WEALTH, TAXATION AND POPULATION IN
THE UNITED STATES.
The Bureau of the Census in the Department of
Commerce and Labor at Washington has made public

preliminary figures from its special report on
Wealth, Debt and Taxation authorized by Congress
in the Act establishing the permanent Census office.
This report, when completed, will consist of four
parts: I. Valuation of National Wealth; II. Public
Indebtedness; III. Taxation and Revenue Systems;
IV. Governmental Expenditures and Revenues.
In
the issue of our State and City Section for Nov. 24
1906 we discussed at length the statistics regarding
public indebtedness, a Census bulletin devoted to
that feature of the investigation having been issued
at that time.
In the present article we shall deal with
the other three parts of the inquiry.
It should be
distinctly understood, however, that in these cases
we have no separate bulletins giving results in detail
and permitting examination of Census work.
In this
particular nothing is as yet available except the socalled “advanceoutline” of the special report referred to.
There being no details, it is not possible to make a
study of the method by which the Census results
have been reached or to comment on the same.
Our
purpose is mainly to put the figures on record in this
publication where they can be readily referred to and
to forestall inquiries concerning the subject.
First,
as to the matter of the so-called National Wealth.

the pleasingTnformation that the
wealth of the country now exceeds one hundred
thousand million dollars, the precise figures given being
$107,104,192,410. We shall not discuss the question
whether there may not be some duplications involved
in this stupendous total, for we are without knowledge
on that point, but it is beyond dispute that the real
estate speculation and the high level of prices prevailing
throughout the industrial world have contributed in
no small degree to augment
the total. No doubt,
too, our protective tariff system has played an im¬
portant part in keeping prices high, at least in the
mercantile markets.

multi-millionaires, regarding whose power
and influence our legislators and others are giving
themselves so much concern, control, after all, only
a relatively small part of the whole.
This is true
even in the case of the wealth of the much-discussed
John D. Rockefeller, whose possessions, measured in
dollars, have recently been authentically declared not
to exceed 350 million dollars.
The amount might be
three times this sum, and even then it would consti¬
tute less than 1% of the total of $107,104,192,410.
The figures are stated to relate to the year 1904.
An estimate is also given of our wealth in 1900,
which is put at $88,517,306,775.

It will be ob¬

currency values and in gold values, gold at that time
having been at an average premium of 25% above the
value of paper money.
Of course population has
gained enormously in recent years, and this, obviously,
is an important item in the growth in wealth.

It will be observed that the largest item in the total
is the value of real property, which amounts to

$62,341,472,627, thus forming nearly 60% of the
whole.

The next

largest item is “railroads and their

pendent of the street railways, which are valued at
$2,219,966,000. This makes nearly 13Yi thousand
millions for the steam and street roads combined, a
total considerably exceeding 12% of the estimated
wealth of the country.

to the fact that while the assessed valuation of

kept pace with the increase in the National Wealth.
Though the fact that tax levies tend to increase faster
than population has often been noted

While no details are
given, it is stated that in the case of the National
Government, States and Territories, and Counties, the
receipts exceeded the payments, and at the close of the
year these governments had smaller net indebtedness
than at the beginning.
On the other hand, in the
case of smaller civil
divisions, and especially the large
cities, the situation was reversed, and the payments
for expenditures exceeded the revenue
receipts, causing

THE MUNICIPAL BOND SALES OF 1906.

Several years ago, beginning with the bond transac¬
tions of 1901, we commenced publishing a detailed

analysis of the municipal bond sales for the calendar
year.
In continuance of that practice we furnish at
the end of this article a very elaborate and compre¬
hensive statement dealing with the municipal bond
disposals for the twelve months of 1906—their distri¬
bution among the different States and geographical
divisions, the purposes for which issued, the rates of
interest they bear, &c. The statement occupies a full
page.
The usefulness of such compilations, especially
now that the record extends back several
deal
years, will

receipts of the National, State and

be obvious to everyone.
It may be a surprise to hear, in view of the

stringency
market during the year, that the aggre¬
gate of the bond sales for 1906 exceeds the correspond¬
ing aggregate for 1905. Altogether, the disposals in
the late year (excluding temporary loans, which have
no place in such a record) reached
$201,743,346 as
against $1S3,0S0,023 in 1905. But it appears on
examination that of the 1906 output $23,884,232 was
for refunding as against only $16,701,430 for
refunding
in 1905, leaving the net-addition
$177,S59,114 in 1906
against $166,378,593 in 1905—an increase of only
$11,500,000. It should be noted, furthermore, that
New York City alone is responsible for more than the
whole of this increase, having put out $57,052,175 of
new bonds in 1906 as
against $41,210,934 in 1905.
In treating of the state of the
municipal bond market
during 1906 it is well to remember that conditions
were unfavorable, not so much because of the
inability
to find buyers for such obligations
as because buyers
insisted on getting higher rates of interest.
New York
City itself furnishes a typical and a striking instance
of the truth of this statement.
The city had to
abandon 3^2% issues because these could no
longer
be floated at. par; it accordingly raised its rate of
interest to 4%. At the higher figure it succeeded in
placing more bonds than in the previous year. But
the cost of the money to it kept almost
steadily rising
throughout 1906. At the February sale of $20,000,000
4s, the interest basis, calculated on the price
received,
was 3.65%; at the
July sale of $11,029,100 the interest
basis was 3.94%; the $4,500,000 bonds floated in
November were negotiated on a basis of
3.91%, and
the $9,800,000 placed in December wrent at from 3.93
to 3.9S%.
Altogether, the city’s public disposals
were $45,329,100, besides which
$11,723,075 were sold
of the money

