Property Tax Levy Highest In History

Taxpayers of Indiana will pay the highest property tax levy in history again this year, the estimated total to be collected this year is $1,008,275,910. which is $82,761,638 or 8.94 per cent higher than last year. This is the first time that Indiana's property tax has exceeded a total of one billion dollars. Once again new replacement taxes failed to stop the increase in property tax levies, even with the higher rate base due to the general re-assessment of real estate. The announcement was made today by, Walter T< Horn, executive secretary of the Indiana Taxpayers Association. Local taxing officials originally requested $1,238,516,567 in property taxes. Local reviewing agencies, including action by the local Tax Adjustment Boards, cut $76,489,249. and the State Board of Tax Commissioners ordered further reductions of $153,751,408. The overall reduction from the advertised request was $230,240,657

More Farmer* Os County Receive Farm Program Payment* Approximately 85 per cent of the farmers of Kosciusko county have received payments for participitation in the 1970 wheat or feed grain programs, according to Scott Hom. chairman <rf the Kosciusko county Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) committee. Payments will continue to be made as rapidly as records can be processed through computers at the Data Processing Center in New Orleans and checks returned to the county ASCS office for distribution, Mr Hom said. “The bulk of payments should be made by mid-August if farmers who signed up complete the T necessary action indicating they have complied with all the program provisions,” Mr. Hom stated This is earlier than payments have been made in previous years

Marion county’s tax increase of $13,967,061 tops the list. Lake county is second with an increase of $8,641,827. Other counties having increases exceeding one million dollars, are, Allen, Clark. Elkhart, Howard, LaPorte, Porter, Saint Joseph, Tippecanoe and Vanderburgh. Property taxes were reduced in 28 counties, Boone. Brown. Cass. Clay, Crawford, Daviess, Dearborn, Dekalb, Delaware, Fountain, Franklin, Greene, Harrison, Jennings, Knox, Miami. Morgan. Newton, Ohio, Orange, Parke, Perry. Ripley, Scott. Sullivan, Union, Vigo, and Washington. The estimated net assessed valuation for 1969 taxes payable 1970 was $11,880,347,974. an increase of $1,588,950,896 or 13.37 per cent, and produced an average tax rate of $8,487 per hundred dollars net valuation. The Indiana property taxes as advertised and finally fixed for 1969 payable in 1970, estimated, are listed below for the county and area counties:

The chairman pointed out that these payments to farmers have an impact on the entire community because most of the money remains in the local area vfhere farmers pay for the things they need to buy. Participation by producers in farm programs helps even out the year-by-year flow of farm products to market, which also helps stabilize food and fiber prices, a benefit to consumers, he said. Farmers earn payments bydiverting part of their cropland to conservation uses.” Mr. Hom explained. ‘‘This helps keep a balance between supply and demand for food and fiber, preserves the excess acres for future use when they are needed, and provides an orderly supply of farm products to consumers. Mr and Mrs Jerry Bushong and Mrs. Mary Huber of Waubee lake attended the Hamsher reunion held at the home of Mr. and Mrs Clifford Hamsher in Nappanee on Sunday afternoon
