CHICAGO FACES
CIVIC CRASH

CHICAGO, Jan. 20 u.N.S0.
Complete financial collapse Of
Chicago's local government is only
a matter OF days, according to a
report placed before the city
today by Silas H. Strawn. chair
man of the citizens COMMITTEES.
Chicago's situation is critic
ally desperate" the emergency
group reported, following a fran
tic three-day search for some
means to forestall the crisis fac
ing the city, county and school
boards.
Bankers have refused assistance
and the situation. stated briefly
by Attorney Strawn, is that with
virtually $29O, 900 900 in debts. the
local governments are flat
broke" with no prospect Of OBJ
tanning emergency cash.
Warrants Refused
Besides being refused loans by
banking interests. efforts to in
duce property owners to purchase
tax anticipation warrants have
m ct with failure. Property
owners have, turned a cold
shoulder toward the proposition
Of buying these warrants to be
used for payment Of tax bills to
come.
No taxes have been collected in
the county for 20 months.
Failure to obtain funds would
mean closing up schools and in.
stitutionS such as homes for the
poor, the Cook County Hospital
and the municipal tuberculosis
SanitariumS.
So immediate is the crisis, ac-
cording to Strawn, that even a
special session Of the State
Legislature could not produce re-
suits quickly enough to forestall
threatened collapse.
$4,000 Daily Interest
The banks in their refusals
cited the fact that they already
hold more than $185 ,OOO, 900 in
1928 and 1929 tax anticipation
warrants.
Outstanding public debts are
eating up $5O.O00 daily in inter-
est, the committees report
pointed out.
