The United States Supreme Court decision rendered
this week holding the Income Tax invalid so far as it
relates to the bonds of States, cities, counties and other
civil divisions of the State will tend to direct increased
attention to these securities. Even during the past
year investors have manifested greater interest in
municipal securities than ever before. We do
not need to say that it has been an unfortunate time
for the marketing of almost all corporate issues, for no
fact is better known. Contrast this general situation
with the condition in the same particulars of the single
department of city bonds ; the latter have not suffered
to any where near the same extent, but on the contrary
have met an eager and active demand, although sub
ject to certain special trials referred to in a
subsequent article.
Such a difference existing
at such a time indicates that a leading reason for the
discrimination shown must have been that the pay
ment of interest on the bond was in no wise dependent
upon business activity, but upon taxation. While our
industries have been depressed it is natural that capital
should seek a form of investment which stood as nearly
as could be outside of that influence. In this search
“ municipals ” have profited ; but the demand for
them would not have increased had it not been for the
further truth that there is no better security than a city
bond. The swing was from risky ventures to the most
conservative. It happened that not a few Eastern sav
ings banks as well as many individuals since the exist
ing business depression began have experienced a severe
lesson in the risks attendant upon traveling that wellworn road whioh connects large interest with small
security,
A P R IL
13, 1895.
There is no excuse for that kind of financing n ow a
days, with facts placed within easy reach of every one.
When a scheme is presented with no facts accessible
except the tale of the promoter and a few “ b ig”
names for directors, it seems as if every one ought to
recognize the characteristic features of a “ good thing”
to avoid—especially for those who are handling other
people's money. And yet the class is numerous that
has taken mortgages on portions of “ the Rockies'
promising 10 per cent or more, and left their principal
as well as their interest there, when they might have
saved both had they been satisfied with 4 per cent or
a little more near home. We would not recall this in
cident were it not that similar temptations were cer
tain to be presented again shortly, when business be
comes a little more active than now, and it is not al
ways the case that those who have the handling of
money gain caution, and consequently a maturer judg
ment even from the severest experiences. No one can
afford to be without facts or to touch a security which
does not admit of investigation ; but neither facts nor
investigation permit one to dispense with the teachings
of the ages that have passed into proverbs.
We have already said that there has been no year when
the demand for municipal securities equaled that of the
past year. The total sales in 1894 must have reached
about $130,000,000. Of these we reported in our State
and City Department of the C h r o n i c l e $117,167,225
in the monthly review of sales, against $77,421,273
in 1893 and $83,823,515 in 1892. Of course these
issues do not in every case represent new and additional
debt ; many of them were refunding issues intended
for the redemption of bonds already out, the new
securities being generally placed at a lower rate of
interest. All, however, called for new money, the
outstanding issues being in no case extended or the
new substituted for the old ; but the new bonds were
sold and paid for and the old ones redeemed as pre
sented. No doubt there were many transactions not
included in our sales of the other character, that is
substitutions, the old issue being replaced by the new ;
but in Buch cases the amount of the issue could not
have been large or widely distributed. There were, no
doubt, also privato negotiations ; theso likowise must
in most cases have been small or they could not have
escaped our observation at some stage of the transac
tion, Altogether there may possibly have been say

STATE ATIB CITY S U f f l E M E N T ,
there can be no doubt that to many of our people the
revelation has come a good deal in the nature of a sur
prise. We have been extremely fortunate in the United
States in the past; we have had prolonged and unexam
pled prosperity. Up to the time of the 1893 panic
so great had been our progress and development that
to superficial observers it seemed as if our strength
as a new country secured exemption from the con
sequences of the disregard of natural laws, where
the violation of the same by the older countries meant
certain ruin and disaster. We have learnt our mistake
now, although at a great cost.
But this phase of the matter, though very interesting
and instructive, shall not engage our attention to-day.
Our purpose is rather to trace the effect of the condi
tions which have prevailed on our municipal bond mar
ket. It is hardly necessary to say that the appearance
of the United States Govei ment as a borrower in our
financial centres is an event of the first importance to
buyers and sellers of municipal securities, and one
which affects them more directly and immediately than
any other class of persons. The reason for this is ob
vious. Government bonds appeal to a certain extent
to the same classes of investors as State and city bonds.
The savings hanks, at least here in New York State,
are limited to these two forms of securities ; other fidu
ciary institutions, estates, &c., also invest largely in
both. Government bonds have certain advantages over
municipal bonds, such for instance as offering a wider
market; and other things being the same, where there
is a choice the investor would be apt to give United
States bonds the preference. In this sense the latter
serve as a displacement of municipal issues, or at least
they encroach upon the field of the latter.
Then the amount of bonds which the Government
put out was very large. The United States entered the
market three times as a borrower—in January and No
vember 1894 and in February 1895.
On the first
two occasions 150,000,000 bonds were issued, on the
latter occasion $62,300,000, making the large total of
$162,300,000 in a period of thirteen months. What an
important contribution this is to the supply of the par
ticular class of securities of which National, State, city
and county bonds all form a part may be judged when
we say that the aggregate of municipal securities issued
in a period of twelve months will hardly reach much
more than three-quarters of this amount. Another
thing should not be forgotten, and that is that the pres
ent marks an entirely new development in our recent
history. An excess of Government expenditures over
Government receipts (which in part occasioned the need
for a loan) belongs to the period of the Civil War, now
thirty years past. The issue of United States bonds
belongs to the same remote period, if we leave out the
various refunding operations, when new bonds were put
out to take up outstanding issues bearing a higher rate
of interest. In other words, from the close of the war
up to 1894 the Government had not appeared as a bor
rower except to pay off maturing loans or refund or
extend them at lower interest rates. As a matter of
fact, so far from the Government having added to
its bonded obligations during this period, it was de
creasing them in a very striking manner. For a num
ber of years the debt was being reduced at the rate of
over 100 million dollars a year. That is, the United
States by paying off its debt at that rate out of surplus
revenues was thus creating a vacuum or void in the
volume of high grade securities whioh municipal
bonds, with other investments, could fill. The ohange
5
from this condition to that where the Government was
putting out $162,300,000 of bonds in a period of thir
teen months, and hence taking away part of the field
from State, city, county and town bonds, was thus
striking and important.
The effect of the change might have been disturbing
to the municipal bond market except that coincidently
an extra demand for high-grade investments existed.
On account of the stagnation in trade, there was an
immense accumulation of idle money at our financial
centres. Call loans commanded no higher rate than 1
per cent, and at times it was almost impossible to place
money at all, so great was the plethora. The railroads
were not putting out new bonds to any considerable ex
tent, and in fact railroad securities had become greatly
discredited by the events of the last few years and by
the large losses in earnings which were being recorded.
It was a period of general doubt and distrust, too, when
security and safety were the main considerations and
the rate of interest a minor matter. In other words,
it was a period when high-grade investments, like
those represented by Government and municipal secu
rities, were especially sought after.
Capitalists,
moneyed men, financial and fiduciary institutions, all
stood ready to take this class of bonds—in part because
they wanted something positively safe, in part because
they could not employ their funds in any other or
better way. It will be remembered that we showed in
an article on the New York State trust companies in
the C h r o n i c l e of March 2 that the great increase in
the so-called stock investments of these institutions
had been to a large extent in the holdings of United
States bonds, and that likewise some of the companies
had added to their holdings of municipal securities.
It will also be within the knowledge of most of our
readers how largely the two issues of Government
bonds last year were taken by the banks and other finan
cial institutions. The latest issue, it is supposed, found
lodgment in much the same quarters, though the syn
dicate have not furnished the names of those to whom
bonds were allotted, and about half the total amount was
placed abroad. Under the circumstances it is not sur
prising to find that, notwithstanding these large issues
of United States bonds, more municipal bonds
were disposed of in 1894 than in either of the two years
proceding. An analysis of the totals has been made in
the preceding article, and we will only say here that
according to the records kept by us the aggregate of
the sales for 1894 was $117,167,225, against $77,421,273
in 1893 and $83,823,515 in 1892.
But it must not be supposed from this that the
floating of United States bonds had no influence upon
the municipal bond market. On each of the three
occasions when proposals were asked by the Govern
ment the effect was seen in a marked falling off in the
municipal sales. This does not indicate that the bonds
could not be disposed of at those times, but simply that
many municipalities did not consider it advisable to
invite bids while the Government was in the market.
In each case after the completion of the loan negotia
tions the municipal sales again increased, showing that
offerings had previously been postponed—all of which
goes to prove that Government bonds are recognized
as competing to a certain extent for favor among the
same class of investors. The United States brought
out its first loan in January of last year. The munici
pal bond sales for that month aggregated $7,072,267;
for the month preoeding (December 1893) the total
had been $17,300,564; after this drop from 17 million
6
to 7 million, the total in February 1894 rose again
to nearly 12 million dollars—$11,966,122. The
second loan of the Government was offered for sub
scription last November; for that month the munic
ipal bond sales were only 14,549,580; for the month
preceding (October) they had been $8,685,435; for
the month following (December) they were $13,486,374.
We should expect the third loan to have been most
disturbing of all. And that is what we find. In De
cember 1894, as just stated, the sales aggregated
$13,486,374; in January 1895 the aggregate fell off
to $10,332,101, and in the latter part of the month, on
account of the critical condition of the United States
Treasury, sales were very slow; in February, when the
loan was made, the sales amounted to only $5,779,486.
Deducting from this latter the $3,265,587 of New York
City bonds disposed of (which transaction had some
exceptional features connected with it, as noted below),
the remaining sales amount to only $2,513,899, a figure
which is but little better than the very low average
reached during the three months June, July and Au
gust 1893, when the panic developed, and when, by
reason of the monetary stringency, it was well nigh
impossible to find a market for any class of security or
form of property. This latter comparison will serve to
indicate how deeply disturbed the municipal bond
market was during February of the current year. It
is not difficult to understand the reason. Not only
was the market unsettled by reason of the crisis
through which the Treasury had passed, when a sus
pension of gold payments was averted only through the
arrangement with the Belmont-Morgan syndicate, but
the price at which the loan was taken threatened to
introduce an entirely new factor in the bond market.
This price was 104*49 for a thirty-year 4 per cent coin
bond, making the yield to maturity as high as 3f per
cent. If the loan was to be offered to the public at any
such figure as this, or if the credit of the Government
was to be regarded as so weakened that it would have
to pay permanently such a high rate, then an entire
readjustment of values in the investment world would
have to take place. During the time when uncertainty
on this point prevailed brokers reported that there was
absolutely nothing doing—nobody wanted to buy. The
contract price was made known on February 8; the
syndicate offered the bonds on the 19th at 112U at
which price the yield to maturity is 3£ per cent; on
the 20th the loan was many times over-subscribed, both
here and in London, and the same day the price for
the bonds advanced to 120, which affords a yield of not
quite 3 per cent. This indicated that the credit of
the Government, previously so greatly impaired, had
through the syndicate contract been restored, and thus
the disturbing element referred to was removed. Dur
ing March normal conditions were gradually resumed,
and the bond sales again increased, though the total
did not reach very large figures.
Another feature which the late period of disturbance
has served to bring out prominently is the advantage
that an obligation payable in gold has over one pay
able in currency. In this we are not referring to that
part of the contract with the Government where the
syndicate offered to take a 3 per cent bond of the
United States, specifically made payable in gold, at
par, but rather to the experience which our own city
had in disposing of its bonds. It has of course been well
known for a long time that gold bonds will sell more
readily than currency bonds. But in the case alluded
Vl LX
o.
to, of the bonds of New York City, the fact was estab
lished in a most striking and emphatic manner. On
the 30th of last January the Comptroller of the City
offered for sale $1,261,566 39 of 3 per cent currency
bonds. Not a single bid was received. That by itself
would not have occasioned special surprise perhaps.
Financial affairs were disturbed beyond measure at the
time, and the Government was on the verge of the sus
pension of gold payments. Thus the occasion was not
propitious for selling the bonds. But the same bonds
were again offered for sale on the 11th of February
(after the President had made known the arrangements
for protecting the gold reserve), and with no better
success—that is, this time two bids were actually
received, but the aggregate amount applied for under
both bids was only $27,000. The city officials then
began seriously to consider the advisability of raising
the rate of interest in the bond. It was finally deter
mined to try the experiment of making the bonds pay
able in gold. Accordingly bids were invited on the
26th for $3,265,587 13 of 3 per cent bonds, both prin
cipal and interest payable in gold. The aggregate, it
will be observed, was much larger than in the other
cases, it covering not only the original amount but
other amounts which it was sought to dispose of. This
offering proved a gratifying success. Twenty three
parties sent in bids, and not only was the whole amount
of the bonds applied for, but the applications reached
an aggregate of $12,512,761 39. Moreover, the Comp
troller was able to dispose of the whole lot at a
premium ranging from 0*277 to 3*25 per cent.
The lesson offered by this incident is obvious.
If ever there was a currency bond which was
offered with all the advantages in its favor, it
was the bond which the city of New York failed
to float. The credit of the city is of the very
best, and there has been absolutely no reason for dis
trusting it. Moreover, a reform administration, elected
by a tremendous popular majority, had just gone into
power. Besides this, the bonds were exempt from all
city and county taxes.- Nevertheless no takers for them
could be found. The moment, however, the bonds
were made payable in gold, the offerings were
insufficient to supply the demand. The city had pre
viously been able to sell its 3 per cent currency bonds
without difficulty. But the embarrassments and weak
ened condition of the Treasury in the matter of its
gold reserve had so deeply disturbed general confidence,
that even such an unexceptional security as that of this
city, and enjoying the advantages just enumerated,
was declined by investors.
While on this subject of making obligations payable
in gold, we may allude to another incident or event
which would have been suggestive under any circum
stances, and which is peculiarly so under the condi
tions regarding investments which are now ruling. We
refer to the action of the Legislature of Idaho (a silver
State) in repealing the latter part of January a law
passed two years ago, which in substance provided that
the obligations of the State and its municipalities
should be payable in either gold or silver. Not only
has this old law been repealed, but the new law ex
pressly enacts that the payment of the State’s bonded
indebtedness shall hereafter be in gold. The action
was commented on in the issue of the C h r o n i c l e of
February 2 (page 192), and it is not only significant as
showing that there is an advantage in promising pay
ment in gold, but as an illustration that light is pene
trating into dark places.

W e have been requested to give hereafter in this Supplement the debt present and past of the United States, and a
specification of and citations from the laws authorizing the various issues. It has always been our custom to publish in the
Chronicle either the first or second Saturday of each month the Treasury statement of the Government cash and outstand
ing obligations, which are regularly issued the first of each month, and we shall continue the publication hereafter. Besides
that, anc in accordance with the request referred to, we have now prepared the follow ing facts and figures relating to the
debt past and present.
A ll these data, except when otherwise specifically noted, are for June 30, the close of each fiscal year. First,
however, we give the details for the year ending June 30, 1894. The figures are so arranged as to present (1) the interestbearing debt, (2) the debt on which interest has ceased, (3) the debt bearing no interest, and (4) the net cash in the Treasury ;
with those facts the reader has the gross debt and the net debt on June 30, 1894. Since that date 50 million dollars (5 per
cents) were added to the “ loan of 1904"’ by the issue which was made in November 1894 ; thereafter and in February 1895
$62,317,500 of 4 per cents were issued called the “ Loan of 1925.” This last issue has not been completed yet, only $28,807,900
appearing in the first of April debt statement. W e shall refer to these recent additions again further below.

Tbe foregoing shows the Government debt on June 30, 1894, was made up of (1) interest-bearing debt, $635,041,800, of
(2) debt on which interest has ceased, $1,851,240 26, of (3) debt bearing no interest, $380,004,636 42, making total gross debt
$1,016,897,816 68. Subtracting from the total the net cash balance in the Treasury ($117,534,436 13) at the same date (June 30,
1894) we have the net debt, as it stood at the close of the last fiscal year, $999,313,380 55. To the above should now be added
the two loans made, the one ($50,000,000 of 5 per cents) in November 1894 and the other ($62,317,500 4 cents) in February 1895.
It should always be remembered that the statement of the Government debt does not include the United States bonds
issued to the Pacific Railroads. These are reported separately. The statement of the Pacific Railroad bonds and the amount
of interest paid thereon by the United States up to June 30, 1894, together with the condition of the Sinking Fund at that

For later and future details o f the debt, see the Chronicle as issued on the first or second Saturday of each month. W e
now add, first, references to and citations from the laws which are the authority for the debt as it stands to-day; and follow
ing that we give the two tables on the next page, which exhibit all the particulars of the total debt of the United States on
June 30 of each year (not including the Pacific Railroads bonds) from 1856 to 1894, both years inclusive :
“ FUNDED LOAN OF 1 8 9 1 ” (column 4) continued at 2 per cent. The bonds were issued in exchange for the 4*2 per cent funded loan of
1891 by mutual agreement between the Secretary of the Treasury and the holders, and were made redeemable at the pleasure of the Govern
rnent. Amount issued was $25,364,500 and they are all outstanding to-day.
“ FUNDED LOAN OF 1907” (column 3) 4 percents. The act of July 14,1870, authorizes the issue of 1,000 million dollars of bonds at I
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 duties of the United States, as well as from taxation in any form by or under State, municipal or local authority. Bonds to bo sold at

payment of the bonds bearing interest at a rate, not less than 5 per cent. Of the refunding certificates $10,012,750 were issued and there were
reported on March 31, 1895, to be outstanding $54,710.
“ LOAN OF 1 9 0 4 . ” —The act of January 14, 1875, authorizes the Hecrotary of the Treasury to use any surplus revenues from time to time

LOAN OF 1 9 2 5 . ” This loan was effected In Feb run ry 1805. 1n a message to Congress under date of February 8, 1895 (published in the
C h r o n ic le February 9, 1895, page 245), President, Cleveland stated that "In pursuance of Section 3700 of the Revised Statues the details of an

amount outstanding August 31, 1865, this being the date at which the public debt reached its highest point. This loan bore interest from 4 per

able to include the whole am ount outstanding as bearing 4 per cent interest on an average for the year.

