CLEVELAND, September 11.—The Great Lakes Harbors Assoclation closed its annual convention today after hear- ing the Federal Government accused of discriminating against Great Lakes waterways developmer * Dr. Roy S. MacElwe:, Cambridge, Mass., an authority on harbor engineer- ing, denounced the Government for what he sald was discrimination against | the Great Lakes in disbursement of ublic funds, which he said amounted o only 11.1 per cent of the total ex- pended on waterways. Formation of port authority corpora- | tions with power to levy taxes and carry through long-time plans founded on economic and engineering bases is the main hope for full harbor development on the Great Lakes, MacElwee added. Waterway Report Given. Present port commissions are “‘merely advisory bodies and are not effective in making the surveys necessary to port development and in carrying through Jans after they have been adopted,” e said The association was given an opti- mistic report on the progress of the St. Lawrence waterway project by Charles P. Craig of Washington. execu- tive director of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Tidewater Association.

CHICAGO, September 11.—Loyal to the ideal that “school must go on,” 18,- 000 public school marms, janitors and office workers, many of whom have not been paid since April, came’to the end | of the first week of the new school year | today droning their theme song: | hen, oh, when will our next pay | day be?” | "And to those who have been stalling | the baker, the butcher and the land- lord, exhausting savings accounts and borrowing sources or seeking markets for the serip the school board offsrs in lieu of money, the answef is all im- portant ‘ May Be Two Years Hence. Sitting amid a din of ringing tele- | phones, " surrounded by scratch _pad | pencils’and beseeching teachers, Sccre- tary Charles E. Gilbert of the schuol board wearily said: “I don't know. Nobody does. But unless something is done—taxes paid, a special session qf the State Legislature, | or_something—it might be two years.” | The natural question, “why do.the {teachers teach if there is no money | forthcoming immediately for bread and butter?” brought assorted replies. 2,000 Wait for Payless Jobs. | Some expressed fear of not finding | other openings. Others are held here by responsibilities of property pendents. Many are loathe to the standing they have made for them- elves in the school system. Attention | was called to the waiting iist of 2.000 | applicants ready to step into vacant shoes. But the undercurrent of faith in an [ultimate “square deal” and lovalty to keeping the schools open brightened the_picture. | The present prospect is that this | month's salary, according to Secretary | Gilbert, will be offered to the teachers | at their option in scrip. as has the | $10.695.973 in back salaries. | The situation is not a result of the | depression. The trouble dates back to | 1914, when the board began borrowing on the following vear’s taxes, until in 1923 it was one year behind in being on a cash basis Anticipation Warrants Sold. Then in 1927 the Illinols State As- sembly authorized the Illinois X Commission. to revise Cook County’s taxes. The result was two vears in which no taxes were collected, and now that the revised taxes are due in part the depression has slowed up their col- lection as well, as have pending suits in the Supreme~ Court The outcome has been that the School Board and the municipal and county governments have been largely dependent on the sale of tax anticipa- tion warrants.
