Existing. Emergency, By JULK . WARREN ' i RALEIGH, June 16. The North "Caro-. lina Municipal leaarue today decided unanimously to ask Governor, CameTon Morrison to call a sj?ecial' session of the legislature for the purpose of l'cor rwtine the municipal finance Act o it would be possible for the cities itajnanA age their finances aurme tne next 18 or 20 months. - - - , s- Some municipalities, inNorth ; Caro lina have already defaulted in the pay ment of interest on bonds and others have been delinquent -in'.' nieetinjc 'the interest charges, it was developed dur ing the discussion of the flnahciat con dition . of -the- munlcIpalities.V" In -the opinion of the attorneys representing cities, if the law is notf fixed:, so the cities can raise more money than they can under the present law other cities will default, and it will be impossible to' sell a bond from North Carolina within two weeks time. 1 . Following the presentation - of the cause for the call of the meeting by President Gallitan Roberts, mayor ' of Asheville, and expressions from a num ber of other ' city officials, the motion; asking the-governor ; to can inespe-r cial session was unanimously adopted and a special commitee of five .was ap pointed to draft the "resolution "which would express this v wish and. convey this message to the governor. : The com mittee was composed of Gallatin Rob erts, John Hinsdale, city attorney mt. Raleigh; T. C. "Wade.-of Morehead City; Sifney C. Chambers, of 'Durham, and John D. Langston. of Goldsboro. t Preeitfeat Roberta-saidi that- - he 'had talked to Governor Morrison 1 while the chief executive 'was in . AsheviUe ref cently and had been assured' by .the governor that if there were a necessity; for the special, session he would call one, but that Mr. Roberts was sure thai' the governor would have to be shown; very positively that the epeeial session route was'the only way out. Mr. Rob-, erts himself said in his opening speech . that the special session was the only avenue of escape from the present mud dled condition of municipal -finances. We are in this " condition, through no fault of our own. ' The legislature made this mistake which puts us ., in this condition, and the legislature should correct it," Mr. Roberts de clared. "One of the .best lawyers Jin the country has told me that the sit uation is so critical that he would hesi tate to express an opinion about it," the Asheville mayor continued. 'Unless- something is done some cUits'fSnd towns in North Carolina wyi! have to default ia their -interest payments." Attorneys Dresent ; aereed with the city officials that the suggestion, of Governor Morrison that the cities could borrow sufficient money r to . tide them over until 1923 and the slmfla sugges tion that some of the bankers , would be willing to lend the cities he money, was not practical, since there . was n law for borrowing this money. Some of the city attorneys declared. that? they would not be willing ; to sign' the , city notes for borrowing money in this man ner because It would be. :'.Ujegat.-.-a1Id would subject them , to "'. indictment. Other attorneys declared' that ' the banks would not be "willing to Mend the money when they ''u.Hderstoq5that "t was beins- borrowed mere! v because the lack of legal authority to get in any other wa.V Thv 'Ha 'nrit Yni- rlieve any attorneys would Approve the "iiKing sucn a loan, v - :; j. - In addition to thjs, the average North Carolina bank would merely taKfclthe city note if the sum were aJarge ne, and rediscount it in 'New' York.- Then there would be more trouble for, the ati wney for the New Tork, banks' would r'e certain to hold up anf'sucb :a -pa-per.
