Indianapolis to cut city levy in 1922 budget talks
City officials at a city hall conference project a total levy of 89.6 cents per $100 of taxable property for 1922, down from 92.6 cents if the track elevation levy is ended. If kept, the levy would reach about 92.6 cents, a 12.5 cent cut from the 1991 levy. Expenditures for 1922 are set at 5,870,000, with wage cuts and material price declines driving the reduction. K Fesler awaits certified 1922 property valuation, which could raise the levy if below 598,000,000. A 4 mill levy for the planning commission is included.

King George Deficit Cited In Royal Civil List Strain
London Aug 10 The King faces mounting royal household costs after World War I with deficits rising from £24 500 in 1919 to £45 000 in 1920 and likely higher in 1921. Chancellor Chamberlain said the king resisted civil list increases, cut ceremonial splendor, and sought further economies while appointing a committee to study salaries and upkeep. The king had already contributed £100 000 to the treasury in 1916 and wished to aid public charities rather than the exchequer.