to the

city's own sinking funds, giving the total of
$57,052,175. In 1905, the public disposals were
$37,500,000 and the sinking fund takings $3,710,934.
Cincinnati also put out a much larger amount of
bonds in 1906, its new issues in that year having aggre¬
gated $9,302,132 against only $3,662,077 in 1905.
Chicago and its sanitary and park districts placed
$5,500,000 in 1906 against only $3,500,000 in 1905.
Pittsburgh emitted $2,500,000 against $2,000,000.
On the other hand, Boston placed only $5,162,350
against $8,584,700; Los Angeles $287,500 against
$1,700,000; and San Francisco $324,000 against
$2,573,800. The latter city, as is known, was visited
by an earthquake. It offered bonds repeatedly the
latter part of the year, but as they bore no more than
3%% interest, did not succeed in disposing of any of
them; the $324,000 placed were sold early in the year.
Philadelphia emitted no bonds in either year and St.
Louis placed none in 1906 against $1,000,000 in 1905.
The most noteworthy characteristic of the year, as
already intimated, was the further advance in interest
rates.
The tendency towards higher rates was noted
in previous years, but it remained for 1906 to show the
movement in its most pronounced form.
Not only
are 3% issues disappearing from the list but 3%s are
also fast vanishing. Out of the $201,743,346 bonds
put out in 1906, only $16,730,531 were 3s and $19,419,650 were 3J^s, making together but little over
36 millions, or 17.92% of the whole.
Furthermore,
of the 3s, $11,723,075 represent takings by the New
York City sinking funds, which are not governed by
money market conditions.
The predominant rate of
interest in municipal bonds now is 4%.
Of the $201,743,346 bonds issued in 1906, no less than $120,130,280
bore that rate, being 59.55% of the whole.
Five
years before, in 1901, the 4s formed only IS.45% of
the total.
On the other hand, the 3s and the 3}4s
then aggregated 65.54% of the whole, as against but
17.92% in 1906. Nothing could illustrate more strik¬
ingly the change which has occurred in this respect
than these comparisons.
In order to indicate in a
graphic way the rise in interest rates, we furnish the
following, covering the years 1906,1905,1903 and 1901.

pointed out by us on previous occasions, the 1904
aggregate was raised to exceptional proportions by
special circumstances and influences.

In 1903

con¬

ditions in the financial world had to a considerable ex¬
tent interfered with the placing of new issues and as a
consequence many

municipalities deferred

reduced

or

their borrowings, with the result that the offerings in
1904 were correspondingly increased.
Then, also,
several large cities, in particular New York, were in
the market in 1904 as borrowers for unusual amounts, in

part as a result of the difficulty in placing bonds in 1903.
The greater part of the bond issues is still supplied

by the North Atlantic tier of States, comprising the
New England States, together with New York, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania. In 1906, out of the $201,743,346 bonds placed, $106,695,964 came from that
group.
The North Central Division, which comprises
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minne¬
sota, Iowa, Missouri, the two Dakotas and Nebraska
and Kansas, stands next in importance, being account¬
able for $55,429,660 of new bonds. The other parts
of the country furnish relatively small contributions,
and the South Atlantic group especially is to be cred¬
ited with a very small amount—only $6,642,880.

sewerage and drainage, schools and school buildings,
and public buildings generally.
Under these five
heads the new issues in 1906 aggregated $136,034,202,

that after apportioning the
heads, an aggregate of
$21,659,911 remains in 1906 under the designation “Mis¬
cellaneous.” This comprises mainly bonds issued for
special purposes, like the dock bonds and the rapid
transit bonds of this city—purposes not of sufficiently
common occurrence to warrant our providing an extra
column for the same in our full-page compilation.
A
footnote to that table gives the leading items that go

New York
City bonds when offered for sale are now all described
(excepting in the case of rapid transit bonds, water
bonds and assessment bonds) as being “for various

given in the foregoing tables, it

appears that though the bond sales for 1906 exceeded
those for 1905, they fell far short of those for 1904.
In other words, while the grand total of the sales for
1906 was $201,743,346, and for 1905 $183,080,023,
for 1904 the amount was $250,754,946.^. But, as has

Our

figures, as in previous years, deal only with
municipal issues of a permanent character—such as
bv their nature constitute a real addition to the debt
of the municipality.
We rigidly exclude floating debt

obligations and everything of a temporary nature, and
we also take great care to avoid duplications or the
inclusion of loans that do not belong in the footings.
As the best explanation of our reasons for excluding
floating debt obligations, we may refer to the case of
this city, which during 1906 issued no less than $145,982,244 of temporary obligations in anticipation of
taxes, but redeemed the greater part of these same
obligations before the close of the year, or at least
retired $136,484,974 of such obligations during the
twelve months. We also omit from our totals bond
issues made by Canadian municipalities and by the
island possessions of the United States.
In order that
the reader may know what the grand aggregate of the
sales for the twelve months would be with all these
various items included, we will say that the total in
that event would be over 408 million dollars. Actual

municipal bond sales for the twelve months within the
territorial limits of the United States were, we have
seen, $201,743,346; the temporary loans reached $175,209,910; sales by Canadian municipalities were $15,241,520; Philippine and Manila bonds, $4,750,000
general fund bonds of New York City, $11,750,000,
giving a grand total of $408,694,776.

and

Its

History,

following is a statement of the debt of the United States past and present. To add to its usefulness we give refer¬
authorizing each of the issues of bonds outstanding to-day, and likewise, so far as we deem it needful,

to the laws

citations from those laws.
All our figures, except

when otherwise noted, represent the status at the close of business June 30 or the beginning of
July 1 of each fiscal year. To conform to that feature and yet furnish information through which any reader
can
always have the data for a correct exhibit of the debt situation at any past or future day, and make an accurate com¬
parison with previous years, we present, first, the details as they stood at the close of the last fiscal year ending June 30 1906;
second, the changes in those details since June 30 1900 down to Apr. 1 1907; third, the items of interest-bearing debt, &c.f
at the beginning of each fiscal
year since'July 1 1878; fourth, we publish in the “Chronicle” every month—usually the first
or second
Saturday—the full detailed Government statement of the debt as reported by the Treasurer on the last day of
the previous month; some months lack of space forces us to delay the
publication to a later week.
With these data at his command, it would seem as if any inquirer could satisfy himself fully
with reference to every
point which might become of importance for him to know respecting the United States debt.

(June 30 1906), we have the net debt as it stood at the close of the last fiscal year. $964,435,686 79. To bring down the
interest-bearing debt to Apr. 1 1907—which, as stated, was $895,159,140 on June 30 1906—we must deduct from the Refund¬

There was no direct tax for State purposes levied in either
1903, 1004 or
1905. A tax of $1 30 per $1,000, however,
consisting of a State school tax of
80 cents and a State highway tax of 50 cents was collected
and re-distributed
to towns on a basis of the number of schools and road
mileage, the State,
for the sake of equalizing Its distribution,

Prior to 1902 this tax was $1 per $1,000.

