The cuommittee also points out, that residents should rememnber that in the past' four years tlîey have paid only twoý years'- taxes. Meaniwhile, the commun- itjy lias Iived, on - noney borrowed through the sale of tax anticipation war- rants. .Yhese Warrants >are the direct an& binling obligation of:.the respec- tive taxinig bodies, payable ýoui--of 'the first taxes collected against which thé ýwarrants are issued. The 1929 war- rants have .been issued -and paid off. The 1930- warrants will be paid off witb 6 per cent interest, as soon as the 1930 taxes are, billed and collected. The 193 warrants about té be sold by gen- eral public' subscription will bc~ paid whNvit the 1931 taxes are paid, and can be dircctly applied in the pa.yment of tiiose taxes., Banks Overbuvdeged Onxe of the commonest questions asked at mass meetings and other gathérings regarding these warrants is why the batiks do not supply the money. Here- tofore the large Chicago banks and im- portant estates and trust funds have largely supported thesé taxing bodies ini such purchases, but the acute llnancial depression, coupled with the. long delay ini tax collections, bas made it imipossible for such institutions to add. to their ai- ready heavy burden of warrants. .Anticipating the need of reducing ex- penses, the several municipalities began cutting several months ago. Tt is quite likely street lighting will be reduced shortly as much as is consistent with safety. The biggest items of expense in the, schools is the compensation to teachiers,-who are under contract tili the. end of the school year. However, teachers wilI bear their full load with. citizens by accepting part of their pay in the same warrants the parents are asked to buy for their children's sake.
