Attack on Barrett law amendment sparks injunction suit
Five South Bend taxpayers filed an injunction in Judge Orlo R. Deahl's court challenging an Indiana General Assembly Barrett law amendment from 1920. They seek to halt transferring the special assessment collection from the county treasurer to the city controller effective Jan. 1, 1950, arguing it would raise city taxes. The suit names A C Colpaeri Fred W Keller ex mayor P F E Bondurant Leslie Whitcomb and William Happ as plaintiffs against County Treasurer George W Schuntz City Controller Rudolph Ackerman and the city of South Bend. The case has state wide implications for all cities and towns covered by the amendment.
