SINCE 1863

The following is the third in a series of columns on the government of Greencastle. The information is taken from the pamphlet, “This Is Greencastle,” published by the League of Women Voters in 1955 and revised in 1962. FINANCING THE CITY GOVERNMENT. The financial duties of the Greencastle government are shared by three different organizations working together: 1) the Board of Public Works and Safety, composed of the mayor and two councilmen, which draws up the budget, 2) the City Council, which appropriates the money, and 3) the Finance Committee, which is made up of the mayor, the clerk-treasurer, and two councilmen, and which administers the budget. The budget includes all revenues and expenditures, with the exception of the parking meter money, which is put into a special fund. This latter fund, which amounted to almost $4,j 500 in August, 1961, is used to purchase and maintain meters and for salaries for policemen who service the parking meters, for equipment, and for rent on the city parking lot. The budget is prepared by the Board of Public Works and the City Council from estimates of needs submitted in June by each of the city departments— street, fire, police, cemetery, park, etc. The actual budget document is drawn up by the clerk-treasurer. Then it is advertised two times in the local newspapers and is considered by the City Council at a public hearing held the last Monday

in August.

After the Council has adopted any amendments it desires and has given final approval to the budget, two copies of it are sent to the County Auditor, who in turn forwards one to the State Tax Commission. During September, the County Board of Tax Adjustment reviews all budgets in the county and may reduce but not increase budgets! and tax rates. If the total tax ; rate is above the statutory I limitation ($2 in cities or j towns) or if the budget or rate | has been appealed by the municipal corporation or at least ten

taxpayers, the State Board of Tax Commissioners will hold a public hearing in the county. This board has authority to revise, reduce, or increase budget items and rates and also has the final word on any future reallotment which may be requested by the tax unit. It usually takes from June to October to secure a budget for the next year. The levying and collection of property taxes are carried on by the county government. The total property tax rate is composed of the state, county, and township rates plus the city levy for properties within the corporate limits. About 62% of Greencastle’s income comes from the property tax and $1.00 allotted from each poll tax levied. (Each male citizen between the ages of 21 and 50 is required to pay an annual poll tax of $4.50.) The civil (corporate) city property tax rate for Greencastle in 1961 was $1.92. Major items of income of the city government in 1960-1961 were: General Property Tax, $122,960; Alcoholic Beverage Tax, $13,077; Motor Vehicle Tax, $58,444; Township Fire Protection, $5,000. Total receipts of the city government during 1960-1961 amounted to $390,380. The total expenditure for the city government during 1960-1961 totaled 345.96.. The items of exp e n s e we re:— Salaries, $134,122; Utilities, $30,150; Engineering Services, $1,379; Gas and Oil, $3,985; Garage Supplies and Police Car, $3,831; Streets and Alleys, $14,790; General Supplies, $5,339; Other Equipment and Trucks, $5,427; Insurance, $2,807. The per capita cost of city government based on a population of 8,506 (1960 census) was $40.04. The city's net taxable property valuation was $7,471,320 in 1961. Total property tax collection by the county from residents of the city amounted to $566,484. The total general property tax rate for Greencastle was $7.06 11961). Of this amount $1.92 went for the city budget.
