Bond Issue For Relief Likely If Levy Fails
Elyria officials warn that a May 14 levy may fail and trigger further bonds against delinquent taxes to fund relief welfare and hospitalization. Mayor Joseph Q. Petro says if the levy fails, a bond issue is likely, despite its drawbacks of diverting delinquent tax income from city operations. The city currently has 24,000 in bonds and 12,000 in 1933 scrip outstanding and is borrowing 48,044 against delinquent taxes.
