CHICAGO CITY SCRIP.
The Supreme Court Of tie State Of Illinois
llas rendered what may bo regarded as final
aud comprehensive decision upon tho hub-
ject Of tho city warrants issued III antioipa-
ton Of tho collection Of tho revenue. There
woro two cases ponding, nnt1, takon together,
Ms they must necessarily be, tho decision Of
tho Court is to tho following offect:
Tho city being admitted to be in debt in
excess Of Il per cent Of the assessed value Of
the taxnble property in t4e city, 1t Is pro-
hibitod from creating any indebtedness, and,
of necessity, nny evidence Of indebtedness
for any purpose must DO illegal md void.
This has been the case ever since the new
Constitution went into operation in August,
1870. Tho transfer of tho valuation Of prop
erty and the collection Of taxes from the city
to tho Slate produced much confusion in city
affairs. Thus, tho city made appro-
priations for tho year ending March
III, and taxes wero lovied therefor,
which taxos woro not collected until Sep
tember in the succeeding year, or fifteon'
months aftcr tho expiration Of tho year for
which they were levied. To moot this diff
Guilty tho city restored to the issue Of inter-
oat-bearing notes md scrip on which~it bor-
rowed money, removing this aorip from timo
to time, and paying 1t rs tho taxes were col
looted. A result was that the city Ind out

accumulated in the most alarming propor-
tions. At last tbs credit Of the city broke
down. blr. THOMAS HOME, who was elected
temporarily Mayor, fearlcssly refused to
issue any further scrip, and compelled tho
Council to suspend its rcok1ess policy. The
people OF tho city wero aroused to the public
danger, aud elected new Council composed
Of class of mon who had long boon strangers
