CHICAGO UNABLE TO PAT DEBTS: DENIED CREDIT Flat Broke as Heavy Snow Chokes Streets: Crime Goes Unchecked. RV KARL J. JOHNSON I nitrH Prrs* Staff * orrr pnndent CHICAGO Jan. 10.—With a last frantic SOc Chicago’s governmental ship has gone down in the ocean of debt through which h< r battered old null ha~ been wobbling for twenty months. The second largest city in the Cotintry is flat broke. For approximately sixteen years, Chicago ha hem living beyond its income. Nov. credit is exhausted and the hea’.th and safety of three and a half million residents are th-eatened by the i gravest financial rrris ever faced by an American municipality. Today, as Mayor Wi’liam Hair Thompson and his auarr -Iling aldermei. went, into what threatens to be a font-month deadlock over proposed remedies, the city’s million were given a close-up view of conditions by the advent of another rerord snowstorm. Street Cleaning Stops Street cleaning machinery broke down under the strain of clearing arterial highways. Wompn and children in residential districts wadded knee deep in snow' drifts to reach groceries adn public schols. The few trucks and men left in the streets department, concentrated on keeping Loop streets open. Behind apartment buildings and tenements garbage continued to pile up because the disposal department virtually was paralyzed by lack of funds and by snow drifts. Merchandise deliveries were delayed in many parts of the city by the closing of streets from which the snow could not be removed* Automobiles and taxis were forced to follow street car tracks which hod been kept open by the surface lines. Other Developments Other evidences of bankruptcy came out in the following developments: Underw'riters threatened to raise fire and burglary insurance rates unless additional police and firemen were employed. Several fire stations were closed and then opened again under orders of Mayor Thompson when the curve on fire charts swung sharply upward. Robberies during the four days that nearly 500 policemen were dropped from the pay rolls to reduce expenses, increased 66 per cent. „ Many aldermen agreed to stop using private automobiles on which the city was paying all expenses.