LIMITATIONS.—There appears to be nothing In the Constitu¬
in the Statutes of Vermont providing for a general limit to the debt¬

Whatever In each case the Legislature
authorizes, the city, town, county or other civil division can Issue. Of course
the purpose of the Improvement must be of a public character.
Railroad

of any one bank; and no such Investments shall be made In the capital stock
of any suen banks, owned or loaned upon, to exceed In the aggregate onefourth of the deposits of any savings bank, savings Institution or trust com¬

A town which has outstanding and unpaid orders,
or coupons lawfully Issued, may issue other negotiable notes or
bonds to pay or retire the same.

SECTIONS 3112 to 3115, Inclusive, give the method of Issuing such bonds.

By Section 3116 municipal corporations other than towns have the same
refunding powers granted them which are conferred upon towns by the two
sections last above cited.
A town, city or Incorporated village may Issue bonds
to an amount not exceeding three times its grand list, for the purpose of
purchasing road-making apparatus and for building permanent highways
within the limits of such town, city or village.

Sections 3119 and 3120 provide for the method of Issuing such bonds.
The only other section which we need quote Is Section 3083 of Chapter
139, which names the objects for which towns may vote money.
If money
Is appropriated for any other object, the Charter or a special statute must
be looked to for the authority.
SECTION 3083.
Towns may vote such sums of money as they deem
necessary for the support of the poor, for laying out and repairing highways,
for the prosecution and defense of the common rights and Interests of the
Inhabitants, and for other necessary incidental town expenses.

SAVINGS
BANK
INVESTMENTS AND
RESTRICTIONS—In the
Revised Statutes of Rhode Island (which were revised in 1896) Sections
54, 55, 56, &c. of Chapter 178, Title 19 (on page 548), will be found the

provisions of law with reference to Savings Bank Investments,
Section
54, which recites in detail the stocks bonds, &c., these institutions are
allowed to put their money in, is as follows:
SECTION 54. Institutions for savings shall
Invest their receipts'—-(1) In public stocks or bonds of
any State or of the United States,
(2) Or in any bank stock, or in notes or bonds of
any town or city,
(3) Or in notes of any school district or lire
district in any New England
State,

-

,

Or in such corporate stocks or
bonds

as

they

may deem safe and

(5) Or they may discount notes, bonds or
drafts of individuals or cor¬
porations, witii two other responsible endorsers, sureties
or guarantors
(6) Or the notes, bonds or drafts of individuals or
by the public notes, stocks or bonds of any State of corporations secured
the United States, or
of any town or city or of
any school district or tire district in
any New
England State, or by the stock or bonds of
any corporation which may bo
deemed to be safe, or by mortgage on real
estate
Concerning Sections 55 and 56, the first appears to give
savings institu¬
tions quite extensive powers as to
making and keeping deposits in com¬
mercial banks.
When so kept, however., they are to be
kept “payable on
demand whether drawing Interest or not.”
The two sections are sub¬

joined.

SECTTON 55.

3,881

No such institution shall have an
amount exceeding onereceipts invested In notes, bonds or drafts of individuals
or cor¬
porations, unless secured by some public notes bonds or
stocks as afore¬
said, or by mortgage on real estate; but the
preceding section shall not be
so construed as to forbid
any such institution from
deposit in any bank such reasonable amount of their placing and holding on
receipts as is customary
and they may deem
proper, payable on demand, whether
drawing Interest
or not.

As to towns, we notice that there is a
general law
power to issue bonds.
According to Section

granting them unlimited
1931, Chapter 121 of the

j
t

Revised Statutes of 1902, “when
any town shall have made appropriations
incurred debts, or shall hereafter make
appropriations or Incur debts
exceeding $10,000, It may Issue bonds, either registered or with
coupons
attached, or other obligations, payable at such times and at such
annual
rate of Interest not
exceeding 6%, payable annually or semi-annually, as it
shall determine,” &c.
Cities have had no such general
authority conferred
upon them.

TAX

EXEMPTION.—Exemption

from Taxation has been accorded by
by cities and towns to aid In the
construction of railroads; and this
exemption has been extended to new
bonds Issued for the purpose of
redeeming or providing a fund to redeem
the railroad aid bonds above referred
to.
This exemption is found in
Section 2315, Chapter 144 of the Revised
Statutes of 1902 (latter part of
Section), and the bonds there named are those "issued
by any town or
city in aid of the construction of the railroads of the
Connecticut Western
Railroad Company, the New Haven Middletown
& Willlmantlc Railroad
Company, tHe Shepaug Valley Railroad Company, the Connecticut
Valley
Railroad Co., tHe Connecticut Central Railroad
Company, or either of
them.”
All railroads which are In whole or In
part In the State are taxed
by the State under Section 2424, Chapter 147 of the Revised
Statutes, so
that the tax on these bonds Is
paid by the railroads.
Exemption from tax of new bonds Issued to redeem or to provide a fund
to
redeem the railroad aid bonds, or to redeem or to
provide a fund to redeem
any reissue of the same, Is conferred fully by an Act
approved June 19 1889,
and found In the Revised Statutes of
1902, Section 2315, Chapter 144.

VESTMENTS—PRI VI LEGES AND RESTRIC¬
TIONS.—At the session In 1899 material
changes were made In the pro¬
visions regulating the Investment of the

Connecticut, and at the sessions in 1901, in 1903 and In 1905
the scope of
such investments was still further
enlarged.
One of the departures In the
1903 amendments was that street
railway bonds were then included for the
first time, and the list was still further
enlarged In 1905.

