After the present year, the State and City Supplement May and November, instead of in April The reason for the change is that experience will be issued in and October. has shown that April is too early to have all the new legislative enactments, many of the legislatures being still in session when the April number of the Supplement is issued. the date to May this objection will be in By advancing large measure removed. NEED OF A NEW METHOD FOR AMENDING 7 BE SA VINQS BANK /^ VESTMENTLA W. Jaat about a year ago in the colQmns of the Chronicle (iasue of April 12 1902) we pointed out certalii defects In the present method of extending the list of secnrities in which the savings instltations of State are allowed to invest their funds. this The matter brought forcibly to notice by a letter received week from one o? the officials of a prosperous town in Massachusetts whose securities are not in the permissible list, and also by the introduction of bills at this year's session^of the Legislature at Albany proposiog amendments in the same way as in the past, is ajjaia by us that last is We named securities. year how the list of 1903. 11, No. 1972. It will be seeir that for tbe ten years there 33U,673. has been an expansion of nearly 473 million dollars. was not 6 till It 1898 that tbe banks were given authority mortgage securities. The original privilege graated was a narrow one, but has been greatly enlarged since then in fact some new admissions have been granted in nearly every year since. The additions to the list, however and that has been the unfortunate and the objectionable feature have all been made, at least in the case of railroads to invest in railroad — — outside of the State, by specifying by name the roads which in the view of the legislator contain the essentials calculated to make their securities safe lodgment for the funds of savings institutions. Sach a method of selection is necessarily piecemeal and haphazard. Ic admits the securities of one road and leaves out the securities of another posaesslng perhaps equal merit, but which has been overlooked or has had no friends to advance its claims. As a result of this species of legislation a permissible bod7 of investments has been built up, which while on the whole of a high grade yet contains securities differing widely in some respects, and which conform to no definite or uniform standard. It aljO comprises anomalies, such as the inclasion of such a minor road as the Fonda Johnstown & GloversvlUe in the list;. Another argument against the retention of this old those method that always leaves any additions open to the impuis it proposing that they have some interested purpose to serve when they may be solely animated by a desire to facilitate the work of savings bank officials in obtaintation ing desirable classes of secarities. jection is list It is —a Still another obthat before admission can be gained to the necessary to enlist the support of some legis- — Senator or an Assemblyman make him acquainted with the merits of the security in question and then get enough other Senators and Assemblymen interested in the proposition to push it along and inlator sure success for it. The law remaining as it is, it is not surprising that by the addition of specifically bills showed giving legislative sanction to some morj railroad bonds, but always by the sime plan. One of these bills, in our article of last legal investments had been enlarged from time to time and broadened in scope, and also showed how imperative has been the need for very extensive new additions. The lapse of another year makes the argument in that respect all the more convincing. Between Jmuary 1 1893 and January 1 1898 the aggregate resources of the savings banks of this S^ate increased from $718,464,662 to 1869,761,244. Iq the five years since then the amount has risen to $1,191,- shonld have been introduced at this year's session should it become a law, will add the mortgage bonds Chicago St. Pdul Minneapolis & Omaha Railway Company to the list of bonded obligations in which banks are authorised to invest. The St. Paul & Ojiaha Railroad is a prosperous concern, paying dividends on both classes of stock, with a larg^i yearly surplus in excess of the dividend reqairements, and there is no reason whatever why a bank should not be of the BTfirt AWD CITY SUf ftEMENT. bonds. Bat wby perslso iu tne old not set np certain general requirerestrictions, and let all roads come in that fall within the limits so defined ? The argument applies with equal if not greater force to the list of muaicipal investments allowed the savings institutions. It may be recalled that it was more particularly this feature of the law which gave rise to such active discussion a year ago. la other words, much bitterness of feeling was aroused at that time by the passage of an Act adding the bonds of Los Angelep, Cal., to the list. Governor Odell, after hearing arguments pro and con, finally gave his ap proval to the measure, and no ill result has followed from the inclusion of those particular bonds. The fact is, however, that the method of specifying by name is as objectionable here as in the case of the railroad investments. Outside of New York the municipalities whoie securities may be purchased are all separately specified. There is no general rule giving admission to all of like] merit and like characteristics. As it happens, too, In this case the list has been scarcely enlarged at all in recent years. Los Angeles, brought within the fold last year, was the first accession since 1897, when Holyokf, Mass., and Camden, N. J., were added. This list as it now stands Inclades Boston, WorcesCambridge, Lowell, Fall River, Springfield ter, and Holyoke, in Mass.; Providence, R I ; New Haven and Hartford, Conn. ; Portland, Me. ; Paterson, Trenton, Newark and Camden, N. J. ; Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Allegheny, Reading and Scranton, Pa. ; Baltimore, Md. ; Louisville, Ky. ; Cleveland, Cincinnati and Toledo, Ohio ; Detroit and Grand Rapids, Mich.; St. Louis, Mo.; Minneapolis and So. Paul, Minn. ; Des Moines, Iowa ; Milwaukee, Wis., and Los Angeles, Cal. There are many other cities that might be added to the list and for whose exclusion no valid reason can be assigned. Would it not be a good idea to follow the plan in vogue In some other commonwealths, and name the States and lee all bonds of municipalities in those States whose debt does not run above a certain percentage of the assessed values form legal investments taking care to make the limits strict enough to exclude everything involving a possible hazard, but broad enough not to shut the door against anything really desirable ? How the present law works is illus trated by the following letter which has come to us, as already stated, from an ofl&cial of a leading town in Massachusetts Brookline : Treasuey op Brookline, ) Brookline, Mass., March 80, 1908, allowed to bny method ? ments and its Why — — ) Editor Financial Chronicle: Dear Sir— I come to ask for some information. If you will take the trouble to look upon page 355 of the Treasurer's report and examine the statement of the limit of indebtedness, yen will understand that inasmuch as other muEicipalities in Massachusetts can borrow money on long periods at a lower rate than I have yet been able to do for this, the wealthiest town in the world, I am naturally desirous of availing of their facilities. Their advantage arises from the fact that your State Legislature has approved their bonds as investments for the State Savings Banks. Will you be good enough to tell me what steps 1 shall take n order to pet the matter before the Legislature with a pros pect of as favorable action as they received? ThackiDg you in advance for your courtesy, I remain, Very truly yours, Geo. H. Woethley, Treasurer and Collector. The foregoing letter is Interesting as emphasizing known before that the privilege given by State laws to invest in the securities of a mun- — what was — certain to add to the market values of the securities of such municipality. Brookline, Mas?., as icipality Is everyone knows, comprises an exceedingly prosperous The Treasurer of that municipality is authority for the statement that he cannot sell the bonds of his town on the same favorable terms as community. Vol. LXXVI other muuicipallties In M^ssacbusetts, simply because, he states, the New York Legislature has approved the bonds of these other municipalities as investments for New York savings institutions, but has not approved those of his own town. If the different municipalities whose obligations appear to be gool investments are to be picked out by special selection, then there seems no reason whatever why Brookline should not be comprised in the list. The town on the first of February this vear had a total debt of only $1,440,996, of which $263,686 consisted of water debt, leaving the net debt only $1,178,310, which is less than 1^ per cent of the assessed valuation, this valuation lor 1902 having been $86,093,800. Certainly the bonds of a municipality so situated as this ought to be a good investment. We may suppose that they would be in the favored class if any one had been suflBciently interested in them to apprise the Legislature of their merits. The fact tbat they remain outside the pale of the law is the best evidence that the present method of extending the list in this State is defective, and that some general provisions should be incorporated in the as statute broad enough to admit municipalities as favorably situated as Brookline. Well guarded restrictions and requirements are needful and should be enforced, but they should be general, and should place all municipalities of like grade and merit upon an equal footing. This rule would obviate the necessity for resorting to special legislation when some desirable securities come before the public, would no longer leave the Legislature open to the suspicion of interested motives, and would do away with the need for amending the law at each session of the Legislature^ securities of all MUNICIPAL BOND SALES LURING 1902. At the end of this article we furnish two very ex> tensive compilations, occupying a page, which together afford a complete analysis of the municipal bond sales for the calendar year 1902. This is in con- tinuation of the practice begun in our April SupplrMEi^T for 1902, in which we presented a similar analysis for the calendar year 1901. As stated by us at the time, it is our intention to continue these analyses year by year. In the course of time, therefore, the student and the economist will have data which should prove very serviceable both for present use and future reference. We may repeat our remark of twelve months ago, that no such comprehensive statements concerning municipal bond sales have previously been attempted anywhere except in the case of the decennial Censuses of the United States Government. Dealing first with the grand aggregates we find that altogether $148,463,584 of State and municipal bonds were disposed of during 1902. Turning now to our statement for 1901, the aggregate then is seen to have been $131,549,300. Here apparently is an increase of 17 million dollars. At the outset, however, It is proper to state that to the extent of, roughly, 9:^ million dollars the increase is apparent rather than real. Our figures for 1902 comprise new bond New York is- City to amount of $9,265,467 taken by the city sinking fund. In previous years we have been unable to obtain statements of the new Donds purchased by the sinking fund. Allowing for this item, therefore, the increase would be somewhat less than 8 million dollars Instead of 17 million dollars. Of the $148,463,684 bonds put out in 1902, $22,309,461 were for refunding, leaving the net addition $126,In 1901 $16,731,457 out of $131,549,300 154,123. were for refandlog, leaving the net addition in that year $114,817,843. Thus in the net amount of bonds put afloat there was an increase of about 11^ millloa dollars. This inciease is subject to the same qualifithat is, alcations as that in the grand aggregate sues of — April, lowaoce must be mado for the inclusion in 1902 of New York City bonds taken by the city's sinking funds. It should be distinctly understood that in our compilations we have taken no account In either year of temporary loans Issued, as these represent no permanent additions, being usually taken up out of tax collections within a brief period after their emission. Another point 3 BTftlt fifin CITY SUfftElvrENT, 1903. geographical distribution of the new bonds. As in the previous year, the bulk of the whole amount is found in the North Atlantic Division, comprising the New England States, together with New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania; $83,432,142 of new bonds out of the grand total of $148,463,584 ctime from that section, New York State alone furnishing $42,746,727 of the In 1901 the North Atlantic Division $83,432,142. had $76,782,641 of new bonds out of $131,549,300. New York S^ate then figured for $37,377,211, against the $42,745,727 in 1902, the latter including, as already stated, $9,255,467 bonds taken by the New York City sinking fund. After the North Atlantic Division the North Central Division stands next in prominence, this having supplied $45,779,061 of new bonds in 1902 against $28,040,470 in 1901. Ohio comes in with $22,688,867 Cincinnati in 1902, against only $10,650,000 in 1901. is responsible for the bulk of the increase in that State ; the city put out $7,810,000 of refunding bonds to take up $8,000,000 of Cincinnati Southern binds which had matured. Cleveland also had larger sales. Its aggregate for 1902 having been $3,810,000, against $1,277,000 in 1901 ; $1,200,000 of water bonds and $700,000 of City Hall bonds figured in that city's total for 1902, against nothing for either purpose in the previous year. Missouri is another State in the North Central Division which shows a greatly enlarged total, it having put out $5,899,136 of bonds in 1902, against But the $5,000,000 of bonds $1,201,719 in 1901. issued by St. Louis in aid of the coming Exposition at that point reveals the reason for this increase. AH the other grand divisions record smaller totals for 1902 than for 1901, namely the South Atlantic Division, the South Central Division and the Western Division. State bonds form an even smaller proportion of the whole than in 1901, namely $6,908,000 against $13,672,800 for 1901. As is known, very few States are adding to their bonded Indebtedness outside of Massa chusetts, in which State there is no constitutional limit upon the power of the commonwealth to borrow, and where also the State seems to assume a number of functions ordinarily performed by municipalities. Massachusetts created $5,363,000 of new bonds (of which 3^ million was for water, $748,000 for buildings, $665,000 for grade crossings and highways, and $450,000 for park purposes), against $11,261,800 put out by the commonwealth in 1901, of which $8,500,000 had boen for water, $2,000,000 for sewer, $260,000 for parks, besides $501,800 for buildings and armories. Only six other States besides Massachusetts put out any State bonds In 1902 and the aggregate for the whole six was only $1,546,000. Another instructive feature of these tabulations is that it shows the amounts and proportions of bonds issued at different interest rates. The greater part of the new Issues bears Interest rates runniog from 3 to 4 per cent. The amounts put out at 3 per cent, at 3^ per cent and at 4 per cent aggregate $123,430,242, or 83-13 per cent of the whole, against $107,604,"? 94, or 81'79 per cent issued at these interest rates in 1901. It should not escape attention that notwithstanding the larger proportion of bonds put out at interest rates of 3 to 4 percent (indloatiog thereby that smaller proportions were put out at rates above 4 per cent), the tendency of Interest rates was nevertheless disof interest is as to the tinctly upward Only 8*19 per cent of the bonds was 3s in 1902, as against 8'42 per cent in 1901, and the exratio for 1902 would be only 1*96 per cent cept for the inclusion of the $9,255,467 New York City bonds taken by the sinking fund, which were all 33; only 51*74 per cent were 3^8, against 52 "41 per cent In 1901 ; while 2320 per cent were 48, as against no more than 20-96 per ceat in 1901. These facts are made patent in the following table. It is proper to state that the $5,000,000 of Exposition bonds put out by St. Louis in 1902 were 3:^ per cents, but have been included in our column called "Unknown and Unusual Rates of Interest," because there was not room enough in our compilations to insert an extra column for this issue alone.

There are special reisons for the falling off In this instance. Thus Philadelphia put out $9,000,000 bonds for a filtering plant in 1901, as against $1,600,000 for mains and fire pipe lines in 1902. In like manner Los Angeles issued $2,000,000 for water in 1901 and nothing in 1902. The State of Massachusetts, as already stated, disposed of but 3^ millions of water bonds in 1902 as against 8^ millions in 1901. Generally speaking, more bonds were Issued for streets and roads, for schools, for sewers, and for buildings, than in the previous year. The total of bonds which are not classified (because they do not fall under any of the leading heads), which was large last year, is still larger the present year. In other words $33,736,586 of bonds fall in the miscellaneous column this year as against $24,738,602 in 1901. A few leading items account for the balk of this total of $32,736,586. Tttus there are the five millioa Louisiana Purchase Exposition bonds placed by St. Louis ; $12,600,000 of Rapid Traaslt and $2,350,000 of Dock bonds put out by New York City, and $750,000 of Rapid Transit and Tunnel bonds, $100,000 Ferry and $1,349,000 various municipal bonds emitted by Boston. The large items in the 1901 total were $11,000,000 of Rapid Transit and $560,000 of Dock bonds issued by New York City. Of dlstinctlvely'munioipal bonds (cities, towns, etc.,) $117,150,302 were placed in 1902, as against $93,925,101 for 1901. New York State contributed $40,450,094 of such municipal bonds, against $36,062,871 in 1901, of which $29,416,467 were supplied by New York City (including the $9,255,467 taken by the sinking fund), against $29,143,125 supplied by this city in 1901, without including the sinking fund takings.

For details of arrangement see Secretary Gige's circular with reference to the operations for carrying out the refunding provisions of the bill in Chronicle, March 17, 1900, page 509. Of these 2 per cents there were outstanding April 1, 1903, according to debt statement, $445,940,750. " LOAN OF 1908-1 918."— (Column 7.) The bonds included under this head are an issue of $200,000,000 3 per cents. They were authorized by Act of June 13, 1898, and are known as the " War loan." The law provided that in allotting said bonds the individual subscriptions of the lowest amount must be first allotted. On the day the Act was signed a Treasury circular was issued (see circular in Chronicle of June 18, 1898, page 1168,) inviting subscriptions for 32 days, from June 13 to July 14, for the amount of bonds stated, in both coupon and registered form, coupons in denominatfons of $20, $100, $500 and $1,000, and registered in denominations of same amounts, and also In $5,000 and $10,000, dated August 1, 1898, redeemable in coin at the pleasure of the United States after ten years from date of issue, and due and payable August 1, 1918.

