Proposed tax levies effecting Syracuse and Turkey Creek Township have been made by the officers of the different municipalities of, which Syracuse and the township are a part. q,. The total tux levy upon the properties of the township is $1,885 pei SIOO of property. Upon the town • property, $2.775 per SIOO. Last year alter the county council and the state board of tax conv inissioners had “adjusted the rates, the tbtal township levy was $1.94 per SluiJ. That of the town was $2.58 The aggiegste township levy this year is made up of the following items' 15 cents state tax; 25 cents, ~ county revenue; 26 county unit road bonds; 37 cents township free gravel road bonds; and 80S .cents levied by the trustee for .school purposes, school bonds, etc/ The tax levy for the town is 82 cents in addition to the levies of the Jibraiy. township, county and state. All of these levies are subject to action by the county tax adjustment board as provided by an act of the 1932 legislature and subject to action by the state board of t-ax cominissioners,. and also subject tq final action by the' courts of the state. The proposed aggregate t;sx levy for both township and town exceeds the maximum late of $1.50 on SIOO worth pf taxable property by $0.385 for the township;- $1,275 for the town. ■ When the ; gounty board of tax ad justmeni meets it will lie the duty of the board to reduce the aggregate < levy on any property located in the ''ft county to 51.50. /I The board will no doubt determine /’ what levies aie compulsory, what levies are necessary to take care of interest, sinking fund, or maturities of bonds outstanding on August 8, 1932. This compulsory levy or. property within the town of Syr.a- --> cjuae will ah.»un! to sl.<>7 and is divided as follows: Twenty-six cents for county unit road bonds; 3< cents for township t oad bonds; 25 cents for school bonds and approximately 19 cents for bonds outstanding against the town. The balance of. 43 cents, according to provisions of the law , unless the tax 'adjustment - boaid deMares an emergency, must suffice for th® '.-•tate. county, township, town, library.. 'lf the board decides an Verbeigency exists. and even" if the state board of tax Commissioners concurs,' legal authorities state that the ultimate decision whether an emergency exists will be determined by the courts < f Indiana, if taxpay- ■ era take it to court. It is also the opinion of the experts that since’ the purpose of the $1.50 tax bill was to limit the tax rutei upon property owners, the courts will construe and apply ft : accordingly. “Taxpayers appearing shall have alright to be heard thereon. After the tax levies) have been determined;, ten or more taxpayers feeling themselves aggrieved by such levies, may appeal to the Stale Board of Tax Commissioners for further and final; action thereon, by filing a petition therefore with the County Auditor not later than the fourth Monday of September, and the-State Board will 3 fix a dale of hearing in this county." William Allen White says that the present campaign is like that of 1896 and that Mark Hanna is dead. So is William J. Bryan.

MAIN STREET WHITTLINGS D. Miller, captain or commodore ] of Miss Waco, one of those snooty speed boats, on Wawasee, tells a tia-h story. | He 1 says he threw out a hook and | line, baited with a minnow, and] laid the pole on the dock at Waco pavilion, and somehow forgot thepole. A few hours later he remembered the #ole and went out to look for it. It was not there. Turning on the search light, he saw the pole out on the lake. He ] •borrowed a boat and rowed out. He recovered the pole, felt something jerk; and hauled it in. He brought to the surface a nice bass, which dropped off into the water. Upon looking closer he saw there was a good sized perch still on the hook. The perch had swallowed the minnow, and'in turn had been swallowed by the bass, .which had aot time to digest it before being hauled to, the surface by Miller. Fishermen, and all that term implies, beat that one. Prohibition was a question carefully avoided at the Republican rally. Friday. Senator Watson men.ioned it once. That was when he complimented Mrs. Clara Barr, second district vice chairman. “’She’s the only kind of a bar I can mention," he said, "without coming into conflict with the 18th amendment. ” When he said that the only way to >ring prosperity to the farmers was .» put men back to work and thus create a market for the farmers’ proluce. he talked sense. He implied he was not in favor of some of the schemes advanced to raise the price >f wheat by the export debenture plan and others. When he heard us talking about he heat, Monday, Fred Hinderer offered to bet us anything we’d name, that there’d be 18 inches of now before Thanksgiving, at one nine. So we risked a nickle and bet hat much that there wouldn’t. Audrey Snyder says he told Mr. Indan his watermelons were getting .00 ripe and large for safety in his garden. And sure enough, band oncert night last week, the watermelons disappeared. A. A. Beach purchased a flashlight this morning. When asked why he didn’t buy one for his wife too, he Said she sees too much now. —- 0 • ----- C. OF C.