SA V IN G S B A N K S’ IN V E S T M E N T S —P O W E R S AND R E S T R IC
T IO N S .—The Maine Legislature for 1895 was still in session when
these pages went to press. The Bank E xam iner, in rep ly to our inquiry
as to changes made or to be made in the Investm ent law this year, writes
that he is “ unable to state before adjou rn m en t” just w hat m ay be
done. In 1893 an ind irect change was effected by a very ingenious
m ethod o f taxation which seems to put a prem ium on hom e investm ents.
This law w ill bo found in P ublic Laws o f 1893, Chapter 258. It re
quires savings banks and trust and loan associations to m ake returns
in detail to the State Bank E xam iner o f (am ong other things) “ its as
sets, loans and investm ents, and its deposits w ithin and w ith ou t the
State, in separate colum ns,” show ing also w hether the purchase or
acquisition o f each item was before or after Jan. 1, 1893; thereupon it
becom es the E xam iner’ s duty to fix the m arket value of the investm ents.
The n ext step in this plan is the transfer o f those statements to the
State Assessor, w hose duty it then becom es to determine “ the values
o f the several fra n ch ises o f the said banks,” &c., “ a ccord in g to the fo l
low in g rule.” We have divided “ the ru le ” into paragraphs and num.
bered them ; otherwise w e fo llo w the w ords and punctu ation o f the
statute.
From the average am ount o f deposits, reserve fund and undivided
profits so returned b y each bank, institution or association there shall
in each case be deducted
(1) An am ount equal to the am ount o f United States bonds, the shares
o f corporation stocks such as are by law of this State free from taxation
to the stockholders, and the assessed value o f real estate ow ned by the
bank, institution or association, and also
(2) A n am ount equal to one-seventh o f such other assets, loans and
investm ents as b y said detailed statem ent appear to have been acquired
prior to January first, eighteen hundred and ninety-three, and also
(3) A n am oim t equal to tw o-sevenths o f such other assets, loans and
investm ents as by such statem ent appear to be loans to persons, resi
dent or corporations located and doing business in this Btate, in vest
ments in m ortgages on real estate in Maine and New’ Hampshire, secu
rities o f this State, public or private, bonds issued or guaranteed b y
corporations located and doing business in this State, severally made,
purchased or acquired since said January first, and also
(4) A n am ount equal to tw o-sevenths o f the cash on hand and cash
deposited within this State.
U pon the valu e o f each o f said franchises so ascertained the State
Assessors shall assess an annual ta x o f seven-eights of one per cent,
one-half o f said ta x to be assessed on or before the fourth M onday in
May, and one-half on or before the fou rth M onday in N ovem ber.
A ccord in g to the foregoin g, where the investm ents purchased after
January 1, 1893, are hom e securities or deposits in hom e banks, tw o .
sevenths o f such aggregate are to be deducted from “ the average
am ount o f deposits,” &c., in m aking up “ the values o f the several
fra n ch ises” for taxation.
In other particulars the statutes o f this State are in m any respects
quite liberal with regard to the kinds o f investm ents perm itted. A sug
gestive feature is the freedom granted these institutions for savings to
deposit m oney in national banks and receive interest therefor, to loan
m oney on national bank stocks, and to buy and hold nation al bank
stocks w ithout exception as to the part o f the country in w hich the
bank is situated. There is o f course a lim itation as to the am ount o f
holdings of any one bank stock, either fo r loans or for investm ent
w hile the statutes are rigorously strict in all adm inistrative matters,
such as m aking reports, subm itting to exam ination, disclosin g every
detail as to investments, &e.
The general provisions respecting investm ents are found in S ec . 100
o f Chapter 47 o f the R evised Statutes o f the State, and are as fo llo w s :
Section 100.—Savings banks and institutions for savings are
restricted to, and hereafter m ay invest, their deposits—
(1) In the public funds o f any of the New England States, including
bonds o f the counties, cities and tow ns of the same.
(2) In the public funds o f the U nited States and D istrict o f Columbia.
(3) In the stock of any bank or banking association incorporated
under authority o f this State or of the United States.
(4) In the m unicipal bonds o f cities o f ten thousand inhabitants, or
m ore, o f the States o f New York, Pennsylvania, M aryland, Ohio, In di
ana, K entucky, M ichigan, W isconsin, Minnesota, Iow a, Illinois, Mis
souri, Kansas and Nebraska, and in the public funds o f each o f the
above-nam ed Stares, and in the bonds o f counties in the said States,
having tw enty thousand population, w hen not issued in aid o f railroads;
provided that no investm ent shall be made in The bonds o f any cities or
counties o f the States above nam ed excep t the City o f St. Louis, Mo.
where the m unicipal indebtedness o f such city or county exceeds five
per cen t o f its assessed valuation.
(5) In the first m ortgage bonds o f any com pleted railroads o f the
States above named, together with New Jersey, Kansas and Nebraska,
and in the first m ortgage bonds of the Central Pacific, Union Pacific
and N orthern Pacific railroads, and in the railroad bonds o f this State.
(6) In the stock o f any dividend-paying railroad in New E ngland;
and in the stock and m ortgage bonds o f any other railroad leased to

interest on its bonds.
(7) In the stocks of any railroad com pany in this State unencum bered
by m ortgage.
(8) Iu the m ortgage bonds o f any w ater com pany in this State and
New Hampshire actually engaged in supplying to any city or cities,

w ater fo r dom estic use and for the extinguishm ent of fires, w herever
such com pany is earnifig m ore than its fixed charges, interest on its
debts, and its running expenses.
(9) In the stock and bonds o f any other corporations incorporated
under authority o f this State which earn and are paying regular d iv i
dends o f not less than five per cent a year.
(10) A nd may invest by loan on first mortgages o f real estate in this
State and New H am pshire not exceedin g six ty per cent of its va lu e;
and m ay loan to any county, city or tow n thereof.
(11) And m ay loan on notes with a pledge as collateral o f any o f the
aforesaid securities, including savings bank deposit books o f any
Vol. L X
savings bank in the State, and the stock of any of said railroad com
panies, n ot over seventy-five per cent of the m arket value o f such stock.
(12) A nd m ay loan to corporations having real estate and doing busi
ness in this State.
(13) And m ay also loan on a pledge or m ortgage o f such other p e r
sonal property as, in the ju dgm en t o f the trustees, it is safe and fo r the
interest o f the bank to accept.
(14) A ll investm ents shall be charged and entered on the books o f the
bank at their cost to the bank, or at par when a prem ium is paid.
Besides the foregoing, Sec . 101 (as am ended in 1893) provides that
any bank m ay hold real estate in the city or tow n in which such bank
or institution is located n ot exceeding five per cent o f its deposits.
Then fo llow tw o other sections, both o f which are im portant.
Section 102.—N o such bank or institution shall hold, by way of
investment or as security for loans, or both, more than one-fifth of the
capital stock of any corporation, nor invest more than ten per cent of
its deposits, not exceeding sixty thousand dollars, in the capital stock of
any corporation, nor have more than fifty per cent of its deposits in
mortgages of real estate. This section and the two preceding do not
apply to real estate or other assets acquired by the foreclosure of a
mortgage thereon, or upon judgment for debts or in settlements to
secure debts.
Section 103.—Savings banks m ay deposit on call in banks or banking
associations incorporated under the authority of this State or the law s
o f the U nited States, and receive interest fo r the same.
It is also provided (Sec. 104) that no loan shall be made directly or
indirectly to any officer o f a bank, or to any firm o f w hich such officer
is a m ember, and furtherm ore (Sec. 105) that no gift, fee, com m ission
or brokerage shall be received by any officer o f a savings bank on
accou n t of any transaction to which the bank is a party.

HISTORY OF DEBT.—New Hampshire's debt history is very brief
This State has always heen extremely conservative. In a return made
by each one of the United States to Comptroller Flagg, of New York,
in 1838, in reply to a circular issued by the Comptroller after
the passage of the General Banking Law in New York,
the financial officer of New Hampshire, Vermont and Con
necticut each reports that his State had issued no bonds
or stock ; the financial officer of Connecticut adds that his State
has issued none since the Revolutionary War. That was the condition
in 1838, and the policy then controlling seems to have heen pursued by
each of these Commonwealths during subsequent years. Even down to
the date of the breaking out of the Civil War all three of the States
named were without any public debt. But the Civil War worked a
change, having left its mark in the financial history of every Northern
State. In 1866 New Hampshire reported her funded indebtedness at
$4,169,818, contracted exclusively for war purposes. June 1,1869
the total outstanding was $3,213,962 22, against which the Treasurer
reported an asset of $77,082 89. The situation of the State debt now is
as below.

loan or give its m oney or credit directly or indirectly fo r the benefit of
a n y corporation h avin g fo r its ob ject a dividend o f profits or in any

The above is an amendment to the Constitution, w hich w as ratified in
1877. The am endm ent w ou ld appear to be intended as a com plete
estop p el to m u n icipal loan in g o f m oney or credit to railroad and indus

Portsmouth is one of the county seats of Rockingham County. The
city issued $343,000 bonds in aid of the Portsmouth & Dover RR., and
received in return stock of the par value of $344,000. This stock is
now worth considerable more than its face value, and the city has wisely
been selling it and applying the proceeds to the payment of the railroad
bouds. When all these bonds shall have been paid the city will still
have on hand a considerable balance from the sale of the stock.

INCIDENTS IN STATE ORGANIZATION, ETC.-O rigin ally New
York, Massachusetts and New Hampshii-e claimed sovereignty over
the territory covered by Vei-mont, New York’s claim extending to the
west bank of the Connecticut River. Massachusetts assented to the
ndependence of Vermont in March, 1771; New Hampshire adjusted
and settled its claim in 1782; and New York relinquished its claim
and consented to the admission of Vermont as a State in 1790.
Vermont was the first new State admitted into the union of States.
It ratified the Federal Constitution on January 10, 1790, hut was
“ received and admitted ” as a “ new and entire member ” by an act o f
Congress approved February 19, 1791. The first State constitution
appears to have been framed at Windsor in six days, the convention
meeting July 2, 1777, and adjourning July 8, 1777. There was no rati
fication of this instrument by the people, but the Legislature at its ses
sions in 1779 and 1782 adopted it and declared it to be a part of the laws
of the State. In March, 1787, the Legislature adopted another consti
tution, known as the Constitution of 1786. But iu 1793 a convention
convened to consider certain amendments, framed a new instrument in
which they embodied the amendments, aud pi-omulgated the amended
document as “ the Constitution of Vermont, adopted by the convention
‘ holden at Windsor, July 4, 1793.” This constitution,was adopted by
the Legislature November 2, 1796, and declared by it to be “ the
“ supreme law of the laud.” That instrument still remains as the Stat
Constitution, having been amended by conventions iu 1828,1836, 1850
and 1870, and by the people in 1883.
HISTORY OF DEBT.—Vermont lias no early debt history, its peo
ple having been clever enough to escape the various debt making
fevers which afflicted so many other States. In fact until the winter of
1858-59 the State does not seem over to have exercised its debt-making
power. In that winter the State House burned down, and a loan was
! authorized for $150,000 to rebuild it. The bonds were issued, but were
all redeemed in the four years beginning with 1861. Another and
much larger issue was authorized in oonsequence of, and for the pur
poses of, our Civil War. A report issued by the State September 5,
1865, gave the debt outstanding at that date at $1,650,000, all bearing
6 per cent interest, and all issued for war purposes. That amount
however, by no means covered the total outgoes on that account.
Vermont furnished 34,555 men, or about one-ninth of Its total popula
tion, for the army during that strugglo, and it paid each man during
service seven dollars a month in addition to the Government pay.
From the state report above referred to, we take the following state
ment of the sources and amount of I ho disbursements and receipts
during the period of tho war.

DEBT LIMITATIONS.—There appears to be nothing in the Consti
tution or in the Statutes o f V erm ont p rovidin g a general lim it to the
debt-m aking pow er o f m unicipalities. W hatever in each case the L eg
islature authorizes, the city, tow n, cou n ty or other civil division can
issue. Of course the purpose o f the im provem ent m ust be o f a public
character, as defined in our rem arks under this head w ith regard to
Maine. R ailroad subscriptions b y tow ns are authorized b y Sectiou
2760, chapter 132 o f the R evised Statutes, the section being as fo llo w s :
Section 2760. A tow n m ay aid in the construction o f a railroad or
ganized under the general law by issuing bonds to aid such railroad,
by taking capital stock therein, or in such other m anner as it directs,
but the liability so assumed shall n ot exceed eight tim es the grand list
o f the tow n at the time. Such aid shall be given in the w ay provided
in this chapter.
It w ill be n oticed that this section contains a lim it to the p ow er
granted o f m aking subscriptions in aid o f railroads—to w i t : That the
subscriptions shall n ot exceed eight tim es “ the grand list.” To e v olv e
th e “ grand lis t ” in V erm ont, the authorities first prepare a schedule of
all the property, real and personal, o f each individual, w ith valuations
entered at their real value in m oney, deducting debts o w in g ; after this
is done “ the grand l is t ” is made up b y taking one per cen t o f that
amount, according to Section 317, Chapter 25, o f the R evised Statutes,
w hich is as follow s: “ A ll taxable p roperty shall be set in the list at one
“ per cent o f its value in m oney on the first day o f A pril o f the year
“ in w hich the list is m ade.”
F ollow in g Section 2760, above cited, w hich authorizes subscriptions
in aid of railroads, are other sections describing the m ethod in w hich
these subscriptions m ust be made, by calling a tow n m eeting, voting*
<fcc., <fcc. Then follow s Section 2766, authorizing the issue o f bonds.
Section 2766. Such tow n m ay issue bonds, with coupons payable
semi-annually, at a rate o f interest n ot exceeding seven per cent, to
aid such road.
The on ly other general authority granted for the issue o f bonds b y
m unicipal corporations in V erm ont is that given fo r refunding ou t
standing bonds and notes. The Sections w hich grant this p ow er are
Sections 2769, 2775 and 2776, Chapter 132 o f the R evised Statutes,
Sections 2769 and 2776 are as follow s:
Section 2769. A town which has outstanding and unpaid negotiable
notes or bonds, issued to pay for stock subscribed to a railroad com
pany, under any act of the general assembly, may issue other nego
tiable notes or bonds to pay or retire such outstanding notes or bonds.
Section 2,775. A tow n having outstanding and unpaid orders, notes,
bonds or coupons, issued under any a ct o f the Legislature, for the pur
pose o f the erection o f public buildings, or in aid o f public im prove
ments, or for the paym ent o f soldiers’ bounties, m ay issue other
negotiable notes or bonds fo r the purpose o f retiring the outstanding
orders, notes, bonds and coupons, in the same m anner that it m ay issue
new notes or bonds to n a y or retire outstanding notes or bonds issued
in aid o f a railroad; and the powers, restrictions, duties and liabilities
o f the tow n and tow n officers in the m atter shall be the same as is
provided by law in the case o f the refunding by a tow n o f tow n bonds
issued in aid o f a railroad; and the interest on such new notes or bonds
shall be provided fo r in the same manner.
B y Section 2776 m unicipal corporations other than tow ns h ave the
sam e refunding pow ers granted them w hich are conferred u pon tow ns
b y the tw o sections last above cited.
The on ly other section which w e need quote is Section 2751 o f
Chapter 130, w hich names the objects fo r w hich tow ns m ay vote m oney.
I f m oney is appropriated for any other object, the Charter or a special
statute m ust be looked to for the authority.
Section 2751.—Tow ns in tow n m eetings m ay vote such sums of

ou t and repairing h ig h w a y s ; for the prosecution and defense o f the
com m on rights and interests o f the inhabitants, and for other necessary
incidental tow n expenses.
POPULATION OF STA TE .—A ccord in g to the first census (1790) the

SAVINGS BANKS INVESTMENTS-PRIVILEGES AND RE
STRICTIONS.—A single change w ith reference to savings b an k s
investm ents was m ade in 1894. Im portant changes w ere made in
1892 iu the provisions in force regulating and restricting the in vest
m ent and loaning o f the deposits. The w hole enactm ent on the subject
as the sections n ow stand is contained in the law s o f 1884 am ended in
1888, again am ended in 1892 and further am ended in 1894. In the
year 1884 all previous legislation respectin g savings banks was co l
lated and revised in and by an act entitled “ A n A ct relating to Savings
Banks and Trust Companies ” In 1888 and again in 1892 the m ore
im portant sections relating to investm ents w ere amended. In 1894
on ly Section 26 was changed, which fixes the portion o f the deposits a
savings bank m ay put into a lot and building. In the fo llo w in g cita
tions w e have com bined the legislation o f the four years on the su b
je c t of investm ents, and therefore present the law in the p a rticu la rs
m entioned as it exists to-day.
The first section having reference to investm ents is Section 23, which
treats o f real estate mortgages. W e need n ot cite the section in full. It
authorizes the investm ent o f 70 p.c. o f the assets in such m ortgages, on esixth at least o f w hich “ shall be upon real estate in this State ’’—that is
Verm ont. A proviso adds that on ly 50 per cent o f the assets m ay be
invested in m ortgages on real estate outside o f Verm ont. Section 24
relates on ly to obtaining and paying for insurance on the buildings
w hich m ay b e included in the valuation o f the real estate mortgaged^
Section 25 is as follow s and has reference to investm ents on person al
security.
Section 25—No loans or investm ents on personal security shall be
made excep t upon at least tw o approved names, n ot less than two o f
whom reside in this State or within fifty miles o f the institution m aking
such investm ent, and such personal loans or investm ents shall not be
fo r a longer time than one year; and n ot m ore than one-third o f the
assets o f a savings bank, savings institution or trust com pany shall be
invested in personal securities.
Section 26 on ly covers a single point, that is to say it restricts t o
five p er cen t (this read three per cen t un til the change in 1894) o f th e
deposits the am ount w hich a savings bank m ay invest in the lot and
building for the transaction o f its b u sin ess; then the law o f 1894 adds*
that a revenue m ay be derived from portions o f the building n ot required
for the bank’ s use. The n ext section (Section 27) covers the m ost im
portant o f the provisions relating to investm ents that are contained in
the law. W e give the section in full below. The separation into paragraphs
and the figures in parenthesis w hich num ber and begin the paragraphs are
our ow n, we having inserted them so that those who need to refer to or use
any particular portion o f the section can the m ore readily find the part*
desired. W ith lhat exception we give the section as it reads and w as
passed, preserving even the punctuation.
Section 27 (as amended by the Laws o f 1 8 9 2 ;—With the foregoin g
exceptions, the m oneys deposited in Savings’ Banks, Savings’ Institu
tions and Trust Companies, and the incom e therefrom , shall be invested
on ly as fo llo w s :
(1.) In the p ublic funds o f the United States, or public funds fo r which

(3.) In the stock o f any national bank in the New England States and
New Y ork and the cities o f Detroit, Chicago, St. Paul and M in n eapolis;

(4.) In the m unicipal bonds, n ot issued in aid o f railroads, o f th e

States o f Kansas, Nebraska, N orth Dakota. South Dakota, Oregon and
Washington, provided that n o investm ent shall be m ade in any o f the
counties, cities or tow ns in the States above named, excep tin g in cities
o f fifty thousand or m ore inhabitants, w here the m unicipal indebted

valuation, and w hen n ot issued in aid of ra ilroad s;
(5.) In the school bonds and independent school district bonds o f N ew

(6.) In the public funds o f all the States named in this section, in

including deposit books or deposit receipts, issued b y a savings bank*

(7.) But no savings bank, savings institution or trust com pany shall

trust com pany, nor invest more than ten per cent of its deposits, n or
m ore than thirty-five thousand dollars in the capital stock of any such
bank, banking association or trust com pany, and no investm ents shall
be made in the capital stock o f any such banks, banking associations
or trust com panies, ow ned or loaned upon, to exceed in the aggregate
one-fourth o f the deposits of any savings bank or trust com pany.
A p p rov ed N ovem ber 22, 1892.
The am ount o f loan w hich can bo made to one person or corporation,
<fcc., is restricted b y the n ext section, and w e give it in full. It is as
follow s:
Section 28.—No savings bank, savings institution or trust company
shall loan to any one person, corporation, firm or company, or the
individual members of such company, more than five per cent o f its
deposits, nor more than thirty thousand dollars; nor shall such loan on
personal security exceed ten thousand dollars.
The follow in g three sections (Sections 29, 30, 31) it is unnecessary toinsert in extenso. Section 29 restricts the am ount in w hich any officer*
director or em ployee m ay at any one time be indebted to any “ trust
co m p a n y ; ” since Section 32 enacts that the words “ trust com pany,”
as used in the act shall “ include savings banks,” this prohibition m ay
jiossibly apply to savings banks officers. Section 30 makes every stock
holder in a “ trust com pany ” liable for debts, <fcc., “ to the exten t o f

there has been an increase o f no less than 653,244 in the aggregate,
numbers having risen from 1,184,109 in 1870 to 1,837,353 in 1890. In
agriculture, in m anufactures and in wealth Georgia holds a very prom i
nent position. It is one of the original thirteen States, and hence its
record o f population extends back to the time o f the first Census, in
1790. In that year the num ber of persons within the border of the
State was 82,548. In 1800 the aggregate had been nearly doubled, the
population then being 162,686. B y 1830 the half-m illion lim it was
passed, and by 1860 the total was in excess o f a million. In 1890, as
already said, it was 1,837,353. There are only eleven other States in
the Union which have a larger population than this.

last two decades. In 1830, which is as far back as the Census records

continued comparatively small, the 1850 Census showing an increase
only to 87,445. In 1860 the total was 140,424 and in 1870 187,748.
From this, however, there was an increase to 269,493 in 1880 and to
nearly four hundred thousand (391,422) in 1890.

P O P U L A T IO N OF S T A T E .—Population in Alabama in recent
years has received a stimulus from the great mineral development going
on in the State. The State originally formed part of the old Mississippi
Territory, which embraced the tract of land between Georgia and the
Mississippi River now composing the States of Alabama and Missis
sippi. A separate Territorial Government for Alabama was established
^MB^TVTA— CITIES
April, 1895.
in 1817, and in 1819 the people were endow ed with the privileges o f
Statehood and the State adm itted as a m em ber into the Union. It
appears that in 1800 there w ere 1,250 persons w ithin the present
borders o f the State and in 1810 9,046 persons. The Census o f 1820*
the first taken after the establishment o f the State as a separate p oliti
cal entity, show ed a population o f as m uch as 127,901. Thenceforw ard
numbers gained very fast, there being an increase to 309,527 in 1830f
to 590,756 in 1840, to 771,623 in 1850 and to 964,201 in 1860. The
Civil W ar occasioned somewhat o f a check betw een 1860 and 1870, so
in that decade there was an increase on ly from 964,201 to 996,992.
B y 1880, how ever, the total had advanced to 1,262,505, and in 1890
the Census return showed that the 1*2 m illion mark had been passed.

New Orleans is co-extensive with the parish of the same name. An
amendment to the Louisiana Constitution authorizing the City of New
Orleans to refund its debt at a lower rate of interest was adopted, and
up to April 1,1895, the city had issued 4 per cent 50-year bonds to the
amount of $8,643,000, thus enabling it to pay all its maturing loans
and all those upon which it had option. The amendment provides that
the interest tax collected in excess of requirements shall be divided be
tween city schools and city improvements, and about $250,000 has
already been transferred to those departments. The city is now offer
ing for sale 4 per cent 50 year constitutional bonds to the amount of
$352,500.

PR E M IU M BONDS.—The premium bonds ($20 each) receive no
interest till drawn by lot for payment, and then they receive principal
with simple interest from July 15, 1875. They also get a premium if
they happen to draw a prize, 2,352 prizes aggregating $100,000 being
distributed yearly among the drawn bonds. From 1892 to 1895 inclu"
sive 21,000 bonds (par value $420,000) are to be paid each year, in
two instalments of 10,500 bonds each, on January 15 and July 15; after
1895 bonds to the number of 10,000 will be paid semi-annually—
20,000 bonds annually. There are two drawings to determine the
bonds payable July 15 in each year, and they take place January 31
and April 15 next preceding. The drawings to determine the bonds
payable January 15 take place July 31 and October 15.
The drawings to determine which bonds shall receive prizes (ranging
from $20 to $5,000) occur just before the bonds are paid. Drawn
premium bonds are receivable by the city for all dues, licenses, taxes
and debts of any description at their face value and interest.
D E B T L IM IT A T IO N . —
The act of the Legislature authorizing the
premium bonds forbade the city to increase her debt in any manner
until the premium bonds are paid.

