» 2-Cent Cut In Tax Rate | Is Expected |
By TED KNAP A change In minimum school | tax rates, which will bring In-| dianapolis about $100,000 to $150,(000 more in state funds, was ordered today by the General Commission of the Indiana Board of Education. i The saving is expected to cut! Indianapolis’ school tax rate| about 2 cents next year, What the T7-man commission did, by unanimous vote, was increase the amounts of tuition and|
transportation rates which school| corporations are required to raise.
The tuition charge was hiked from 15 cents to 20 cents, and transportation charge from 10] cents to 15 cents, | Wilbur Young, /state superin-| tendent of public instruction, ex-| plained some of Indiana's 1150} school corporations will benefit,
while others will have to raise more money themselves. |
Gains Seen Generally, he explained, large| cities without school transporta-| tion will gain, as will less wealthy school corporations without trans-| portation. Wealthier school bod-|
fes with transportation will lose.|
Commissioners said the boost, in minimums will enable the
state to pay 100 per cent of the| a
state funds due to school cor-
ing short of needs, the state| could only pay about 8¥ per ent.) That's how Indianapolis gains. Raising tuition charges a nickel means more than $300,000 eXira to be raised here. But by then getting 100 per cent instead of 83 per cent, Indianapolis will make| a net gain. Indianapolis school officials estimated the gain at $119,000, while state school officials figured the gain for Indianapolis would be about $143,000. The new changes will start with the February, 1953, distribution of state funds. Won't Like It Commissioner A. C. who moved for the raise, said
Senour,
the increase was needed to meet|
minimum school programs in the state. He added that some school corporations won’t like it, but it was necessary and -a “grave re-| sponsibility.” Por public hearing on the higher charges was set for May 24 in Indianapolis. Today's was called tentative, and final action will come after the hear-| ing. Sater T. Horn, executive sec-| retary of the Indiana Taxpayers’ Association, commented: “It looks like it will force some school corporations, in order to qualify for state funds, to raise taxes in excess of what they need.”
Family Loses Home, Gets New Start
By CHARLIE MILLER The firemen at Station 21 are a happy bunch today. They've helped Mr. and Mrs. Robert L. Goodwin whose home burned to the ground Wednesday to get a new start. The telephone in the firehouse

They battled the flames to save their two small childrén, but lost everything else. That’s when the firemen decided to help. New House Planned
The Goodwin’s landlords, Mr. and Mrs. George Poundstone, told! The Times they were planning to| set up another house for the| couple as soon as arrangements could be made. Mr. Greenwalt told how people responded to the call for help: “One man came in with the back of his car filled with things. He. told me he had been burned out last year .-and knew how it felt. He said he wanted to help. “Another man from Castleton called in to offer a dining room
