A Spiceland hearing faced a barrage of heckling during the session. Attendees shouted questions and complaints as officials considered the proposed raise.
The Sanitary Board plans to complete and operate the dehydration unit of the city sewage disposal plant next year with a $92 000 budget item. The $40 000 needed to finish construction will be raised by bonds, while operating costs come from taxes. The unit, last step in disposal, will turn solids into fertilizer, though past delays and doubts linger.
Dehydration plant processes solids into a sellable sack product for landowners while liquids are purified for safe release into White River. Some farmers use the solids as fertilizer, but much sits unused on open ground year after year. The sanitary board seeks a tax levy increase from 6 cents to 8 cents for 1930.
