Borough Council approves 10% tax levy with lower valuation
At the March meeting Indiana Borough Council set a 10 percent levy of 10 mills, two more than 1933, yet the same tax revenue due to reduced assessed property values for 1934. Four mills fund the General Fund and 6 mills fund the Sinking Fund while Sun Oil Co. gas station plans near Seventh and Church were rejected for church proximity reasons. About $5,000 will be covered by borough economies to finish the Community Center Y M C A building, with Indiana Lodge of Masons leasing two upper floors for 16 years. South Wayne residents prompted Cornel to repair drainage on Garman Alley.