"FUNDED LOAN OF 1907" (Column 2) 4 per cents. The act of July 14, 1870, authorized the issue of 1,000 million dollars of bonds at* per cent, payable in coin of the present standard value, at the pleasure of the United States after thirty years; these bonds to be exempt from all taxes or cfuties of the United States, as well as from taxation in any form by or under State, municipal or local authority. Bonds to be sold at not less than par in coin, and proceeds to be applied to the redemption of outstanding 5-20s, par for par. Outstanding (April 1, 1903), $233,179,200. " (Column 3).— Act of February 26, 1879, authorized the Secretary of the Treasury to issue in exchange of the United States certificates of deposit of the denomination of ten dollars, bearing interest at the rate of 4 per cent, and convertible at any time, with accrued interest, into the 4 per cent bonds described in the Refunding act the money so received to be applied only to the payment of the bonds bearing Interest at a rate not less than 5 per cent. On March 12, 1879, the issue of these certificates and their exchange into 4 per cent bonds were authorized; the certificates were to draw 4 per cent interest from April 1, 1879, and were convert! DiC in Bums of $50 or its multiples. The amount issued at the close of the fiscal year (June 30, 1879), was $39,308,110, but they had been converted 80 rapidly that there were outstanding at that date only $12,848,210. On October 31, 1879, the entire authorization "had been reached, the maximum amount of the issue being $40,012,750. Of these there were still outstanding on April 1, 1903, a total of $30,810. " 1925."— (Column 5.) Sales of bonds included under this designation were eflfeoted (1) in February, 1895, to the amount of $62,315,400 and (2) in February, 1896, to the amount of $100,000,000. In a message to Congress under date of February 8, 1895 (published in the Chronicle February 9, 1895, page 244), President Cleveland stated in substance that in pursuance of Section 3700 of the Revised Statues the details of an arrangement have this day been concluded whereby bonds authorized under the act of July 14, 1875, payable in coin at the pleasure of the United States after the first day of Feb., 1925, with interest at the rate of 4 per cent per annum, to the amount of $62,315,400, are to be issued for the purchase of gold coin amounting to a sum slightly in excess of $65,000,000, to be delivered to the Treasury of the United States, which sum added to the gold now held in our reserve will so restore such reserve as to make it amount to something more than $100,000,000. Such a premium is to be allowed to the Government upon the bonds as to fix the rate of interest upon the amount of gold realized at 3^p.c. per annum. At least one-half of thegoldto be obtained is to be supplied from abroad. Section 3700 of the Revised Statutes is as follows "Sec. 3700. The Secretary of the Treasury may purchase coin with any of the bonds or notes of the United States authorized by law at suoli rates and upon such terms as he may deem most advantageous to the public interest." For a construction of the "Refunding Act of 1870" and of the " Resumption Act of 1875," see Chronicle, February 18, 1893, page 205. The issue in February, 1896, was an ordinary offering, open to all bidders, of $100,000,000 of the same bonds as the foregoing— same in date, same in time of maturity, sam e in rate of interest and time of interest payments. Consequently both issues are called the "Loan of 1925," REFUNDING CERTIFICATES" for lawful money ; LOAN OF of which there are outstanding $118,489,900. 904."— (Column 4.) The act of January 14, 1875, authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to use any surplus revenues from "LOAN time to time in the Ti-easury not otherwise appropriated, and to issue, sell, dispose of, at not less than par in coin, either of the descriptlonB Of bonds of the United States described in the act of July 14, 1870, for the purpose of redeeming on and after January 1, 1879, in coin, at the otHce of the Assistant Treasurer of the United States at New York, the outstanding legal-tender notes when presented In sums of not lesii 1^ fifty dollars. Under this authorization, and for the purpose mentioned, there were issued in Feb., 1894, payable in 10 years, $50,000,000 of 000 of 5 per cents and in Nov., 1894, there were issued $5(J,000,000 more for similar bonds for same purpose.

It is not necessary to repeat all those figures. 1877, as that year antedates all of the issues now outstanding, and yet carries the record sufficiently far back to show the nature and extent of the Government securities when the refunding operations of that period began. It has the advantage, too, of giving separate and distinct each issue of bonds now outstanding. The statement is subjoined. We PRI NCIPAL OF THE PUBLIC DEBT OF THE UNITED STATES FROM JULY 1.

One of these refers to franchise and inheritance taxation and another V. 76, p. 610. to trust regulation. DEBT LIMITATION.—There is no restriction in the Constitution of New Hampshire upon the debt-making power of the people through the " General Court," except the following, which is the last clause of Article 5 of Part Second of that Instrument. Provided, That the General Court shall not authorize any town to loan or give its money or credit directly or indirectly for the benefit of any corporation having for its object a dividend of profits or in any way aid the same by taking its stocks or bonds. The above is an amendment to the Constitution, which was ratified in 1877. The amendment would appear to be intended as a complete estoppel to municipal loaning of money or credit to railroad and indusIt is to be noticed, however, that by its terms the trial corporations. restriction does not specifically mention "cities," the words being " any town." In addition to the foregoing is the " Municipal Bond Act of 1895." It tells in the matter of issuing bonds what a municipal corporation ; may do, what it must do, and what it cannot do. The law enacts: See, The term "municipal corporation " means town, city, school disSec. 2.

It wLU be noticed that this section contains a limit to the power granted of making subscriptions in aid of railroads—to wit That the subscriptions shall not exceed eight times " the grand Ust." To evolve the " grand list" in Vermont, the authorities first prepare a schedule of all the property, real and personal, of each individual, with valuations entered at their real value in money, deducting debts owing after this is done " the grand list " is made up by taking one per cent of that amount, according to Section 360, Chapter 26, of the Revised Statutes of 1894, which is as follows: "All real and personal estate shall, " except as otherwise provided, be set in the list at one per cent of its "value in money on the first day of April of the year of its appraisal.' Following Section 3102, above cited, which authorizes subscriptions In aid of railroads, are other sections describing the method in which these subscriptions must be made, by caUlng a town meeting, voting, &o., &c. Then follows Section 3108, authorizing the issue of bonds. Section 3108. Such town may issue bonds, with coupons payable semi-annually, to aid such road. The only other general authority granted for the issue of bonds by municipal corporations in Vermont is that given for refunding outstanding bonds and notes, and for road-making apparatus. The Sections which grant these powers are Sections 3111 to 3120, inclusi^re, (Chapter 141 of the Revised Statutes of 1894. Section 311 1 is as follows: Section 3111. A town which has outstanding and unpaid orders, notes, bonds or coupons lawfully issued, may issue other negotiable notes or bonds to pay or retire the same. Sections 3112 to 3115, Inclusive, give the method of issuing suoh bonds. By Section 3116 municipal corporations other than towns have the same refunding powers granted them which are conferred upon towns by the two sections last above cited. Sac no V 3118. A town, city or Imorporated village may issue bonds to'an amount not exceeding three times icsgrand list, for the purpose of purchasing road-making apparatus and for building permanent highways within the tha limits of such town, city or village. Sections 3119 and 3120 proviles for the method of issuing such bonds The only other section which we need quote is Section 3083 of CHiapter 139, which names the objects for which towns may vote money. If money is appropriated for any other object, the Charter or a special statute must be looked to for the authority. Section 3083.—Towns may vote such sums of money as they deem necessary for the support of the poor, for laying out and repairing highways, for the prosecution and defense of the common rights and interests of the inhabitants, and for other necessary Incidental town expenses. : ; POPULATION OF STATE.—United States Census.

It authorizes the investment of 70 p.c. of the assets in suoh mortgages, one-sixth at least of which " shall be upon real estate In this State "—that is Vermont. A jJroviso adds that only 50 per cent of the assetsmay be invested in mortgages on realestato outside of Vermont. Sections 4097 and 4098 relate only to obtaining and paying for insurance. Section 1099 is as follows, and has reference to investment on personal security. Section 4099—No loans or investments on personal security shall be made except upon at least two approved names, not less than two of whom reside in this State or within fifty inUes of the institution making such Investment, and such personal loans or investments shall not be for a longer time than one year; and not more than one-third of the assets of a savings bank, savings Institution or trust company shall be Invested in personal securities. Section 4100 only covers a single point; that is to say It restricts to five per cent of the deposits the amount which a savings bank may Invest in the lot and building for the transaction of Its business, and adds that a revenue may be derived from portions of the building not 14 STi^TE m^ CITY $U-? fiEMEWT. required for the bank's use.

Statutes general and special have, however, been passed on this subject with respect to Cities and Towns. All of these are found Incorporated in Chapter 27 of the Revised Statutes, a new edition of which embodying all the laws passed down to the Ist of January, 1902, has just been issued. The important sections of this chapter are cited below Section 1— Cities and towns shall not incur debts, except in the manner of voting and within the limitations as to amount and time of payment prescribed in t lis chapter. Section 2— The indebtedness of a city or town under the provisions of this chapter not inconsistent herewith shall be its net indebtedness* as defined in clause twelve of section live of chapter eight; but debts created in aid of railroad corporations, except as herein otherwise provided, and water scrip, issued by a town under special statutes for the Indebtedness of a tire distiict, and all other debts excei>ted by general or special statutes shall be excluded. * Fur meatiiiig of "net indebttdness" seK bottom of page 17.

Sec ION 6— Cities and towns may by a majority vote Incur debts for temporary loans in anticipation of the taxes of the municipal year In which such debts are incurred and expressly made payable therefrom by such vote.

The new law, in repealing Chapter 178 of the Laws of 1885, repealed a special Act limiting the indebtedness of the City of Boston to 2 per cent of the assessed valuation, etc etc. Boston consequently is now subject to Section 2, Chapter 312, Laws of 1885 (9eo. 3, Chap. 27 of the 1902 edition Revised Statutes), which places the debt limitation at 212 percentof the average asseseors'valuationsofthetaxable property for the preceding three years. Reference to this section of the Revised Statutes will be found in debt Limitations for State of Masschusetts. The foregoing limitation is of course exclusive of debts created for water supply, and further exceptions have been made from year to year by different legislatures, authorizing bonds outside of the debt limit for various purposes, especially enumerated. It is proper to state that under Chapter 93, Acts of 1891, the city is authorized to anticipate its authority to borrow money within its debt Limit for any current municipal year.

Article IV., of the State Constitution, the General Assembly has no power to incur State debt to an amount exceeding $50,000 without the consent of the people, except in time of war or ©f insurrection or invasion In no case is the Assembly to pledge the faith of the State for the payment of obligations of others without the m approval of the people. In reference to city debts, there is nothing the Constitution of Rhode Island limiting the amount of such obligations. The following, however, are two sections taken from Title 7, Chapter 36 (page 157) of the Revised Statutes of the State of 1896. Since 1878 these provisions have been in force, aud consequently 3 per cent of the taxable property has been the limit of the power of each town (which Includes city) to create debt. Section 20. " The outstanding notes, bonds and contracts of towns shall be paid and be f ultilled according to the tenor thereof, and all public worKs now authorized to be prosecuted shaU be prosecuted, and aU indebtedness now authorized to be incurred on account thereof may be incurred according to the tenor of the authority therefor. Section 21. No town shall, loUhont special stalutoru authority therefor, mcwc any debt in excess of three per centum of the taxable property of such town, including the Indebtedness of such town on the tenth dtiy of April, one thousand eight hundred seventy-eight, but the giving of a new note or bond, for a pre-existing debt, or for money borrowed and applied to the payment of such pre-existing debt. Is excepted from the provisions of this section, and the amount of any sinking fund shall be deducted in computing such indebtedness." SAVINGS BANK INVESTMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS.-In the Revised Statutes of Rhode Island (which were revised in 1896)Sections 54, 55, 56, etc., of Chapter 178, Title 19 (on page 548), will be found the provisions of law with reference to Savings Bank Investments. Section 54, which recites in detail the stocks, bonds, etc., these Institutions are allowed to put their money in is as follows Section 54. Institutions for savings shall invest their receipts— (1) In public stocks or bonds of any State or of the United States, (2) Or in any bank stock, or in notes or bonds of any town or city, (3) Or in notes of any school district or Hre district in any New Eng- land State, (4) Or in such corporate stocks or bonds as they may deem safe and secure. Or they may discount notes, bonds or drafts of individuals or corporations, with two other responsible endorsers, sureties or guarantors, (6) Or the notes, bonds ordratis of individuals or corporations secured by the public notes, stocks or bonds of any State of the United States, or of any town or city or of any school district or fire district in any New England State, or by the stock or bonds of any corporation which may be deemed to be safe, or by mortgage on real estate. Concerning Sections 55 and 56, the first appears to give savings Institutions quite extensive powers as to making and keeping deposits in commercial banks. When so kept, however, they are to be kept "payable on demand whether drawing interest or not." The two (5) sections are subjoined. Section 55.—No such Institution shall have an amount exceeding one-half of Its receipts invested in notes, bonds or drafts of individuals or corporations, unless secured by some public notes, bonds or stocks as aforesaid, or by mortgage on real estate; but the preceding section shall not be so construed as to forbid anj' such institution from placing and holding on deposit in any bank such reasonable amount of their receipts as is customary and they may deem proper, payable on demand, whether drawing interest or not. Section 56.—No money shall be loaned by any Institution for savings to any trustee, director or other officer of such institution. For the other provisions of the law as they now are we would refer our readers to the Revised Statutes of 1896.

PROPOSED NEW CONSTITUTION DEFEAT ED. -After a Constitutional Convention occupying over four months, tha document drafted by that body was defeated at a popular election on June 16, '02. DEBT LIMITATION.—The Constitution of Connecticut contains but a single provision restricting the debt-making power. The provision is Article 25, adopted as an amendment in 1877, and is as follows No County, City, Town, Borough or other Municipality, shall ever subscribe to the capital stock of any railroad corporation, or become the purchaser of the bonds, or make donation to, or loan its credit in aid of, any such corporation but nothing herein contained shall affect the validity of any bouds or debts incurred under exi.sting laws, nor be construedto prohibit the General Assembly from authorizing any Town or City to protect by additional appropiations of money of credit any railroad debt contracted prior to the adoption of this amendment. The foregoing is explicit and comprehensive, covering every municipality. There are no general restrictions In the Revised Statutes whatever restrictions have been made from time to time are contained ; - '\.7iTr^r^T<\cir-\r^T^js"-r Admitted S3 COTJT^EGTlOyT— I)I:BT Of ST7^T£.

According to section 140, chapter 23 of the Revised Statutes, " when any town shall have made appropriations " or incurred debts, or sliall hereafter make appropriations or incur " debts exceeding ten thousand dollars, it may issue bonds, either regis" tered or with coupons attached, or other obligations, payable at such " times and at such annual rate of interest not exceeding 6 per cent, " payable annually or semi-annually, as it shall determine," &c. Cities have had no such general authority conferred upon them. Exemption from Taxation nas been accorded by general statute to certain bonds issued by cities and towns to aid in the construction of railroads; and this exemption has been extended to new bonds issued for the purpose of redeeming or providing a fund to redeem the railroad aid bonds above referred to. This exemption is found in Section 3,820, Chapter 241 of the Revised Statutes (last clause of Section), and the bonds there named are those " issued by any town or city in aid of the " construction of the railroads of the Connecticut Western Railroad " Company, the New Haven Middletown & WiUimantic Railroad Com" pany, the Shepaug Valley Railroad Company, the Connecticut Valley " Railroad Co.. the Connecticut Central Railroad Company, or either of the State are "them." All railroads which are in whole or in part taxed by the State under Section 3920, Chapter 244 of the Revised Statutes, 80 that the tax on these bonds is paid by the railroads. Exemption from tax of new bonds issued to redeem or to provide a fund to redeem the railroad aid bonds, or to redeem or to provide a fund to redeem any reissue of the same, is conferred fully by an act approved June 19, 1889, and found in the "Public Acts" for that year.

