A City Tint ~ HopeIessIy Bankrupt
nulcted on It's Bonds

A It. Louis special OF the lOth says: The
Supreme Court OF Illinois rendered deer
sion yesterday that again calls public attcn-
ton 10 the hopeless bankruptcy I'm o which
the people and government Of East st. Louis
are plunged The municipality has been A
chrome bankrupt for ten wears. and now
the indications are that all the property
owners will not have more than their fare
across the ferry when the courts get through
with them. The decision referred TO was
made IN the test case known as the Gund-
loch bond case, which represents nearly
$1,000 coo OF bonds on which the city OF
East 81. Louis defaulted and refused TO pay.
A peTemptOry mandamus was applied for
before Judge Snyder to compel the city gov
eminent OF East 81. Louis 70 make an imme-
dlaie levy 10 pay this bond claim, with in
tefest. The city claimed that 1t was indebt-
ed beyond its constitutional limit, and had
levied a tax to the full limit required by
law, and that according to the Limitation
clause in is charter II was allowed 10 raise
taxes OF only per cent. on the equalized
valuation OF It's property, only three tentns
OF per cent Of which could be used to pay
the interest on bonded Indebtedness.
Judge Snyder granted the mandamus.
The city and lx-pavers appealed TO the State
stslitiLr Nouil, anu tue case was TAKEN De-
fore the court last January. Both sides have
been perfectly confident OF winning the
case, but the bondbolders came OF victori.
Gus. Previous to this tue supreme Court
Of the United States, In the case Of II. Amy,
had decided against the city and its
claims OF limit TO taxation, and had
issued peremptory maudamus re-
quiring the city To make special levy OF
about $4,000 10 pay the judgments, with
interest and costs as obtained by then,
against the city. The bond debt Il estimated
at sGjO,000, and other judgments, at low
estimste. at 100000 more. The bonds were
payable In ten and twenty years, and are,
with possibly one or two exceptions. long
since due, and with unpaid interest and
COSTS OF suits have about doubled. The as
sessed valuation ofproperty in East st. Louis
Is $500, 600, aud when the levy OF $1,000
600 is made the residue viii not be large.
The bondholders live In the East.