CITIES, COUNTIES AND TOWNS IN THE

STATE OF CONNECTICUT.
NOTE.—For debts of minor civil divisions not found among the statements
given below, see “Additional Statements” at the end of this State.
The relation which the towns, cities and boroughs of this State bear to
another is peculiar, and requires a word of explanation.
The State
is divided into eight counties, and these counties are made
up of towns,
numbering in the aggregate 168. The towns are the civil unit, and oil the
assessed valuation (which is called the "Grand List of each
town”) is
levied the tax for State purposes as well as the tax for town
expenditures.
Within the town is often situated a city or a borough,
or both, all of which
may at the same time have bonds outstanding.
There are ten cities,
each, with one exception, bearing the same name as the town in which It
lies,
in recent years several town's and cities whose limits were about
Identical have been consolidated and the outstanding bonds of both town
and city are reported together without distinction.
This is the case with
the city and town of Hartford, which previous to April 1896
reported their
debts separately.
The city and town of New London have been consoli¬
dated, as have also the city and town of New Britain and the city and town
of Bridgeport.
On December 7 1897 city, town and school district of New
Haven were likewise consolidated.
The borough stands in about the same relation to the town as does the
city.
The grand list as deterndned for the town is used by both the city
and the borough In levying taxes, the city, for
instance, putting a tax of
its own on its share of the total grand list of the town.
This tax is addi¬
tional to the town tax.
In some instances the schools are in the
charge of
school districts, which also are empowered to issue bonds and to
levy a
tax, so that to cover the total tax paid by a city it is necessary to take into
account the State, town, city and school district levies.
In the statements
which follow we give under one heading the town and city,
wherever they
bear the same name, for though distinct corporations, their debts are to a
greater or less extent the debts of a single community.

of April 1894, page 41.
During a period of eleven years ending In 1893 the State debt was paid
at tlie average of 51,900,000 per year, and practically wiped out.
At the November eleetlon in 1895 the proposition to issue bonds of the
State to the amount of 59,000,000, for the purpose of enlarging and Im¬
•

proving the Erie Canal, the Champlain Canal

and the Oswego Canal, was

submitted to the voters and carried.
These bonds were all Issued, but
51,770,000 have been redeemed, leaving outstanding Oct. 1 1900 57,230,00-0.
In 1903 a further issue of 5101,000,000 canal bonds was authorized and up
to date 58.000,000 of these bonds have been sold.

was water-debt
sinking fund.
The above debt does not include
assessment
bonds amounting to
$31,022.
WATER BONDS.—The interest and
principal
of
the
water-works
bonds
are provided for
by the Water Department from water
rents.
ASSESSED VALUATION.— By
provisions of Chapter 550, Laws of
1901, the taxable personal estate of shareholders
in banks was relieved from
city taxation, bank shares being now’
subject only to a tax of 1% for all
purposes, which tax is collected by the
County Treasurer, and a share of
the same returned to the
city in cash.
This accounts for the reduction in
persona! property in 1901.
The assessment since 1885 has
been made
on a basis of about
full value.

financial officer of the State

TOTAL DEBT.—With the exception of $116,000 certiilcates Issued to
the Commissioners of the Agricultural College under Act approved June
13 1895, the State is now clear from debt, and has been since Jan. 1 1902.

ASSESSED VALUATION.—The assessed valuation for a series of years
has been as below.
Under new tax laws the assessment for 1906 will be
made at supposed full value—a much higher basis than In former years.
For this reason the valuations of New Jersey municipalities wherever re¬
ported for 1906 show large increases over the figures for 1905.

LIMITATIONS.—The provisions of law limiting and regulating
the debt-making power in New Jersey will be better understood and the
information will be made more serviceable to the Investor if arranged In
accordance witli the civil divisions to which the provisions apply.
(1) THE STATE is restricted as to Its debt-making power by the State
Constitution.
In Article IV, Section VI, paragraphs 3 and 4
the whole

The third paragraph forbids a loan of the State’s
forbids the creation of debt.
These pro¬

subject Is disposed of.

credit and the fourth paragraph
visions are as follows:

The credit of the State shall not be directly or

3.

Indirectly loaned In any

case.

4. The Legislature shall not In any manner create any debt or debts,
liability or liabilities of the State, which shall singly or in the aggregate
with any previous debts or liabilities at any time exceed one hundred thouand dollars, except for purposes of war, or to repel invasion, or to suppress
nsurrectlon, unless the same shall be authorized by a law for some single
object of work, to be distinctly specified therein; which law shall provide
the ways and means, exclusive of loans, to pay the interest of such debt
or liability as it falls due, and also to pay and discharge the principal of
such debt or liability within thirty-five years from the time of the contract¬
ing thereof, and shall be irrepealable until such debt or liability and the in¬
terest thereon are fully paid and discharged; and no such law shall take
elTect until It shall, at a general election, have been submitted to the people,
and have received the sanction of a majority of all tlie votes cast for and
against It at such election; and all money to be raised by the authority of
such law shall be applied only to the specific object stated therein, and to
the payment of the debt thereby created.
Tills section shall not be con¬

that has been, or may be, deposited with
of the United States.
According to the foregoing (4th paragraph), the power of the State for
making debt is limited to $100,000, except (1) for purposes of war, &c.,
and (2) when the authorization is for some single object of work speciiied
In the latter case the mode of procedure is, as will be seen,
therein, &c.
given In the same paragraph of the Constitution#
(2) CITIES, CO UNTIES. TO BUYS, &c., are also restricted in the making
of certain kinds of debt by Article I, paragraphs 19 and 20, of tlie Consti¬
tution.
We give tiie paragraph In full.
19. No county, city, borough, town, township or village shall hereafter
give any money or property, or loan its money or credit, to or in aid of
any individual, association or corporation, or become security for or be
directly or Indirectly the owner of any stock or bonds of any association
or corporation.
20. No donation of land or appropriation of money shall be made by the
State or any municipal corporation to or for the use of any society, associa¬
tion or corporation whatever.
It will be noted that the above prohibition relates to the giving of money,
property or credit of cities, &e., to Individuals, associations, or corpora¬
tions, fee., and that tlie prohibition is absolute, forbidding the doing of
such acts in any form, shape or manner.
There, is one other restriction of
the State Constitution, and that is found in Article l\\. Section VII.,
strued to refer to any money
this State by the Government

paragraph 11. which forbids the Legislature passing any special laws “regu¬
lating the internal a'fairs of towns and counties”-, in this and in all other
cases in which according to the judgment of the Legislature general laws arc
feasible, the Constitution states that general laws must lie provided.
In complance with this last provision tlie Legislature lias passed many
general laws covering bonded indebtedness of cities, towns. &e.
They are
so numerous they cannot be cited here.
We would refer the reader to the
Revised Statutes of New Jersey published in 1896 under the heading