PAR V A L U E OF BONDS. •The bonds are nearly all, i f not all, fo r
St a t e
$ 1,000.
IN T E R E S T .—Interest on all the bonds is overdue—on most of the
old bank bonds since July, 1842, on the funding bonds of 1869 and 1870
since 1872 or thereabouts. The funding bonds of 1875 (Lougliboroughs)
were all retired prior to May, 1885, and those now outstanding have
been reissued since; hence the amount of overdue interest upon them is
comparatively small. Under the acts of 1887 and 1889 overdue coupons
were made exchangeable for certificates of indebtedness, which are re
ceivable for certain dues. (See State and City S upple m en t .)
T O T A L D E B T , E T C .— The subjoined statement shows the total
bonded debt recognized by the State and overdue interest thereon on
the first of October 1894, 1892, 1890 and 1888.

From the above statement it would appear that the State’s gross in
debtedness had increased between the years 1888 and 1890 by $114,982.
whereas in fact there was a reduction of $395,415. The discrepancy is
accounted for by the fact that $255,000 bonds and the accrued interest
thereon, which prior to 1890 had been omitted from the Treasurer’s re
port were in that year included in the indebtedness, they having been
found to he legal obligations of the State. The State is now reducing
its debt in accordance with the acts of April 5,1887, and April 9, 1889.
(See State and Cit y Supple m en t .)

laws on the subject of the execution of such bonds, and if, as the result
of such examination, the Attorney-General shall find that such bonds
were issued in conformity with the Constitution and laws, and that
they are valid and binding obligations upon such county, city or town
by which they are executed, he shall so officially certify.
S e c . 5. That when said bonds have been examined by the AttorneyGeneral and his certificate attached thereto, they shall be registered
by the Comptroller in a book to be kept for that purpose, and the cer
tificates of the Attorney-General to validity of such bonds shall be
preserved on record for use in the event of litigation.
S e c . 6. That such bonds, after receiving the certificate of the
Attorney-General and having been registered in the Comptroller’s
office, as provided herein, shall thereafter be held, in every action, suit
or proceeding in which their validity is or may be brought into ques
tion, prima facie valid and binding obligations. And in every actionbrought to enforce collection of such bonds, the certificate of the
Attorney-General, or a duly certified copy thereof, shall be admitted
and received in evideuce of the validity of such bonds, together with
the coupons thereto attached; provided the only defense which can
be offered against the validity of said bonds shall be for forgery or
fraud. But this section shall not be construed to give validity to any
such bonds as may be issued in excess of the limit lived by the Consti
tution or contrary to its provisions, but all such bonds shall, to the
extent of such excess, be held void.
Section 7 provides penalties for false certificates, etc. Section 8
provides against the retroactive effect of the present law. Section 9repeals all laws in conflict, etc. Section 10 is the emergency clause.
P O P U L A T IO N OF S T A T E .—The record of population in Texas is
a reoord of large and continuous gains. The State already had a con
siderable number of inhabitants when it existed as a separate republic.
Its admission into the Union occurred two days before the close of the
year 1845 (Congress having passed the Act of Annexation the preced
ing March) and the following Census (that of 1850) showed a popula
tion of over two hundred thousand—212,592. In the decade to 1860
the number was nearly trebled, 604,215 being the Census figure for the
year last mentioned. Between 1860 and 1870 the Civil War checked
development to some extent, so that the rate of growth was much
smaller, and yet the 1870 Census showed an addition for the ten years
of over two hundred thousand, raising the total to 818,579. In the two
decades since then the growth has been simply marvellous. From
818,579 in 1870 the aggregate jumped to 1,591,749 in 1880, and to no
less than 2,235,523 in 1890. It will be seen that there was an absolute
addition of 773,170 in the 1870-80 decade, and an absolute addition of
643,774 in the 1880-90 decade. The magnitude of these figures will be
better appreciated if we say that the addition of 1870-80 was larger
than that of any other State in the Union, while the addition for 1880-90
was exceeded only by New York, Pennsylvania and Illinois. Texas has
advanced in rank in every decade since its admission into the Union, and
in 1890 stood seventh in population among the States, as against
twenty-fifth in 1850. In area it is larger than any other State, being
over five times the size of New York. This, combined with the fact that
the State has a large railroad mileage, that soil and climate are well
adapted for cotton raising and for agriculture generally (the State
already producing very much more cotton than any other State), shows
what the prospects of future development are.

Of the total population in 1890 492,837 were blacks, which compares
with 393,384 in 1880.253,475 in 1870, 182,931 in 1860 and 58,558 in
1850. It will be observed that the proportion of the colored race has
greatly diminished, the ratio for 1890 being only 22-04 per cent, against
24-71 per cent in 1880 and larger percentages in previous decades.

“ the amount of their capital stock.” Section 31 forbids any officer or
employee of a savings bank, etc., receiving any fee or present, etc.,
directly or indirectly, for any loan made or security bought, etc.
The next section (32)we give in full. It confers authority upon sav
ings banks to make deposits on call in banks and trust companies in
certain States and cities, and is as follows.
S ection 32.—(As amended by Laws 1888, page 56.)—The words “ trust
company ” in this act shall be construed to include savings banks and
trust company. A savings bank, savings institution or trust company
may deposit on call in banks, banking associations or trust companies
in this State, or in the cities of New York, Boston or Chicago, or in
national banks in the cities of St. Paul, Minneapolis and Kansas City,
with or without interest, as may be agreed upon, sums not exceeding in
in the aggregate twenty per cent of the assets of such savings bank,
savings institution or trust company.
Section 33 enacts that savings banks may hold real estate acquired
on foreclosure or otherwise taken to secure debt, but must be sold
within five years, &c. Section 34 authorizes savings banks to demand
and receive on loans 6 per cent interest.
The foregoing covers all the sections under the general head of
“ investments and Loans” given in the original act of 1884 as they
stand after the amendments made in 1888 and 1892.

HISTORY OF DEBT.—In 1821, the year follow in g the date of
Maine’ s separation from M assachusetts, the am ount o f M assachusett’ s
debt, which after deducting the p ortion assumed b y Maine reached
nearly $500,000, w as paid off. A t that tim e the State’ s financial
affairs w ere m anaged w ith great care and econom y. B ut in 1835
a little different spirit appears to have possessed the people, or
at least the govern m en t; fo r at that date and during follow in g
years taxes w ere rem itted and appropriations made w ithout
the same regard fo r the w ays and m eans o f paym ent that had
th eretofore been observed. As a consequence the excess o f e x
penditure appeared in the shape o f a gradually increasing floating
debt w hich in 1839 reached $300,000, and w as funded in a 5 per oent
stock. That am ount is, o f course, m ore significant on accou n t o f its
being the starting p oin t o f the present indebtedness o f M assachusett s
than on accou n t o f its size, though in those days size was n ot measured
through m odern glasses. It is o f interest, too, to m ention that am ong
the appropriations o f this period was one o f $32,000, a State bounty
on wheat and silk production, indicating that the same thought w hich
as w e have seen prevailed in Maine found lodgm ent also in Mass
achusetts ; but in applying the thought, the m ethod used and the am ount
granted show that the old B ay State possessed the m ore frugal mind.
A nother and a very im portant departure in the m atter o f the State
debt occurred in 1837. In that year the first loan was issued in aid of
railroad construction, the issue being in behalf o f the W estern Railroad,
(now a part o f the Boston A A lbany), and the am ount o f the issue being
$2,100,000, under an act o f February 2 1 ,1 8 3 5 . Subsequently it was
found that the estim ated cost was m uch too low , so that the State
was com pelled to add other subscriptions, the last being fo r $700,000,
by act o f March, 1841, m aking the total issues fo r that enterprisereach $4,000,000. Other similar liabilities were assumed in aid
o f other roads about the same time, so that the total debt
in January, 1847, amounted to $6,044,555. Later transactions
o f a like character are so fam iliar as hardly to need recital
here. A n d yet this brief resume w ould be lackin g in its m ost
onspicuous feature were w e to om it separate m ention o f the T roy A
Greenfield R ailroad and the H oosac Tunnel. The H oosac Tunnel enter
prise first received legislative recogn ition as far back as 1854, though the
earliest issue o f bonds under that act, o f 22,500 pounds sterling, was not
made until 1858. In July, 1861, the com pany abandoned the w ork and
the State took it up, carrying it on until 1877, w hen the G overnor in his
address to the Legislature announced that the tunnel w as finished, the
total issue o f bonds by the State on accou n t of it reaching $14,198,028.
Of course fo r all subscriptions to railroads, etc., the liability in cases
w here the State did n ot ow n the p roperty w as covered by a m ortgage
to the State on the road aided, sinking funds being also p rovided fo r
the redem ption o f the bonds w hen they fell due.
The on ly other large class o f debt M assachusetts has incurred is the
Civil War debt. Paym ents on this acecount, in one form and another,
have been continued dow n to the present time. W e n otice that State
A uditor Ladd in 1885 made a summary of am ounts so disbursed dow n
to close o f 1885, as fo llo w s :

The above, he says, does n ot include interest on the State aid p ay
ments, and if added at 5 per cent “ the aggregate w ould reach over
$59,000,000.” A t the close o f 1890 there were outstanding o f bonds
ssued on account o f the w ar less than $9,000,000. The w hole debt on
January 1, 1894, was $34,811,415, having been increased $6,684,000
during the year 1893 by the issuance o f bonds for the abolition o f grade
crossings, $400,000; Fitchburg R ailroad securities loan, $5,000,000,
A rm ory loan, $100,000; m etropolitan sewerage loan, $579,000, and
State H ouse loan, $605,000. The debt was decreased during 1893 by
the paym ent o f T roy A Greenfield R ailroad bonds to the am ount of
$1,150,000, and the net increase is therefore $5,534,000. D uring 1894
a larger am ount o f public debt was paid than in any previous year in
the existence o f the Com m onwealth, paym ents falling due as detailed

per cent in the 1880-90 decade.
DEBT L IM IT A T IO N S .—There seems to be no p rovision in the Con
stitution o f Massachusetts lim iting the pow er of the Legislature to
create State indebtedness, or lim iting its pow er to authorize m unicipal
ndebtedness. Statutes general and special have, how ever, been passed
on this subject with respect to Cities and Towns.
First among these Statutes needing m ention we have Chapter 29 o f
the R evised or “ P u blic Statutes.” The im portant sections to be cited
contained in Chapter 29 are as follow s. We give on ly the substance
o f the sections, n ot the words.
Section 1—Provides that cities and tow ns shall not incur debt
excep t in the m aim er and w ithin the lim itations prescribed in this
chapter.
Section 2—Provides (as a prelim inary fo r determ ining w hether the
lim itation fixed by Section 4 has been reached by any m u n icip a lity)
that the water debt and the sinking funds shall be deducted from th e
tota l debt.
Section 3—Provides that the first 17 sections o f chapter 29 shall not
apply to debts incurred in aid o f railroads, to water scrip issued u n der
special statutes, or to indebtedness for a tire district.
Section 4—Provides that no city or tow n except as provided in the
follow in g section shall becom e indebted in an am ount which exceeds 3
p er cent on the last p reced in g valuation.
S ection 5—Provides that cities and tow ns w hich were indebted o n
the 13th day o f June, 1875, to a n am ount not less than 2 per cent on
valuation for that year m ay “ increase such indebtedness to the exten t
“ o f an additional one per cent on that valuation and no m ore.”
Section 6—Provides that cities, Ac., “ m ay b y ord in ary vote in cu r
debts fo r tem pory loans ” in anticipation of the year’ s taxes and o f the
year’ s taxes n ext ensuing.
S e c t i o n 7—Provides that other debts than those referred to in
section 6 shall be incurred on ly by a vote o f two-thirds of the voters
present at a tow n meeting, o f two-thirds of all the members of each
branch o f the city council, and approved by the Mayor; or if the M ayor
disapproves, b y another like vote after notice of such disapproval.
April, 1895.
MASS^tSttUSrrTS—BEST O f ST/kTE.
S e c t i o n 8—Provides that debts incurred for w ater must be payable
^within 30 years; in constructing sewers within 20 years; all other debts
w ithin 10 years.
S e c t i o n s 9 to 17 inclusive, contain interesting provision s relating to
lin k in g funds and other allied matters.
S e c t i o n 18—Provides that any oity w hich at a m eeting o f its voters
has accepted by a two-thirds vote any act to supply said city with
w ater, m ay by a vote o f a m ajority o f the members o f each branch o f
“the city cou n cil con tract debts and issue bonds fo r the purpose.
S e c t i o n 1 9 — P rovides that tow ns, Ac., shall n ot increase their debt
b y subscriptions in aid o f railroads beyond 3 per cen t o f valu ation ; but
the lim itation o f this section shall n ot apply to tem porary loans m en
tio n e d in Section 6.
S ections 20 to 23, which are the final ones of Chapter 29, have no
reference to the subject we are discussing and need not be cited.
A s the reader has seen, the foregoin g (Section 4, Chapter 29) fixes the
g e n e r a l debt lim itation fo r cities and tow ns at 3 p er cent.
This general lim itation was low ered b y a later law. The p rovision is
fo u n d in Chapter 312, Section 2 o f the “ P u blic Statutes,” w hich p rov i
sion reduces the general debt lim itation from 3 per cent to 2 ^ p e r
cent on the average valuation fo r the preceding three years. W orcester,
L yn n , Gloucester and B rock ton are in the same Section exem pted from
4he operation o f the Section until January 1, 1889—later than 1889 the
o n ly exem ptions w e find in the Statutes are special in their purpose,
n ot general.
The tem porary loans provision, as it appears above in Section 6
(Chapter 29), is also changed b y Section 4, Chapter 312, b y om itting
““ and o f the year n ext en su in g ; ” so that at present cities and tow n s by
'o rd in a ry vote can ineur debts fo r tem p orary loans in a n ticip ation of
the taxes o f the year on ly in w hich such debts are incurred.
The foregoin g statem ents cov er all the m aterial facts general in their
a p p lica tion passed “with respect to debt lim itation. In addition to
th ese General P rovisions there are various Special Laws w hich contain
excep tion s to the general law as to debt lim itation, w hich a pply to B os
to n , Cambridge, Lynn, N ew buryport, W altham , W orcester, Ac., Ac.

T A X V A L U A T IO N .—The assessed valuation o f real estate in
R hode Island in 1890 was $243,658,190 ; personal property, $84,872,
-369 ; total $328,530,559. T a x rate (per $1,000) was $1*80.
POPULATION OF S T A T E —F or the first fe w decades o f our
national existence the population o f R hode Island grew v e ry slow ly,
but in the later decades the pace has been rapid. In 1790 the num ber
o f inhabitants was 68,825 and in 1800 it had increased on ly to 69,122,
4n 1850 it had risen to 147,545 ; for 1890 it is 345,506.

1 8 7 0 ................ 217,353 1 84 0 ................. 108,830 1 8 1 0 ................... 76,931
It w ill be observed that during the last thirty years the addition
to population has been alm ost as large as the total population in 1860
—that is, the num bers have almost doubled, the 345,506 fo r 1890 com
paring with only 174,620 in the year mentioned. In the decade from
1860 to 1870 the rate o f grow th was 24*47 per cent, in the 1870 to 1880
decade 27*23 per cent and in the last decade 24*94 per cent.
MUNICIPAL INDEBTEDNESS Li MITAT10 NS. - T h e r e is nothing
in the Constitution o f R hode Island lim iting the am ount o f city debts.
"The follow ing, how ever, are tw o sections taken from Chapter 34 o f the
R evised Statutes o f the State, passed in 1878. Since 1878 these
provisions have been in force, and consequently 3 per cent o f the ta xa
ble prop erty has been the lim it o f the pow er o f each tow n to create
debt.
Section 16. “ The outstanding notes, bonds and contracts o f tow ns
shall be paid and be fulfilled according to the tenor thereof, and all
public w orks now authorized to be prosecuted shall be prosecuted, and
.all indebtedness now authorized to be incurred on accou n t thereof m ay
be incurred according to the ten or o f the authority therefor.
S e c t i o n 17. No tow n shall incur any debt in excess o f three per
centum o f the taxable p roperty of such tow n, including the indebted
ness o f such tow n on the tenth day o f A pril, one thousand eight hun
dred seventy-eight, but the giving o f a n ew note or bond, fo r a pre
existin g debt, or for m oney borrow ed and applied to the paym ent of
such pre-existing debt, is excepted from the provisions o f this section,
and the am ount o f any sinking fund shall be deducted in com puting
such indebtedness.”
SAVINGS BANK INVESTMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS.-In
•the “ P ublic Statutes o f Rhode Island” (which w ere revised in 1880-81
b y com m issioners and put in operation b y act o f Legislature February
1st, 1882,) Sections 52, 53, 54, etc., of Chapter 153, w ill be found the
provisions o f law with reference to Savings Bank Investm ents. Section
52, which recites in detail the stocks, bonds, etc., these Institutions are
allow ed to put their m oney in, was amended in tw o particulars in
1886. B elow w e give that section in full, as now in fo r c e , the amend
ments o f 1886 being put in brackets and printed in italics, so that the
reader can at once distinguish them and measure their significance.
S ection 52. Institutions for savings shall invest their receipts—
(1) In p u b lic stocks or bonds of any State or of the United States,
(2) Or in any bank stock, or in notes or bonds o f any tow n or city,
(3) [Or in notes o f any school district or fir e distinct in any New Eng•land State,]
(4) Or in such corporate stocks or bonds as they m ay deem safe and
•secure,
(5) Or they m ay discount notes, bonds or drafts o f individuals or cor
porations, with tw o other responsible endorsers, sureties or guarantors,
(6) Or tlie notes, bonds or drafts of individuals or corporations secured
by the public notes, stocks or bonds o f any State of the United States,
o r o f any tow n or city [or o f any school district or fir e district in any
New England Stale], or b y the stocks or bonds o f any corporation which
m ay be deemed to be safe, or b y m ortgage on real estate.
The only other Sections which call for publication are 53 and 54, the
form er appearing to give Savings Institutions quite extensive powers
as to m aking and keeping deposits in com m ercial banks. When so
kept, how ever, they are to be kept “ payable on demand whether draw• ing interest or n ot.” The tw o sections are subjoined.
“
Section 53.—No such institution shall have an am ount exceeding
one-half o f its receipts invested in notes, bonds or drafts of individuals
or corporations, unless secured by some public notes, bonds or stocks as
aforesaid, or b y m ortgage on real estate, but the preceding section shall
not be so construed as to forbid any such institution from placing and
holding on deposit in any bank such reasonable am ount o f their re
ceipts as is custom ary and they m ay deem proper, payable on demand,
whether draw ing interest or not.
Section 54.—N o money shall be loaned by any institution for sav
ings to any trustee, director or other officer of such institution.