Counties and Towns Cities, IN THE STATE OF COIS^NECTICUT. Note. —For debts of minor civil divisions not found] amo7ig the statements given below, see "Additional Statements" at the end of' this State. The relation which the towns, cities and boroughs of this State bear to one another is peculiar, and requires a word of explanation. The State is divided into eight counties, and these counties are made up of towns, numbering in the aggregate 168. The towns are the civil unit, and on the assessed valuation (which is called the " Grand List of each town ") is levied the tax for State purposes as weU as the tax for town expenditures. Within the town is often situated a city or a borough, or both, all of which may at the same time have bonds outstanding. There are ten cities, each with one exception bearing the same name as the town in which it lies. Of late several towns and cities whose limits were about identical have been consolidated and the outstanding bonds of both town and city are reported together without distinction. This Is the case with the city and town of Hartford, which previous to April, 1896, reported their debts separately. The city and town of New London have been consolidated and also Bridgeport city and town. On December 7, 1897, city,' town and school district of New Haven were likewise consolidated. The borough stands in about the same relation to the town as does the city. The grand list as determined for the town is used by both the city and the borough in levying taxes, the city, for instance, putting a its own on its share of the total grand list of the town. This tax additional to the town tax. In some instances the schools are in the charge of school districts, which also are empowered to issue bonds and to levy a tax, so that to cover the total tax paid by a city it Is necessary to take into account the State, town, city and school district levies. In the statements which foUow we give under one heading the town and city, wherever they bear the same name, for though distinct corporations, their debts are to a greater or less extent the debts of a single community. tax of is AGOEEGATE MUNICIPAL INDEBTEDNESS. total indebtedness of all the towns, cities, boroughs and counties in the State was in 1900 $27,624 827 42.

These provisions are found in Article 7. "We give the sections of that article (Article 7) below which have reference to the subject. State credit 7iot to be given.— Sectio'H 1. The credit of the State shall not in any manner be given or loaned to or in aid of any individual, association or corporation. — Stale debts, power to contract. Sec. 2. The State may, to meet casual deficits or failures in revenues, or for expenses not provided for, con- tract debts; but such debts, direct or contingent, singly or in the aggregate, shall not at any time exceed one million of doll.ars; and the moneys arising from the loans creating such debts shall be applied to the purpose for which they were obtained, or to repay the debt so contracted, and to no other purpose whatever. Slate debts to repel invasions.— Sec. 3. In addition to the above limited power to contract debts, the State may contract debts to repel invasion, suppress insurrection, or defend the St^te in war; but the money arising from the contracting of such debts shall be applied to the piu-pose for which it was raised, or to repay such debts, and to no other piu-pose whatever. Limitation of legislative power to create debts. Sec. 4. Except the debts specified in sections two and three of this article, no debts shall be hereafter contracted by or on behalf of this State, unless such debt shall be authorized by a law, for some single work or object, to be distinctly specified therein and such law shall impose and provide for the collection of a direct annual tax to pay, and suflScient to pay, the interest on such debt as it falls due, and also to pay and discharge the principal of such debt within eighteen years from the time of the contracting thereof. No such law shall take effect until it shall, at a general election, have been submitted to the people, and have received a majority of all the votes cast for and against it at such election. On the final passage of such bill in either house of the Legislature, the question shall be taken by ayes and noes, to be duly entered on the journals thereof, and shall be: "Shall this bill pass, and ought the same of the people?" The Legislature to receive the sanction may at any time, after the approval of such law by the people, if no debt shall have been contracted in pursuance thereof, repeal the same; and may at any time, by law, forbid the contracting of any further debt or liability under such law but the tax imposed by such act, in proportion to the debt and liability which may have been contracted, in pursuance of such law, shall remain in force and be irrepealable, and be annually collected, vmtil the proceeds thereof shall have made the provision hereinbefore specified to pay and discharge the interest and principal of suoh debt and liability. The money arising from any loan or stock creating suoh debt or liability, shall be applied to the work or object specified in the act authorizing such debt or liability, or for the repayment of suoh debt or liability and for no other purpose whatever. No such law shall be submitted to be voted on, within three months after its passage, or at any general election when any other law, or any bill, or any amendment to the Constitution, shall be submitted to be voted for or against. Sinking Fund, how kept and invested. Sec. 5. The sinking funds provided for the payment of interest and the extinguisliment of the principal of the debts of the State shall be separately kept and safely invested, and neither of them shall be appropriated or used in any manner other than for the specific purpose for which it shall have beea provided. — ; — DEBT LIMITATION.— Cities, Counties. Towns and Villages.— Constitution of New York State puts a general and uniform limit to the power of all counties and cities of the State to contract and put out their obligations, leaN-ing to the Legislature to fix the debt-making power of villages and towns only. These provisions are found in Article 8, Section 10. We give that section in full. The separation into paragraplis and the figures in parenthesis which number and begin the paragraphs are oui* own, we having mserted them so that those who need to refer to or use any particular portion can the more readily find the part desired. With that exception we give Section 10 of Article 8 as it reads, preserving oven the punctuation. (1) No county, city, town or village shall hereafter give any money or property, or loan its money or credit to or in aid or any individual, association or corporation, or become directly or indirectly the owaer nor shall any of stock in, or bonds of, any association or corporation such county, city, town or \'illage bo allowed to incur any indebtedness excei)t for county, oity, town or village purposes. This section shall not prevent such county, city, town or village from making such provision for the aid or support of its poor as may be authorized by law. (2) No county or city shall be allowed to become indebted for any purjiose or in any manner to an amount which. Including existing indebtedness, shall exceed ten per centum of the asses.sed valuation of the real estate of such county or city subject to taxation, as it appeared by the assessment rolls of said county or city on the last assessment for The new ; 40 ST/ITE AW CITY state or county taxes prior to the incurring of such imlehtedness and all indebtedness in excess of such limitation, except such as may now exist, shall be absolutely void, except as herein otherwise provided. per (3) No countv or city whose present indebtedness exceeds ten centum of the assessed valuation of its real estate subject to taxation, until such shall be allowed to become indebted in any further amount ; indebtedness shall be reduced within such limit. certif(4) This section shall not be construed to prevent the Issuing of icates of indebtedness or revenue bonds issued in anticipation of tlie collection of taxes for amounts actually contained, or to be contained in the taxes for the year when such certificates or revenue bonds are issued and pavable out of such taxes. issue of bonds (5) Nor shall this section be construed to prevent the to provide for the supplv of water but the term of the bonds issued to provide the supply of water sliall not exceed twenty years, and a sinktag fund shall be created on the issuing of the said bonds for their redeiuption, by raising annually a sum which will produce an amount equal to the sum of the principal and interest of said bonds at their maturity. , issued an(6) All certificates of indebtedness or revenue bonds ticipation of the collection of taxes, which are not retired within five years after their diite of issue, and bonds issued to provide for the supply of water, and any debt hereafter incurred by any portion or part of a city, if there shall be any such debt, shall be included in ascertaining the power of the city to become otherwise indebted. (7) Whenever hereafter the boundaries of any city shall become the same as those of a county, the power of the county to become indebted shall cease, but the debt of the county at that time existing shall not be tacluded as part of the city debt. [At the November 1899 election an amendment to the Constitution was adopted changing this paragraph to read as follows: Whenever the boundaries of any city are the same ap those of a county, or when any city shall include within its boundaries more than one county, the power of an3- county wholly included within such city to become indebted shall cease, but the debt of the county heretofore existing shall not, for the purposes of this section, be reckoned as a part of the city debt.] (8) The amount hereafter to be raised by tax for county or city purposes, in any county containing a city of over one hundi-ed thousand inhabitants, or any such city of this State, in addition to providing tor the principal and interest of existing debt, shall not in the aggregate exceed in any one year two per centum of the assessed valuation of the real and personal estate of such county or city, to be ascertained as prescribed in this section in respect to county or city debt. In May 1886 the New York Court of Appeals decided at the end of a litigation begun in July 1885 thai the sint:ing fund was not a part ot the city debt within the" meaning of the above provision of the Constitution limiting the creation of debt to 10 per cent of the assessed valuation of the real estate. Towns and Villages are not limited in their debt-making power by the Constitution. Those municipalities will be governed by general or ; m . special statutes. The 1895 Lei:islature passed an act "for the protection of bona flde purchasers and holders of coupon bonds and of municipal corporations against niLsfeasance, malfeasance or neglitrence of juiblic officers." The full text of this law was published in the Chronicle of June 8, 1895. V. 60, p. 1023. TAXATION.—In the Tax Law as given in Birdseye's Revised Statutes for 1901 (Section 4, Sub-division 6,) there is ageneial provision exempting from taxation "Bonds of this State to be hereafter issued by the Comptroller to carry out the provisions of chapter 'eventy-nine of the laws of eighteen hundred and ninetyfive" txhe Canal Law] and "bonds of a municipal corporation heretofore issued for the purpose of paying up or retiring the bonded indebtedness of such corporation." It will be seen that the reference is to municipal bonds heretofore issued, &c. In section 7, however, of the "general municiral law there is also atax-exempting clause, but one much broader In its scope, as it seems to apply to the funding of any bonds heretofore or hereafter put [out. In the case of New York City the existing provision of law govern Ing the matter will be found in the revised City Charter which went Into eft'ect Jan. 1, 1902. ThLs provides that "such corporate stock and all assessment bonds and revenue bonds, as well as all bonds hereafter to be issued by the City of New York by virtue of this Act or of any other Act, whether general or special, shall be fr- e and exempt from all taxation, except for State purposes— Section 169, Title 2. It remains to add that under special laws some New York City bonds are exempt from alt taxes, including those for State purposes. Such is the case as reeards the public-library bonds (Bryant Park) authorized by Chapter 627, Laws of 1900. EXEMPTION FROM SAVINGS BANK INVESTMENTS-POWERS AND RESTRICTIONS.— In 1898 the New Y'ork Legislature passed an amendment to paragraph 6, Sec. 116, of the Savings Bank law of 1892. The amendment extended investments of savings banks to first mortgage railroad bonds the principal part of whose railroad is located within this State, and m 1899 the field of railroad investments was still further enlarged. In 1900 the Chicago & Alton EU. was added to the list and other changes made in paragraph 6. In 1902 paragraph 6 was again amended by adding the bonds of certainother railroad corporations, as was also paragraph 5 by adding the city of Los Angeles, Cal. Further amendments are proposed at the present (1903) session of the Legislature. One of these adds the Chicago St. Paul Minneapolis & Omaha Railway bonds to the list of legal investments, while another amends subdivision 4 so as to permit investments in "interest-bearing obligations" of towns and villages in addition to cities and counties. Neither of these measures had become a law at the time of gotag to press. We give section 116 below as it stands after these various amendments. The changes and additions made by the 1902 enactments we Indicate by means of brackets I ]. Sec. 116. In what securities deposits may be invested. — The trustees of any savings banks may invest the moneys deposited therein and the income derived therefrom only as follows 1.

A good part of the old County of Queens is now included in the Greater New York, and a law changing tne name of that portion of the old county outside of Greater New York to Nassau County went Into effect January 1, 1899. The amount of the outstanding bonds of this county which will be chargeable to the city of New York has been finally determined by the Supreme Court (V. 71,p. 875.) Under this decision the city of New York is liable for $3,796,032 11 of the old debt of Queens County as it stood at the date of division, and the remaining $1,011,967 89 becomes an obli.gation of Nassau County. Instead of apportioning certain bonds to New York City and to Nassau County, the debt and interest will not be divided, but will be paid by New York City, Nassau County payins over its proportion as it becomes due. New York City pays -78952414973 of the principal and interest as it becomes due, and Nassau County -21047585027.

HISTORY OF DEBT.—New Jersey has always been a conservative State; there are consequently no facts out of which to construct a history of debt issues. In a report made in 1838 the tlnancial officer of the State affirmed that New Jersey had put out no obligations of any kind or loaned its credit to any company. The Con.stitution of 1844 forbade the creating of a State debt exceeding one hundred thousand dollars except for purposes of war, &c., as will more fully appear in the item below with respect to "debt limitation." This exception, under which it was allowable to exceed the hundred-thousand-dollar* limit became operative on the occasion of the breaking out of our Civil War. Quite a debt was created at that period. The last of these war bonds were retired on Jan. 1, 1902. DEBT.— With the exception of $116,000 certificates issued to the Commissioners of the Agricultural CoHe.ge under Act approved June 13, 1895, the State is now clear from debt, and has been since Jan. 1, 1902. At previous dates the debt was TOTAL Nov. 1, 1901 $660,400 $71,000 Nov. 1, 1895 Nov. 1, 1899 735,400 71,000 Nov. 1, 1894 Nov. 1,1898 Nov. 1, 1880 1.996,300 194,000 Nov. 1, 1897 Nov. 1, 1866 394,000 3,395,200 Nov. 1.1896 593,400 On Nov. 1, 1902, the cash balance on hand In the State ^und was $2,744,718 26; this fund also held on the same date 1,887 shares (par value $188,700). of the joint stock of the Delaware & Raritan Canal and Camden <fe Amboy Railroad and Transportation companies.