“Municipal Bonds,’’ pages 693 to 716 both inclusive; and also to the same
heading ("Municipal Bonds”) pages 2220, &c.
In 1904 a law was passed limiting the power of cities to issue bonds to
15 % of tlie taxable value of real and personal property.
Tills Act also
defines tlie method of issuing bonds.
See V. 78, p. 1563, for bill in full.
ATTORNEY-GENERAL TO APPROVE SCHOOL BONDS.—The school
law

passed at the special session of tlie

Legislature convened Oct

15 1903

provides that whenever any bonds are authorized by townships, incor¬
porated town or borough school districts, tlie district clerk must transmit
certliied copies of the record of proceedings to the State Attorney-General
for his approval as to the legality of the same.
TAX EXEMPTION.—Tiie State of New Jersey passed in 1893 a general
from taxation tiie bonds, securities and other evi¬
dences of Indebtedness of municipal corporations; tiie provision covers not
statute which exempts

only the bonds, &c., to be hereafter issued, but those as well that have
been heretofore Issued.
It is a sweeping statute, and one which is of de¬
cided Interest to the holders of the municipal securities of the State.

full text of It may be found

we believe, entitled to the distinction of
starting the
first savings institution in the United
States.
The name this association
bore was the “Philadelphia
Savings Fund Society.” and It still
exists,
bearing the same name.
Originally the bank was not Incorporated, but
was a voluntary organization
such societies In Great Britain
being at the
time of a like character.
The date of the organization was
November
27 181G, and the bank was opened for
business Dec. 2 1816.
The oldest
ledger of the company goes back to the time of
opening, and shows a de¬
posit on that day (December 2 18J6» of five dollars.
The company was not
Incorporated until February 20 1819.
The second savings institution In
the State, however, did not come Into existence
until 1847.
In J889 a
genera] law facilitating the incorporation of
savings banks was-passed by
the Legislature.
Still, the report of the Banking
Department shows that
In November 1906 the total number of
savings banks within the State
was only ten.
The aggregate deposits of these banks at
that date was
$151 ,246,468.
'The provisions of the special charters are all
liberal as to investments.
A law passed in 1880, and a
supplement of the same passed In J889, au¬

the General Assembly have the power In any mode to
Involve the State In
the construction of works of Internal
improvement, nor In granting any
aid thereto which shall Involve the faith or credit

No
general limit for cities and towns has been llxed by the
Legislature, nor Is
there any general authorization to be found In the
statutes under which
cities and towns can Issue bonds.
This power Is lodged In the
Legislature,
and Is delegated to the municipalities from time to
time for specific purposes
as the occasion may arise.
It Is necessary, therefore, for the Investor to
study the law In each case on this as well as on other points

borrow money, receive money on
deposit, loan money, taking such security therefor, cither real or personal, as the Board
of Directors may deem
"sufficient, provided that no part of the funds of said
corporation shall be
loaned to an officer or director thereof.”
We cannot discover any marked difference In
the.two provisions cited,
except that the enactment in the case of the new Baltimore bank
states
distinctly that the security can be either real or personal.
But as much
as that would, we think,
be assumed as authorized under the general
pro¬
vision, slrfce no limit is made and loaning on bond and
mortgage Is always
a legitimate
part of the business of savings banks.

special charter was granted Incorporating the
Germania Savings Bank of Baltimore.
However, in both the general
and special laws there
appears to be a pretty general authority granted for
Investing the deposits. The general law states that—
Any savings Institution Incorporated under this article shall be
capable
of receiving from
any person or persons, or bodies corporate or politic,
any
deposit of money which shall be invested or loaned out on good
security in the
discretion of the directors; provided that no
part of the funds of said cor¬
poration shall be loaned to any officer or director of such
corporation.
In the special law
passed in 1890, which we have referred to above, the
power to loan the deposits Is made a little more
definite.
The section re¬
ferring to that subject states that the “corporation shall have

On July 1 1878 the duties of the
trict of Columbia were transferred Sinking Fund Commissioners of the Dis¬
to the Treasurer of the
United States,
and since that date Congress has
appropriated annually a sum sufficient to
pay not only the interest on the District’s
bonds,
but also, it is believed,
sufficient to extinguish the entire debt of the
District upon the maturity
Of the 3.65% loan, in 1924.

nto three grades and the second class being subdivided Into four grades,
the grade being determined by population according to the last Federal
Census. In addition many special laws found their way on to the statute
books, nominally general In their scope but really so worded as to apply to
only one city.
In June 1902, however, the State. Supreme Court handed
down several decisions declaring such laws special legislation and therefore
unconstitutional.
The decisions were considered to be of such broad ap¬
plication that the Governor called an extra session of the Legislature
for the purpose of framing a new general municipal code.
The extra
session convened Aug. 25 1902 and after a session of nearly two months
passed a new “municipal code”—a document loo lengthy to quote in these
columns.
We would refer our readers, therefore, to pages 994 and 995 of

of both the State and Its municipalities to

FIRST, as to the State, Section 5 of Article 10 provides that no debt
except to meet casual deficits In revenue, to pay Interest, to repel Inva¬
sion. <Sec., can be contracted.
The section In full Is subjoined.

9*

INDIANA—CITIES AND TOWNS

CREATTONOF DEBT FORBIDDEN.—No law shall authorize any debt
to be contracted on behalf of the State except In the
following cases: To
meet casual deficits In the revenue; to pay interest on State
debt; to
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,
tion

seems

as to

municipalities, the provision contained in the Constitu¬
equally clear and emphatic, and, as will be found, lixe«

to be

the limit at 2% of the valuation.

It Is Article 13 of that instrument (an
amendment to the 1851 Constitution adopted March 14 1881) which relates
to this subject, and we give the article in full below.

It should be said in connection with the above that several laws have
been enacted since the foregoing constitutional limit was
adopted (March
14 1881), and bonds have been issued by counties thereunder
beyond the 2%

limit, for the construction of "free gravel, stone or other macadamized
roads.”
Several such laws were*passed at the 1899 session of the

Legisla¬
Cox, Treas., Ill Ind., the Supreme

But In the case of Strleb vs.
Court of Indiana held that gravel road bonds are not properly indebtedness
of the county—hence do not come within the inhibition of Section 13 of the
Constitution.
(See editorial In "State and City Supplement” for October
ture.