POPULATION OF STATE- —As in the case of some of the other
New England States, population in Connecticut during the last few
decades has been growing faster than in the earlier decades. Between
1790 and 1800 the aggregate increased but very slightly, or from
237,946 to 251,002; during the next fifty years the total addition was

Societies; section 1,804 restricting am ount o f loans to one party on

Besides the ordinary safeguards w hich are in all savings bank law s

merits given belowt see page 41.
The relation w hich the tow ns, cities and boroughs o f this State bear
to one another is peculiar, and requires a w ord o f explanation. The
State is divided into eight counties (having an indebtedness o f on ly
$129,655), and these, counties are made up o f tow ns, num bering in the
aggregate 167. The towns are the civil unit, and on the assessed valu a
tion (which is called the “ Grand List) o f each t o w n ” is levied the
tax for State purposes as well as the tax for tow n expenditures. The
tow ns on O ctober 1 ,1 8 9 2 , had a total indebtedness, as appears from
th e table appended, o f $11,801,209, o f which $9,412,4 17 w as funded.
Within the tow n is often situated a city or a borough, or both, all o f
which m ay at the same time have bonds outstanding. There are ten
cities, each with one exception bearing the same nam e as the tow n in
which it lies. Thus H artford city and H artford town are the same
in area, but town and city have a separate corporate existen ce and
each issues its own bonds.
New London town and city are also
coextensive, and B ridgeport tow n and city have recently been c o n
solidated. In general, how ever, town and city are distinct, New Haven
city, for instance, making no m ention in its financial report o f the debt
o f New Haven tow n, though there is no difference in the exten t of
town and city. The city Indebtedness o f the w hole Htatc, as indicated
below , is $7,040,189.
The borough stands in about the same relation to the tow n as does
the city. In Norwalk town we find both the borough o f Norwalk and
tlie city of 8011th Norwalk. There are 22 boroughs and they have an
indebtedness o f $1,589,94 *. The subjoined statem ent gives the totU|

This city is situated in N ew H aven County. B y enactm ent o f the
Legislature i a 1893 the tow n o f D erby, borough o f Birm ingham , and
the school districts o f the tow n, were consolidated under one form o f
governm ent, assuming the nam e o f the “ City o f D erby.” The consoli
dation took effect on January 1, 1894, and the debts o f the tow n,
borou gh and sch ool districts w ere assumed by the city. The figures of
valuation and ta x rate given b elow are those returned b y the B oard of
Assessors, but at a city m eeting it w as voted n ot to a ccept the list nor

w ithout any constitutional or statutory lim it to their debt-m aking
power.
As stated above, this d efect has been corrected by the Constitution
adopted in N ovem ber 1894. That docum ent has p u t a general and
uniform lim it to the p ow er o f all counties and cities o f the State to con
tract and p u t out their obligations, leavin g to the Legislature to fix the
debt-m aking p ow er o f villages and tow ns only. These provisions are
found in A rticle 8, Section 10. W e give that section in full. The
separation into paragraphs and the figures in parenthesis w hich num
ber and begin the paragraphs are our ow n, w e h avin g inserted them so
that those who need to refer to or use any particular portion can the m ore
readily find the p art desired. W ith that excep tion w e g ive Section 10
o f A rticle 8 as it reads, preserving even the punctuation.
(1) No county, city, tow n or village shall hereafter give any m oney
or property, o rlo a n d ts m oney or credit to or in aid o f any individual,
association or corporation, or becom e directly or indirectly the ow ner
of stock in, or bonds of, any association or corporation ; n or shall any
such county, city, tow n or village be allow ed to incur any indebtedness
e x c e p t fo r county, city, tow n or village purposes. This section shall
n ot preven t such county, city, tow n or village from m aking such p r o
vision fo r the aid or support of its poor as m ay be authorized b y law.
(2) No cou n ty or city shall be allow ed to becom e indebted fo r any
purpose or in any m anner to an am ount -which, in clu d in g existing
indebtedness, shall exceed ten per centum o f the assessed valuation o f
the real estate of such county or city subject to taxation, as it appeared
b y the assessment rolls of said county or city on the last assessment for
State or county taxes prior to the incurring o f such in d eb ted n ess; and
all indebtedness in excess o f such lim itation, excep t such as m ay now
exist, shall be absolutely void, excep t as herein otherw ise provided.
(3) No cou n ty or city whose present indebtedness exceeds ten per
centum o f the assessed valu ation o f its real estate subject to taxation ,
shall be allow ed to becom e indebted in any further am ount until such
indebtedness shall be reduced within such limit.
(4) This section shall n ot be construed to preven t the issuing o f certif
icates o f indebtedness o f revenue bonds issued in anticipation o f the
collection o f taxes for am ounts actually contained, or to be contained
in the taxes for The year w hen such certificates or revenue bonds are
issued and payable out o f such taxes.
(5) N or shall this section be construed to p reven t the issue o f bonds
to p rovid e fo r the supply of w a te r ; b u t the term s o f the bonds issued to
provid e the supply o f w ater shall n ot exceed tw en ty years, and a sink
in g fun d shall b e created on the issuing o f the said b onds for their re
dem ption, b y raising annually a sum w hich w ill produ ce an am ount
equal to the sum of the princip al and interest o f said bonds at their
m aturity.
(6) A ll certificates o f indebtedness or revenue bonds issued in an
ticipation of the collection of taxes, which are n ot retired within five
years after their date o f issue, and bonds issued to p rovid e fo r the supply
o f w ater, and any debt hereafter incurred b y any portion or part of a
city, if there shall be any such debt, shall be included in ascertaining
the p ow er o f the city to becom e otherw ise indebted.
(7) W henever hereafter the boundaries o f any city shall becom e the
same as those o f a county, the p ow er o f the cou n ty to becom e indebted
shall cease, but the debt o f the cou n ty at that tim e existin g shall n ot be
inclu ded as as part o f the city debt.
(8) The am ount hereafter to be raised b y ta x fo r cou n ty or city pur
poses, in any cou n ty con tainin g a city o f over one hundred thousand
inhabitants, or any such city o f this State, in addition to p rovid in g for
the principal and interest o f existin g debt, shall n o t in the aggregate
exceed in any one year tw o per centum of the assessed valuation o f the
real and personal estate o f such cou n ty or city, to be ascertained as
prescribed in this section in resp ect to county or city debt.
B y the terms o f the foregoin g section, Paragraph (1), every “ County
City, Tow n or V illage ” is inclu ded in the prohibition against (1) loan!
in g * its m on ey or credit,” (2) in b ecom in g “ directly or ind irectly the
ow n er o f stock in or bonds o f any association or corp oration ,” and (3)
in incurring “ any indebtedness e x cep t fo r County, City, Tow n or V il
lage purposes.” M ost o f the other paragraphs iuclude on ly Counties
and Cities.
A ccord in g to Paragraph (6) it seems that “ any d ebt hereafter in.
curred b y any portion or part o f a city, if there shall be any such debt,
shall be included in ascertaining the p ow er o f the city to b ecom e others
w ise indebted.”
W e w ou ld also call special attention to Paragraph (7), that w henever
hereafter the boundaries o f any city shall becom e the sam e as those o f
a cou n ty “ the p ow er o f the county to become indebted shall cease, but the
d ebt o f the cou n ty at that tim e existing shall not be included as a part
o f the city debt.”
In M ay 1886 the New Y ork Court o f A ppeals decided at the end o f a
litigation begun in July 1885 that the sin kin g fu n d was not a p a r t o t
the city debt within the m eaning o f the above provision o f the Consti
tution lim iting the creation o f debt to 10 per cent o f the assessed valua
tion o f the real estate.
Tow ns and V illages are not lim ited in their debt-m aking p ow er by the
Constitution. Those m unicipalities will be govern ed b y general or
special statutes; p robably these w ill be am ended before the 1895 Legis.
lature adjourns.
EXEMPTION FROM TAXATION.—There is one general New York
statute with reference to exem ption from ta xa tion “ for tow n , cou n ty,
m unicipal or State p u rp oses” o f a class o f bonds “ issued by any village,
city, town or cou n ty ” in the State, which seems to have a w ider a p p li
cation than Is generally know n. As originally passed in 1881 the e x
em ption applied only to bonds issued to pay up or retire bonds “ created
to aid in the construction o f any railroad.” A new law was passed in
1886 (Chapter 316) making the tax exem p tion a pply to “ new bonds ”
issued under the act to retire any o f the then “ present bonded indebted
ness o f any village, city, tow n or cou n ty in this State.” With reference
to such new bonds the third section o f the a ct o f 1886 says : “ All new
bonds issued by any village, city, tow n or cou n ty in this State under
the provisions o f tills act shall be exempt from taxation for tow n,
county, municipal or State purposes until the period when they are
made payable.” In 1893 still another law was passed m aking the
statute cover any bonded Indebtedness. The law as it now stands will
he found in editorial on page 1 o f this Ru pple m u n t .
In addition to the foregoin g there are special laws authorizing special
issues that are exem pt, but w hich we have n ot room to quote here.
For New York O'lty there is a general statute which directs how any o f
its bonds m ay be made exem p t from city and county taxation. T hat
statute Is subjoined.
Hkc. 137. The Commissioners o f the “ Sinking Fund o f the ( Ity o f New
York for the redem ption of the city d ebt,” when duly authorized by
43
ordinance o f the Common Council, m ay, by con cu rrent resolution*
direct that the bonds and stocks o f said city, issued pursuant to law ,
after June ninth, eighteen hundred and eighty, shall be e x e m p t fro m
taxation by said city and by the cou n ty o f New Y ork, but not from ta x a
tion for State p u rp oses; and all bon Is and stocks issued pursuan t to
such authority shall be exem p t 3rom ta xa tion accordin gly, p rovid ed
that said bonds and stocks shall n ot hear interest exceedin g the ra te o f
four and one-half per centum per annum. The bonds and stock s o f th e
city o f New Y ork issued pursuant to the provision s o f this se ctio n shall
express upon their face the fa c t that they are exem p t from ta x a tio n by
the city and cou n ty o f New York, but n ot from State ta x a tio n , and
shall refer to this section, and to the ordinance o f the Common C ouncil,
and the resolution o f the C om m issioners o f the Sinking Fund author
izin g their issue.

In 1892, b y an a ct approved on the 28th o f M ay o f that year, a co m

am ong the States o f the Union, but has n ot alw ays held that position.
In 1790, w hen New Y ork had 340,120, M assachusetts had 378,787,
N orth Carolina had 393,751, Pennsylvania had 434,373 and Virginia as
m uch as 747,610, M aryland then having 319,728. That is, at the time
o f the first Census New Y ork stood fifth. In 1800, w ith a population o f
589,051, the State passed both Massachusetts and North Carolina and
advan ced to third place, V irginia still standing first w ith 880,200, and
Pennsylvania second w ith 602,365. In 1810 Pennsylvania also was
passed, Virginia, how ever, still leading slightly w ith 974,600, against
N ew Y ork ’ s 959,049. In 1820 the Old Com m onwealth likew ise was
le ft behind, and ever since then N ew Y ork has retained her place at the

SAVINGS BANKS' INVESTMENTS—POWERS AND RESTRIC
TIONS - N o changes in the law s relating to investm ents were m ade by
the New Jersey Legislature in 1894 ; n or were any m ade in 1895 when
this form w ent to press. I f any are m ade before our last form goes to
press they w ill be found on the page o f this Supplem ent im m ediately
preceding the index. The last general savings bank law o f N ew Jersey
was passed in 1876. In good part that law is still in force, but the m ore
im portant sections w ith reference to investm ents, especially sections
26 and 29 o f the general law , have been superseded b y later statutes.
Indeed, for som e tim e the legislative tendency in the m atter of in v e st
ments has been in the direction o f allow in g the m anagem ent o f these
institutions a w ider choice and a larger discretion. Section 26 of the
1876 law restricted the investm ents w ithin narrow limits. In 1878
those lim its were widened som ewhat b y an entirely new act o f tw o sec
tions, the first taking the p lace o f section 26 o f the act of 1876. In 1886
still another law was passed in place o f the first section o f the law o f
1878. F inally in 1889 an act was passed w hich m aterially broadened
the provisions o f section tw o o f the law o f 1878, which covered the
same subject matter contained in section 29 o f the original law o f 1876.
Consequently section 26 o f the law o f 1876 has now been superseded by
the law o f 1886, and section 29 has been superseded by the law o f 1889,
and hence the follow in g contains the leading provisions of the law as to
investm ents w hich is in fo rce in New Jersey to-day :
S e c t io n 1. That the first section o f the act of wT
hich this is a supple
m ent be and the same is hereby amended so as to read as fo llow s :
That it shall n ot be law ful, from and after the passage of this act, for
any savings bank or other savings institution, whether chartered or
incorporated under a general or special act o f the legislature of this
State, and any provision contained in the charter, or any supplem ent
thereto, o f such savings bank or savings institution to the contrary, to
invest the m oneys deposited w ith the same in any manner, except as
follow s, to w it :
L In the stocks or bonds or interest-bearing notes or obligations o f the
United States, or those fo r w hich the faith o f the United States is
d istin ctly pledged to p rovid e fo r the paym ent o f the principal and
interest thereof;
II. In the interest-bearing bonds o f this State;
IIL In the bonds o f any State in the U nion that has not, w ithin ten
year3 previous to m aking such investm ent by any such bank or institu
tion, defaulted in the paym ent o f any part o f either principal or interest
o f any debt authorized by any legislature o f such State to be contracted.
IV. In the stocks or bonds o f any city, tow n, cou n ty or village o f this
State, issued pursuant to the authority of any law o f this State, or of
the cities o f New York, B rook lyn and Philadelphia, or in any interestbearing obligations (other than those com m only kn ow n as im prove
ment certificates) issued by the city, tow n or borough in w hich such
bank or institution shall be situated ; (See below f o r provision including
the bonds o f certain cities and counties of any State in the United
States).
V. In bonds secured by m ortgages w hich shall be a first lien on real
estate situate in this State, and w orth at least double the am ount
loaned thereon, but not to exceed eighty per centum o f the w hole depos
its shall be so loaned or in v ested ; but in case the loan is on unim proved
o r unproductive real estate, the am ount loaned thereon shall not be
m ore than th irty per centum q f fie actual valu e; and no investm ent in
any bond and m ortgage shall be made by any savings bank, except upon
the report o f a com m ittee o f at least three of the managers, directors
o r trustees o f any such bank or institution, and a m ajority o f which
com m ittee shall certify to the value o f the premises m ortgaged, or to
be m ortgaged, accord in g to their best ju d g m en t; such report shall be
filed and preserved am ong the records o f the institution ;
VI. In real estate strictly in ae cordan ce w ith the follow in g p r o
visions.
We do not reprint the real estate provisions, as they cov er a matter
not germ ane to our present subject. It is sufficient to say that they are
tw o in number, being marked ( a ) and ( b ) , and m ay bo sum m arized as
b e lo w :
( a ) authorizes the holding of a plot for erection of a banking build
ing or buildings, portion* or which may be rented, but the cost of lot
and buildings must not exceed 50 per cent of the net surplus of the cor
poration;
(b) all purchases under foreclosure sales upon mortgages owned by
the corporation or sales under judgments or decrees obtained for debts
due, etc.; and all such real estate must be sold within five years unless,
on application to the rttate Board having supervision of Havings Banks,
time shall he extended.
But the character of the investments i n c e r t a i n c i t i e s a n d c o u n t i e s is
further greatly broadened by the law of 1886, which being passed in
1886 was of course a statute of the .State when the above act of 1889
was passed, and extends the scope of the 1889 law. The law of 1886 Is
as follows:
H
ectic * 1. That It shall be lawful for any savings bank or savings in
ftitu tlon . incorporated under any law or till Btat4. to but < 1 moneys
deposited with It in tin bonds of any city or county of any State of the
*,
Uni tea .States of America, which have been or may ho IssiiimI pursuant
to the authority of any law of any such Htato; p r o v i d e d , no such city or
comity has, within ten years previous to making such Investment by
any such savings bank or savings institution of this Htatc, defaulted in
the paym ent or any part of either principal n r Interest of any debt
authorized by law or such Htatc to be contracted ; and p rovid ed , f u r
(her, that the total Indebtedness of any such city or county Is limited
by law to ten percentum of if* assessed valuation*
By another act the banks also have the right to invest i n r a i l r o a d
bonds under certain restrictions. The authorization was given by
flection 2 of an act approved February 22, 1888. flubsctqiienlly (April
27, 1888,) tills flection 2 was repealed. On March 27, 1889, however,
It was again re enacted. The section is as follows :
SlCTloji 2. That It shall be lawful for any savings bank In tills Htato
to invest Its funds in first mortgage bonds of any railroad company
Which has paid dividends of not less than four per centum per annuin
regularly, on their entire capital stock, for a period of not less than
five years next previous to the purchase of sticfi bonds, or In any con
solidated mortgage bonds of any such company authorized to lie Issued
to retire the entire bonded debt of such company.
The other law referred to above amending section 2 of the law of
1 8 t 8 is a* below. It relates to l o a n s o n c o l l a t e r a l s ;
59
J
S e c t i o n 2. That hereafter it shall n ot be law fu l fo r any saving insti
tution in this State to loan the m oney on deposit with the same, or any
part thereof, upon notes, bills o f exchange or drafts, exceptin g upon
the additional pledge of collateral security or securities, w h ich 'colla t
eral security or securities shall be of the same nature and character as
those in which the m oney deposited m ay be invested, as directed in the
first section o f this act, or the capital stocks o f national and State banks,
or other corporations o f this State, w hich nave not defaulted in the
paym ent o f interest dividends within tw o years n ext preceding the
time o f such loan, and then only to the extent o f eighty per centum of
the m arket value o f such co lla tera ls; provided, that the total amount
o f such loans shall n ot exceed fifteen per centum o f the total deposits
held by such institution.
In addition to the foregoin g (according to section 27 o f the general
law of 1876) the m anagers can keep on hand or on deposit in any hank
in the State, or in any tr u s to r safe deposit com pany in New Jersey,
New Y
rork or Pennsylvania, an available fund o f not exceedin g ten per
cent o f the w hole am ount o f deposits with such corporation, or loan
the same on pledge o f the securities nam ed in the first section cited
above. A lso (according to section 28 o f the general law o f 1876) they
can deposit tem porarily in banks the excess o f current daily
receipts over paym ents until such tim e as they m ay be ju d iciou sly
invested.
It w ill be n oticed that the foregoin g provision s leave the N ew Jersey
law very broad and liberal. N ot on ly can savings bank deposits be
invested in bonds o f the U nited States, in bonds o f the different States
which have n ot defaulted within 10 years, and in bonds o f the cities o f
New Jersey, hut (1) they can he invested in bonds o f every city o f the
United States exceptin g such as have defaulted, w here the debt lim
itation is 10 per cent o f valuation; (2) and 15 per cent o f the deposits can
be loaned on all these securities up to 80 per cen t o f their marke
value, and (3) current receipts over paym ents can be k ept on deposit
at interest in any bank w hile w aitin g fo r a good investm ent, and (4)
investm ents m ay also be m ade in railroad b onds under the restrictions
contained in the section above quoted.

from the very first, and against a population o f 434,373 in 1790 and
-602,365 in 1800, in 1890 had a total o f 5,258,014. It is a rem arkable
fact, too, that the State has ranked second in population in all the Ccn
Buses excep t those of 1810 and 1820. In 1790 and 1800 it was out
ranked on ly by V ir g in ia ; in 1810 and 1820 it was outranked b y both
Virginia and New Y ork; in 1830 and every decade since then it has
'been excelled on ly by New York.

SAVINGS BANKS INVESTM ENTS-POW ERS AND RESTRIC
TIONS.—Philadelphia is, we believe, entitled to the distinction
•of starting the first savings institution in the United States. The
nam e this association bore w as the “ Philadelphia Savings Fund
Society,” and it still exists, bearing the same name. Originally the
bank was n ot incorporated, but was a voluntary organization, such
societies in Great Britain being at that time o f a like character. The
date of the organization was N ovem ber 27, 1816, and the bank was
•opened for business Decem ber 2, 1816. Mr. H utchinson, w ho, now
holds the office o f President,states that, the oldest ledger o f the com pany
g o e s back to the time o f opening, and shows a deposit on that day
Vol. L X
(December 2, 1816) o f five dollars. The com pany was not in cor
porated until F ebruary 25, 1819.
It is surprising that Pennsylvania, although engaged in such an early
venture in the departm ent o f savings institutions, should have made
so little progress in the same departm ent since. Indeed, the second
organization does n ot bear date until 1847, and w e think there had
only been 10 m utual savings institutions organized in the w hole State
from 1816 dow n to the early part o f 1890. We m ay assume, how ever,
that this slow developm ent was in no measure due to a lack o f desire
for savings banks on the part o f the people o f that com m on
wealth.
That such institutions were sought and needed is
sufficiently evident from the fact that nine o f the ten com panies r e
ferred to above reported in 1890 that they held $63,957,341 of
deposits. In 1889 a general law, facilitating the incorporation o f sav
ings banks, was passed by the Legislature. Since then there has been
a small addition to the num ber o f institutions, the total doing business
in the State on Nov. 30, 1894, being 16, with deposits aggregating
$68,522,217.
The provisions o f the special charters are all liberal as to in v e st
ments. A law passed in 1885, and a supplem ent o f the same passed
in 1889, authorizing the extension fo r tw enty years o f special char
ters, contains the follow ing.
“ Provided also, that no * * * Savings Institution or Savings
Bank having no capital stock, renew ing or exten din g its charter,
corporate rights and franchises, under the’ provision * o f this act, shall
thereafter be allow ed the privileges o f a bank o f discount, nor be
allow ed to loan any m on ey received on deposit, e x c e p t first m ortgage
or lien upon real estate within this com m onw ealth, upon the bonds or
securities o f the U nited States or o f this State, or upon county, city,
borough, tow nship or school bonds o f anv county, city, borough, tow n
ship or school district w ithin this com m onw ealth, or any other good
and valid securities.”
A u thority to loan on any “ g ood and valid security ” appears to c o n
fer about as broad a discretion u pon the m anagers as could be
expressed in a statute.
It was n ot until 1889, as already stated, that a general law fa cili
tating the organization o f savings institutions was passed.
T in t
law o f 1889 is indeed w ell adapted n ot on ly fo r facilitating, but for
stim ulating, the growth o f the system.
Its influence in the latter
direction w ou ld seem to be assured under the liberality of the
pro visions,respecting investments. The follow in g is section 17, which
contains the investm ent lim itation s; w e w ould especially direct
attention to subdivision fou r o f this section:
S e c t i o n 17.—It shall be law fu l for the trustees o f any savings bank
to invest m oney deposited therein on ly as follow s:
(1.) In the stocks or bonds or interest-bearing notes or the ob liga
tions o f the U nited States, or those for which the faith of the United
States is pledged to p rovid e for the paym ent o f the interest and the
principal.
(2) In the stocks or bonds o f the Com m onwealth o f Pennsylvania
bearing interest.
(3) In the stocks or bonds o f any State in the U nion that has n ot
within ten years previous to m aking such investm ents, by such corp o
ration, defaulted in the paym ent o f any part o f either principal or in
terest o f any debt authorized by any Legislature o f such State to be
contracted.
(4) In the stocks or bonds o f any city, county, tow n or village of
any State o f the U nited States, issued pursuant to the authority o f any
law o f the State, or in any interest-bearing obligation issued by the
city or cou n ty in w hich such bank shall be situated.
(5) In bonds and m ortgages on unincum bered, im proved real estate,
situated in this State.
It w ill be n oted that according to the foregoin g (sub-division
four), Pennsylvania Savings Banks are allow ed to in vest their
deposits in the bonds and stocks o f any city, cou n ty tow n or village in
any o f the United States. Furtherm ore, b y the fifth subdivision bonds
and m ortgages are left to the discretion o f the trustees in all purchases,
except that they m ust be first m ortgages on im proved real estate in
Pennsylvania. The n ext section (18) relates to the tem porary deposit
o f funds in banks and trust com panies. The form o f the section is
almost precisely the same as the sim ilar section in the New Y ork
statute, and it is consequently unnecessary to cite it in full here.