No general tax is imposed in New Jersey, the State deriving its revenue from other sources. DEBT LI MITATIONS.—1'lie provisions of law limiting and regulating the debt-making power in New Jersey will be better understood and the infoi-mation will be made more serviceable to the investor if arranged in accordance with the civil divisions to which the provisions apply. (1) THE STATE is restricted as to its debt-making power by the State Constitution. In Article IV, Section VI, paragraphs 3 and 4, the whole subject is disposed of. The third para,graph forbids a loan of the State's credit, and the fourth paragraph forbids the creation of debt. These provisions are as follows. 3. The credit of the State shall not be directly or indirectly loaned in any 4. case. The Legislature shall not in any manner create any debt or debts, liability or liabilities of the State, which shall singly or in the aggregate with any previous debts or liabilities at any time exceed one hundred thousand dollars, except for purposes of war, or to repel invasion, or to suppress insurrection, unless the same shall be authorized by a law for some single object of work, to be distinctly specified therein; which law shall provide the ways and means, exclusive of loans, to pay the Interest of such debt or liability .is it falls due, and also to pay and discharge the principal of such debt or liability within thirts'-five years from the time of the contracting thereof, and shall be irrepealable until such debt or liability and the interest thereon are fully paid and discharged and no such law shall take effect until it shall, at a general election, have been submitted to the people, and have received the sanction of a majority of all the votes cast for and against it at such election and all money to be raised by the authority of such law shall be applied only to the specific oliject stated tlierein, and to the payment of the debt thereby created. This section shall not bo construed to refer to any money that lias been, or may be, deposited with this State by the Government of the United States. According to tlie foregoing (4th paragraph), the power of the State for making debt is limited to $100,000, except (1) for purposes of war etc., and (2) when the authorization is for some single object of work specified therein, etc. In the latter case the mode of procedure is, as will be seen, given in the same parasrrapli of the Constitution. ; ; CITIES, OOUNTIES, TOWNS, Etc., are also restricted in the of debt by Article I, paragraphs 19 and 20, of the Constitution. M'o give the paragraph in full. 19. No county, city, borough, town, township or village shall hereafter give any money or propertj', or loan its money or credit, to or in aid of any individual, association or corporation, or become security for or be directly or indirectly the owner of any stock or bonds of any association or corporation. 20. No don.ation of laud or appropriation of money shall be made by the State or any municipal corporation to or for the use of any society, association or corporation wluitever. It wiU be noted that the above prohibition relates to the giving ol money, property or credit of cities, &c., to individuals, associations, or corporations, &c., and that the prohibition is absolute, forbidding the doing of such acts in any form, shape or mannei". There is one othei restriction of tlie State Constitution, and that is found in Article IV. (2) making of certain kinds L WEW JEpSET— CITIES April, 1903. Section VII., parasraph 11, which forbids the Legislature passing any specianaws "regulating the internal affairs of loicns and counties"; In this and in all other cases in which according to the jud.gment of the Legislatm-e general laws are feasible, the Constitution states that general laws must be provided. In compliance with this last provision the Legislature has passea many general laws covering bonded indebtedness of cities, towns, etc. They are so numerous they cannot be cited here. We would refer the reader to the Revised Statutes of New .Tersey published in 1896 under the heading "Municipal Bonds" pages 693 to 716 both inclusive; and also to the same heading ("Municipal Bonds") pages 2220, etc. TAX EXEMPTION.—The State of New Jersey passed in 1893 a general statute which exempts from taxation the bonds, securities and other evidences of indebtedness of municipal corporations the provision covers not only the bonds, etc., to be hereafter issued, but those as well that have been heretofore issued. It is a sweeping statute, and one which is of decided interest to the holders of the municipal securities of the State. The full text of it may be found in the State and Citv Supplement for October, 1898, page 58. POPULATION OF STATE.—Population has been as follows. ; 672,035 1820 489,555 1810 373,306 1800 320,823 11790 1,883,869 1860 1,444,933 1850 1,131,116 11840 1900 1890 1880 1870 i I ' I 906.096 ' i 1830 277,575 245,562 211,149 184,139 SAVINGS BANKS' INVESTMENTS-POWERS AND RESTRICTIONS.—The last general savings bank law of New Jersey was passed in 1876. Since then the legislative tendency in the matter *! Investments has been in the direction of allowing the management ol these institutions a wider choice and a larger discretion. In 1878 the limits of the 1876 law were broadened in several particulars by anew act of two sections, the first taking the place of section 26 of the act o 1876. In 1886 still another law was passed in place of the first section of the law of 1878. Again in 1889 an act was passed extending materially the provisions of section two of the law of 1878, which cov. ered the same subject matter contained in section 29 of the original law of 1876, and thereby section 26 of the law of 1876 was superseded by the law of 1886, and section 29 was superseded by the law of 1889. In 1901 Section two was further amended in the way specified below. In 1896 a supplement approved March 30, 1896 (Chapter 139, laws of 1896) to the law of 1876, making school district bonds an authorized investment, went into effect. In 1897 an act was passed (approves AprU 9) authorizing investments in bonds issued by commissioners appointed by the Supreme Court of the State. In 1899 a further supplement extending the permissible line of municipal investments 80 as to include the bonds of townships and boroughs was approved March 24. An attempt to add such securities to the list was made in 1898, but the measure then failed to receive the approval of the Governor. The 1899 law Is as follows Section 1. it shall be lawful for any savings bank in this State to invest its funds in the bonds of any city, county, town or township of tbis State issued pursuant to the authority of any law of this State, or in the bonds of any borough or village or school district of this State issued pursuant to the authority of any law of this State; provided, such borough, village or school district shall not, within the ten years next preceding, have defaulted in the payment of any part of either principal or interest of any legal debt or obligation thereof; and prorided/itriAe?', that the total indebtedness of any such borough or village does not exceed ten per centum of its assessed valuation, and such school district bonds are by law charged upon all the property of the inhabitants of such district, or in any interest-bearing obligation (other than obligations commonly known as improvement certificates) issued by the city, county, town, township, borough or village in which such bank or institution is situated. The following is the law of 1897 (approved April 9, 1897): "Sec. 1. It shall be lawful for any bank, trust company, savingsbank or savings institution * * * incorporated under the laws of this State, to invest moneys belonging to or deposited with any such comSanies in any bonds authorized by the laws of this State to be issued y any commission appointed by the Supreme Court of this State by Tirtue of any law of this State." We omit the law of 1896 with reference to school district bonds because its provisions are included in the laws of 1899, quoted above. Next we give the leading provisions of the general law as to invest- ments. first section of the act of which this is a sujiplesame is hereby amended so as to read as follows That it shall not be lawful, from and after the passage of this act, for any savings bank or other savings institution, whether chartered or Section l. ment be and That the the : Incorporated under a general or special act of the legislature of this State, and any provision contained in the charter, or any supplement teereto, of such savings bank or savings institution to the contrary, to Invest the moneys deposited with the same in any manner, except as follows, to wit I. In the stocks or bonds or interest-bearing notes or obligations of the United States, or those for which the faith of the United States is distinctly pledged to provide for the payment of the principal and interest thereof; II. In the interest-bearing bonds of this State; III. In the bonds of any State in the Union that has not, within ten Tears previous to making such investment by any such bank or institution, defaulted in the payment of any part of either principal or interest of any debt authorized by any legislature of such State to be contracted. rv. In the stocks or bonds of any city, town, county or village of this State, issued pursuant to the authority of any law of this State, or of ttie cities of New York, Brooklyn and Philadelphia, or in any interestbearing obligations (other than those commonly known as improvement certificates) issued by the city, town or borough in which such bank or institution shall be situated (See below for provision including the bonds of certain cities and counties of any State in the U. S). V. In bonds secured by mortgages which shall be a first lien on real estate situate in this State, and worth at least double the amount loaned thereon, but not to exceed eighty per centum of the whole deposits shall be so loaned or invested ; but in case the loan is on unimproved or unproductive real estate, the amount loaned thereon shall not be more than thirty per centum of its actual value and no investment in any bondand mortgage shall be made by any savings bank, except upon the report of a conimittee of at least three of the managers, directors or trustees of any such bank or institution, and a majority of which committee shall certify to the value of the premises mortgaged, or to be mortsaged, according to their best judgment; such report shall be filed and preserved among the records of the institution VI. In real estate strictly in accordance with the following proTisions. ; ; We do not reprint the real estate provisions, as they cover a matter not germane to our present subject. It is sutHcient to say that they are two in number, marked (a) and (b), and may be summarized as below (a) authorizes the holding of a plot for erection of a banking building or buildings, portions of which may be rented, but the cost of lot •nd buildings must not exceed 50% of the net surplus of the corporation; : m^ 59 TOWNS. (b) all purchases under foreclosure sales upon mortgages owned by the corporation or sales under iudgments or decrees obtained for debts due, etc.; and all such real estate must be sold within five years unless, on application to the State Board having supervision of Savings Banks, time shall be extended. But the character of permissible investments was further greatly enlarged by the law of 1886, which is as follows Section l. That it shall be lawful for any savings bank or savings institution, incorporated under any law of this State, to invest moneys depo8it«d with it in the bonds of any city or county of any State of the Unitea States of America, which have been or may be issued pursuant to the authoritv of any law of any such State; provided, no such city or county has, within ten years previous to making such investment by any such savings bank or savings institution of this State, defaulted in the payment of any part of either principal or interest of any debt authorized by law of such State to be contracted; and provided, further, that the total indebtedness of any such city or county is li raited by law to ten percentum of its assessed valuation. By another Act the banks also have the risht to invest in railroad bonds under certain restrictions. The authorization was given by Section 2 of an Act approved February 22. 1888. Subsequently (April 27, 1888,) this Section 2 was repealed. On March 27, 1889, however, The section is as follows it was again re-enacted. Section 2. That it shall be lawful for any savings bank in this State to invest its funds iu first mortgage bonds of any raUroad company which has paid dividends of not less than four per centum per annum regularly, on their entire capital stock, for a period of not less than five years next previoas to the purchase of such bonds, or in any consolidated mortgage bonds of any such company authorized to be issued to retire the entire bonded debt of such company. The other law referred to above passed in 1889 amending section 2 of the law of 1878 is as below. It relates to loans on collaterals. As noted above, a slight but very important alteration in the phraseology of this section was made by a law approved March 2 J, 1901, and which forms chapter 148 of the laws of 1901. The new words intro: duced are indicated by brackets ] below. Section 2. Hereafter it shall not be lawful for any saving insti" tutlon in this State to loan the money on deposit with the same, or any part thereof, upon notes, biUs of exchange or drafts, excepting upon the additional pledge of collateral security or securities, which collateral security or securities shall be of the same nature and character as those in which the money deposited may be invested as directed in the first section of this Act, or the capital stocks of national and State banks, or [the capital stock or bonds of] other corporations of this State, which nave not defaulted in the payment of iuterest [or] dividends within two years next precediug the time of such loan, and then only to the extent of eighli/ per centum of the market value of such collaterals provided, that the total amount of such loans shall not exceed fifteen per centum of the total deposits held by such institution. In addition to the foregoing (according to section 27 of the general law of 1876) the managers can keep on hand or on deposit in any bank In the State, or in any trust or safe deposit company in New Jerseyi New York or Pennsylvania, an available fund of not exceeding ten per cent of the whole amount of deposits with such corporation, or loan the same on pledge of the securities named in the first section cited above. Also (according to section 28 of the general law of 1876) they can deposit temporarily in banks the excess of daily receipts over payments until such time as they may be judiciously Invested.

Under the Martin Act, however, passed some years ago by the Legislature, arrears of taxes are made liens on the property, and if not paid within three years the property can be sold to satisfy them. The city has also succeeded in at\}usting the taxes with the railroads, and the latter now pay into the treasury about $225,000 annually. On Feb. 13, 1900, the citizens authorized the purchase of a water plant (now building) for the sum of $7,595,000. V. TT7'T3 CTTAT" Oi 1 I d Jl-rtOJ::. I r^TT^'V LOANS- NAME AND PURPOSE.

Income Is derived from tax on capital stock on money at interest, on collateral inheritances, on corporate loans, on bonus on charters, etc., etc. DEBT LIMITATION— In Pennsylvania the limit to the indebtedness and to the indebtedness of the cities and minor civil organizations in the State, is fixed by the State Constitution. 1. State indebtedness.— With regard to the State, the regulations controlling and governing debt creation, pajTnent, &c., are found in Sections 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, 13 and 14 of Article IX of the Constitution, and are as follows. Article IX, Sec. 4. No debt shall be created by, or on behalf of, the State except to supply casual deficiencies of revenue, repel invasions, suppress insurrection, defend the State in war, or to pay existing debt and the debt created to supply deficiencies in revenue shall never exceed, in the aggi-egate at any one time, one million of dollars. Section 5. All laws authorizing the borrowing of money by, and on behalf of, the ^ate shall specify the purpose for wliich the money is to be used, and the money so borrowed shall be used for the purpose speciof the State, and no other. Section 6. The credit of the Commonwealth shall not be pledged or loaned to any indi\idual, company, corporation or association, nor shall the Commonwealth become a joint-owner or stockholder in any company, association or corporation. Section 11. Toprovideforthepaymentof the present State debt, and any additional debt contracted as aforesaid, the General Assembly shall continue and maintain the sinking fvmd sufficient to pay the accruing interest on such debt, and annually to reduce the principal thereof by a smn not less than two huutli-ed and fifty thousand dollars the said sinking fund shall consist of the proceeds of the sales of the public works, or any part thereof, and of the income or proceeds of the sale of any stocks owned by the Commonwealth, together with other funds and resources that may bo designated by law, and shall be increased fi-om time to time by assigning to it any part of the taxes or other revenue of the State not required for the ordinary and current expenses of government, and unless in case of war, invasion or insurrection, no part of the said sinking fund shall be used or applied otherwise than in the extinguishment of the public debt. Section 12. The moneys of the State, over and above the necessary reserve, shall be used in the _i)aymout of the debt of the State, either directly or through the sinking fund, and the moneys of the sinking fund shall never be invested in or loaned upon the security of anything except the bonds of the United States or of tills State. Section 13. The moneys held as necessary reserve shall be limited by law to the amount required for current expenses, and shall be secured and kept as may be provided by law. Monthly statements shall be published, showing the amount of such moneys, where the same are deposited, and how secured. Section 14. The making of profit out of the public monevs, or using the same for any purpose not authorized by law, by any officer of the State, or member or officer of the- General Assembly, shall be a misdemeanor, and shall bo punished as may be provided by law; but part of such i)uiiishmeiit shall be disqualittcation.to hold office for a period of not less than five years. State loans in Pennsylvania, whether created for original indebtedness or authorized to fund existing indebtedness, are usually negotiated through the Governor and Commissioners of the sinking fund. The last act of the Pennsylvania Legislatui'O authorizing a public loan was the act of Juno 8, 1881, when a thirty-year loan was etteoted to fund existing Indebtedness at a lower rate of Interest. fied M ftmBY ly/^m/^— cir itB April, 1903. The earliest date at which the last of the existing indebtedness of Pennsylvania will mature is February 1, 1912, and, under existing arrangements the accumulations in the sinking fund will at that time pay the total State indebtedness. and Municipal Jnefefttedness.— Under the laws of (2) County Pennsylvania the power to create county loans is in the Board of County Commissioners, which consists in each countv.of three persons, elected tri-ennially under the minority system of voting, by which the minority party in each County usually has one member of the Board. In cities and boroughs the power to create indebtedness is vested in councils, municipal debts being created by ordinance. The creation of county, city and other municipal indebtedness l8 subject to the following constitutional limitations. Article IX, Sec. 7. The General Assembly shall not authorize any county, city, borough, township or incorporated district to become a stockholder in any company, association or corporation, or to obtain or appropriate money for, or to loan Its credit to, any corporation, association, institution or individual. Section 8. The debt of any county, city, borough, township, school district, or other municipality or incorporated district, except as herein provided, shall never exceed seven per centum upon the assessed value of the taxable property therein, nor shall any such municipality or district incur any new debt, or increase its indebtedness to an amount exceeding two per centum upon such assessed valuation of property, without the assent of the electors thereof at a pubUo election in such manner as shall be provided by law but any city the debt of which now exceeds seven per centum of such assessed valuation may be authorized by law to increase the same three per centum, in the aggregate at any one time, upon such valuation. Section 9. The Commonwealth shall not assume the debt, or any part thereof, of any city, county, borough or township, unless such debt shall have been contracted to enable the State to repeal invasion, suppress domestic insurrection, defend itself in time of war, or to assist the State in the discharge of any portion of its present indebted; ness. Section 10. Any county, township, school district or other municiSality incurring any indebtedness shall, at or before the time of so oiag, provide for the collection of an annual tax sufficient to pay the interest, and also the principal thereof within thirty years. (3) Toionshipa and School I>istricts.—In the various school districts of the State the school directors have the power to create loans, subeot to the limitatio ns of Section 10 above quoted, to provide for the redemption of the same within thirty years. In townships, the only authority, except that of the school directors to borrow money, is in the road supervisors, who have no power to create bonded Lndebtedness, but simply to make a temporary loan for necessary expenses, which must be provided for by an assessment of sufficient township tax rate, known as road tax. POPULATION OF STATE.—The population of Pennsylvania has been reported as follows in the years named 1900 6,302,115 1860 2,906,215 1890 5,258,014 1850 2,311,786 1880 1840 4,282,891 1,724.033 1870 1830 3,521,951 1,348,233 I | i | 1820 1810 1800 1790 1,049.458 810.091 602,365 434,373 of starting the tirst savings institution in the United States. The name this association bore was the " Philadelphia Savings Fund Society," and it still exists, bearing the same name. Originally the bank was not incorporated, but was a voluntary organization, such Great Britain being at that time of a Uke character. The date of the organization was November 27, 1816, and the bank was opened for business December 2, 1816. Mr. Hutchinson, who, now societies in holds the office of .'President, states that the oldest ledger of the company goes back to the time of opening, and shows a deposit on that day ^December 2, 1816) of five dollars. The company was not incorporated until February 25, 1819. It is surprising that Pennsylvania, although engaged in such an early venture in the department of savings institutions, should Ijave made so little progress in the same department since. Indeed, the second organization does not bear date until 1847, and we think there had only been 10 mutual savings institutions organized in the whole State from 1816 down to the early part of 1890. We may assume, however that this slow development was in no measure due to a lack of desire (or savings banks on the part of the people of that common wealth. That such institutions were sought and needed is sufficiently evident from the fact that nine of the ten companies referred to above reported in 1890 that they held $63,957,341 of deposits. In 1889 a general law, facilitating the incorporation of savings banks, was passed by the Legislature. Since then there has been a small addition to the number of institutions, the total doing business In the State in November, 1902, being 15, with deposits aggregating $122,328,470 24. ments. A of the special charters are law passed in 1885, aU liberal as to invest- and a supplement of the same passed twenty years of special char- In 1889, authorizing the extension for ters, contains the following. "Provided also, that no * * * Savings Institution or Savings Bank having no capital stock, renewing or extending its charter, corporate rights and franchises, under the provisions of this act, shall thereafter be allowed the privileges of a bank of discount, nor be allowed to loan any money received on deposit, except first mortgage or lien upon real estate within this commonwealth, upon the bonds or securities of the United States or of this State, or upon county, city, borough, township or school bonOs of any county, city, borough, townhip or school district within this commonwealth, or any other good valid securities." Authority to loan on any " good and valid security "appears to confer about as broad a discretion upon the managers as could be expressed in a statute. In 1897 an Act was passed allowing savings iDStitutions and saving* banks chartered under special acts to invest In Pennsylvania county and municipal bonds notwlthst anding any provisions of their charters. The law follows: Chapter 77. Laws of 1897.— From and after the passage of this Act all provident Institutions, savings institutions and savings banks, chartered under special acts of this Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, may. notwithstanding any pi-ovistons of tbeir charter, loan the moneys received by them on deposit upon the bonds of any county, city, borougb, township or school district within this Commonwealth, and 07 towwa. issued pursuant to the authority of any law of this Commonwealth for the payment of which the faith and credit of the municipality issuing them are pledged. It was not until 1889, as already stated, that a general law faciliThat tating the organization of savings institutions was passed. law of 1889 is indeed well adapted not only for facilitating, but for stimulating, the gi-owth of the system. Its influence In the latter direction would seem to be assured under the liberality of the provi.sions respecting investments. The following is section 17, which contains the investment limitations; we would especially direct attention to subdivision four of tliis section: Section 17.— It shall be lawful for the trustees of any savings bank to invest money deposited therein only as follows: (1.) In the stocks or bonds or interest-bearing notes or the obligations of the United States, or those for which the faith of the United States is pledged to provide for the payment of the interest and the principal. (2) In the stocks or bonds of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania bearing interest. (3) In the stocks or bonds of any State in the Union that has not within ten years previous to making such investments, by such corporation, defaulted in the payment of any part of either principal or interest of any debt authorized by any Legislature of such State to be contracted. (4) In the stocks or bonds of any city, county, town or village of any State of the United States, issued pursuant to the authority of any law of the State, or in any interest-bearing obligations issued by the city or county in which such bank shall be situated. (5) In bonds and mortgages on unincumbered, improved real estate, situated in this State. It will be noted that according to the foregoing (sub-division four), Pennsylvania savings banks are allowed to invest their deposits in the bonds and stocks of any city, county town or village in any of the United States. Furthermore, by the tifth subdivision bonds and mortgages are left to the discretion of the trustees in all purchases, except that they must be first mortgages on improved real estate in Pennsylvania. The next section (18) relates to the temporary deposit of funds in banks and trust comiianies. It makes it lawful to deposit temporarily in banks or trust companies the excess of current daily receipts over the payments until such time as the same can be judioiously invested in the securities named above.

