Township Levy Limit Causes Void of 1879 Act
In an opinion from the state board of accounts to Franklin township trustee Henry Brown the 1899 township reform act is deemed inconsistent with the 1879 limit of three cents per $100 for Marion county townships, rendering the 1879 act void. Brown sought a higher levy. county auditor Sahm refused. The 1879 limit applied only to Marion and counties with 20,000+ voters, leaving other counties with no levy cap. other township levies still have fixed limits. Also, Senator Beveridge seeks hog cholera serum from Purdue’s Dr. R A Craig, with the secretary of agriculture authorizing serum supply to affected farmers.