DEBT LIMITATION —
Ohio has very carefully guarded the debtmaking powrr of the .State. This could not lie said while the Constltu
tlon 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 tho
capital stock of corporations created for that purpose, or to authorize
& c ............................. PageslOO to 103
in other ways the creation of debt in unlimited amounts. But since the
adoption of the Constitution of 1851 the whole situation in these par
ticulars has changed, the legislative power with respect to the State
having been limited. The same is in large measure true also of the
municipalities.
FIRST , As to the State’s pow er to contract debt, this is regulated under
the first five sections of article 8 of the Constitution. Section 1 limits the
power 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 excep
tion to the foregoing; it grants the power to contract debt in case of in vasion, of insurrection, of war or of the redemption of the then existing
indebtedness. Section 3 reaffirms the lirp.it, except as above specified
Section 4 forbids the loaning of the State credit. Seotion 5 further for
bids the assumption of debts by States. We insert these five sections in
full.
S e c t i o n 1. [Debt lim ited to seven hundred and 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
different periods of time, shall never exceed seven hundred and fifty
thousand dollars; and the money arising from tho creation of such
dehts 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 purpose.] 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 bo 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 indebt
edness of the State shall lie so contracted as to bo payable by the
sinking fund hereinafter provided for as the same shall accumulate
Section 3. [The State to create no other debt.] Except the debts above
specified in Sections 1 and 2 of this article, no debt whatever shall here
after be created by or on behalf of tho State.
Section 1. [Credit o f State; theState shall not become jo in t ow ner 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 what
ever; nor shall tin-. State ever hereafter become a Joint owner or stock
holder in any company or association in tills State or olsewhero formed
for any purpose whatever.
Section 5. [No assum ption o f d e b t s tty t h e State.] Tho State shal 1
never assume the dehts 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 tho limitation as to State dobt and cre
dit. Sections 7, 8 , 9, 1 0 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, Towns, Counties, tic., so far as the Constitution
affects the power of the Legislature to authorize these munlclpallties to create dobt, the limitations are found In section 6 of article
8 and In sections i, 2 and 6 of
article 13. (1) Section 6 of
article 8 forbids the General Assembly to authorize cities,
to become stockholders in or to raise money or loan
erodtt to aid corporations, Ac. (2) Sections l and 2 of article 13 forbid
the passing of special art* and requlre general act* for conferring oor*
pomte power*. (3) Section 6 of article 13 provides that the General
Assembly make provision for tin* organization of cities, An., by general
laws and re**! r)et their debt making power. These sect Ions are ns follows:
A ii rre 1.1. 8 , Section 6 . [Counties, cities, towns or townships not author
irrd to heroine stockholders, «/V. ] The General Assembly shall H V
O et*
authorize any enmity, city, town or township, by vote of Its citizen* or
otherwise, to become a stockholder In any Joint stock company, corpora
tlon or association whatever; or to raise money for, or loan It s credit
to. or In aid of, any such company, corporation or association.
A rticle 13, Section I. [ C o r p o r a t e p o w r r t i ] , The General Assembly
shall pass no sjieclal act conferr ing corporate powers.
Section 2. |Corporations h o w formed\. ( lorporations may be formed
under general laws; but. all such laws may from time to time bo altered
or repealed.

Section 6. [ Organization of cities, < ] The General Assembly shall
£c.
provide for the organization "of cities and incorporated villages by gene
ral 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 companies. That, however,
i s 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 Ohio entitled “ An Act relating to cities of the first class,’ ’
authorizing any such city to construct a line of railroad therefrom to
any other terminus in that State or in any other State. In
pursuance of the authority that act purports to give, Cincinnati
undertook to build the Cincinnati Southern Railroad. To test the legal
ity of that proceeding this action was brought. The Court’s opinion is
very full and explicit, the conclusion being that from “ the language
“ of the section it is quite evident that it was not intended to prohibit
“ the construction o f railroads nor indeed to prohibit any species O
j
“ public improvements. The section contains no direct reference to
“ railroads nor to any other special classes of improvements or enter'
“ prises. The inhibitions are directed only against a particular manner
“ or means by which under the Constitution of 1802 many public im"
‘ provements had been accomplished.”
In compliance with section 6, article 13 (cited above), which provides
for the organization of cities etc. by general law, the Legislature has
made an elaborate classification of municipal corporations. First they
are divided into cities, villages and hamlets. Then cities are divided
into two classes, the first class being subdivided into three grades and
the second class being subdivided into four grades, the grade being
determined by population according to the last Federal Census.
Cities in the F ir s t C lass — First grade includes all cities of more than
200.000 inhabitants; second grade all less than 200,000 and more than
90.000 inhabitants; third grade all less than 90,000 and more than 31,5 00 inhabitants.
INTEREST is payable at the office of the City Treasurer in Akron
and at the National Park Bank in New York,

and more than 20,000 inhabitants; third grade all less than
and more than 10,000 inhabitants; fourth grade all less than
and more than 5,000 inhabitants.
V il l a g e s — Of the first class include all having less than 5,000 and
more than 3,000 inhabitants; the second class includes all having less
than 3,000 and more than 200 inhabitants.
H a m l e t s — According to section 1 5 50 of the Revised Statutes all e x '
isting corporations organized as “ incorporated villages for special
“ purposes shall be hamlets until advanced to villages.”
It is impossible to make any satisfactory generalization with regard
to the bonding power the Legislature has granted these municipalities.
There are a few sections of the Revised Statutes authorizing bond
issues which have a universal application, such as the provision
granting power to issue bonds in anticipation of special assessments
but most of the laws for that purpose cover only one class of cities, and
many of them are so worded as to apply only to one city, and granting
an issue of bonds for a specific purpose. No general laws limiting the
powers of municipalities to incur indebtedness have been passed, al though section 6, article 13, appears to require it. And yet is it not a
question whether that section calls for any legislation of a general
nature except a general law “ for the organisation of cities, &c.” ?
POPULATION OF STATE,—Oliio may be called the pioneer State
of the West, having been the first Western State to be admitted to the
Union. This event happened at the beginning of the century—in 1802—
and the State’s growth in population since then has been marvelous.
In 1800 (the first census which gave a record of her population) the
number of persons within the State was reported as only 45,365. At
that time she stood nearly at the foot of the list of States and Territor
ies, ranking 18. In 1830, however, she had already approaohed the
million mark, having 937,903 persons. In 1860 we find she had got
above 2kj million, and for 1890 her population is reported as 3,672,316.
At this figure she is surpassed by only one Western State, namely Illi
nois, and two Eastern States, New York and Pennsylvania; in other
words, she ranks fourth in population now.
1890............. 3,672,316 1860............. 2,339,511 1830.............937,903

The addition iu 1860-70 was 325,749, or 13-92 per cent; in 1870-80
532,802, or 19-99 per cent; in 1880-90, 474,254, or 14-83 per cent.

DEBT LIM ITATION.—In the present Constitution of Indiana, which
went into effect November 1, 1851, superseding the Constitution adopted
in 1816, there are explicit provisions limiting the power of both the
State and its municipalities to contract debt.
FIRST, as to the Slate, Section 5 of article 10 provides that no debt
except to meet casual deficits in revenue, to pay interest, to repel invasion Ac. can be contracted. The section in full is subjoined.
C r e a t io n o f D e b t F o r b i d d e n .—No law shall authorize any debt to be
contracted on behalf of the State except in the following ca ses: To
meet casual deficits in the revenue; to pay interest on the State d e b t;
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, city, town or township, nor of any corporation
whatever.
SECOND, as to municipalities, 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.
L i m i t e d — E x c e s s V o i d .— N o political or municipal corporation
in this State shall ever become indebted in any manner or for any pur
pose to an amount in the aggregate exceeding two per centum oil the
valuation of the taxable property within such corporation, to be ascer
tained 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 v o id ; Pro
vided, 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 pro
tection and defense to such an' amount as may be requested in such
petition.
THIRD, counties (but 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 incor
porated company, nor borrow money for the purpose 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 author
ize cities to subscribe to the stock of railroads, as it did by a general
law passed in 1867 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 which authorizes counties bordering on
the State line to subscribe for railroad stock and to issue bonds for the
purpose of paying the subscription. In view of the above section
this grant of power extended to counties would seem to be at least
questionable.
COUNTIES are apparently restricted by statute to a lower than the
Constitutional limit of 2 per cent in the matter of creating debt. For
instance, Section 5,749 of the Revised Statutes 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 exceed
ing 1 per cent on assessed valuation and issue bonds therefore,
Sinking fu n d for payment of bonds must be provided by levying a tax
of not less than one-tentli of one per cent on the taxable property of the
county in addition to a specific levy to provide for interest. (See Re
vised Statutes. Section 5,753).
Limit o f one per cent may be exceeded in counties where construction
of court house was begun before January, 1885, and where the ordinary
revenues, together with 1 per cent of the taxable property, are not suffi
cient for completion—in such cases, and where the exigencies absolutely
demand it, bonds not to exceed 1 per cent of valuation in addition to
previous debt may be issued.
INDIANA—01TIES £N1> TOWfl;
April, 1895.
Limit o f one per cent cannot be exceeded except fo r temporary loans in
any county having a voting population of twenty thousand; temporary
loans are authorized in anticipation of revenue for;current fiscal year,
payable out of such revenue within such fiscal year, and not for exceed
ing two-thirds of the tax duplicate of the preceding year; but no such
temporary loans are permissible until all temporary loans upon the
revenue of any preceding year have been paid. Any ordinance, order,
resolution, obligation, contract, note or other evidence of indebtedness
to increase the debt of such county shall be absolutely null and void.—
<See Revised Statutes, Section 5,818.
In addition to the foregoing, general statutes have been passed by the
Legislature granting general powers to cities and towns of fifteen
thousand inhabitants or over 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 specific purposes, such as water works, &c.
POPU LATION OF S T A T E .—While duringthe last decade or two
Indiana has not been gaining in population as fast as some of her
neighbors, she takes high rank among the States with large aggregates,
and the progress she has made in increasing her numbers since the be
ginning of the century is really very noteworthy. The first Census
enumeration of her population was in 1800 and disclosed 2,517 persons
within the limits of the State as it now exists, though there were 2,358
persons more on territory subsequently made part of Illinois. Even
in 1810 the number was but 24,520 ; thenceforward the increase was
rapid, and in 1860 the Census showed a total of 1,350,428 inhabitantsFor 1890 the aggregate is 2,192,404. It is worth noting that aside from
y e w York, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Ohio there are only five other
States, including Indiana, whose population exceeds two million, and
one of these (Michigan) has a smaller total than Indiana.
1890..............2,192,404 1860............. 1,350,428 1830................ 343,031

1870..............1,680,637 1840............. 685,866 1810................ 24,520
Between 1860 and 1870 the increase was 330,209, or 24*45 per cent ;
between 1870 and 1880 297,664, or 17*71 per cent, and between 1880
and 1890 214,103, or 10*82 per cent.

ever make any appropriation, or pay from any 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 institution controlled by aiiy church or sectarian
denomination w hatever; nor shall any grant or donation of land, money
or other personal property ever be made by the State, or any such public
corporation, to any church or for any sectarian purpose.
A r t i c l e 9 , Section 12. No county, city, township, school district or
other municipal corporation shall be allowed to become indebted in any
manner or for any purpose, to an amount, including existing indebted
ness, in the aggregate exceeding live per centum on the value of the
taxable property therein, to bo 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 incur
ring any indebtedness as aforesaid shall before, or at the time of doing
so, 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 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.
S e p a r a t e Sections. [Municipal subscriptions to railroads etc.] No
county, city, town, township 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 affect
ing 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—tha^
Is, it applies to all municipalities. With this limitation preserved the
Legislature has passed general laws authorizing the city council in
cities and the board of trustees in villages to issue bonds for corporate
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 sub
jecting 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. In
all these general laws, however, it is provided, according to Section 12,
Article 9, of the Constitution, that in no case must the aggregate in
debtedness exceed five per cent of the taxable property therein.
I m p r o v e m e n t B o n d s .—There is a kind of improvement bond author
ized in some cases which is made a special lien on the land benefitted
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 oft' into an improve
ment district for the purpose of draining, raising the grade of the streets
and improving the district; that after the cost for the work has been
ascertained and been assessed, the assessment may be paid in instal~
ments or otherwise and such city or village may issue bonds sufficient
to pay the assessment. In that case the bonds are a lien
on the lots, blocks or parts thereof which shall be designated
therein; but before the issue the owner of the lots, etc., to be
charged must endorse upon the back of such bond his consent’
under seal, in substance as follows : “ I hereby indorse the within bond
“ and consent that the lot or lots or parts thereof therein designated
“ shall become liable for the interest and principal therein namea and
“ the same shall be a lien upon said properlv from this date until paid
“ off 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 Revised Statutes of Illinois,
the 1889 edition, page 303. To understand the real cause and occasion
for all this machinery, one should study also the previous statute (page
299, &c.) which authorizes cities, &c., to protect themselves from over
flow and inundation and control private levees, &c. After having read
the two laws it will be found that the district improvement bond has
been devised as a relief measure, and that it affords a wise and ingenious
method for helping those in more moderate circumstances who have
been taxed for a very necessary improvement to pay the tax by instal
ments.
POPULATION OF STATE.—In Illinois the statistics of population
furnish a record of uninterrupted and most marvelous growth. At the
beginning of the century, according to the Census taken at that time,
there were only 2,458 persons all told in the territory now embraced
within the limits of the State; at the time of the first Census, in 1790,
there were none of course. In 1810 the number had not increased a
great deal, being only 12,282. By 1830 the aggregate had been raised
to 157,445, but even then the State ranked No. 20. Twenty years
after, in 1850, the population had risen to 851,470, and the State stood
No. 11. In the next ten years to 1860 the numbers more than doubled,
and at 1,711,951 the State outranked all others except New York,
Pennsylvania and O hio; by 1870 the total had been increased to 2,539,891, and by 1880 to over three millions, the State still holding fourth
position; in 1890, with a total of 3,826,351, even Ohio was passed, and
the State is now excelled only by New York and Pennsylvania.

Taking the last three decades, the increase of population between
1860 and 1870 was 827,940, or 48*36 per cent; between 1870 and 1880
537,980, or 21*18 per ce n t; and between 1880 and 1890 748,480, or
24*32 per cent.

H ISTO R Y OF DEBT.—The historical details of Michigan’s State
■debt will be found in the S t a t e a n d C i t y S u p p l e m e n t 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.” Since then
all of the funded debt has been paid, the last of it having been taken up
in 1890.
ASSESSED VALUATION.—Since 1856 the equalized valuation
has been determined only once in five years. The following shows the

DEBT LIM ITATIO N . —Michigan, as noted above in our History Of
the State Debt, started its career as a State in January 1837, when the
whole land was buoyant over its inflated enterprises carried 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 go to work at once and make provision for
** ascertaining the proper objects of improvement in relation to roads,
4‘ 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. Durng 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
w il illustrate this change in spirit and purpose more clearly than the
follow ing 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.
S e c t io n 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 pur
poses for which they were obtained or to the payment of the debts so
•contracted.
Vol. LX]
S e c t io n 4. The State may contract debts to repel invasion, suppress
insurrection or defend the State in time of war. The money arising
from the contracting of such debts shall be applied to the purpose for
which it was raised or to pay such debts.
S e c t i o n 6 . The credit of the State shall not be granted to or in aid of
any person, association or corporation.
S e c t i o n 7 . N o scrip, certificate, or other evidence of State indebted
ness shall be issued excej>t for the redemption of stock previously
issued or for such debts as are expressly authorized in this Constitution.
S e c t io n 8. The State shall not subscribe to, or be interested in the
stock of any company, association or corporation.
S e c t i o n 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 ex
cept 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
they afford!
Cities and villages, however, were left by the 1850 instrument to the
discretion of the Legislature in the matter of restrictions upon their bor
rowing power. The provision which relates to this subject is found in
Article 15, Section 13, and is as follows :
S e c t i o n 13.—The Legislature shall provide for the incorporation and
organization of cities and villages, and shall restrict their powers of
taxation, borrowing money, contracting debts and loaning their credit.
In the exercise of the power granted by this section the Legislature
has passed general laws governing the incorporation, taxation and
bonding of cities and villages. With regard to cities the chief provisions
with resident to taxation and bond issues will be found in the second
volume of the 1890 revision of Howell’s Annotated Statutes of Michi
gan, Chapter 22, on “ Finance and Taxation,” pages 629 to 702, Sections
2693 to 2730. The sections which mainly cover these points are the
following—we give the substance not the words of the section :—
T a x e s , And in what amount they can be laid, are defined in Section
2697 to Section 2701.
Section 2697 provides that the maximum amount which the council
may raise by general tax for all general purposes (except schools and
school house purposes and except as otherwise provided below) shall not
exceed in any one vear In cities having a population not over 6,000 ..........................l x per cent
4
In cities larger than 6,000 but not over 9,000.........................l 1 per cent
^
In cities larger than 9,000 but not over 14,000....................... 1% per cent
In cities having more population than 14,000........................ 2 per cent
S e c t io n 2698 provides that the council may also raise in each street
district not exceeding one fourth of one per cent.
S e c t io n 2699 provides that in addition to above the council may
raise by special assessment in sewer and in special assessment districts
for improving streets and constructing sewers (chargeable on lands in
district according to frontage or benefits) not exceeding in one year 5
per cent.
S e c t io n 2700 provides that a tax of not more than two dollars per
year may be levied upon each lot or premises drained by a private
sewer or drain leading into a public sewer or drain.
S e c t io n 2701 provides that the council may also raise such further
sum, not exceeding three mills on the dollar of assessed valuation, as
may be necessary to provide an interest and sinking fund to pay funded
debt.
L o a n s, When allowed and amount indicated.
S e c t io n 2,709. Provides that no public work shall be contracted or
commenced until a tax shall have been levied to pay cost.
S e c t io n 2,710. Instead of levying a tax for whole amount authorized
by this act in any year for the general and street district funds, the
council may raise part by tax and part by loan—the aggregate of both
not exceeding amount for which tax might have been levied in the year.
S e c t io n 2,711. Council also authorized to raise moneys by loan in
anticipation of receipts from special assessments.
S e c t io n 2,712. If any greater amount is required for erecting public
buildings, or for purchase of ground for same, or for other public im
provements or purposes than can be raised by the council
under the foregoing provisions, such amount may be raised by
tax or loan or partly by tax and partly by loan i f authorized by a maiority vote o f the electors voting upon the question at an annual city
election. The amount that may be so raised in any year shall not ex
ceed two per cent of assessed valuation.
S e c t io n 2,713. The proposition to raise such additional amount mustbe
submitted by an ordinance distinctly stating the purpose of proposed
expenditure, the amount proposed, and whether to be raised by tax or
loan. Such ordinance shall be passed, published in one newspaper
of city, and copies posted in five most public places in each ward
of city, at least two weeks before the election—vote shall be by ballot.
S e c t io n 2,717. No loans made exceeding amounts prescribed in this
act. For loans lawfully made bonds of the city may be issued bearing
a legal rate of interest. Record to be kept by city clerk. When deemed
necessary by council nevTbonds may be issued in place of former bonds
falling due. Each bond shall show upon its face the class of indebted
ness to which it belongs and from what fund payable.
The foregoing provisions apply to cities. The law relating to villages
with reference to the same subject is so nearly of a like character as not
to need reciting.
POPULATION OF S T A T E .—In the growth of her population
Michigan reflects characteristic Western progress. The first record we
have is found in the Census of 1800, according to which there were
then 551 persons within the present boundary limits of the State. In
the year 1805 the Territorial organization was formed, the old Indiana
Territory being divided into two parts, one of these constituting the
Territory of Michigan. Numbers did not increase very fast as y et,
the Census of 1810 showing a population of only 4,762 and that of
1820 8,765, while even in 1830 the aggregate was no more than
31,639, these figures including the inhabitants of certain counties now
forming part of Wisconsin. Thenceforward, however, the advance
was rapid; in 1837 admission as a State was granted, and in 1840 the
population stood at 212,267. In the interval since then tbe total has
risen to ten times that figure, and according to the 1890 Census there
were only eight other States that could claim a larger aggregate. The
State census of 1894 shows a total population of 2,241,000.

