State Board Fixes Tax Appraisement of Water Company
The state board of tax commissioners yesterday fixed the taxation at seven percent return for two periods on the Indianapolis Water Company, reducing tentative valuation by about 4.6 million dollars. The decision follows a contested valuation before the Public Service Commission and ongoing federal court action. Attorneys for the company and state officials exchanged arguments as the board prepared to issue its final assessment plan, with further hearings anticipated before the next taxation.
