Indiana Pays War Claims and Cleans State Debt
Indiana plans to eliminate its state debt within two to three years as war claims are settled. Auditor Hart notes annual payments of 600000 to 700000, plus nearly 1500000 possible this year with war claims included. He says tax rates remain low because county assessments drive rates, not state levies. The reduction is seen as a milestone for state finances and places Indiana near debt-free status.