SAVINGS BANKS INVESTMENTS.-There are in this State general banking laws under which savings banks may be organized, and yet we notice that as late as 1890 a special charter was granted incor. proating the Germania Sav Bank of Baltimore. However, in both the general and special laws there appears to be a pretty general authority granted for investing the deposits. The general law states that— Any savings Institution incorporated under this article shall be capable of receiving from any person or persons, or bodies corporate or politic, any deposit of money ichich shall be invested or loaned out on good security in the discretion of the directors; provided that no part of the funds of* said corporation shall be loaned to any offl,eer or director of such corporation. In the special law passed in 1890, which we have referred to above, the power to loan the deposits is made a little more definite. The section referring to that subject states that the " corporation shall have "power to borrow money, receive money on deposit, loan money 'taking such security therefor, either real orpersonal, as the Board of ' Directors may deem sufficient; provided that 710 part of the funds of " said corporation shall be loaned to an oMcer or director thereof." We cannot discover any marked difference in the two provisions cited, except that the enactment in the case of the new Baltimore bank states distinctly that the security can be either real or personal. But as much as that would, we think, be assumed as authorized under the general provision, since no limit is made and loaning on bond and mortgage is always a legitimate part of the business of savings banks. . , Exchange loan State BuUd.

DEBT LIMITATION.— Ohio has very carefully guarded the debtmaking power of the State. This could not be said while the Constitution of 1802 was in force ; for under that instrument it was competent for the Legislature to construct works of internal improvement on behalf of the State, or to aid in their construction by subscribing to the capital stock of cori'orations created for that purpose, or to autliorize in other ways the creation of debt In unlimited amounts.

The same is in large measure true also of the ITS Admitted as a State (Act April Cities, MICHK JAN— State, State of Ohio. DEBT, EESOUECES, CITIES, FIRST, As to the State's power to contract debt, this is regulated under the first five sections of article 8 of the Constitution. Section 1 limits the jiower to the supply of " casual deficits in revenues or to meet expenses not otherwise provided for," but in the aggregate debts for even the purposes named cannot exceed $750,000. Section 2 contains an exception to the foregoing it grants the power to contract debt in case of invasion, of insurrection, of war or of the redemption of the then existing indebtedness. Section 3 reaflinns the limit, except as above specified. Section 4 forbids the loaning of the State credit. Section 5 further forbids the assumption of debts by States. We insert these five sections in full. SECTION 1. [Debt limited to seven hnndred aiid fifty thousand dollars]. The State may contract debts to supply casual deficits or failures in revenues or to meet expenses not otherwise provided for; but the aggregate amount of such debts direct and contingent whether contracted by virtue of one or more acts of the General Assembly, or at difl'erent periods of time, shall never exceed seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars; and the money arising from the creation of such debts shall be applied to the purpose for which it was obtained or to re-pay the debts so contracted and to no other purpose whatever. Section 2. [Additional and for what pta-pose.] In addition to the above limited power the State may contract debts to repel invasion, suppress insurrection, defend the State in war, or to redeem the present outstanding indebtedness of the State; but the money arising from the contracting of such debts shall be applied to the purpose for which it was raised, or to re-pay such debts, and to no other purpose whatever, and all debts incurred to redeem the present outstanding indebtedness of the State shall be so contracted as to be payable by the sinking fund hereinafter provided for as the same shall accumulate. Section 3. [The State to create no other debt.] Exceptthe debts above specified in Sections 1 and 2 of this article, no debt whatever shall hereafter be created by or on behalf of the State. Section 4. [Credit of State; the State shall notbecome joint otoner or stockholder.] The credit of the State shall not in any manner be given or loaned to or in aid of any individual association or corporation whatever; nor shall the State ever hereafter become ajoint owner or stockholder in any company or association in this State or elsewhere formed for any purpose whatever. Section 5. [No assumption of debts by the State.] The State shall never assume the debts of any county, city, town or township, or of any corporation whatever, unless such debt shall have been created to repel invasion, suppress insurrection or defend the State in war. The foregoing sections complete the limitation as to State debt and credit. Sections 7,8,9,10 and 11 of Article 8 cover the matter of sinking funds referred to in Section 2 above. But they need not be published ; here. SECOND, As to Cities, Torons, Counties, c£c., so far as the Constitution affects the power of the Legislature to authorize these municipalities to create debt, the limitations are found in section 6 of article (1) Section 6 of 8 and in sections 1, 2 and 6 of article 13. article 8 forbids the General Assembly to authorize cities, become stockholders in or to raise money or loan &o., to credit to aid corporations, &c. (2) Sections 1 and 2 of article 13 forbid the passing of special acts and require general acts for conferring corporate powers. (3) Section 6 of article 13 provides that the General Assembly make provision for the organiziition of cities, <fec., by general laws and restrict their debt-making power. These sections are as follows: Article 8, Section 6. [Coutities, cities, toioiis or townships not authorized to become stockholders, rf-c] The General Assembly shall never authorize any county, city, town or to%VTiship, by vote of its citizens or otherwise, to become a stockholder in any joint stock company, corjioration or association whatever or to raise money for, or loan Its credit to, or In aid of, any such company, corporation or association. Article 13, Section 1. [Corporate powers]. The General Assembly shall pass no special act conferring corporate powers. Section 2. [Corj)orations how formed]. Corporations may be formed under general laws but all such' laws may from time to time be altered or repealed. Section 6. [Organization of cities, dtc] The General Assembly shall provide for the organization of cities and incorporated villages by general laws and restrict their power of taxation, assessment, borrowing money, contracting debts and loaning their credit, so as to prevent the abuse of such power. One at first sight would infer from section 6 article 8 above cited that cities could not subscribe to the stock of or loan money to railroads, as railroads are corporations and joint-stock comjianies. That, however, is not a correct conclusion, as was decided in the case of Walker vs. The City of Cincinnati, a case which arose under an act of the General Assembly of Oliio entitled " An Act relating to cities of the first class," authorizing any such city to construct a lino of railroad therefrom to any otlior terminus in that State or In any other State. In pursuance of the authority tliat act purports to give, Cinciunatl undertook to build the Cincinnati Southern Kalli'oad. To test the lejfal; ; ^m 04flO— CITIES April, 1903. ^ty of that proceeding this action was brought.

DEBT LIMITATION.— In the present Constitution of Indiana, which went into eflfect November 1, 1351. superseding the Constitution adopted in 1816, there are explicit provisions Umiting the power of both the State and its municipalities to contract debt. FIRST, as to the State, Section 5 of article 10 provides that no debt except to meet casual deficits in revenue, to pay interest, to repel invasion &c. can be contracted. The section in full is subjoined. Creation of Debt Forbidden.—No law shall authorize any debt to be contracted on behalf of the State except in the following cases : To meet casual deficits in the revenue to pay interest on the State debt ; to repel invasion, suppress insurrection, or, if hostilities be threatened, provide for the public defense. In the sixth section of the same article the last clause prohibits the assumption by the State of the debts of any municipality or corporation. The clause referred to reads as follows. "Nor shall the General Assembly ever on behalf of the State assume the debts of any county, eity, town or township, nor of any corporation ; whatever." SECOXD, as to tnunicipalities, the provision contained In the Constitution seems to be equally clear and emphatic, and, as will be found, fixes the limit at 2 per cent of the valuation. It is article 13 of that instrument which relates to this subject, and we give the article in full below. Limited Excess Void.- No political or municipal corporation In this State shall ever become indebted in any manner or for any purpose to an amount in the aggregate exceeding two per centum on the yaluation of the taxable property within such corporation, to be ascertained by the last assessment for State and County taxes previous to the incurring of such indebtedness and all bonds or obligations in excess of such amount given by such corporation shall be void Provided, That in time of war, foreign invasion, or other great public calamity, on petition of a majority of the property owners in number and value, within the limits of such corporation, the public authorities in their discretion may incur obligations necessary for the public protection and defense to such an amount aa may be requested in such — ; ; petition. It should be said in connection with the above that several laws have been enacted since the foregoing constitutional limit was adopted (March 14 1881), and bonds have been issued by counties thereunder beyond the 2 per cent limit, for the construction of "free gravel, stone or other macadamized roads." Several such laws were passed at the 1899 session of the Legislature. But in the case of Strieb vs. Cox, Treas., Ill Ind., the Supreme Court of Indiana held that gravel road bonds are not properly indebtedness of the county—hence do not com© within the inhibition of Section 13 of the Constitution. (See editorial in State and Citv Supplement for October. 1899, page 3.) THIRD, counties {hVLt no other kind of municipality) are prohibited from subscribing for any stock in a corporation unless paid for at time of such subscription. The section which covers this subject is section 6 of article 10, and is as follows. Counties Cannot Take Stock. No county shall subscribe for stock in any incorporated company unless the same be paid for at the time of such subscription; nor shall any county loan its credit to any incorporated company, nor borrow money for the puriKise of taking stock in any such company; nor shall the General Assembly ever on behalf of the State assume the debts of any county, city, town or township, nor of any corporation whatever. The prohibition which this section contains applies, as already stated, only to counties. Consequently the Legislature was at liberty to authorize cities to subscribe to the stock of railroads, as it did by a general law passed in 1869 granting the power to subscribe to the stock of any railroad running into or through any city or near its corporate limits. Other laws of a .somewhat similar character have been passed at other dates. We notice one law, too ((Section 5377 Surns's Annotated Statutes, revision 1901), which authorizes counties bordering on the State line, or any township or city situated In such county, to subscribe for railroad stock. In that law no attempt is made to endow counties with power to issue bonds for this purpose (thus obeying the mandate of the Constitution), though by the succeeding section (Section 5378) cities are given aatbority to issue euoh bonds. 92 Bi/iit fi'Hn oiTY OOTJNTIES are apparently restricted by statute to a lower than the Constitutional limit of 2 per cent in the matter of creating certain kinds of debt. For instance. Section 7834 of Burns's Annotated Statutes, If 01, authorizes any county to issue bonds when necessary to construct, complete or repair court house, jail or other county buildings, or to fund existing debt; in those cases county commissioners may borrow for that purpose not exceeding 1 per cent on assessed valuation and issue bonds therefor, provided that no second or subsequent loan shall be made or authorized so long as any former loan made under the provisions of the Act shall remain unpaid. From Section 7920 it appears, moreover, that whenever the aagrtgate indebtedneas, funded or otherwise, of any county having a voting population of over 20,000 amounts to or exceeds one per cent, it is not lawful to increase such indebtedness in any manner or form except only by temporary loans In anticipation of the revenue ot the then current fiscal year and not exceeding two thirds of the amount of the county tax duplicate of the preceding year. Limit of one per cent may be exceeded in counties for funding purposes in "certain cases where the aggregate indebtedness in 1879 exceeded one per cent (see Burns's Kevised Statutes, 1901, Section 7918); also for temporary loans (see Burns's Revised Statutes, 1901, Section 7920). Also (if the laws that have been passed are constitutional), the limit of 2 per cent may be exceeded for the purpose of making gravel roads (see above), theSupreme Court having decided that gravel road bonds arenot properly an indebtedness of tlie county. By statute the llmlc for such bonds (Section 6910) is 4 per cent. In addition to the foregoing, general statutes have been passed by the Legislature granting general powers to cities and towns to issue bonds for legitimate corporate purposes, subject, however, to the Constitutional limit of 2 per cent on valuation. But we have not the space to set out here the details, or the details of the other legislation applicable to cities of larger and smaller population, and covering sneciflo purposes, such as water works, &c. GRAVEL ROAD BOlNDS.-The BILL LEGALIZING Legislature in 1901 passed a bill (Chapter 136) legalizing all bonds, sold or unsold, issued under an act of the Legislature, approved March 3, 1893, as amended by Acts approved March 7, 1895, and Feb. 24, 1899. All acts and orders of the Board of County Commissioners passed under these laws are by this new law legalized and made valid EXEMPTION FROM TAXATION.-TheLeglslatiire of 1903 passed a law (approved March 9) exempting from taxation all Donds, notes, etc., hereafter issued by State or municipal corporations. The section follows Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Indiai a. That all bonds, notes and other evidences of Indebtednesss hereafter Issued by the State of Indiana or by munioinal corporations within the State upon which the said State or the s^id' municipal corporations pay Interest shall be exempt from taxation.