1899, page 3.)

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:

COrXTIES CANNOT TAKE STOCK.—No county shall subscribe for
stock in any Incorporated company unless the same be
paid for at the time
of such subscription; nor shall any county loan Its credit to
any incorporated
company, nor borrow money for the purpose of taking stock in any such
company; nor shall the General Assembly ever on behalf of tlie 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,
Consequently the Legislature was at liberty to author¬
subscribe to the stock of railroads, as it did by a general law

only to counties.

Other laws

a

passed at other dates.
We no¬
law, too (Section 5377, Burns’s Annotated Statutes, revision 1901),
which authorizes counties bordering on the State line, or
any township or
city situated in such county, to subscribe for railroad stock.
In that law
no attempt is made to endow counties with
power to Issue bonds for this
purpose (thus obeying the mandate of the Constitution), though by the
succeeding section (Section 5378) cities are given authority to issue such
tice

COUNTIES

apparently restricted by statute to .a lower than the
Constitutional limit of 2% in the matter of creating certain kinds of debt.
For Instance, Section 7834 of Burns’s Annotated Statutes,
1901, 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% on assessed valuation and Issue bonds therefor, provided that no
second or subsequent loan shall be made or authorized so
long as any
are

former loan made under the provisions of the Act shall remain
unpaid.
From Section 7920 it appears, moreover, that whenever the
ayyreyate in¬
debtedness, funded or otherwise, of any county having a voting population
of over 20,000 amounts to or exceeds 1%, it is not lawful to
increase such

Indebtedness in

form except only by temporary loans in
anticipation of the revenue of the then current fiscal year and not exceed¬
any

ing two-thirds of the

manner

or

amount of the county tax

duplicate of the preceding

year.
Limit of 1% may

be exceeded in counties for funding purposes in certain
Indebtedness In 1879 exceeded 1% (see Burns’s
Revised Statutes, 1901, Section 7918); also for temporary loans
(see Burns’s
Revised Statutes, 1901, Section 7920).
where the aggregate

Also (if the laws that have been passed are
constitutional), the limit
of 2% may be exceeded for the purpose of making gravel roads (see
above),
the Supreme Court having decided that gravel road bonds are not
properly
an indebtedness of the county.
By statute the limit for such bonds (Sec¬
tion 0910) is 4 %.
In addition to the foregoing, general statutes have been
passed by the
Legislature granting general powers to cities and towns to issue bonds for
legitimate corporate purposes, subject, however, to the Constitutional

limit of 2% on valuation.
But we have not the space to set out here the
or the details of the other legislation applicable to cities of
larger
and smaller population, and covering specific
purposes, such as water-works,
&c.

The matter of the amount of bonds that
might be issued t-n the basis of
the debt limitations given has been
complicated in late years by changes In
tile method of assessing
property.
A letter of the State Auditor in V. 74.
p. 741, throws some light on these changes."

LEGISLATURE meets biennially In odd years on the
Wednesday after
the lirst Monday In January, and there Is no limit to
length of sessions.

HISTORY OF DEBT.—The historical details of the State
debt of Illinois
from 1829 to 1870. when the debt was all
paid off, will be found In the “State
and City Supplement” of April 1801,
page 01.

WATER CERTIFICATES IN EXCESS OF DEBT LIMIT.—A law
was
passed In 1899 allowing cities bonded to their legal limit to issue (for the
Improvement of water-works) certificates against the earnings of the Water
Department without regard to the bonded indebtedness.
Several municl.
palities are understood to have taken advantage of this law.
In the case
of the City of Joliet, however, which
attempted to issue bonds under the
law, tlie matter was taken into the courts in a test suit, and an
Injunction
granted by Judge Dibell, who held that the 5"o limit could not be
exceededYF. 73, p. 94.
This decision was confirmed by Supreme Court. V.74.

BONDED DEBT. —This State has no bonded
debt, except $17,500 bonds
which have ceased to draw Interest, but have
not j et been surrendered for
payment.

EQUALIZED VALUATION.—The total equalized valuation has

HISTORY OF DEBT.—The historical details of
Michigan’s State debt
up to 1894 will be found In the “State and
City Supplement” of April 1894,
In 1864 the State Treasurer
page 98.
reported the funded debt at $3,880,399 and $1,450,472 additional
“trust
fund debt.”
The State has no
bonded debt at present.
The “trust fund debt” on June 30 1906 amounted
to $6,779,805 12.
The term “trust fund debt”
Is, however, a misnomer.
In explanation it should be said that
the United States-Government set
aside certain lands in the State of
Michigan
for
educational purposes, and
under the Michigan statutes the
money received from the sale of these
lands is used to pay the general
expenses of the State: the law provides,
however, that a certain specified rate of Interest must
be annually figured
on the total amount
accumulated from said sales and be
paid over to the
educational institutions specified.
The amount of Interest to be so
paid
is raised

LIMITATION.—Michigan,

as noted in our history of the State’s
.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
Legis¬
lature to go to work at once and make
provision for "ascertaining the
proper objects of Improvement In relation to
roads, canals and navigable
waters.” that tlie money might be raised and
these Improvements might
be prosecuted with as little
delay as possible.
That was the spirit which ruled and tlie
condition which prevailed In
In 1850 Michigan made and
1837.
adopted another Constitution.
During
the years which Intervened the
people had gained a wide experience and
had evidently profited
by it.
Hence we find them at the latter date
showing
a purpose to make an
instrument In Its financial features about as d'ssimllar

debt, started Its

career

as

a

“

from the

one

It

was

to

supplant as it could well be.
Nothing will Illustrate
change in spirit and purpose more clearly than the
following limitations
respecting the creation of State indebtedness which were
Inserted.
These
this

sections

are

all found In Article 14 of the 1850

tution is still in force.

