them to collect their salaries found
the city Sl65 100000 in debt and
with only Sl50,000 in cash in its
treasury.
AS the debts piled up at the rate
of thousands of dollars a day in
interest. and city employees, in
cluding the teachers, faced the
probability of going indefinitely
without pay, Mayor Anton j. Ger
max and other officials were calling
upon the state to give immediate
aid and prevent certain economic
chaos
Cermak was rebuffed Wednesday
when he asked the legislature in
Springfield to consider Immediately
a bill which he said would reestab-
lish the city's credit and make K
possible to borrow money.
This bill would have provided for
making tax boards appointive in
stead of elective. Bankers promised
that if it were passed they would
buy tax anticipation warrants and
keep the city and county running
until taxes could be collected.
After the rebuff Cermak called
an emergency conference of state,
city and county officials for today
and it was said the meeting would
be held and relief measures dis
cuSsed although Gov. Louis L. En-
merson sent word he could not at
tend.
Emerson was known to agree with
Cermak that state legislation was
needed Immediately to straighten
out the tangled financial situation
and avoid the necessity of cutting
some $4,000 city and county en-
ployees off the pay rolls.
The city's failure today to pay
teachers salaries, accumulation of
interest on bonds. and failure to
meet other bills was said to bring
the combined city and county float
ing debts TO $243,9l4, 900.
