New Indiana tax rates eyed to lift state from distress
Indianapolis August 10 tax payers in 1924 face a state tax rate rising from 27 to about 32 cents per $100 of property if the state board of tax commissioners Governor McCray and auditor Robert Bracken approve levies deemed necessary. Four levies remain to be fixed by officials totaling about 9 cents while lawmakers have set 19.95 cents. Kracken says if assessed property totals about $5.4 billion a 1 cent levy yields roughly $530,000. debt at about $4 billion prompts calls for a 5 cent general fund levy to cover next year. Bracken asserts only temporary loans are authorized and must be paid off at next tax settlement. he urges high levies to retire debt. Pool room operators face warnings for minors loitering and must bar minors or face prosecution.
