Bank’s Timely Loan Preserves Credit Of The City One-fifth of the indePtedness in- curred by the citizens of Lakeland for street paving was due Sept. 1. Owing to the method of handling the matter employed by the firm who had purchased the certificates, the city found it was necessary to have a large sum of money to pay this indebtedness at once, and thus secure the certificates so that col-: lections might be made from the property owners. In this crisis, the following correspondence occurred between the city administration and ! the local banks, and is published by order of the former: The following letter was ad- dressed to each of the banking in- stitutiong of the city, The First Na- tional Bank, The State Bank of Lakeland, and The American State Bank: “The City of Lakeland is now in a state of crisis, and without finan- cial aid in the discharze of duly contracted obligations, the City of Lakeland will suffer irreparable in- jury. “Certificgtes of indebtedness in the form of liens upon designated properties in the City of Lakelana, are guaranteed by the City of Lake- land, in virtue of charter authori- zation. A large number of proper- erties owned by persons negligent obligation, are subject to foreclosure | of the mentioned liens. That this injury may be avoided, and the credit of the City of Lake- land maintained, you as a banking i institution of the City of Lakeland, |are respectfully asked to loan the City of Lakeland such money as ‘you can, upon such conditions | good banking require.