HISTORY OF D E B T.—No State has a more conservative financial
history than Wisconsin. When it became a State there was a little
Territorial debt (canal bonds) outstanding. In Governor Dewey’ s mesage of 1851 we find this item among the estimated expenditures for
that year—
Territorial indebtedness, including ten canal bonds of $1,000
each, due in June, 1851, and interest..................................... $12,892*75
With the payment of those bonds the State was left absolutely with
out debt. The State’s policy too, never to have a debt, had been
expressed and fixed by the Constitution adopted in 1848, which forbade
the loaning of the State credit or the contracting of a State debt other
than for the purpose of paying current expenses of the Government^
and then not to exceed in amount $100,000; furthermore, the Consti
tution provided even in that case that a tax should immmediately be
levied to pay the debt. There was, however, a single exception to the
$100,000 limitation, and that was in case of invasion or to suppress
rebellion. Our Civil War made it necessary to use the authority this
last clause granted, and war loans were put out from 1861 to 1865,
both years inclusive, amounting in all to $2,727,500. Since 1865 a
portion of these bonds has been converted into certificates of indebt
edness and put into State Trust funds, and the balance has been paid*
The State has no indebtedness except to the trust funds, as follows :

DEBT LIMITATION .—The constitutional provisions of Wisconsin
restricting debt-making 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
first which relate to the State and after that those which have reference
to cities, <fcc.

extreme their ingenuity for forms in which to express their determina
tion 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.
S e c t i o n 3 . Credit o f State, fo r what not given. The credit of the
State shall never be given or loaned in aid of any individual, associ
ation or corporation.
S e c t i o n 4 . Contracting debts.
The State shall never contract any
public debt, except in the cases and manner herein provided.
S e c t i o n 6 . Limitation on public debt. For the purpose of defraying
extraordinary expenditures, the State may contract public debts (but
such debts shall never in the aggregate exceed one hundred thousand
dollars). Every such debt shalTbe authorized by law, for some purpose
or purposes to be distinctly specified therein; and the vote of a majority
of all the members elected to each House, to be taken by yeas and nays,
shall be necessary to the passage of such la w ; and every such law shall
provide for levying an annual tax sufficient 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 appropriation
shall not be repealed, nor the taxes be postponed, or diminished, until
the principal and interest of such debt shall have been wholly paid.
S e c t i o n 7. State may borrow money, when. The Legislature may also
borrow money to repel invasion, suppress insurrection or defend the
State in time of w a r; but the money thus raised shall be applied exclus
ively to the object for which the loan was authorized, or to the repay
ment of the debt thereby created.
S e c t i o n 9. Evidences o f 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.
S e c t i o n 10. Internal improvements—avails o f 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.
(2) CITIES, counties, towns, villages, dc.f were unrestricted except by
legislative enactment until 1874. Sinoe that amendment was adopted
five p er 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 will 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 sufficient to pay the principal
within twenty years from the time of contracting the debt. We give
below the amendment referred to in full.
Limitation o f Municipal Indebtedness — Adding to Section 3, Article
11, the w ords:
No county, city, town, village, school district, or other municipal co r
poration, 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 pre
vious 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 pro
vide 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
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
ssuance of bonds to cities operating under special charters granted by
the State, and containing a population of three thousand or more in
habitants, as follows. This authority is o f course subject to the fo re
going provisions o f the Constitution

D E BT LIMIT AT ION.— Minnesota has protected the State from ex
travagant expenditures through restrictions which its Constitution puts
on every kind of debt making. That instrument fixes the limit at $250,000 “ for the purpose of defraying extraordinary expenditures;” and an
amendment, ratified in 1879, extended this power to $250,000 addi
tional “ 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, &c. With regard
to the debt of municipalities there is but one section in the Constitu
tion which relates to that subject, and that has reference to making
railroad debt.
FIRST, as to State indebtedness, the sections which treat of the subect are in article 9, sections 5, 6. 7, 8 and 14.
S e c t i o n 5. (Public debt may be contracted.)
For the purpose of de
fraying extraordinary expenditures, the State may contract public
debts, but such debts shall never, in the aggregate, exceed two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars; every such debt shall be authorized by law
for some single object, to be distinctly specified therein; and no such
law shall take effect until it shall have been passed by the vote of twothirds of the members of each branch of the Legislature, to be recorded
by the yeas and nays on the journals of each House, respectively; and
every such law shall levy a tax, annually, sufficient to pay the annual
interest of such debt, and also a tax sufficient to pay the principal of
such debt within ten years from the final passage of such law, and shall
specially appropriate the proceeds of such taxes to the payment of such
principal and interest; and such appropriation and taxes shall not be
repealed, postponed, or diminished, until the principal and interest of
such debt shall have been wholly paid. The State shall never contract
any debts 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
specific purposes; and in such cases the State shall devote thereto the
avails of such grants, and may pledge or appropriate the revenues de
rived from such works in aid of their completion.
S e c t i o n 6.—(Public debt hoiv contracted.) All debts authorized by the
preceding section shall be contracted by loan on State bonds of amounts
not less than five 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 shall be kept by the Treasurer in numerical order, so as al
ways to exhibit the number and amount unpaid and to whom severally
made payable.
S e c t i o n 7.—The State shall never contract any public debt, unless in
time of war, to repel invasion or suppress insurrection, except in the
eases and in the manner j>rovided in the fifth and sixth sections of this
article.
S ection 8 .—(Appropriation o f money received from loan or State
bonds.) The money arising froni any loan made, or debt or liability con
tracted, 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.
S e c t i o n 14.—(State debt fo r public buildings). For the purpose of
erecting and completing buildings for a hospital for the insane, a deaf,
dumb and blind asylum, and State prison, the Legislature may by law
increase the public debt of the State to an amount not exceeding two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars, in addition to the public debt al
ready heretofore authorized 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.
Vol. L X .
SECOND, as to city, county at' other municipality the only restriction
on the debt making power in the Constitution is the following, found in
article 9, section 15.
S e c t i o n 14.—(Municipal debts in aid o f railroads.)
The Legisla
ture shall not authorize any county, township, 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 centum 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 railroads to ten p er 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 pro
visions governing bond issues.
First, respecting cities, there is the general power granted the
common council of any city to borrow money to pay any city indebted
ness, and to issue therefor city bonds bearing interest not to exceed 10
per cent and redeemable within ten years. The restrictions are: (1)
That ordinances must be passed by the affirmative vote of a majority of
the common council, signed by the Mayor, and published in the official
city newspapers and recorded after proof of publication. (2) At no time
can such indebtedness, bonded or otherwise, exceed $15,000, unless the
same be authorized by a two-thirds vote at the election held for such pur
poses. (3) The council shall each and every year levy a tax of one mill
on the dollar for each one thousand dollars of bonds issued by the sa’ d
city to pay the interest and to create a sinking fund to pay the bonds at
maturity. The foregoing is found in chapter 10, section 168, of the
General Statutes of Minnesota, vol. I., page 196, edition of 1888.
Second, and f urther as to cities, the common council is authorized to
issue bonds and levy taxes exceeding the amount authorized by other
sections of this act; provided the same be authorized by the majority
of voters present and voting at an election to be held for that purpose.
The time, place and manner of holding such election to be prescribed by
the common council, the same notice to be given as at other elections.
And no bonds fo r any purpose shall be issued unless so authorized.
The foregoing is the latter half of section 171, chapter 10, Statutes of
Minnesota, vol. 1, page 197. The last sentence which we have italicised
would, on its face, appear to take away the right of the common council
to issue even $15,000 of bonds (without an election) as authorized by
previous section 168 cited above. This idea also seems to find confir
mation in section 170, last clause, which reads that “ no debt shall be
“ incurred or created by the city, the common council or any officer of
“ the city except pursuant to the authority herein expressly given for
“ that purpose.”
Third, through the board o f supemisors, towns can issue bonds as
directed by two-thirds of all legal voters voting at a legally-called town
meeting held for that p urpose, payable in such amounts and at such
times, not exceeding six years from date as two-thirds of voters deter
mine. For further particulars respecting these issues, see section 114,
chapter 10, Statutes of Minnesota, volume 1, page 182. A following
section (section 116) makes it the duty o f the supervisors on or before
the first of September next after the date of said bonds, and each and
every year thereafter until the payment of said bonds, to levy a tax
‘ equal to the amount of principal and interest maturing the year next
after such levy,” and in the discretion of said supervisors such further
sum as they deem expedient, not exceeding twenty per cent of such
maturing bonds, which taxes shall constitute a fund for the payment
of said bonds.
Fourth, The trustees or board of education of any school district
may issue school bonds of their respective districts in such amount and
of such length as to payment, not exceeding ten years, as two-thirds of
the voters voting at any legally-called meeting shall direct. For further
particulars respecting these bonds see section 26, chapter 36, of the
Statutes of Minnesota, volume 1, page 472. In section 28, same page,
are provisions for levying a tax for the payment of bonds quite similar to
the provisions with reference to the payment of town bonds cited above.
Fifth, with respect to all school bonds, see section 5, article VIII.,
of the Constitution o f Minnesota, which authorizes the loaning of the
Permanent School Funds upon interest at the rate of 5 per cent to the
several counties and school districts, to be used in the erection of
county or school buildings.
Sixth, as to the creating o f county debt, there is no general author
ization, the issues when made being under special acts. Of course
«*railroad aid bonds” are provided for by statute for county, cities
and all other municipalities. See, for the law on that subject, section
92, &c., chapter 34, Statutes of Minnesota, vol. I., page 388, &c. So,
also, the borrowing from the Permanent School Funds under the above
cited section of the Constitution (section 5, article VIII.) is provided
for by section 84, chapter 36, Statutes of Minnesota, vol. II., page 448.
There is likewise a general statute for the issue of “ motor road bonds”
by the county, the particulars respecting which will be found in section
132, chapter 13, of Statutes of Minnesota, vol. I., page 277.
General statutory limitation, applying to all municipalities. Debts
of cities, counties, towns, &c., are void if entailing taxation beyond
the rate fixed by law. See section 114, chapter 11, Statutes of Minne
sota, vol. I., page 243. Of course this section does not apply where the
law authorizes increased taxation, as, for instance, when a majority of
the legal voters so direct; such authorization and action bring the case
under the exception contained in the section, which is that the act is
unlawful “ unless specially and expressly authorized by law.”
A NEW BILL.—A synopsis of the new bill which was agreed upon
at a meeting of the corporation attorneys of Minnesota cities and pre
sented to the Legislature last year is given below :
April, 1895.
109
M in n e s o t a — c it ie s m i d t o w n s .
Section 1 grants to all cities that may be hereafter organized within
the State of Minnesota the right and power to issue permanent im
provement fund bonds, bridge and tunnel bonds, water and light bonds,
and general fund bonds, and specifies the purposes for which such
bonds may be issued. Section 2 provides that no city in this State shall
a t any time be authorized to issue bonds for any purpose in excess of 5
per cent of the assessed valuation of the taxable property of such city
according to the last preceding assessment. Provided, that when
bonds are issued for the purchase, refunding or payment of other
honds of such city, these bonds shall not be considered a part of the
bonds on which any city may be liable for the purpose of determining
whether the bonds "so issued will increase the bonded indebtedness of
any city above the limit prescribed by this act. Provided, that all
bonds issued by any city within this State for tunnelling any water,
shall not be considered as forming a part of the indebtedness of any
city within the 5 per cent limit. All sums of money realized from the
sale of city bonds shall be applied to the purpose" for which they are
issued and no other, and such purpose shall be distinctly stated in the
resolution or ordinance authorizing their issue. Common councils may
by a three-fourths vote authorize the issue of bonds within the 5 per
cent limit without submitting the matter to popular vote. Bonds
shall not be issued without a three-fourths vote of the council unless
the city at a general or special election casts a majority vote for the
issuance of such bonds. Section 3 provides that bonds on an additional
5 per cent of the valuation may be issued for the purposes before
stated, if a majority of the legal voters of the city vote in favor of
such issue. The manner of calling elections and voting on bonds is
specified in this section. Section 4 provides that all bonds authorized
by this act shall run not more than thirty years from the date of their
issuance, bearing interest at not more than 5 per cent per annum, prin
cipal and interest payable at such time and place as may be fixed by
the common council of any c it y ; they shall be sold at not less than
par value and accrued interest to the highest responsible bidder,
after notice published once in each week for three successive weeks
in a daily paper, if one there b e ; if not, then in a weekly paper in
the city where such bonds are to be advertised, and also in a daily
paper published in St. Paul.

COUNTY AND CITY INDEBTEDNESS.—“ As compared with,
other States, we have been remarkably fortunate in the financial man
agement of our cities and counties. Most counties are entirely free
from debt, and the number of cities and independent districts which are
taking up their bonds is constantly increasing. The people of our State
take a just pride in maintaining the highest standard of public and pri"
vate credit, and in carefully guarding the rights of property.” —Gov"
ernor’s message, Feb., 1890.
DEBT LIMITATION.—Iowa’s Constitution restricts the creating of
debt, both State debt and municipal debt.
FIRST, as to State debt, the limitation made is not absolute, for it per
mits 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 sufficient 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 gen.
eral election, and has received a majority of the votes cast. All the debt
provisions relating to the State we give below.
A r t i c l e 7, Section 1. [Limitation o f State indebtedness.} The credit
of the State shall not in any manner be given or loaned 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 individ
ual, association or corporation, unless incurred in time of war for the
benefit of the State.
S e c t io n 2. [Same.} The State may contract debts to supply casual
deficits or failures in revenues, or to meet expenses otherwise provided
for; hut the aggregate amount of such debts, direct and contingent,
whether contracted by virtue of one or more acts of the General Assem
bly, or at different 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 the purpose for which it was
obtained, or to repay the debts so contracted, and to no other purpose
whatever.
S e c t io n 4. [JY>r what other purposes State may contract debt.} In
addition to the above limited power to contract debts, the State may
contract debts to repel invasion, suppress insurrection, or defend the
State in war; but the money arising from the debts so contracted shall
be applied for the purpose for which it was raised, or to repay such
debts, and to no other purpose whatever.
S e c t io n 5. [Other debts to be authorised.}—Except the debts hereinbe
fore specified m 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 contracting thereof; but no such law shall take effect
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 he
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.
A r t ic l e 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 can he 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
oase, requires a tax to be levied at the time of its creation sufficient to
pay the interest annually and the principal when due.
SECOND, as to lmmicipal indebtedness, the limit is fixed absolutely
In the Constitution. The provisions covering the subject are as follows:
A r t ic l e VIII, Section 4. [Corporation not to be a stockholder.} No
political or municipal corporation shall become a stockholder in any
banking corporation, directly or indirectly.
A r t ic l e XI, Section 3. [To what amount county may become indebted.1
No county or other political or municipal corporation shall be allowed
to become indebted m any manner, or for any purpose, to an amount in
the aggregate exceeding five per centum on the value of the taxable
property within such county or corporation—to be ascertained by the
last State and county tax list previous to the incurring of such
ndebtedness.
The above (section 3 of article XI) oovers oitles, 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 corpora '
tlon and subject to the 5 per cent limit.
POPULATION OF STATE.—The way in which the population of
Iowa has grown during the last few decades evidences the wonderful
advance of the State in material wealth and prosperity. It was in 1838
that the political basis for the existing State was laid, the territory of
Wisconsin, created only two years before, being then divided, and that
part of the territory lying west of the Mississippi River being organized
as a separate territory under the name of Iowa. In 1840 the Census
IOWA— CITIE8 AN® TOWTJS,
April, 1895.
then taken showed a population of 43,112. By the close of the
next decade numbers had risen to 192,214, the people having in the
meantime (in 1846) been endowed with full privileges of Statehood.
The growth thus far, however, was small compared with what was to
•come, and in the decade between 1850 and 1860 there was an increase
from 192,214 to 674,913. In the next decade another half a million
was added, the 1870 Census reporting a total of 1,194,020. In the suc
ceeding twenty years about three-quarters of a million more were
added, and the last Census showed an aggregate population not far
from two million. From standing twenty-ninth in population in 1840,
the State now occupies tenth position.

DEBT LIMITATION.—Missouri has made provision in its Consti
tution restricting the creation of debt both on behalf of the State and
of its municipalities.
FIRST, with respect to the State, the regulations are full and specific.
They are found in article 6, sections 44, 45 and 46, which we subjoin.
A r t i c l e 6, Section 44. ( General Assembly not to contract debts except
as herein.) The General Assembly shall have no po wer to contract or to
authorize the contracting of any debt or liability on behalf of the
State, or to issue bonds or other evidences of indebtedness thereof, ex
cept in the following cases:
First, In renewal of existing bonds, when they cannot be paid at
maturity out of the sinking fund or other resources.
Second, on the occurring of an unforeseen emergency, or casual defi
ciency of the revenue, when the temporary liability incurred, upon the
recommendation of the Governor first had', shall not exceed the sum of
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars for any one year, to be paid in
not more than two years from and after its creation.
Third, on the occurring of any unforeseen emergency, or casual defi
ciency of the revenue, when the temporary liability incurred or to be
incurred shall exceed the sum of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars
for any one year, the General Assembly may submit an act providing
for the loan, or for the contracting of the liability, and containing a pro
vision for levying a tax sufficient to pay the interest and principal when
they become due (the latter in not more than thirteen years from the
date of its creation), to the qualified voters of the State, and when the
act so submitted shall have been ratified by a two-thirds majority, at an
election held for that purpose, due publication having been made of the
provisions of the act for at least three months before such election, the
act thus ratified shall be irrepealable until the debt thereby incurred
shall be paid, principal and interest.
S e c t i o n 45. (State's credit not to be loaned.) The General Assembly
shall have no x>ower to give or to lend, or to authorize the giving or
lending of the credit of the State in aid of or to any person, asso
ciation or corporation, whether municipal or other,' or to pledge
the credit of the State in any manner whatsoever, for the pay
ment of the liabilities, present or prospective, of any individual,
Association of individuals, municipal or other corporation whatsoever.
S e c t i o n 46. (Public money, grant o f prohibited.) The General Assem
bly shall have no power to make any grant, or to authorize the making
of any grant of public money or thing of value to any individual, asso
ciation of individuals, municipal or other corporation whatsoever.
Provided, That this shall not be so construed as to prevent the grant of
aid in a case of public calamity.
The foregoing sections cover all phases of State indebtedness and so
restrict action as to put the State beyond the chance of future debt em
barrassment.
SECOND, with regard to cities and other municipalities, the provisions
are in like manner full and wisely constructed. There are three—section
47 in article 6, section 6 in article 9 and section 12 in article 10. We
give them complete below.
A r t i c l e 6, Section 47. (Municipalities, loaning credit of.) The Gen
eral Assembly shall have no power to authorize any county, city, town
or township, or other political corporation or sub-division of the State
n o w existing, or that may be hereafter established, to lend its credit, or
to grant public money or thing of value in aid of or to any individual,
association or corporation whatsoever, or to become a stockholder in
such corporation, association or company.
A r t i c l e 9, Section 6. (Municipalities not to subscribe to capital stock
o f corporations.) No county, township, city or other municipality shall
hereafter become a subscriber to the capital stock of any railroad or
other corporation or association, or make appropriation or donation, or
loan its credit to or in aid of any such corporation or association, or to or
in aid of any college or institution of learning or other institution,
whether created for or to be controlled by the State or others. All
authority heretofore conferred for any of the purposes aforesaid by the
General Assembly, or by the charter of any corporation, is hereby re
pealed : Provided, however, That nothing in this Constitution contained
shall affect the right of any such municipality to make such subscrip
tion where the same has been authorized under existing laws by a vote
of the people of such municipality prior to its adoption, or to prevent
the issue of renewal bonds, or the use of such other means as are or
may be prescribed by law for the liquidation or payment of such sub
scription, or of any existing indebtedness.
A r t i c l e 10, Section 12. (Municipal indebtedness, limit of.) N o
county, city, town, township, shool district or other political corpora
tion or sub-division of the State shall be allowed to become indebted in
any manner or for any purpose to an amount exceeding in any year the
income and revenue provided for such year, without the assent of twothirds of the voters thereof voting at an election to be held for that
purpose; nor in cases requiring such assent shall any indebtedness be
allowed to be incurred 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 assessment next before the
last assessment for State and county purposes, previous to the incur
ring of such indebtedness: Provided, That with such assent any county
may be allowed to become indebted to a larger amount for the erection
of a court-house or jail. And provided further. That any county, city,
town, township, school district, or other political corporation or sub
division of the State, incurring any indebtedness, requiring the assent
of the voters as aforesaid, shall, before or at the time of doing so, pro
vide foi the collection of an annual tax sufficient to pay the interest on
such indebtedness as it falls due, and also to constitute a sinking fund
for payment of the principal thereof, within twenty years from the
time of contracting the same.
It is scarcely necessary to add anything to the foregoing. The sections
given make clear (1) that a municipality cannot loan its credit; (2) that
it cannot subscribe to the capital stock of corporations; (3) that it can
not get into debt without two-thirds of the voters voting at an election
favor it, and then only to an aggregate of 5 per cent of valuation,
except that with such assent any county may be allowed to become
indebted in a larger amount for the erection of a court house or
Jail, and finally (4) that before or at the time of getting the assent of the
voters an annual tax must be provided sufficient to pay interest and
form a sinking fund to pay the debt within 20 years. These provisionsare certainly very conservative.
POPULATION OF STATE. —Few States in the Union have made
a greater advance in population in recent decades than Missouri. The
Territorial Government was established as early as 1812, and it was at
that time that Congress gave the Territory the name Missouri, it hav
ing previously been called Louisiana, the present Louisiana being then
known as the Territory of Orleans. Admission as a State occurred in.
1821. But population as yet was small, the Census of 1820 showing a
total of 66,557, against 19,783 in 1810. In 1830 the number had in
creased to 140,455; in 1840 to 383,702; and in 1850 to 682,044. From
that time on progress has been “ by leaps and bounds,” there having
been an addition of half a million or thereabouts in every decade since
then, the aggregate for 1890 being reported at 2,679,184. There are
only four States that have a larger population than this, namely New
York, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Ohio—that is, Missouri ranks fifth in.
population. It is proper to add that it has held this position sinco
1870. In 1820 it ranked number 23.

