Tx Rate in the City of Lebenon

The Democratic city committee in its advertisement published in The Reporter Saturday states that the city tax rate as fixed by the present city council is $1.0." per hundred. We repeat this statement today and submit the following affidavit of the auditor touching the city tax rate in 1911 and in 1917: State of Indiana. County of lioone, ss: I. C'leve Goodwin, auditor in and for said county and state, do hereby fortify that tax rate for the year 1911 as -fixed uy ... .ity council of Lebanon, Ind., was $1.13 per hundred. In addition t( this the levy as fixed by the city school board was $1.0.) per hundred. I further certify that the tax rate as fixed by the city council of Lebanon, Indiana, for the yiar 1917. was $1.05 per hundred. In addition to this the levy as fixed , by the city school board was 95c per hundred. CLKVE (iOODWIN. Auditor of limine County, Ind.

. This shows a reduction of 8 cents in the levy as fixed by the council and a reduction of 10 cents in the levy as fixed by the school board. Ten cents of the levy appearing on your tax receipt is a levy made by the school board lor school buildings and equipment. The levy is not under the control of the city council. . The Debt of the City On December 31, 1913 (the last day of the last Republican administration) the city treasurer received in taxes, $19,707.46, which added to the balance on hand started the present administration w ith $23 800. The present administration has a balance now of $11,026.36 and will receive next December about $11,000. This council will leave for its successors about $25,000. The indebtedness of the city January 1, 1911, was $31,000 as shown by the records in the city clerk's office. $2,000 of this was paid off by the last Republican administration between January I, 1911,

and January 5. 191 1. out of the $23,800 which they claim to have turned over to the present administration. If they claim credit for paying $2,000 arc they entitled to credit for it in their balance? Sewage System The present administration inherited the present sewage system from a Republican aciministrulion. If it is bad now was it perfect then" This administration has done all it could to comply with the order of the State Hoard of Health and establish a sewage disposal plant. It started condemnation proceedings to secure land for such a plant. These proceedings are now pending in court. . Nothing can be done by any administration until this case is decided. If the sewage system is bad now it must have been bad in 1913. The present administration is doing all it can to remedy the sewage system. The last Republican administration did nothing. Take your choice.

MR. VOTER:- We submit these facts for comparison with any juggling of figures which the Republican Committee may put before you.
