September 27, 1934 WILMETTE LIFE URGETAAYR TO VOTE. YES ON' BIG BOND ISSUIE Emergency R eli efi Measure Designed to Prevent Further Burden on Home Owner At a meceting of representatives of civic and community groups, business and labor interests held at the Palmer House last Thursday night, the Ili- nois, Emergency Relief, Bond Issue comnittee was organized for the Purpose of securing approval by the %,oters at the November election of the, proposed $30,000,000 emergency relief state bond issue. Honier J. Buckley, president of the W\est Central association, was elected cliairnian; William F. Seltzer, presi- dent Cook County Civic council, vice- chairinan; Graham Aldis, president Chicago Building Managers' associa- tion, treasurer; Douglas Sutherland, executive secretary the Civic Fedéra- tion and Bureau of Public Eficiency, secretary. Both the state and Cook county committees have set up head- quarters at 160 N. La Salle street, Chicago. Civic Bodies Approve Actively participating in the Cook atives organization were represent- atvsof many outstanding business and civic bodies, who are cooperating %vith county and state organizations to secure approval of this unusual bond issue. Unusual because it does flot create a new debt, but simply refinances one already existant, and to liquidate wbich a special tax 1evy of approximately 63 cents per $10al ot assessied valuation has already been made against aIl real and per- sonal propcrty in the state. Passage of the bond issue, it is explained, wvill inake it unnecessary to put this tax levy into collection. Money Afready Spent -l'le cold facts, as stated, are that thec moiney bas already been spent for relief purposes, and the decision is up to the voters as to whether they prefer to, pay it through direct taxa- tion or by a bond issue. State notes, which amount to tax anticipation warrants, were sold against collection of this bcavy special levy, and if the bond issue fails of approval it will be iiecessary to proceed with collection <f the levy. Endors.ed by both the democratic and republi can state conventions, the bond issue is being actively and ag- gressively supported by the Illinois Agricultural associa tion, Illinois Asso- ciation of Real Estate boards, Illinois Bankers' association, Illinois Federa- tion of Labor, Illinois Manufacturers association,. Illinois Federation of Women's clubs, and the Illinois League of Women Voters. These organizations point out that in fairness to the. property taxpayers who are already heavily overburden- ed, a moral responsibility rests upon every citizen to vote for this. bond issue and to urge hi> fellow citize.ns to do likewise.