S e c t i o n 182. The State may, to meet casual deficits or failure in the
revenue, or in case of extraordinary emergencies, contract debts, but

thousand dollars, exclusive of what may be the debt of Xortk Dakota
at the time of the adoption of this Constitution. Every such debt
shall be authorized by law for certain purposes, to be definitely men
tioned therein, and every such law shall provide for levying an annual
tax sufficient to pay the interest semi-annually, and the principal
within thirty years from the passage of such law, and shall specially
appropriate the proceeds of such tax to the payment of said principal
and interest, and such appropriation shall not be repealed nor the tax
discontinued until such debt, both principal and interest, shall have
been fully paid. Xo debt in excess of the limit named shall be incurred
except for the purpose of repelling invasion, suppressing insurrection,
defending the State in time of war, or to provide for public defense in
case of threatened hostilities, but the issuing of new bonds to refund
existing indebtedness shall not be construed to be any part or portion
of said two hundred thousand dollars.
Sec. 183. The debt of any county, township, city, town, school district
or any other political subdivision, shall never exceed five( j) per centum
upon the assessed value of the taxable property therein; provided,
that any incorporated city may, by a two-thirds vote, increase such in
debtedness three (y) per centum on such assessed value beyond said five
(j) per centum limit. In estimating the indebtedness which a city,
county, township, school district or any other political subdivision may
incur, the entire amount of existing indebtedness, whether contracted
prior or subsequent to the adoption of this < onstitution shall be in
cluded ; provided, further, that any incorporated city may become in
debted in any amount not exceeding four (4) per centum on such
assessed value without regard to the existing indebtedness of such
city, for the purpose of constructing or purchasing water works for
furnishing a supply of water to the inhabitants of such city, or for the
purpose of constructing sewers, and for no other purpose whatever.
All bonds or obligations in excess of the amount of indebtedness per
mitted by this Constitution given by any city, county, township, town,
school district, or any other political subdivision, shall be void.
8 ec. 184. Any city, county, township, town, school district, or any
other political subdivision, incurring indebtedness shall, at or before
the time of so doing, provide for the collection of an annual tax suffi
cient to pay the Interest and also the principal thereof when due, and
all laws or ordinances providing for the payment of the interest or
principal of any debt shall be irrepealable until such debt be paid.
Sec. 185. Xeither the State nor any county, city, township, town
school district, or any other political subdivision, shall loan or give its
credit or make donations to or in aid of any individual, association or
corporation, exeept for necessary support of the poor, nor subscribe to
or become the owner of the capital stock of any association or corpor
ation, nor shall the State engage in any work of internal improvement
unless authorized by a two-thirds vote of the people.
Sec. 187. Xo bond or evidence of indeotedness of the State shall be
valid unless the same shall have endorsed thereon a certificate, signed
bp the Auditor and Secretary of State, showing that the bond or
evidence of debt is issued pursuant to law and is within the debt limit
Xo bond or evidence of debt of any county, or bond of any township or
other political subdivision, shall be valid unless the same have endorsed

S e c t i o n 1. Neither the State nor any county, township or munici

and also the principal thereof when due, and all laws or ordinances
providing for the paym ent of the interest or p rin cip a l of any debt
shall be irrepealable un til such debt be paid.
POPULATION OF STATE.—It is hardly necessary to say that pop
ulation has increased very decidedly in the section of country now
known as the State of South Dakota. As will be remembered, the old
Territory of Dakota was by Act of Congress in 1889 divided up into two
nearly equal portions, and authority given to form two new States, one
to be called North Dakota and the other South Dakota, the same act
also providing for the admission of Washington and Montana as States
Nearly the whole of the old Territory of Dakota had proved itself by
experience good farming land, the soil being rich and fertile, but South
Dakota was much the more populous part of the territory. According
to the Census of 1890 the new State had an aggregate of 328,808 inhab
itants. Ten years previously the whole of the Territory of Dakota,
comprising both North and South Dakota, contained only 135,177
inhabitants, and of these 98,268 were located in South Dakota. In 1870
the whole Territory had but 14,181 population. Practically the entire
growth has occurred during the last two decades.

DEBT LIMITATION.—Nebraska has carefully provided in its Con
stitution against creating State indebtedness, but has left city and other
municipal indebtedness chiefly in the care of the Legislature.
(1) STATE indebtedness is restricted to $100,000 to meet casual defl.
cits in revenues, except in case of invasions, &c., while the loaning by
Vol. LV1II
the State of its credit is prohibited. The sections of the Constitution
which have reference to these matters are the following.
A r t i c l e 12, Section 1. [Debts.] The State may, to meet casual defi
cits or failures in the revenues, contract debts never to exceed in the
aggregate one hundred thousand dollars; and no greater indebtedness
shall be incurred except for the purpose of repelling invasion, suppress
ing insurrection, or defending the State in w ar; and provision shall be
made for the payment of the interest annually, 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
A r t i c l e 12, Section 3. The credit of the State shall never be given
or loaned in aid of any individual, association or corporation.
(2) OITY and other municipal indebtedness is without any recogni
tion in the Constitution except so far as relates to donations to railroads
and to subscriptions to the stock of railroads and other corporations
or associations. We subjoin the sections of the Constitution which inany way relate to municipal debt-making.
A r t i c l e 12, Section 2. [Municipal Donations.]
No city, county
town, precinct, municipality, or other sub-division of the State,,
shall ever make donations to any railroad or other works of
internal improvement, unless a proposition so to do shall have been
first submitted to the qualified electors thereof at any election by
authority of law; Provided, That such donations of a county with the
donations of such sub-divisions in the aggregate shall not exceed ten
per cent of the assessed valuation of such county; Provided furthery
That any city or county may, by a two-thirds vote, increase such indebtness five per cent in addition to such ten per cent, and no bonds or
evidences of indebtedness so issued shall be valid unless the same shall
have endorsed thereon a certificate signed by the Secretary and Auditor
of State, showing that the same is issued pursuant to law.
A r t i c l e 11, Section 1. [Municipal Corporations.] No city, county r
town, precinct, municipality, or other sub-division of the State, shall
ever become a subscriber to the capital stock, or owner of such stock, or
any portion of interest therein, of any railroad or private corporation
or association.
With so little attempt at regulating by Constitutional restrictions the
debts of cities, towns and counties, the Legislature has of course been
required to provide laws covering the subject. For that purpose, and
for the purpose of framing genera^ statutes which would also facilitate
the incorporation of these municipalities, the Legislature has classified
cities under the following general heads :
(1) Cities of the metropolitan class includes all cities having, or which,
shall hereafter have, 80,000 inhabitants.
(2) Cities of the first class include all cities having less than 100,000
and more than 25,000 inhabitants.
(3) Cities of the first class having less than 25,000 and more than 10,000 inhabitants, rank apparently third.
(4) Cities of the second class include all cities, towns and villages con
taining more than 1,000 and less than 25,000 inhabitants, and ap
parently form a fourth division.
It will be noted that in the above “ cities of the first class” appear
wiee—that is in the divisions marked (2) and (3;—the population differ
ing however. Also, it appears that in the classification according topopulation, cities of the “ metropolitan class ” and “ cities of the first
class” in sub-division (2) overlap. The same is true likewise of sub
division (3) “ cities of the first class,” and “ cities of the second class” in
sub-division (4). We have not sufficiently studied the whole of these
laws to know what object is covered by these apparent irregularities
but have no doubt that the arrangement is made in the form adopted
for some satisfactory reason.
We cannot attempt to give more than in bare outline the statutory
regulations affecting the issue of bonds by each of these classes of cities
But we will likewise give references to the statutes which relate to each
class, so that our readers can, if they desire, inform themselves more
fully.
1. “ The Metropolitan Class'1finds general authority for the issue of
bonds in section 66 chapter 12a, page 126, of the “ Compiled Statutesof Nebraska,” edition of 1891. That section authorizes the issue of
ity bonds of such length of time as the mayor and council may deem
proper for the construction or maintenance of sewers, for renewal of
funding of outstanding bonds, for paying floating debt, for the con
struction of a city hall or other needful city buildings, for
the purchase of gas works, water works or land for public
parks. Restrictions, however, are provided as follow s: (1) That
the bonded indebtedness of the city exclusive of district paving
bonds and curbing and guttering bonds heretofore issued, of bonds issued
for the erection of a city hall, district grading bonds hereafter issued,
and bonds issued for park purposes, shall not at any time exceed in the
aggregate 1 2 ^ per cent of the assessed valuation. (2) No bonds shall
be issued except renewal bonds, bonds for paving, bonds for appropria
tion of gas works or water works or land for public parks or boulevards,
bonds for curbing or guttering purposes, bonds for the erection of public
buildings in excess of $200,000 in one year, nor (3) until the “ legal elec
tors of said city shall have authorized the same by a vote of twothirds of all electors voting.” Section 80 page 135 of the same chap
ter rebuires a sinking fund to be provided to pay interest and to redeem
the bonds at maturity, and for that purpose it is required that a tax
shall be levied not exceeding one per cent.
“ District Street Improvement Bonds,” “ Grading Bonds,” and
“ Paving Bonds,” are authorized by section 69 page 127. These
bond issues are all to be preceded by a tax on the property benefitted,
the tax payable in ten payments, the first within 50 days and the other
nine payments within the nine years following. The bonds have not
more than ten years to run and the tax is a lien on the land and is expected
to pay the bonds. The cost of paving, re-paving and macadamizing the
intersections of streets in any paving district is paid by the city and
the same section gives authority to issue bonds for that purpose.
(2) Cities o f the first class (more than 25,000 inhabitants) are author
ized (in sub-divisions 20, 21, 22 of section 67, chapter 13a, page 174, of
the Statutes of Nebraska, edition of 1891), to borrow money, issue
bonds, and to provide a sinking fund. Sub-division 20 is a general
authority “ to borrow money on the credit of the city,” though nothing
is said about the issue of bonds, warrants or any form of security; but
we presume all that is implied. Sub-division 21 authorizes the issue of
bonds for funding purposes. Sub-division 22 makes provisi on for a

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 (with
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. On Jan. 1, 1894, the debt amounted to $801,000, of
which $9,000 was held by the State University fund and $536,000 by
the permanent school fund, leaving only $256,000 bonds outstanding.

"The decrease in the total valuation of property in the State during
the year 1889-90 was largely owing to the lowering of the assessed
valuation of railroad property by the State Board of Assessors.
DEBT LIMITATION,— Kansas has by its Constitution given the
State power to contract public debts for the purpose of defraying extra
ordinary expenses and making public improvements in an amount not
to exceed $1,000,000. 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,
the section following provides that the State may borrow money to
repel invasion, &c. We give these sections in full and also the subse
quent one which forbids the State being a party to internal improve
ments.
Debts, annual tax; proceeds. For the purpose of defraying extraordin
ary expenses and making public improvements, the State may contract
public debts; but such debts shall never, in the aggregate, exceed one
million dollars, except 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
such law shall provide for levying an annual tax sufficient to pay the
annual 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 appropri
ation 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 bo contracted by the State except as here
in provided, unless the proposed law for creating such debt shall first be
submitted 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 cast 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 all the provisions and restrictions provided in the pro
ceding section of this article.
Borrow 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
on any works of internal improvement.
MUNICIPAL indebtedness is not restricted by the Constitution at all.
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.
129
A r l 1895.
pi,
Cities. Provision shall be made by general law for the organization of
cities, towns and villages; and their power of taxation, assessment,
borrowing money, contracting debts and loaning their credit, shall be
so restricted as to prevent the abuse of such power.
Under the foregoing the legislation of Kansas has become so exten
sive that our limited space here does not admit of even a brief digest.
The reader will, however, find the ground very fully covered in a series
o f articles which were published in the C h r o n ic l e , Vol. 53, pages 854
and 942, and Yol. 54, pages 42 and 128.
POPULATION OF STATE. —Kansas has developed into one of the
most important agricultural States of the country, though it is not so
long ago since we were told that the State offered but a poor outlook for
hose engaged in agricultural pursuits. The growth in population has
been as striking as the progress in agriculture, and is the more note
worthy since practically the whole of this growth has occurred during
the last twenty years—from 1870 to 1890. In this brief period the
number of inhabitants has increased from 364,399 to 1,427,096. The
earliest record of population goes back only to 1860, and then the total
was but 107,206. The State at that time ranked 33d in point of numbers
among the States and Territories ; now it has advanced in position to
number 19.

The proportion of the colored population was 4-33 per cent in 1880
and 3-59 per cent in 1890. In number blacks were 627 in 1860; 17,108
in 1870; 43,107 in 1880, and 51,251 in 1890.

debt.

POPULATION OF fSTA T E .—Montana enjoys the distinction o f
being one o f fou r States (Montana, W ashington, North D akota and

covered by a single act. Population as yet is not large, but is grow ing
The Census o f 1890 made the total 132,159, which com pares with 39,159 in 1880 and 20,595 in 1870. The State contains great m ineral wealth
~nd in the aggregate production o f copper and the precious metals
anks very high. The fam ous A naconda copper mine is located
within its territory, and there are many im portant m ining centres,
Butte being especially prominent. N ot only that, but the State p os
sesses excellent advantages for grazing and w ool raising, and much of
the land is good farm ing land well adapted for produ cing w heat and
other staple crops. Three great railroad systems, nam ely the Northern
Pacific, the Great Northern and the Union Pacific, con u ect tlio State
with the rest o f the country* When to this is added the fact that in area
the State is about three times the size of New York, it w ill bo seen that
the opportunities for developm ent are great.

buildings thereon. The bonds sold at a small premium. An additional
issue of $90,000 was authorized by the Legislature of 1888 for the
name purpose and sold at a premium of 12 cents on the dollar. The
public buildings and institutions which the State now owns are the
Capitol building and the Institute for the Blind Deaf and Dumb, both

that the State is determined to preserve with care the conservative
reputation which it enjoyed as a Territory.
FIRST, the State is prohibited from creating any indebtedness (see
section 1, article 16; exceeding one per centum of the assessed valua
tion. Y ext (see section 2, article 1 6 ;, no debt of any amount or kind
can be created unless the proposition to create such debt shall have
been submitted to a vote of the people, and by them approved; except to
suppress insurrection,etc. Yext (seesection 6. article 1 6 ;,the State cannot
loan or give its credit or make donations to or in aid of individuals, associ
ations or corporations {except for necessary support of the poor), or be the
owner of capital stock in any association, etc. It cannot engage in any
work of internal improvement unless authorized by a two-thirds vote of
the people. Finally (see section 8, article 1 6;, no bond or evidence of
State indebtedness is valid unless the same shall have endorsed
thereon a certificate signed by the Auditor and Secretary of the State
that the bond or evidence of debt is issued pursuant to law and is within
the debt limit.
SECOND, counties, cities and all other m unicipalities are in like
manner carefully restricted. ( 1 ) The first provision of the series (see
section 3, article 1 6; limits counties only, forbidding the creation of
debt in any manner in excess o f 2 p er cent on assessed valuation; p r o
vided that any County, City, Town or Village or other sub-division
thereof may bond its public debt existing at the time of the adoption of
this Constitution in any sum not exceeding 4 per cent on assessed valuation. (2 ) The next provision (section 4, article 16; forbids any debt
to be created by any County, City, Town or Village or any sub-divisions
of either in excess of the taxes for the current year, unless the proposi
tion is first submitted to a vote of the people and approved. (3 ) Y ex t
it is provided (see section 5, article 16; that no City, Town or Village or
any sub-division of any County shall create indebtedness exceeding 2 per
cent of assessed valuation, except that for the purpose of building sewer
age additional indebtedness not exceeding 4 per cent on assessed valua
tion is permitted. Debts contracted f o r su p p lyin g water to Cities o r
Towns are not included in the lim itations o f this section. ( 4 ) Yext (see
section 6, article 16; we have the restriction that no County, City,
Town, &c., shall loan or give its credit or make donations to or in
aid of any individual, association or corporation (except for necessary
support of the poor), or subscribe to or become the owner of the capital
stock of any association or corporation. Finally (see section 8, article
16), no bond or evidence of debt of any County,Township or other p o liti
c a l division shall be valid unless the same have endorsed thereon a cer
tificate by the county auditor or other officer authorized by law to sign
such certificate, stating that said bond is issued p u rsu a n t to law and i s
within the debt lim it.

in full which we have referred to above.

therefore is not yet very large. Tbe Federal Census of 1890 reported the

D E B T L IM IT A T IO N .— Idaho has placed limits in its Constitution
upon the debt-making pow er both o f the State and its municipalities.
Though the provisions have a conservative tendency, they are n ot quite
as strict as the Constitutional limitations o f m ost o f the other new
States.
FIRST, State debts (see section 1, article 8) are not to he created w hich
in the aggregate (exclusive o f the debt o f the Territory) exceed the sum
o f 1 ks per cent upon assessed valuation (except iu case o f war, &c.), u n
less the same shall he authorized b y law for some single w ork therein
specified, which law shall provide the ways and means exclusive o f
loans for the paym ent o f the annual interest and o f the principal within
20 y e a rs; no such law shall take effect until it is subm itted to the people
and it receives a m ajority o f the votes cast. In section 2 it is also p ro
vided that the State shall not give or loan its credit nor becom e a stock-
holder in any association or corporation. These tw o sections w e give
below .
S e c t i o n 1. The Legislature shall not in any m anner create any debt
or debts, liability or liabilities, which shall singly or in the aggregate,
exclusive o f the debt o f the Territory at the date o f its admission as a
State, exceed the sum o f one and one-half per centum upon the assessed
value of the taxable property in the State, except in case o f w ar, to repel
an invasion, or suppress insurrection, unless the same shall be authorized
b y law for some single object or w ork to be distinctly specified therein,
which law shall provide w ays and means, exclusive of loans, fo r the
paym ent of the interest of such debt or liability as it falls d u e ; and also
for the paym ent and discharge of the principal o f such debt or liability
within tw en ty years o f the time o f the contracting thereof, and shall be
irrepealable until the principal and interest thereon shall be paid and
discharged; but no such law shall take effect until at a general election
it shall have been submitted to the people, and shall have received a
m ajority o f all the votes cast for and against it at such e le ctio n ; and all
moneys" raised b y the authority of such law, shall be applied on ly to the
specified object therein stated, or to the paym ent o f the debt thereby
created, and such law shall be published in at least one new spaper in
each county, or city and county, if one be published therein, throughout
the State, fo r three months next preceding the election at w hich it is
submitted to the people. The Legislature m ay, at any time after the
approval o f such law , b y the people, if no debt shall have been con
tracted in pursuance thereof, repeal the same.
S e c t i o n 2. The credit o f the State shall n ot in any m aim er be given
or loaned to, or in aid of, any individual, association, m unicipality or
corp ora tion ; n or shall the State directly or indirectly, becom e a stock
holder in any association or corporation,
SECOXD, no County, City, Toicn or other subdivision (see section 3,
article 8) shall incur indebtedness “ exceeding in that year the incom e
and revenue provid ed f o r it fo r such year ” without the assent o f twothirds of the qualified electors votin g at an election, n or unless at or
before incurring the indebtedness p rovision be m ade fo r the collection
o f an annual ta x sufficient to pay the interest and to constitute a sink
ing fund fo r the paym ent o f the principal within tw en ty years. “ P ro
vided that this section shall not be construed to a pply to the ordinary
and necessary expenses authorized by the gen eral laws o f the State."
This last clause is peculiar and quite difficult o f clear explanation. The
w ords above in italics “ incom e and revenue p rovided for it ” are also a
little obscure. The final section (sectionL) o f article 8 forbids any cou n ty >
city, tow n &c. from loaning its credit in aid o f any corporation &c
These tw o sections in fu ll are as fo llo w s :
S e c t i o n 3. N o county, city, tow n, township, board o f education, or
ch ool district, or other sub-division o f the State, shall incur any indebt
edness, or liability in any m anner, or for any purpose, exceeding in that
year the incom e and revenue provided fo r it fo r such year, without the
assent o f two-thirds of the qualified electors thereof, voting at an elec
tion to be held for that purpose, n or unless, before or at the time of
incurring such indebtedness, provision shall be made fo r the collection
o f an annual tax sufficient to pay the interest o f such indebtedness as it
falls due. and also to constitute a sinking fund fo r the paym ent o f the
principal thereof within tw en ty years from the time o f contracting the
same. A n y indebtedness or liability incurred contrary to this provision
shall be v o id : Provided, That this section shall n ot be construed to
apply to the ordinary and necessary expenses authorized by the general
laws" of the State.
S e c t i o n 4. No county, city, tow n, township, board o f education, or
school district, or other "sub-division, shall lend, or pledge the credit or
faith thereof directly or indirectly, in any manner, to, or in aid of, any
individual, association or corporation, fo r any am ount or for any pur
pose whatever, or becom e responsible for any debt, contract or liability
o f any individual, association or corporation in or out o f this State.
POPULATION OF STATE.—Idaho has had only a b rief existence
as a State, having been admitted into the U nion by A ct o f Congress
July 3, 1890— st a week earlier than W yoming. P opulation o f course
ju
is small, but, as in m ost o f the neighboring States, is steadily being
added to. The State abounds in minerals, and the yearly p rodu ct o f the
precious metals is large. The State covers, m oreover, a very extensive
area. Doubtless m ost persons w ill be surprised to hear that it is nearly
tw ice the size o f the State of Pennsylvania, Idaho containing 84,800
square miles of territory, while the area o f Pennsylvania is on ly 45,215
square miles. A ccordin g to the Census o f 1890 popu lation was 84,385
which com pares with 32,610 in 1880 and 14,999 in 1870.
1 8 9 0 ..................84,385 |1 88 0 ..................... 32,610 |1 87 0 ....................14,999
In 1870-80 increase was 17,611, or 117 41 per cent, and in 1880-90 ,
51,775, or 158*77 per cent. The popu lation in 1894, accord in g to loca^
figures, was 125,000.
The am ount w hich Alturas County w ill be required to pay is only
bout one-fifth o f above am ount, because the bonds pledged the ta x
able property o f the cou n ty as constituted at the tim e o f issue, and be
fore the division o f Alturas. Elm ore, Logan and part o f Bingham
county were taken from Alturas County in 1889.

