Salary Assignments Barred by City Policy and Law
Legal and city policy analysis shows salary assignments to loan sharks are invalid public policy. Courts condemn advance wage assignments by public officers or unearned salaries, citing public efficiency and debtor-creditor protections. A city rule now bans resigning employees from assigning salaries without consent of three officials, aiming to curb abusive lending to city workers.

Grand Jury Critiques Chattel Mortgage Sharks in Cook County
In September 1800 Cook County Grand Jury denounced debtors “chattel mortgage sharks” and “confidential credit” lenders, urging strict regulation and the creation of state supervised chattel banks. They criticized federal bankruptcy evasion by police tied to shark debt, called for U S District Attorney action, and condemned local officials aiding the sharks. The piece also mocks a dean’s remark on American women’s voices as courageous, noting better ways to proclaim courage.
