GERMAN LAWN MOWERS.

ndiana Manufacturers Wish 50 Per Cent. Tariff on Forelgn Machines.

‘Disturbed by the reports that Ger{man manufacturers of lawn mowers have copied American designs and now have samples in this country, | manufacturers of lawn mowers in Indiana have filed briefs with the ways and means commitiee now considering tariff legislation and asked that tliey havé an opportunity to be heard” Lawn mowers can be shipped into this country duty free as they u'ol classed as agriculturul lmplen_l:n’u. et e e —— . ® BOND ISSUE NOTICES. ' Lesh Gives Opinlon as to Proper Man‘ner in Presneting Pleas. An outliné of the proper manner la which the notice of bond issues should be made under the amendment of the genery! tax jaw passed by the last legislatare is given in an opinion submited Friday by U.°S. Lesh attorneygeneral to- the state board -of tax commissioners. Mr. Lesh points out that proper compliance with ~the amended law requires the following steps: - ' ‘ When the appropriate municipal ofals contmplate the issuance of bonds they should present the questions in the form of a proposed resolution or ordinance in which the purpose, the amount and the material conditions of the proposed issuance are stated. : : On the adoption of the proposed resolution _the city clerk or other proper official should cause the notice o fthe bond issue to be given as pequired by statute the notice being published two weeks. . 3 Following the notice the right of the taxpayers to remonstrate may be exercised, the language of the statute seeming to be confused as to the time within which the remon&trance must be filed with county auditer. If no remonstrance is filed within the time allowed, it would then be proper for the appropriate municipal officers to adopt its bond ordinance and go forward with the other steps, as heretofore, but if remonstrance .is filed, further action should be deferred until the final action of the state| board of tax commissioners, Mr. Lesh said *'the statute is not for the purposes of giving the taxpayers an opportunity to remonstrate before the local officers, but to appeal by way of remonstrance to the state board of tax commissioners.” ; |