HISTORY OF DEBT.—Colorado has always shown a disposition to
k eep out o f debt. E ntering the U nion at a late date (August 3 1 ,1 8 7 6 ), it
had the experience o f other States to build upon, and its people were
c le v e r enough to profit b y that experience. In her Constitution the pow er
to con tract debt is w isely restricted. When the change w as made from
th e T erritorial con dition to a State organization, the State assumed the
d e b t o f the Territory, which was about $42,000. On N ovem ber 30,
1880, the total debt was $212,814. Now the funded debt is but
$600,000.
There is, how ever, another class o f indebtedness, w hich has grow n the
last few years until it has reached m uch greater im portance than the
funded debt, and w hich has in a measure im paired the State’ s conserva
tive rep u tation ; not because of its size (for in size it is but a trifle for a
rich State like Colorado) but because o f its character. We refer to a
floating debt begun originally in a small w ay to provide for “ casual
deficiencies o f rev en u e” (as the Constitution o f the State reads), and
which has increased year by year until the warrants outstanding have
in am ount gone far beyond the Constitutional limit. No doubt the war
rants w ill shortly be funded under a special amendment of the Constitu
tion, w hich w ill have to bo provided and adopted for that purpose. In
the meantime w e do not class them, for obvious reasons, with the debt
prox>er, but give a special item to them below.

DEBT LIMITATION.— Colorado’s Constitutional provisions w ith
reference to the creation o f debt are o f considerable length, and strike
one at first as quite elaborate. A fte r a brief study o f the provisions
their good qualities stand out so plainly as w h olly to disarm criticism
No State has placed the debt-m aking pow er on a more reasonable basis
All the regulations w ith reference to public indebtedness are found in
article 11 o f the Constitution.
FIRST, as to State debt— {1) (see section 1 ;, there is an absolute
prohibition against loaning the credit o f the State to, or in aid of, any
corporation, person, & c.; also against the State becom ing responsible
fo r any debt o f any corporation, person, &c. (2) (see section 2). The
State is forbidden to make any donation to, or becom e a shareholder in
any corporation, &c., or jo in t ow n er w ith any person, corporation, &c.,
except such ownership accrues b y escheat,or b y op eration of law or
purchase under execu tion , &c. (3) (see section 3 ;. The State is pro
liibited from contracting any debt except to p rovid e casual deficiencies,
to erect public buildings fo r use o f State, and to suppress insurrection
&c.; and to p rovid e f o r deficiencies o f revenue the am ount o f debt c o n
tracted in one year shall n ot exceed one-quarter o f a m ill on each dollar
o f valuation, and the aggregate shall not exceed three-quarters o f a
m ill on each dollar o f valuation until valuation equals $100,000,000,
and thereafter such debt shall n ot exceed $100,000; and for erection of
public buildings the debt incurred in any one year shall not exceed onehalf a m ill on valuation, and the aggregate o f such debt shall never
exceed $50,000 (except as provid ed in section 5 o f this article). (4) (see
section 4 ;. The State is forbidden to make any debt perm itted by f oregoing
sections excep t b y a law irrepealable, specifyin g purpose, and levyin g
a ta x sufficient to pay interest and extinguish principal within time
lim ited fo r paym ent. (5) (see section 5 ; Authorizes debt fo r the purpose
o f erecting public buildings n ot exceeding in the aggregate three m ills
on each dollar o f valuation; p rovid ed , before going into effect such law
shall be ratified by the m ajority o f the voters at a general election.
SECOND, as to county debt (see section 6 ). Counties are prohibited
from con tracting debt in any form except f o r the purpose o f erecting
necessary public buildings, m aking or rep airin g p u b lic roads and
bridges; and such indebtedness shall n ot exceed in any one year
$1 50 on each $1,000 in counties the assessed valuation of w hich ex
ceeds five m illion dollars and $3 on each $1,000 in counties in which
valuation is less than five m illion d o lla rs; the aggregate indebtedness
of any county for all purposes (exclusive of debts contracted before the
adoption o f this Constitution) shall not exceed tw ice the am ount of
above limit, unless the question incurring such debt shall at a general
election be subm itted to such o f the qualified electors of such county as
in the y ea r last preced in g such election shall have p a id a tax upon prop
erty in cou n ty, and receive a m ajority o f those votin g thereon; but even
in that case the aggregate am ount o f debt shall n ot at any time exceed
tw ice the rate upon valuation m entioned above—that w ould be $6 on
$1,000 o f valuation.
TH IR D , as to school districts (see section 7). No debt b y loan in any
form can be contracted by any school district for school grounds and
buildings unless the proposition is submitted to such qualified electors
as have p a id a school tax the preced in g yea r and a m ajority of those
voting fa v o r it.
FOURTH , as to cities and towns (see section 8 ). No debt in any form
can bo contracted b y a city or tow n excep t b y ordinance irrepealable
until the debt is p a id ; ordinance must specify purpose, must provide a
ta x not exceedin g 12 mills on each dollar o f valuation sufficient to pay
annual interest and extinguish debt within 15 years and in n ot less
than 10 years; but no debt can be created unless the question o f incur
ring the same shall at a regular election o f city or tow n officers be sub
m itted to a vote o f such o f the qualified electors as shall in the yea r next
preced in g have p aid a p rop erty tax and a m ajority votin g fa vor the
proposition; but even in that case the aggregate am ount o f debt,
together with debt previously existing, shall n ot exceed 3 p e r cent o f
valuation. D ebts contracted f o r su pplyin g water to such city or tow n
are excepted from the operation of this section.
FIFTH , as to counties, cities. townsf <£c. (see sections 1 and 2). W hat
has been said above about the State loaning its credit to, or in aid of*
corporations, persons, &c., and also what is said with reference to the
State making donations to, or becom ing a stockholder in, corporations
&c. applies likewise to counties, cities, towns, <fcc. E very kind o f
m unicipality is enjoined in and by the Constitution against making any
such loan or granting any such aid.
W e now give in full the sections o f the Constitution referred to.

The grow th o f population since then has been very decided. The State
abounds in m ineral w e a lth ; it has very extensive coal fields, and in the
aggregate production of the precious metals, including lead and copper
ranks very high. It is also m aking considerable progress in agriculture.
In 1870, when it was still a Territory, its population was less than
forty thousand—39,864. In 1880 the num ber had risen to nearly tw o
hundred thousand, and fo r 1890 the aggregate was over fou r hundred
thousand—412,198.

POPULATION OF TERRITORY.—
Though New Mexico has not
yet been constituted a State, it has a larger population at the present
time than several of the newly-settled Far Western States, and with the
.id of extensive irrigating works and the development of the Territory's
mineral wealth, numbers are being steadily added to. New Mexico
originally included what is now the Territory of Arizona, but in 1863
this latter, forming one of the counties of New Mexico, was detached
and given a separate government. Deducting from the aggregate of
population in 1860 the number of persons resident within Arizona
numbers at that time were 87,034. In the decade to 1870 the addition
was small, so that the Census of that year reported a total of only 91,874. In the next decade, however, there was an increase to 119,565
and by 1890 the aggregate had risen to 153,593.

1880................119,565 I 1860................ *87,034 |
* Not including population of Arizona Territory, then forming part of
Now Mexico, but subsequently detached and organized as a separate
Territory.
In 1800-70 increase was 4,840, or 5 per cent; in 1870-80, 27,691,
or 30-14 per cen t; in 1880-90, 34,028, or 28’46 per cent.

immediately upon its meeting, and the present Governor’s term runs

POPULATION OF S TA TE .—A m ong the States o f the P acific Coast,
Oregon has been at som e disadvantage as com pared w ith som e of
her neighbors. The State has a fertile soil and is yearly increas
ing its products—wheat especially bein g raised in large quantities—but
the absence of railroad m ileage to the exten t needful has been a draw
back upon fu ll developm ent. N evertheless the popu lation has been
greatly enlarged. In 1870 the aggregate w as only 9 0,9 23 ; b y 1880
num bers had nearly doubled, the Census show ing a tota l o f 174,768, and in 1890 the aggregate had risen to 313,767.

Vol. L X

la w bonds bearing date A pril 1, 1890, were issued and placed at 3*2
p er cen t interest, the purchasers paying one-eighth o f one per cent
prem ium . It was subsequently found that a balance o f about tw enty
thousand dollars o f Territorial indebtedness was still le ft unprovided
for. This has been paid by the State out o f current revenues. The
con dition o f the bonded debt at present is consequently confined to this
single issue, the details with regard to which are as stated below .

Two important acts have been passed by the Virginia Legislature
this year. One re-enacts the Funding Act of Feb. 20, 1892, and under
its provisions all old Virginia bonds may now be brought in and
funded into new Century bonds, upon the same terms as the Olcott
settlement, and under this extension $712,725 61 have been funded
since our last report. Under the old law coupon bonds once con
verted into registered certificates were not re-convertible into coupon
bonds, but this act makes coupon and registered bonds interchange
able. The second act authorizes the Virginia State Sinking Fund Com
missioners to invest the surplus revenues of the State from time to
time in Virginia Century bonds or Virginia 3s to the extent of $100,
000 per month. Under this act $337,000 of Century bonds have been
purchased at a cost of $199,291 33, and are now held by the Commis
sioners of the Sinking Fund.
W E ST VIRGINIA C E R T IF IC A T E S .-In the settlement of 1871 it
was assumed that West Virginia should provide for one-third the prin
cipal and interest of the then existing debt—for $15,239,370 —that is
out of the total debt of $45,718,112. To represent, therefore, West Vir
ginia’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 comprom
ise, and deposited their holdings with the Farmers’ Loan & Trust Com
pany, which gave its trust receipts therefor. This attempt came to
nothing, and in 1890 Messrs. C. Satterthwaite & Sons, of No. 30 Throg
morton Street, London, E. C., started another movement to bring about
a settlement.
Besides the original “ deferred certificates” there were subsequently
issued under the Riddleberger A ct “ West Virginia interest-bearing cer
tificates,” to represent one-third the principal of the old bonds brought
in for funding, and “ non-interest-bearing certificates” to represent onethird the interest on old bonds brought in for funding. Under the
agreement with the “ Bondholders’ Committee,” the holders of the
“ Old Bonds ” surrendered on settlement were given a certificate show
ing that West Virginia is indebted to them for one-third of said “ Old
Bonds.” Including these the outstanding West Virginia certificates
are therefore as follow s: —

An adjustment company, with the Mercantile Trust & Deposit Com

of making another attempt at the settlement of the West Virginia cer
tificates. (See C h r o n ic l e , Vol. 57, page 819; Vol. 58, pages 51,314

April, 1895.
POPULATION OF S T A T E —In the early history of the country,
Virginia had more inhabitants than any other State of the Union. Be
ginning with the first Census in 1790, it ranked No. 1 for three succes
sive censuses, population in 1790 being 747,610, in 1800 880,200 and
in 1810 974,600. In 1820 it was passed by New York and in 1830 by
Pennsylvania. But even so late as 1860 the Old Commonwealth was
out-ranked by only four States, and held fifth position. Then came
the Civil War, and in 1863 part of her territory was detached and
erected into a separate State. It took some time to recover from the
effects of the war; nevertheless, the additions to population since then
have been considerable. How considerable will appear from the fact
that while through the creation of the State of West Virginia the
Commonwealth lost about 400,000 in population, numbers in 1890
without West Virginia were larger than the total in 1860 with West
Virginia included—that is, though the State has a smaller territory,
total population is larger than at any previous time. The State pos
sesses extensive mineral resources, and these have latterly been opened
up and developed to some extent. If Virginia still embraced West
Virginia, total population for 1890 would be 2,418,774, at which figure
the aggregate would be exceeded only by the aggregates of five States,
namely New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio and Missouri.

* This includes population of the section now forming the State of
West Virginia. Without West Virginia population was 1,219,630 in
1860; 1,119,348 in 1850; 1,015,260 in 1840; 1,034,481 in 1830; 928,348 in 1820; 869,131 in 1810; 801,608 in 1800 and 691,737 in 1790.
In 1870-80 increase was 287,402, or 23'46 per cent, and in 1880-90
143,415, or 9-48 per cent.
The proportion of the colored population was 41-76 per cent in 1880
and 38-70 per cent in 1890. In number blacks were 526,861 in 1850
and 548,907 in 1860, both including West Virginia; 512,841 in 1870
631,616 m 1880, and 640,867 in 1890.

POPULATION OF S T A T E .—Kentucky is one of the progressive
8tates of the South. It was not one of the Original Thirteen States, but
has been in the Union just about a hundred years. It formed part oi Vir
ginia, and that Commonwealth having given its consent, the “ District
of Kentucky” was erected into a separate State, and by A ct of Congress
passed in 1791 became a member of the Federal Union June 1,1792.
The State’ s resources are many and varied. It has not only great agri
cultural advantages but considerable mineral wealth, and its growth in
population has been rapid from the start. In 1790 numbers were
73,677; ten years after, the total had risen to 220,955; 1810 found it
406,511; in 1820 it had gone up to 564,135; in 1830 to 687,917; in
1850 to 982,405; in 1870 to 1,321,011. In the last two decades there
has been a further addition of considerably over half a million, and.
accordingly, the 1890 Census reported a total of 1,858,635. There are
only ten States that have a larger population than this.

The proportion of the colored population was 16-47 per cent in 1880
and 14-69 per cent in 1890. In number blacks were 220,992 in 1850 T

POPULATION OF S T A T E .—Though not one o f the Original Thir
teen States, Tennessee is one o f the oldest members of the Federal
U nion; and possessing m any natural advantages, such as varied m in
eral resources, extensive forests o f lumber, rich and abundant grasses,
and excellent farm ing land on w hich grain, cotton and other products
are raised—growth o f population has been rapid, the addition during the
last tw o decades alone (1870-90) having been over half a m illion.
Tennessee was ceded to the United States b y the State o f N orth Caro
lina, the act accepting the deed of cession having been approved A pril
2 ,17 90 . This was follow ed May 26, 1790, by a Congressional enact
ment p roviding that the territory o f the United States south o f the R iver
Ohio, should fo r the purposes o f tem porary governm ent be one district,
the governm ent to he similar to that at the time exercised in the terri
tory northw est o f the Ohio. Six years after—on June 1, 1796—admis
sion into the Union as a State was granted. The Census of 1790
showed a population o f 35,691 and that o f 1800 a population o f 105,602. B y 1810 the num ber had been increased to 261,727 and by 1830

T O T A L DEBT RECOGNIZED AND T O T A L ADJUSTED.The funding act of March 4, 1879, was extended to July 1,1892, and
the Governor recommended its further extension one year. The
recognized fundable debt which had been funded and the recognized
fundable debt which had not been funded were as follow s:

$36,000
Consols 4 per cent........................................... 3,291,600
292,970
To the foregoing we should add the further fact that the State does
not actually have to pay the interest on the six per cent bonds for the
reason that the lease of the North Carolina Railroad provides a fund
for the payment of the interest thereon, and the State holds three
millions in the stock of the road, which if s<-ld will much more than
pay the principal. Practically, therefore, the debt of the State
amounts to only $3,322,800, and of the securities the State itself owns
$136,750 and the Board of Education owns $143,250.

POPULATION OF STATE—When the Federal Union was formed
North Carolina was outranked in population by only two other States,
namely Virginia and Pennsylvania. The first Census—that of 1790 —
showed an aggregate of almost four hundred thousand persons within
the State. New York forged ahead' of it at the very next Census, but
even in 1820 the State still held fourth position. By 1830 Ohio had also
pushed ahead. After that, with the wonderful growth of the Western
and Northern States, North Carolina was rapidly outstripped in the race,,
especially as the additions to its population during these early years
were relatively small. In recent decades the increase has been,
more decided. With an aggregate of 393,751 in 1790 and 478,103 in
1800, it was not till the Census of 1870 that the million point was
reached and passed, the total then being given as 1,071,361. By 1890,.
however, numbers had risen to 1,617,947. The circumstance of chief
significance is that while during the whole of the eighty years from
1790 to 1870 the addition was but 677,610, in the twenty years from
1870 to 1890 the addition was as much as 546,586. The State now
ranks No. 16.

The proportion of the colored population was 37-95 per cent in 1880,
and 35-05 per cent in 1890. In number blacks were 316,011 in 1850;
361,522 in 1860; 391,650 in 1870; 531,277 in 1880, and 567,170 in

STATE DEBT.—The old debt, exceptiug such as is not recognized,
has mostly been funded under the funding laws of 1879, which provided
for the issue of (1) consolidated 4 per cent bonds due in 1910 to fund
old ante-war bonds at 40 per cent of face value, “ N ew” railroad bonds
recognized as valid at 25 per cent, and bonds of 1866 and 1868 at 15
per cent, nothing boing given for overdue coupons; and (2) for new
consolidated 6 per cent bonds due in 1919, for which the North Carolina
RR. construction bonds wore made exchangeable at par, holders of con
struction 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,
diroct 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 pay or recognize as valid the following bonds: Special tax

S T A T E P R O P E R T Y .—“ The State owns valuable deposits of phos
phates, and its revenue from the mining of them has increased from
$196,698 in 1886 to $237,149 in 1890.
POPULATION OF S T A T E .—Up to the time of the Civil War the
population of South Carolina grew but slowly. Since the close of the
war, or rather since the State recovered from its effects, there h s been
a more rapid increase. The State is one of those which took pari in the
formation of the Federal Union, and its population in relation o the
other States was quite large in the early history of the country. Thus
the Census of 1790 showed a total of 249,073, and that of 1800 a total
of 345,591. It is a noteworthy fact that in not one of the decades be
tween 1800 and 1870 did the addition to population reach as much as
100,000, and in the whole 70 years the increaso was but 360,015, aggre
gate numbers by the Census of 1870 being 705,606. As compared with
this small increase, the additions since then have been very satisfac
tory, for in 1890 the total had risen to 1,151,149, the increase for the
twenty years between 1870 and 1890 having been 445,543, or about
one-quarter more than the increase for the seventy years preceding.
The State is now making rapid prog ress in general development, too.

* Tax rate in 1894 included State tax, $8-63 ; city tax, $21-00 ; school

tax $1-75.
POPU LATIO N .—In 1890 population was 54,955; in 1880 it was