HISTORY OF DEBT.—The historical aetails of the State debt of from 1829 to 1870, when the debt was all paid off, wiU be found in the State and Citv Supplement of April 1894, page 91. BONDED DEBT.—This State had on October 1, 1902, no bonded debt, except $18,500 bonds which have ceased to draw Interest, but have not yet been surrendered for payment. EQUALIZED VALUATION.—Tlie total equalized valuatlonhas been as follows in the years named. The tax rate (per $1,000) for 1902 Illinois was $1-00. Tears.

But with that exception and with the further exception for the purpose of repelling invasion etc. no debt can be contracted unless the law is submitted to a vote of the people at a general election, which law must contain a i>rovision for the payment of interest as it accrues, and previous notice of the election be given by publication for three months prior to such election. These last two restrictions as to interest and notice of election are only found in the 1870 Constitution. The sections which cover these matters are as follows; we omit the flist portion of Sectioti 18, of Article IV., which relates only to approoriations and payment of appropriations out of funds belonging to the State Proi-kled, the state may. to meet casual Section 18. deficits or failures in revenues, contract debts never to exceed in the agareyate $250,000, and moneys tiius borrowed shall be applied to the purpose for which they were obtained, or to pav the debt thus created, and to no other purpose: and no other debt except tor <he purpose of repelling invasion, suppressing insurrection or defending the State in war (for payment of which the faith of the State shall be pledged), shall be contracted, unless the law authorizing the same shall at a general election have been submitted to the people, and have received a majority of the votes cast for members of the General Assembly at such election The General Assembly shall provide for the publication of said law for three months at least before the vote of the penple shall he taken upon the same: and provision shall be made at the time for the payment of the interest annunlty as it shall accrue, by a tax levied for the purpose or from other sources of revenue; which law providing for the payment of such interest by such tax, shall be irrepealable until such debt be paid: Atid provided pirther, that the law levying the tax shall be submitted to the people with the law authorizing tde debt to be contracted. SECTION 20 rhe State shall never pay, assume or become responsible for the debts or liabilities of. or in an.v manner give, loan, or extend its credit to or in aid of any public or other corporation, association or of 1870.

We say developed, because this antagonism has apparently been pro.gre8sive. Nothing of it is to be found in the Constitution of 1818. The Constitution of 1848 contains no reference to municipalities, but has in it stringent restrictions limiting to $50,000 the power of the Legislature to create State debt, except in case of war. Invasion, etc., unless the law proposing tlie issue of bonds is submitted to a vote of the people. But turning to the Constitution of 1870 we find the whole subject of debt-making most thoroughly considered and its individual. $ 10,000 ) LXXVI 1900 tion. 20,613 Cannelton (C.)

Ouder a law passed Feb. 25, 1898, there will be a general assessment of real estate but once in every four years Instead of annually personal property will be listed every year. The law also provides that property shall be appraii^ed at full value but assessed'at only oneofth of such value. ; SECOND, municipol indebtedness is regulated only iT\ the Constitution Second is a --separate nectiou" forbidding anv such municipality from becoming a subscriber to the stock of any railroad, ifec or to loan its cn^dit Third is the broad and general provision Section 12, Article 9. which limits the indebtedness of all municipalities to 5 per cent '- on the value of the taxable property therein," &c. We give thess sections below: Article 8. heetion 3. Meitner the General Assembly nor any county city, town, township, school district, or other public corporation, shall ever makp any appropriation, or pav from anv public fund whatever, anything in aid of any church or sectarian purpose, or to help support or sustain any school, academy, seminary, college, university, or other literary or scientific in.stitution controlled, by any church or sectarian denomination whatever nor shall any grant or donation of land, money or other personal property ever be made by the State, or any such pubUo corporation, to any church or for any sectarian purpose. Article 9, Section 12. No county, city, township, school district op other municipal corporation shall be allowed to become indebted in any maimer or for any purpose, to an amount, including existing indebtedness, in the aggregate exceeding five per centum on the value of the taxable property therein, to be ascertained by the last assessment for State and county taxes, previous to the incurring of such indebtedness. Any county, city, school district or other municipal corporation incurrinsr any indebtedjiess as aforesaid shall before, or at the time of doing so, provide for the collection of a direct annual tax suliicient to pay the interest on such debt as it falls due, and also to pay and discharge the principal thereof within twenty years from the time of contracting the same. This section shall not be construed to prevent any county, city, township, school district, or other municipal corporation, from issuing their bonds in compliance with any vote of the people which may have been had prior to the adoption of this Constitution in pursuance of any law providing therefor. Separate Sections. [Municipal subscriptions to railroads etc.] No county, city, town, town.ship or other municipality shall ever become subscriber to the capital stock of any railroad or private corporation, or make donation to or loan its credit in aid of such corporation, provided, however, that the adoption of this article shall not be construed as attecting the right of any such municipality to make such subscriptions where the same have been authorized, under existing laws, by a vote of the people of such municipalities prior to such adoption. The foregoing limitation to 5 per cent is general, as will be seen that With this limitation preserved the Is, it applies to all municipalities. Legislature has passed general laws authorizing the city council in oities and the board of trustees in villages to issue bonds for coriiorate purposes, for refunding and consolidating debt, for water works, etc.; and the county board of any county has been authorized by general statute to issue, when it deems it necessary, county bonds, after submitting the matter to the legal voters of the county at a general election, at which a majority vote is required as a prerequisite of the issue. Recently an attempt was made to limit "any county, cit.v, township, pchool district or municipal corporation" in counties containing 125,000 or more inhabitants to 2^2 per cent of the assessed value, init Jan. 12, 1900, the State Supreme Court ruled that this was an arbitrary and unnatural classitlcation of municipalities which could not be sustained. Pee Vol. 70, page 242. The matter of the amount of bonds that might he Issued on the basis of the debt limitations given has been complicated in lafe years by change" in the method of assessing property. A letter of the State Auditor in V. 74. p. 7 tl. throws some light on these changes. Water Ceutikicates in Excess of Debt Limit.— A law was passed in 1899 allowing cities bonded to their legal limit to issue (for the improvement of water-works) certificates against the earnings of the Water Department without regard to the bonded indebtedness. Several municipalities are understood to have taken advantage of this law. In the case of the City of Jollet, however, which attemiited to issue bonds under tbis law, the matter was taken into the courts in a test suit, and an injunction granted by Judge Dibell, who held that the 5 per cent limit could not be exceeded.— V. 73, p. 94. This decision was confirmed by Supreme Court. V. 74, p. 491. Improvement Bonds.-There is a kind of improvement bond authorized in some cases which is made a special lien on the land benefited and to which the 5 per cent limit has no reference. We refer to cases which come under the law entitled " To divide cities and villages subject "to overflow into improvement districts." This statute provides that any such city or village or part thereof may be laid off into an imiirovement district for the purpose of draining, raising the grade of thestreets and iiuprovijig the district; that after the cost for the work has been ascertained and lioon assessed, the assessment may be paid in Instaliiaenta orothsrwise and such city or village may issue bonds sutHolent In that case the bonds are a lien assessment. to pay the on the lots, locks or parts thereof which shall be designated therein; but before the issue the owner of the lots, etc., to be tarian purpose. ; — J charged must endorse upon the back of such bond his consent, under seal. In snbstance as follows " I hereby indorse the within bond " and consent that the lot or lots or parts thereof therein designated " shall become lia ale for the interest and principal therein namea and "the same shall be a lien upon said property from this date until paid "oflf and discharged." The bond when executed by the city or village and so endorsed by the owner shall be recorded in the recorder's office In the county, and such record shall be a notice of the lien created to the same extent as the record of mortgages is a notice. We have room to give only this very brief and imperfect outline of this statute. The whole law will be found in the Hurd'sRevised Statutes of Illinois, the 1901 edition, pages 337 and 338. : POPULATION OF STATE.— 1900 1890 1880 1870 1860 1850 1840 4,821,550 3,826,351 3.077.871 2.539.891 1,711,951 851,470 476.183 1830 1820 1810 157,445 55,211 12,282 STATE ALEXANDER The bonds below CO.— .

Besides the issues below some new issues were in contemplation, the matter hinging on the interpretation to be given to the new assessment law. See V. 70, p. 600. The Circuit Court on Dec. 1, 1900, granted an injunction preventing the city from issuing any more bonds (V. 71, p. 1183), which ruling was C'intirmed by the Supreme Court. V. 72, p. 450. In December, 1902, the city ott-red $4,000,000 31^% bonds for sale, but did not receive any bids. These bonds were for the purpose of taking up an existing judgment debt so that the City's aggregate debt was not to be increased thereby. The bonds were atrain ottered in February. 1903, but were withdrawn before the date of pale, it being deemed best to ^ubmlt thpi question of issuing the bonds to a vote before putting them out V. 76, p. 502.

HISTORY OF DEBT.—Tlie historical details of Michigan's State debt will be found in the State and City Sdpplement of April. 1894, page 98. In 1864 the State Treasurer reported the funded debt at $3,880,399, and $1,450,472 additional " Trust fund debt." The boncied 102 AH^ ST;^T£ debt July 1, 1902. consisted of $41 6,300 war loan bonds of 1898. The sinking fund applicable to tlie retirement of tlie war bonds on July 1 1902. amounted to $473,311 99. The "Trust fund debt" on July 1. 1902. amounted to $6,497,036 49. The term "Trust Fund Debt" is, however, a misnomer. In explanation it should be said that the United States Government set aside ceitain lands in the State of Mich, ipan for educational purposes, and under the Michigan statutes the money received from the sale of these lands is used to pay the general expenses of the State; the law provides, however, that a certain specilied rate of interest must be annually figured on the total amount accumulated from said sales and be paid over to the educational institutions specitied. The amount of interest to be so paid is raised by taxation. All the Michigan war-loan bonds of 1898 given below have been called for payment May 1, 1903. Principal Interest When Dw,.

QEBj LIMITATION. Michigan, as noted in our history of the State's debt, started its career as a State in January 1837, when the whole land was buoyant over its inflated enterprises caiTied on at public expense. So to be abreast with the times, instead of putting any limit on the power of the State to create debt, it put into its Constitution a notice to the Legislature to ^o to work at once and make provision for '* ascertaining the proper objects of improvement in relation to roads, " canals and navigable waters," that the money might be raised and these improvements might be prosecuted with as little delay as possible. That was the spirit which ruled and the condition which prevailed in 1837. In 1850 Michigan made and adopted another Constitution. During the years which intervened the people had gained a wide experience and had evidently profited by it. Hence we find them at the latter date showing a purpose to make an instrument in its financial features about as dissimilar from the one it was to supplant as it could'well be. Nothing will illustrate this change in spirit and puriiose more clearly than the foUowong limitations respecting the creation of State indebtedness which were inserted. These sections are all found in article 14 of the 1850 Constitution, which Constitution is still in force. Section 3. The State may contract debts to meet deficits in revenue. Such debts shall not in the aggregate at any one time exceed fifty thousand dollars. The moneys so raised shall be applied to the purposes for which they were obtained or to the payment of the debts so contracted. ^ , ^ ^ Section 4. The State may contract debts to repel invasion, suppress the State in time of war. The money arising insurrection or defend from the contracting of such debts shall be applied to the purpose for which it was raised or to pay such debts. Section 6. The credit of the State shall not be granted to or in aid of any person, association or corporation.Section 7. No scrip, certificatQk or other evidence of State indebtedness shall be issued except for the redemption of stock previously Issued or for such debts as are expressly authorized in this Constitution. Section 8. The State shall not subscribe to, or be interested in the stock of any company, association or corporation. Section 9. The State shall not be a party to, or interested in, any work of Internal improvement, nor engage in carrying on any such work except in the expenditure of grants to the State of land or other property. The foregoing sections appear to cover every branch and phase of the subject and compared with the Constitution of 1837 what a contrast and on the 5 per cent water bonds at the National Park Bank, New York on sewer bonds in New York.

HISTORY OF DEBT. For a brief Ustoryof the Wisconsin debt see State and City Supplement ol April, 1895. At present the State has no indebtedness except the trust funds, as follows Certificates of indebtedness, School Fund $1,563,700 515,700 Do do Normal School Fund Fund 111,000 60,600 $2,251,000 DEBT LIMITATION.—The constitutional provisions of Wisconsin restricting debtrmalcing are very rigorous, plain and comprehensive. Since the amendment adopted in 1874, cities &c., as well as the State, are definitely limited by that instrument. We will give the provisions llrst wlilch relate to the State and after that those which have reference to cities, <&c. It (1) STATE indebtedness is confined within very close bounds. seems as if the framers of the Constitution must have taxed to the extreme their ingenuity for forms in which to express their determination to inhibit debt-making. The sections which cover the subject are sections 3, 4, 6, 7, 9 and 10 of Article 8. We give them in full below. Section 3. Oredit of State, for what not given. The credit of the State shall never be given or loaned in aid of any Individual, association or corporation. Section 4. Contracting debts. The State shall never contract any public debt, except in the cases and manner herein pro\'1ded. Section 6. Liinilation on public debt. For the purpose of defraying extraordinary expenditures, tlie State may contract public debts (but eucb debts sliall never in the aggregate exceed one liundred thousand dollars). Every sucli debt shall l)e iiuthorized by law, for some purpose or purposes to be distinctly specitled therein; and the vote of a majority of all tne members elected to each House, to be taken by yeas and nays, shall be necessary to the passage of such law and every such law shall provide for levying an annual tax snfticlent to pay the annual interest of such debt, and the principal within five years from the passage of such law, and shall specially appropriate the proceeds of such taxes to the payment of such principal and Interest; and such ai)proprlatlon shall not be repealed, nor the taxes be postponed, or diminished, until the principal and interest of such debt shall have been wholly paid. ; to 142 Pages 143 to 143 &c Pages 143 to 144 Pages 144 to 145 &c Page 145 9. Evidences of debt. No scrip, certificate, or other evidence of State debt, whatsoever, shall be issued, except for such debts as are authorized by the sixth and seventh sections of this article. Section 10. Internal improvements avails of grants. The State shall never contract any debt for works of internal improvement, or be a party in carrying on such works, but whenever grants of land or other property shall have been made to the State, especially dedicated by the grant to particular works of internal improvement, the State may carry on such particular works, and shall devote thereto the avails of such grants, and may pledge or appropriate the revenues derived from such works in aid of their completion. — ....