Constitution, which

Consti¬

SECTION 3.
The State may contract debts to
meet deficits In revenue.
Such debts shall not in the
aggregate at any one time exceed
fifty thousand
dollars.
The moneys so raised shall be
applied to the purposes for which
they were obtained or to the payment of the
debts so contracted.
SECTION 4.
Tiie State may-contract debts to
repel invasion, suppress
insurrection or defend the State in time of
war.
The money arising from
the contracting of sucli debts
shall be applied to the
purpose for which it
was raised or
to-pay such debts.
SECTION 6.
The credit of the State shall
not
be
granted to or in aid
of any persons, association or
corporation.
SECTION 7.
No scrip, certificate or other
evidence
of State Indebted¬
ness shall be issued
except for the redemption of stock
or for such debts as are
previously Issued
expressly authorized in this Constitution.
SECTION 8.
The State shall not subscribe
to or be Interested in the
stock of any company, association
or corporation.
SECTION 9. The State shall not be a
party' to. or interested in. any’- work
of internal Improvement, nor
engage in carrying on any suoh work
in the expenditure of grants
except
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:
SECTION 13. The Legislature shall
provide for the incorporation and
organization of cities and villages, and shall
restrict their powers of taxa¬
tion, borrowing money, contracting debts and
loaning their credit.
In the exercise of the
power granted by tills section the
Legislature;has
passed general laws governing the
incorporation, taxation and bonding of
cities and villages.
The provisions, however, are too
t feasible to summarize them
here.

HISTORY OF DEBT.—A brief summary of the
early history of the Wis¬
consin debt will be found in the “State and
City Supplement” for April 1895.
The bonded debt of the State, created for war
purposes in 1861-63, has
all been paid or else converted into
certificates of Indebtedness, which are
held by the various trust funds.
The amounts due the several
funds in
March 1907 were as follows:

SECTION 4. Contracting debts. The
Statefshall Tneverjcontract any
public debt, except In the eases and manner
herein provided.
SECTION 6. Limitation on public debt.
For the
extraordinary expenditures, the State may contract purpose of defraying
public debts (but such
debts shall never in the
aggregate exceed $100,000).
Every such debt shall
be 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
law:
and every such law shall provide for
levying an annual tax sufficient to
the annual interest of such
debt, and the principal within five years from pay
the
passage of such law, and shall specially
appropriate the proceeds of such
taxes to the payment of such
principal
and
interest,
and
such
aporopriatlon
shall not be repealed, nor the
taxes be postponed, or
diminished, until the
principal and interest of such debt shall have been
wholly
paid.
SECTION 7. State mag borrow
money, when. The Legislature may*also
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.
SECTION 9. Evidences of debt.
No scrip, certificate or other
evidence
of State debt whatsoever shall
be Issued,
for such debts as are au¬
thorized by the sixth and seventh sections except
of this article.
SECTION 10. Internal improvements—
avails of grants. The State shall
never contract any debt for works
of Internal
Improvement, or be a party In
carrying on such works; but whenever grants of
land or other property shall
have been made to the
State, especially dedicated by the grant to particular
works of Internal improvement, the
State may carry on such particular
works, and shall devote thereto the avails of such
grants, and may pledge or
appropriate the revenues derived from such works in aid of
their completion.
(2) CITIES, counties, towns, villages,
Ac., were unrestricted except by
legislative enactment until 1874. Since that amendment was
adopted 5 %
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 in¬
terest 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.

Under date Feb. 18 1903 the
City
Attorney Issued a circular
letter setting forth at length the situation as
it then stood.
The main fea¬
tures of tills statement will be found In V.
76, p. 770.
We are advised that
net only has the Supreme Court of Wisconsin
decided that the Improvement
bonds are not a general city liability,
being payable only from assessments
on property benellted. but also
that the Federal Court of the
Western
District of Wisconsin has also rendered a
similar decision In the case of
the White River Savings Bank vs. the
City
of Superior.
A
decision
was
handed down In the U. S. Circuit Court of
Appeals In October 1904 in the
suit of H. L. Jewell of Chicago to recover on
some $15,090 of these
assess¬
ment bonds.
The Court held the city liable
only for the amount of assess¬
ments collected, less Interest oaid on
bonds.
See V. 79, p. 2107.
Refund¬
ing operations have been in progress, and up to Alarch 1
1907 5 and 6 % bonds
to the amount of $750,334 had been
exchanged for a like amount of 3

Indebtedness at the olfice of the State Treasurer.
TOTAL DEBT.—On Jan. 1 1907 the total bonded
debt of the State was
$600,000, and of this amount $236,000 of State bonds was held in various
Minnesota State funds.
On the same date there was
outstanding $2,850,000
certificates of Indebtedness, of which all but $10,000 was held
in the State
Funds.
PERMANENT SCHOOL FUND.—The Investments of the school
fund
on Aug. 1 1906 amounted to $17,824,135.

DEBT LIMITATION.—Minnesota has protected the
State from extrava¬
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 amend¬
ment. ratified in 1879, extended this power to $250,000
additional “for

erecting and completing buildings for the Insane, a deaf, dumb and blind
asylum, and State prison.”
Besides the foregoing, It is also provided that
the State credit shall not be loaned, &e.
With regard to the debt of
municipalities there is but one section in the Constitution which relates to
that subject, and that has reference to making railroad
debt.,
FIRST, as to State indebtedness, the sections which treat of the
subject
are in article ft, sections 5, 6, 7, 8 and
14.
SECTION

5.

(Public Debt

May Be Contracted.)
For the purpose of
defraying extraordinary expenditures, the State may contract public
debts,
but such debts shall never, in the aggregate, exceed two
hundred and fifty
thousand dollars; every such debt shall be authorized
by lawr 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 two-thirds of the
members of
each branch of the Legislature, to be recorded by the
yeas and nays on the
lournals of each House, respectively; and every such law shall
levy a tax,
annually, sufficient to pay the annual Interest on 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
^axes to the payment of such principal and
interest; and such
and taxes shall not be repealed, postponed or diminished untilappropriation
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.

