Banks Seek Lower Assessments From Board of Review
Through their attorney J W Ogdon the local banks asked the board of review Friday to reduce bank assessments fixed at 80 percent. They urge a rate closer to Indianapolis 60 to 70 percent, arguing local banks face higher taxes than others in the state. The board took the matter under advisement with no action. Indianapolis banks will pay about 800000 more this year than in 1905 as assessments rose for each bank.

Appellate Court Upholds Garnishment For Road Tax Debt
The Indiana appellate court ruled that a resident householder may have wages garnished up to the road tax and costs if he fails to work the road tax or pay commutation money. Hobbs, a Muncie motorman, refused road tax in Eaton and was sued by the town marshal for $2.50 tax and $18.45 costs. The court rejected his claim of exemption due to marriage and family, noting exemptions do not cover tax claims or collection costs, which can total several times the original debt.