CITIES, counties, towns, villages, dec, were unrestricted except by enactment until 1874. Since that amendment was adopted five per cent on the value of the taxable property has been the extreme amount of debt permissible for any municipality. Not only is that the case, but, as vrtll be seen, the municipality is required before or at the time when it incurs any indebtedness, to make provision for an annual tax sufficient to pay the interest and also suificient to pay the principal within twenty years from the time of contracting the debt. We give below the amendment referred to in full. Limitation of Municipal Indebtedness — Adding to Section 3, Article 11, the words: No county, city, town, village, school district, or other municipal corporation, shall be allowed to become indebted in any manner or for any purpose, to any amount, including existing indebtedness in the aggregate exceeding five per centum on the value of the taxable property therein, to be ascertained by the last assessment for State and county taxes previous to the incurring of such indebtedness. Any county, city, town, village, school district, or other municipal corporation incurring any Indebtedness, as aforesaid, shall before or at the time of doing so provide for the collection of a dii'ect annual tax sutBclent to pay the interest on such debt as it falls due, and also to pay and discharge the principal thereof within twenty years from the time of contracting the same. On April 20, 1893, a new law passed by the Legislature of Wisconsin was approved by the Governor which gives general authority for the issuance of bonds to cities operating under special charters granted by the State, and containing a population of three thousand or more in(2) legislative habitants, as follows. This authority is of course subject to the foregoing provisions of the Constitution. For the erection and construction of a city hall and the purchase of a • site for the same. For the construction and extension of water works or the purchase of the same, and for constructing sewers, and for the improvement and maintenance of the same. For the erection, construction and completion of school buildings and the purchase of school sites. For the purchase of sites for engine houses, for fire engines and other equipments of the flre department, and for tne construction of engine bouses. For the purchase of sites for police stations and for the oonstruotlOD of buildings thereon for the use of the police department. For the construction of viaducts, bridges, and for repairs of the same. For the erection and construction of library and museum buildings and the purchase of sites for the same. For the establishment ol! public baths and hospitals and the purchase of sites for the same. For the purchase of lands for public parks and improvements thereof and for the payment of purchase money and Interest thereon which may be or become due for park lands already acquired or contracted for. i For permanently Improving streets in such city, and for creating a fund out of wlilch to advance the cost of repairs to sidewalks in anticipation of the collection of special assessments for such cost of repairs by the Treasurer of such city. For the construction or purchase of electric or gas light plants for lighting streets and public buildings. For refunding existing indebtedness. The law further provides that bonds issued under this act shall bear interest, payable annually or semi-annually, at a rate not exceeding 6 per cent per annum that the Common Council shall annually levy a tax upon all the taxable property sufficient to pay the annual Interest thereon, and to provide a sinMng fund each year equal to 5 per cent on the principal of said bonds that no bonds shall be issued BO that the amount thereof, together with all the other indebtedness of the city, shall exceed 5 per cent of the assessed valuation of the city and also that the bonds skall show on their face the amount of indebtedness of the city issuing the same, the annual amount of the assessment of the taxable property therein for the live years next preceding the Issue, and the average amount thereof, and they shall not be sold for less than their par value and accrued Interest. No system could be devised better adapted for keeping municipal debt at a minimum than the foregoing amendment establishes. ; ; ASSESSED VALUATION.—The total assessed valuation of the by the State Board of Assessors, and the tax rate for State purposes, have been as follows for the years named below Total Stale Tax Taxes Personal Valuation.

DEBT L M TAT ION.— Minnesota has protected the State from extravagant expenditures through restrictions which its Constitution put* on every kind of debt making. That instrument fixes the Umit at $250,000 "for the purpose of defraying extraordinary expenditures;" and ait amendment, ratified in 1879, extended this power to $250,000 additional " for erecting and completing buildings for the insane, a deaf dumb and blind asylum, and State prison." Besides the foregoing, it is also provided that the State credit shall not be loaned, «S:c. With regard to the debt of municipalities there is but one section in the Constitution which relates to that subject, and that has reference to making railroad debt. FIRST, as to State indebtedness, the sections which treat of the BubJeot are in article 9, sections 5. 6, 7. 8 and 14. Section 5. (Public debt may be contracted.) For the purpose of defraying extraordinary expenditures, the State may contract public debts, but such debts sliall never, in the aggregate, exceed two hundred and fifty tliousaud dollars; every such debt shall be authorized by law for some single object, to be distinctly specified therein; and no such I sin (besides a Counties $12,569,745 5.470.144 3,742,764 10.075,425 42.021.041 10,232,555 l,80t,984 10,721,923 11,693,395 2,168,938 17.992,916 14,009,405 State of Minnesota.

Most of the special street and sewer bonds, issued at 6%, have been extended or exchanged for 58 due in 1908.

The State shall never contract any delits for works of internal improvement, or be a party in carrying on such works, except in cases where grants of land or other property shall have been made to the State, especially dedicated by the grant to speciflo purposes; and in such cases the State shall devote thereto the avails of such grants, and may pledge or appropriate the revenues derived from such works in aid of their completion. Section 6.— (Public debt how contracted.) All debts authorized by the preceding section shall be contracted by loan on State bonds of amounts not less than Ave hundred dollars each, on interest, payable within ten years .after the final passage of the law authorizing such debt; and such bonds shall not be sold by the State under par. A correct registry of all such bonds shaU be kept'by the Treasurer in numerical order, so as always to exhibit the number aud amount unpaid and to whom severally made payable. Sectiox 7.—The State shall never contract any public debt, unless in time of war, to repel invasion or suppress insurrection, except in the cases and in the manner provided in the tifth and sixth sections of this article. Section 8. (Appropriation of money received from loan or State bonds.) The money arising from any loan made, or debt or liability contracted, shall be applied to the object specified in the act authorizing such debt or liability, or to the repayment of such debt or liability, and to no other purpose whatever. Section 14. (Stale debt forpitblic buildings). For the purpose of erecting and completing buildings for a hospital for the insane, a deaf, dumb and blinrt asylum, aud State prison, the Legislature may by law increase the pubUo debt of the State to an amount not exceeding two hundred aud fifty thousand dollars, in addition to the public debt already heretofore autliorized by the Constitution, and for that purpose may provide by law for issuing and negotiating the bonds of the State and appropriate the money only for the purpose aforesaid; which bonds shall be payable in not less than ten nor more than thirty years from the date of the same, at the option of the State. SECOy^D, as to cilj/, county or other inunicipality the only restriction on the debt-making power in the Constitution is the following, found in article 9, section 15. Section 14:.— ( Municipal debts in aid of railroads.) The Legislature shall not authorize any county, towuship, city or other municipal corporation to issue bonds or to become indebted in any manner to aid in the construction or equipment of any or all railroads to an amount that shall exceed five per ceutum of the value of the taxable property within such county, township, city, or other municipal corporation; the amount of such taxable property to be ascertained and determined by the last assessment of said property made for the purpose of State and county taxation previous to the incurring of such indebtedness. The foregoing was adopted as an amendment in 1879. Before its adoption the section read so as to authorize municipal corporations to issue bonds in aid of raUroads to ten per cent of valuation. Hence the amendment consisted in simply changing the word ten and making it five. This is all the Constitution contains with reference to the debts of municipalities. The Legislature, however, has made some general provisions governing bond issues, which will be found in the State and City Supplement for October, 1899, and in previous numbers of that publication. Constitutional Amendments,— Four amendments to the State constitution were adopted at the November, 1902 eleotiou. Two of these relate to taxation, a third to pohool fund loans and the fourth to a State road and bridge fund. One of the tax amendments increases the amount of taxes to be collected by the State upon railroad property from 3% to 4,% upon the gross earnini^s of lines operated in the State; the other tax measure provides for a tax on real estate mortgages, franchises, incomes of corporations and individuals, etc. POPULATION OFSTATE.1900 1890 1,751,394 1,301,826 1 1 1880 1870 Cities, 780,773 439.706 I I 172,023 6,077 situated in Is Sinking fund Net debt Mar. 1,1903 the County. $403,224 Assess't about 40% actual value.

DEBT LIMITATION.— Iowa's Constitution debt, both State debt and municipal debt. FIRST, as to Slate debt, the limitation restricts the creating of made la not absolute, for It permits other debt if authorized by some law for some single specified work. But this permission is very safely guarded— (1) the law must provide for the collection of a direct annual tax sutHclent to pay the Interest regularly and discharge the debt in twenty years; and (2) the law cannot take effect until it has been submitted to the people at a general election, and has received a majority of the votes oast. AU the debt provisions relating to the State we give below. Article 7, Section 1. [Limitation of State indebtedness.] The credit of the State shall not in any manner be given or lo.iued to, or in aid of, any individual, association, or corporation; and the State shall never assume, or become responsible for, the debts or liabilities of any individual, associatio!! or corporation, unless incurred in time of war for the benotlt of the State. Section 2. [Same.] The State may contract debts to supply casual deficits or failures in revenues, or to meet expenses otherwise provided for; but the aggrogato amount of sucli debts, direct and coutlngeut, whether contracted by virtue of one or more acts of the General Assembly or at diflTereut periods of time, shall never exceed the sum of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars; and the money arising from the creation of such debts shall be applied to tlie purpose for which It was obtained, or to repay the debts so contracted, ana to no other purpose whatever. Section 4. [For what other purposes State mau contract debt.] In addition to the above limited power to contract oobts. the State may contract debts to repel invasion, suppress insurrection, or defend the state in war; but the money arising from the debta so contracted shall ai>plled for the purpose for which it was raised, or to repay such debts, and to no other purpose whatever. Section 5. [Other debts to be authorized.]—Except the debts hereinbefore specified in this article, no debt shall be hereafter contracted by or on behalf of this State, unless such debt shall be authorized by some law for some single work or object, to be distinctly specified therein and such law shall impose and provide for the collection of a direct annual tax sufficient to pay the interest on such debt as it falls due, and also to pay and discharge the principal of such debt within twenty years from the time of coutracting thereof; but no such law shall take eff"6ct until at a general election it shall have been submitted to the people, and have received a majority of all the votes cast for and against it at such election and all money raised by authority of such law shall be applied only to the specific object therein stated, or to the payment of the debt created thereby and such law shall be published in at least one newspaper in each county, if one is published therein, throughout the State, for three months preceding the election at which it is submitted to the people. Article VIII, Section 3. [State not to be a stockholder.]—The State shall not become a stockholder in any corporation, nor shall it assume or pay the debt or liability of any corporation, unless incurred in time of war for the benefit of the State. There oau be but little fear that a State or city will ever create debt In any larger amount than it can easily pay where the law, as in the above case, requires a tax to be levied at the time of its creation sutflcient to pay the interest annually and the principal when due. SECOND, as to municipal indebtedness, the limit is fixed absolutely in the Constitution. The provisions covering the subject are as follows; Article VIII, Section 4. [Corporation not to be a stockholder.] No political or municipal corporation shall become a stockholder in any banking coriioration, directly or indirectly. Article XI, Section 3. [To what amount county may become indebted. No county or other political or municipal corporation shall be allowed any manner, or for any purpose, to an amount in to become indebted the aggregate exceeding five per centum on the value of the taxable property within such county or corporation ^to be ascertained by the fast State and county tax list previous to the incurring of such indebtedness. [The Legislature, however, has fixed a lower limit, as stated below.] The above (section 3 of article XI) covers cities, counties, towns and every other kind of political or municipal corporation. The Supreme Court of Iowa has decided that even a school district is such a corporation and subject to same Umit. The Legislature of 1900 passed a bUl (approved April 6, 1900,) fixing the limit of indebtedness of counties or other political or municipal corporations at only 114 per cent of the actual value of property in cities or towns as returned by the last tax This change was made because, under a revision of the list. Revenue Law \?hich went into effect in 1898, property is now appraised for taxation on a much higher basis than formerly. We present this biU in full. Section l.—That Section thirteen hundred and six (1306) of the Code be and Is hereby repealed, and the following enacted in licU thereof. Sec. 2.—" No county or other political or municipal corporation, including cities acting under special charters, shall be allowed to become indebted, in any manner or for any purpose, to an amount in the aggregate exceeding one and one-fourth per centum on the actual value of the property within such county or corporation, to be ascertained by the last State and county tax list previous to the inoarring of such indebtedness." Sec. 3.— This Act being deemed of Immediate importance shall be in force from and after its publication in the Des Moines " Register" and the Des Moines " Leader," newspapers published in Des Moines, Iowa. be ; ; ; m — POPULATION OF STATE.- 1900 1890 1880 1870 1860 2,231,853 1,911,896 1,624,615 1,194,020 6'74.913 1850 1840 192,214 43,112 Counties and Towns IN THE BLACK H A^VK CO.—J County J. the fol- Eainbow, Co.AucJ Total valuation,1901.- 8,958,533 Assess't about 14 appraised value.

This limit, however, has two exceptions. First, the next section provides that it may be exceeded if the proposed law for creating such debt shall be submitted to a vote of the electors, and if the proposed law be ratified by a majority of the votes cast. Second, Che section following provides that the State may borrow money to repel Invasion, &c. We give these sections in full and also the subsequent one which forbids the State being a party to internal improvements. Debts, annual fax; proceeds. For the purpose of defraying extraordinary expenses and making public improvements, the State may contract public debts; but such debts shall never, in the aggregate, exceed one million dollars, e.xcei)t as hereinafter provided. Every such debt shall be authorized by law for some purpose specified therein, and the vote of a majority of all the members elected to each House, to be taken by the yeas and nays, shall be necessary to the passage of such law; and every Buch law shall provide for levying an annual tax sufHcient to pay the anuual interest of such debt and the principal thereof when it shall become due; and shall specifically appropriate the proceeds of such taxes to the payment of such principal and interest; and such appropriation shall not be repealed nor the taxes postponed or diminished until the interest and principal of such debt shall have been wholly paid. Other debts. No debt shall be contracted by the State except as herein provided, unless the proposed law for creating such debt shall first be eulnnltted to a direct vote of the electors of the State at some general election; and if such proposed law shall be ratified by a majority of all the votes oast at such general election, then it shall be the duty of the Legislature next after such election to enact such law and create such debt, subject to aU the provisions and restrictions provided in the preceding section of this article. iSorrow money. The State may borrow money to repel invasion, suppress insurrection or defend the State in time of war; but the money thus raised shall be applied exclusively to the object for which the loan was authorized, or to the repayment of the debt thereby created. Internal improvements. The State shall never be a party in carrying Ml any works of internal improvement. MUNICIPAL indebtedness is not restricted by the Constitution at aU. The only provision for the regulation of such matters contained in that Instrument is the following, requiring the Legislature to make general laws and restricting the power to make debt in the case of cities, towns and villages. Oities. Provision shall be cities, towns and villages; made by general law for the organization of THE IN STATE OF KANSAS. Topeka INCIDENTS IN STATE ORGANIZATION, ETC.-See State and City Supplement of April, 1893, page 124, for the facts and statementB heretofore given under this head. HISTORY OF DEBT.—When Kansas was admitted into the Union as a State (in 1861) it had a bonded debt of $150,000. The Constitution of 1859 limited the debt-making power to one million dollars (witli certain restrictions and exceptions), as more fully described below. In 1866 the bonded debt was $630,775, of which the State owned $28,650. In 1878 the total bonded debt was $1,181,975, of which the State owned $713,600. The bonded debt July 1. 1902, was $632,000, all held by State funds. The Permanent School Fand on July 1, 1902^ aggregated $6,814,351 52. — Counties and Towns diTiES, 82,080 J. Bailey R.

The city has been in litigation orer its 5 per cent refunding bonds (issued April 16, 1894), which it refused to pay, they having been purloined, but on Sept. 28, 1898, the United States Circuit Court held the entire issue of $360,000 bonds Invalid as between the city of Santa Cruz and purchasers of the bonds having notice of the facts consliiiiting their invalidity, but dtXso\iQ\A that the city was estopped by recitals contained in the bonds, from denying their validity in the case of innocent purchasers for value. Upon this ground the court rendered judgment against the city for the amount of principal and interest due upon such bonds as were purchased upon the faith of recitals contained therein and without notice or knowledge of their invalidity. The municipality received no consideration whatever for these bonds. The United States Circuit Court of Appeals, however, on Deo. 5, 1899, declared that the entire issue was void, on the ground that there was a flaw in the bonds themselves which the purchasers should have investigated before buying. V. 69. p. 1260. The U. S. Supreme Court on Feb. 24, 1902, reversed the latter deci.^ion and the case was sent back with instructions (V. 74, p. 590), and the U. S. * Ircuit Court of Appeals in Sept., 1902, thereupon gave V. 75. p. 694. A compromise was effected in Its decision accordingly. March, 1903, the details of which will be found in V. 76, p. 770. The city was in litigation also over $225,000 5 per cent water bonds issued Jan. 16. 1889. but in this case, having received value for the bonds, has been disposed to pay maturing principal and interest, notwithstanding The suits brought by tax-payers to resist their supposed invalidity. the payment of interest have been dismissed by the Court, and the bonds find coupons are being paid as they fall due. 394,385 Sewer 58.. $6,000 Street 5s $4,000 Tax valuation, pers'l Light 58.. 1,000 Water 58 90,000 Total valuation 1902. .$3,179,705 Total taxrate (per M.)1902.$21-50 Bridge 5» 1,000 Rec'gnizedd'tFeb 1, '03. $102,000 Population in 1890 was 5,596 2,7h5,320 Population in IPOO was Tax valuation, real 5,659 TAX FREE.— Bonds of this city are exempt from taxation. is Totaldebt Jan.

