i said that approximately 400] homes, including Mrs. Donald- | son's, were affected by the January flood. f The cost of the flood control] project, he says, will not exceed the damage that resulted from the January overflow of Big and Little Eagle Creeks. I Mrs. Donaldson is not so sure. She is asking all the taxpayers affected to be at the Dec. 18 meet-| ing to discuss the issue of filing a petition with the Marion Cir-| cuit Court to establish such a district, ;

Although broad in scope, the act primarily permits the creation of a new taxing district to meet, a problem that extends across] current tax district boundaries. All projects approved by the| three-man board of directors must | be reviewed by the court. . On the subject of cost, Mr. Sharp estimates that it will not exceed $300 for each residence with payments spread over a 20year period, if the taxpayer 80

Mrs. Donaldson said that the) mere cost of just setting up the) district will mean a two-year tax! levy of 5 cents on each $100 of assessed Valuation. Subsequent projects undertaken, she said, will! add an extra tax burden,
