CIVIC POOL TO FLOAT
CHICAGO FINANCES
Business Interests to Buy
Tax Anticipation Warrants
in Crisis.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, January PA civic pool
was being formed by leading business
interests today on which to float the
city, the county and the school board
from their mo funds" dilemma.
The pool will be for the purpose OF
buying $5O.OoO.OOo in tax anticipation
warrants. This sum viii be enough,
according to oficials, to run the local
governmental bodies until the re-
assessment is completed and 1928 tax
bills collected.
Large businesses, public utilities and
railroads have on deposit in the banks
large sums Of money to meet the 1928
tax roll. It is planned to use this
money in the purchase of the anticipa-
ton warrants, which later can be re-
deemed by the several concerns in the
payment of their taxes.
The cash shortage already has forced
postponement of the pay of more than
40, 900 city. county and school employees.
Coal companies announced yesterday
that unless past due bills were paid soon
1t would be necessary to withhold fur
ther deliveries to school buildings.
The State has not received its share
OF Cook County taxes in 20 months.