The provisions of the Constitution with reference to creating debt are so comprehensive and plain that It is necessary to do no more than copy the sections relating to the subject. FIRST, there are three sections: the first limits the debt, the second names exceptions to the limit and the third provides the method in which additional debt may be created. These sections are all found in article 8, and were given in the State and Crrv Supplement of April, 1895; page 152. SECOND, Counties, Cities, Towns cfc. are more rigorously guarded. The whole system as to municipalities is found in section 6 of article 8, though section 7 is also important, as it forbids counties, cities Ac. giving money or loaning credit to any corporation &c. Sections 6 and 7 will be found on page 152 of the April, 1895, Supplement. xoith reference to the State, POPULATION OF STATE.1900 1890 518.103 349,390 Cities, I | 1880 1870 75,116 23.955 I 1860 11,594 CLARKE County seat is LOANS— Kasch, Treasurer. in Skagit Ihie.

By the Act of January 25,1898, however, another opportunity to fund the bonds was given. By this Act bondholders had until July 1, 1898, to come in and accept the terms, and power was given the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund to extend the time until Dec. 31, 1898. By Act of Feb. 3, 1900, the time was again extended, this time to July 1, 1900, with authority to still further extend it to Jan. 1, 1901. And on Feb. 16, 1901, the Legislature in extra session again extended the time until June 30,1901. The time was once more extended until Jan. 1, 1903, by the Legislature on Apr. 2, 1902, authority being granted to still further extend the date until Jan. 1, 1904, and the date has been so extended by the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund. Bonds funded under any amend" dment or extension to the Act of Feb. 20, 1892, carry interest from the semi-annual period next preceding the date of ftmding. Under the old law coupon bonds once converted into registered certificates were not reconvertlble into coupon bonds, but under the Acts of 1882 and 1892 coupon and registered bonds are interchangeable. VIRGINIA CERTIFICATES.-In the settlement of 1871 it was assumed that West Virginia should provide for one-third the principal and Interest of the then existing debt, that Is $15,239,370 out of the total debt of $45,718,112. To represent, therefore, West Virginia's share of bonds funded "deferred certificates" were issued. All efforts, however, to induce West Virginia to take recognition of these certificates have thus far been unavailing. In 1885 the holders of about $8,000,000 certificates united for the purpose of obtaining a compromise, and deposited their holdings with the Farmers' Loan & Trust Company, which gave its trust receipts therefor. This attempt came to nothing, and in 1890 Messrs. C. Satterthwaite & Sons, of No. 30 Throgmorton Street, London, E. C, started another movement to bring about a settlement. An adjustment company, with the Mercantile Trust & Deposit Company of Baltimore at its head, was formed late in 1893 for the purpose of making an attempt at the settlement of the West Virginia certificates See Chronicle, Vol. 57, page 819; Vol. 58, pages 51, 314 and 444. In August, 1898, another movement was started, this time under the leadership of Messrs. Brown Bros. & Co., with the same oV)ject in view, and that movement continues actively in progress. The plan provided for ascertaining the exact amount of the old Virginia debt with which West Virginia is justly chargeable (subject to certain limitations), and then compromising that amount at the same percentage at which Virginia compromised the two-thirds of the original Virginia debt, namely 60 per cent for principal and 30^4 per cent for Interest. (See the edi- WEST torial article in State and City Scpplement for April, 1899.) The Legislature of Virginia in March, 1900, passed a bill authorizing the State Debt Commission to take such action and institute such proceedings as may be deemed proper to protect the State'.s interests and to bring about a settlement with West Virginia. (V. 70, p. 494.) The original plan has been somewhat amended to meet present requirements; see digest in V. 76, p. 770; wherein will also be found the names of the members of the Advisory Board. Application was made June 3, 1900, and granted by the Governing Com- 156 BT/ilt mittee June 13, IPOO, to Brown list fkW CITY SUf fiEM^WT. Bros. &Co.'8 Virginia deferred certificates (repreecntin^r the originals of the 1871 issue only* on the York Stock Exchange. 1 he amount listed on Ajiril 4, 1903, was f 8,71 6,565, with power to add thereto from time to time as additional On Apr. 1, certificates may be issued under the plan of settlement 1903, the amount deposittd was practically three-fourths of the total of all Issuts outstanding in the hands of the public. It should be remembered, furthermore, that in adjusting the original debt of the State of Virginia it was calculated that about 10 p.c. of the certificates had been either lo?t or destroyed, and could therefore be elitninated as an actival factor In the adjustment. If similar allowance be made In thp present case, it will correspondingly reduce ihe possible total and will Increase the percentage of deposits already in hand to over 82 per cent. After about three- fourths of the old Virginia bonds had been surrendered, and "deferred certificates" been given to represent West Virginia's one third, under the acts of 1871 and 1879, these acts were New repealed. The remaining bonds were refunded under other laws. These laws required a certificate to represent one-third the principal of the old bonds brought in for funding, but gave "non-interest-bearing The folcertificates" to represent one-third the i/i<cj'es< on old bonds. lowing shows the amounts of each issue.

STATE DEBT.—The old debt, excepting suclias Is not recognized, has mostly been funded under the funding laws of 1879, the time prescribed for the exchange having been extended to January 1, 1905. These laws provided for the issue of (1) consolidated 4 p. o. bonds due In 1910 to fund old ante-war bonds at 40 per cent of face value, "New" railroad bonds recognized as valid at 25 per cent, and bonds of 1866 and 1868 at 15 per cent, nothing being given for overdue coupons and <2) for new consolidated 6 per cent bonds due in 1919, for which the North Carolina RR. construction bonds were made exchangeable at par, holders of construction bonds abating $240 of overdue interest on each $1,000 bond. The new bonds, both 4s and 6s, carry tax-receivable coupons, and are exempt from "all State, county or corporate taxation or assessment, direct or indirect, general or special." An amendment to the State Constitution passed by the Legislature In 1879 and ratified by popular vote in 1880, forbids the General Assembly to pav or recognize as valid the following bonds Special tax bonds $11,366,000; bonds to Chatham RR., 1868, $1,030,000, and to Willlamston & Tarboro RR., $150,000; Penitentiary bonds of 1868 $44,000. The special tax bonds were in 3 classes, class 1 bearing the coupon of April 1869 and since; class 2 bearing the coupon of Oct. 1869 class 3 bearing the coupon of April, 1870 Holders of the special tax bonds brought suit to establish the validity of their bonds and the case was decided in favor of the State.

Outetanding warrants, 919,019. 171 -DEBT Of STilTE. April, 1903. 5 5 July July 1, 1, 1, 1, DEBT AND TAX LIMITATIONS.-A revised Constitution was adopted at the election held Nov. 11, 1901, and became effective Nov. 28, 1901. The new instrument makes radical changes in relation to debt and taxation, an outline of which was furnished in an editorial In our State and Citt Supplement of October, 1901. We have only room to indicate a few of its features. State Debt.— Under Section 213 (Article XI) the State is prohibited from creating any new debt, except to repel invasion or suppress in- surrection. This prohibition, however, does not apply in the case of bonds to refund old issues or temporary loans to meet deflciences, the latter, though, being limited to $300,000. Section 214 limits taxation tor State purposes to slxty-flve one hundredths of one per cent. The sections relating to taxation of counties and municipalities are also given in Article XI., being numbered 215, 216 and 219. Theyare very lengthy and will be found In lull In the editorial above referred to. Limit of Indebtedness.- The debt incurring power of counties and municipalities in the new Constitution are contained in Sections 222 to 226 inclusive, forming part of Article XII. Bond Issues to be Voted.— Under Section 222 all bonds proposed to be issued under general laws must first be authorized by a mar jorlty vote of the qualified voters of the county, city, town, village or other political snb-division desiring to issue such securities. There are exceptions to this, however. See the section In full in the above-mentioned editorial. Counties are limited by Section 224 to 3^2 per cent of the assessed valuation of property. This limitation does not aflect any debt existing at the time of the adoption of the constitution in excess of 313 per cent, either created or authorized by existing laws to be created. Such counties already Indebted in excess of 3^2 per cent are permitted to incur an additional debt of 1^ per cent of the assessed valuation. Counties are allowed to fund or relund any existing indebtedness. Cities, Towns, etc., having a population of less than 6,000 are limited to 5 per cent of the assdpsed value of property, with an additional 3 per cent for water works, gas or electric light plants or sewerage. This limitation does not affect any debt now authorized by law to be created or any temporary loans to be paid within one year, made in anticipation of the collection of taxes, not exceeding one-fourth of the annual revenues of such city or town. CiTiKS AND Towns of 6,000 or over inhabitants, also GADSDEN. ENSLEY, and DECATUR, are limited in their debt^ making powers to 7 per cent of the assessed valuation. The followingdescribed classes of indebtedness are not to be considered in flgurlng the debt limit: temporary loans, to be paid within one year, made in anticipation of the coUeetlon of taxes, and not exceeding onefourth of the general revenues; bonds or other obligations already issued, or which may hereafter be issued for the purpose of acquiring, NEW DECATUR providing or constructing school houses, water- works and sewers; and obligations incurred and bonds issued for street or sidewalk improvements, where the cost of the same, in whole or in part, is to be assessed against the property abut'ing said improvements; provided, that the proceeds of all obligations Issued as herein provided, in excess of said 7 per cent, shall not be used for any purpose other than that for which said obligations were issued. Nothing contained in this Article is to prevent the funding or refunding of exlstinsr indebtedness. Nor la the Section to apply to the cities of SHEFFIELD and TUSCUMBIA. Section 226 provides that no city, town or village whose present indebtedness exceeds the limitation unposed by tnis Constitution shall be allowed to become indebted in any further amount, except as otherwise provided In this Constitution, until such Indebtedness shall be reduced within such limit; provided, however, that nothing herein contained thaU prevent any municipality except the city of GADSDEN from issuing bonds already authorized by law; provided, further, this Section shall not apply to the cities of SHEFFIELD and TUSCUMBIA.

On Aug. 13, 1895, the old bondholders by arrangement with the city agreed for a term of Ave years to defer their claim for one-half of the interest coupons. The whole amount withheld, however, together with 5 per cent interest thereon, was paid on Aug. 13, 1900, and the original contract with the bondholders thus fully complied with.

An Admitted as a State (Act of June 15, 1836) amendment to the Louisiana Constitution authorizing the city to refund its debt at a lower tate of interest was adopted in 1892, and the city has issued 4 per cent 50-year bonds to the amouut of $10,000,000, thus enabling it to pay all its maturing loaus and all those upon which it had option. The amendment provides that the interest ta.\: collected in excess of requirements shall be divided between city schools and city improvements. The new Louisiana Constitution, in effect May 12, 1898, contlrmed these arrangements. On June 6, 1899, the city voted a special tax of 2 mills for water, eewer and drainage purposes, intended to provide for an issue of from 12 to 16 miUious bonds. As this required an amendment to the State Constitution, the Legislature, in special session, passed a bill for its submission to a vote of the people of the State. At this election the amendment was approved and the bonds were awarded in Dec, 1900. These bonds, however, will not be issued in one lump sum, but will be put out as the improvement progresses. Up to July 1, 1902. $2,400,000 had been issued. In March, 1903, the validity of this Act •was tested in tlie Civil District Court and affirmed; V. 76, p 770.

HISTORY OF DEBT.— For history of the Arkansas State debt see State and City Supplement of April, 1894, page 173. By Act of Congress approved AprU29, 1898. a compronuse was effected between the United States and the State. In accordance with the terms of this settlement the United States authorities on May 27, 1H98, delivered to the State Arkansas bonds and coupons amounting to $1,505,160, and carrying besides a large sum of overdue interest. This operation wijied out the entire debt of the United States against the State except $160,000, which has since been paid. REFUNDING —Under the Legislative Act of 1899 the entire debt has been refunded by an issue of 3 per cent 30-year bonds, denominations $500 and $1,000, except $15,000 in bonds of 1869 and 1870, and the estimated interest thereon, amounting to $24,300, which have not been presented for refunding. All valid 6 per cent funding bonds were called for payment Deo. 1, 1901, those not presented up to that time being now null and void. The total amount of bonds outstanding Oct. 1, 1902, was $1,256,000, of which $1,113,500 are held by the State's School Fund; $102,50.) by the permanent endowment fund of the University of Arkansas and $35,000 by individual parties.

At present before any bond can be issued by a municipality or county it must receive the certificate ot the Attorney- General that it It must then be registered in the office of the is a lawful obligation. State Comptroller, and when the bond is so issued its validity cannot except on the grounds of fraud or forgery. The text of be questioned the law will be found in the State and City Supplement of AprU, 1895, page 178. Where the fact is known to us we have marked with a star (*) in the returns below the issues put out prior to the enactment of tke above law. A law went Into eflFect Aug. 26, 1899, compelling counties and incorporated towns and cities to submit propositions for the issuance of bonds [all except " funding bonds issued or to be issued of any valid outstanding bonds of said county, town or city;" also excepting bond Issues for less than $2,000, when " issued for the purpose of repairing buildings or structures, for the building of which bonds are allowed t« be issued,"] to a vote of the qualified taxpayers before the issue can be submitted to the Attorney- General for approval as required by the law of 1893—V. 69, p. 509.

In December, 1900, an appeal was made to holders of the bonds to consent to refunding Ihedebt into new 48 and a resolution to aid in the process was passed by the Oitv Council. See Chronicle V. 72, p. 100. The Logislature of 1901 authorized $1,883,000 4 p. c. 40-yoar bonds to take up the old issues, and tip to March 6, 1903, $120,000 had been so refunded. Ou Marcli 14, 1903, however, an arrangement was made whereby all past-duo Interest was to be paid In full. V. 76, p. 667. Fio.&R'^v. Bonds— Funding Bonus— 5s, 5s, 1915 M&N, $200,000 A&O, 200,000....

The adjustment of its bonded debt growing out of default occasioned by the hurricane of Sept. 8, 1900, has progressed satisfactorily, and has been accepted by a large numbe : of bondholders. On the bonds whioli have come Into the compromise interest is being paid promptly. The compromise provides for interest to be paid at the rate of 2 -9 per cent per annum for live years, which was formally recommended to the bondholders by a committee of thfiir number, of which the Hon. Chas. S. Fairchild was Chairman. Both the city and county are working Iq concert to devis-1 the absolute protection to the city and port, and a sea wall costing a million and a half is being constructed by the county, bonds havintr been issued and practically all taken locally or by local interests. Tne work is now In progress and should be completed within twelve to eighteen months. The city then contemplates raising the site by filling In streets and private property in an issue of bonds to be specially c ecured by donation from the State of Texas, which has already been made, covering a period of fifteen years. In M^rch, 1903, a decision was rendered declaring void that portion of the city charter providing for 5 commissioners, three of which appointed by the Governor; V. 76, p. 770.