SECTION 6.—(Public Debt. How Contracted.)
All debts authorized by
the preceding section shall be contracted
by loan on State bonds of amounts
not less than five hundred dollars each, on
interest, payable within ten

The city had a sinking fund on Sept.l 1906 of $229,010.
The $136,750 of 6% village bonds are not strictly a liability of the
city, as they were issued by the village of Duluth under a special Act of the
Legislature which provides that the County Commissioners of St. Louis
County shall levy a special tax to pay the interest on them and provide a
sinking fund to meet them at maturity.
$2,746,000 of the total bonded debt is a special lien upon the city’s water
and light plant, the surplus earnings of which are applied to the payment
of the luterest

SINKING FUND.—It is provided by the city’s charter that In addition
raising a tax sufficient to pay the Interest on all its bonds, the city shall
levy a tax of one mill on each dollar of the assessed valuation to provide for
the principal of the bonds when due.
The maintenance of this sinking fund
for the payment of the principal of the bonds Is “declared to be part of the
contract with the holder of any bonds of the city that may hereafter be Is¬
sued and shall be kept Inviolate.’’
In accordance with this provision there
was raised by taxation for the sinking fund in 1905 $168,264.
The sinking
fun i Is largely Invested in bonds of the city of Minneapolis.
The city of Minneapolis is restricted in Its debt-making power to 5 % of
the assessed valuation after deducting the sinking fund from the debt; ex¬
to

ception Is made by Chapter 204, Laws of 1893. as amended by Chapter 128,
Lawscof 1895, wherein It is provided that debt created for the purchase of
water works shall be considered outside of the 5 % limit, and also that an ad¬
ditional 5 % debt may be created for certain purposes, provided the same
be authorized by a two-thirds vote of the people.
We have marked above
with a star (*) those Issues put out In excess of the 5 % limit.

up of a general State tax of $3 00, and the special

purposes.

DEBT LIMITATION.—Iowa’s Constitution
debt, both State debt and municipal debt.

FIRST,

restricts

the

creating of

municipal corporations at only 1 X % of the actual value of property therein
returned by the last tax list.
This change was made because, under a

as

revision of the Revenue Law which went Into effect In
1898, property Is now
appraised for taxation on a much higher basis than formerly.
In 1904

again in 1906 the Act

was

amended, the important sections

now

read¬

follows:

Section 1. That section thirteen hundred and slx-b (1306-b) of the
sup¬
plement to the code and chapter forty-three (43) of the Acts of the 30th
General Assembly Ik* and the same are hereby repealed, and the
following

enacted In lieu thereof:
“No county or other political or municipal
corporation shall be allowed
to become Indebted in any manner or for any
purpose to an amount exceed¬
ing in the aggregate the amount of one and one-fourth
per centum of the
actual value of the taxable property within such
county or corporation,
except that cities and incorporated towns may. for the purpose of purchas¬
ing. erecting or maintaining and operating waterworks, electric
light and
power plants, gas works and heating plants, or of building and
constructing
sewers, Incur an Indebtedness not exceeding in the aggregate, added to all
other indebtedness, five per centum of the actual value of the
taxable
property within such city or incorporated town.
The amount of such taxa¬
ble property shall be ascertained by the last State and
county tax list pre¬
vious to the incurring of such Indebtedness.

as to State

debt, the limitation made Is not absolute, for It
permits
other debt If authorized by some law for some
single specified work.
But
this permission Is very safely guarded—(1) the law must
provide for the col¬
lection of a direct annual tax sufficient to pay the interest
regularly and dis¬
charge the debt In twenty years; and (2) the law cannot take effect until It
has been submitted to the people at a
general election, and has received a
majority of the votes cast.
All the debt provisions
relating to the State
we give below:
ARTICLE 7, Section 1. [Limitation of State
indebtedness.] The credit of
the State shall not in any manner be given or 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 Individual, association
or corporation, unless Incurred in time of war
for the benefit of the State.
Section 2.
(Snmc.l
The State may contract debts to
deficits or failures in revenues, or to meet expenses otherwisesupply casual
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 the sum of
$250,000; and the
money arising from the creation of such debts shall be
applied to the pur¬
pose for which It was obtained, or to repay the debts so
contracted, and to
no other purpose whatever.
Section 4. [For what other purposes State may contract
debt.]
In addi¬
tion 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.
Section 5. [Other debts to be authorized.]
Excent the debts hereinbefore
sped tied in this article, no debt shall be hereafter contracted by or on behalf
of this State, unless such debt shall be authorized
by some law for some
single work or object, to be distinctly specified therein; and such law shall
Impose and provide for the collection of a direct annual tax sufficient to
pay
the interest on such debt as it falls due. and also to
pay and discharge the
principal of such debt within twenty years from the time of contracting
thereof; but no silch 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 au¬
thority of such law shall be applied only to the specific object therein
stated,
or to the payment of the debt created
thereby; and such law shall be pub¬
lished in at least one newspaper in each county, If one Is
published therein,
throughout the State for three months preceding the election at which it
Is submitted to the people.
ARTICLE VIII, Section 3. [State not to be a stockholder.] The State shall
not become a stockholder in any
corporation, nor shall It assume or pay the
debt or liability of any corporation, unless Incurred In time of war for
the
benefit of the State.
SECOND, as to municipal indebtedness, the limit Is fixed
absolutely In
the Constitution.
The provisions covering the subject are as follows:’
ARTICLE VIII. Section 4. [Corporation not to be a
stockholder.] No polit¬
ical or municipal corporation shall become a stockholder In
any banking
corporation, directly or Indirectly.
ARTICLE XI, Section 3. [To what amount county or
other corporations
may become indebted.]
No county or other political or municipal corporation
shall be allowed to become indebted in any manner, or for
any purpose, to
an amount in the
aggregate exceeding 5 % on the value of the taxable prop¬
erty within such county or corporation—to be ascertained by the last State
and county tax list previous to the Incurring of such
indebtedness.
[The
Legislature, however, has fixed a lower limit, as stated below.!
The above (Section 3. Article XI) covers cities, counties,
towns and every
other kind of political or municipal

Of the tax rate per $1,000 for 1906 ($1 70) 20 cents was to pay Interest on
the school and seminary fund certificates, 50 cents was for the common
schools and $1 for the support of the State Government.
This latter In¬
cludes the higher institutions of learning, the eleemosynary Institutions and
salaries, criminal costs and all other expenses of the State Government.
CONSTITUTIONAL AMEN DMENTS.—Eight amendments to the State
Constitution were adopted at the November 1902 election.
Several of
the amendments relate to taxation; one permits the city of St. Louis to
frame a new charter, while another amends Article 10, Section 12, by ex¬
empting water and assumed county debt of St. Louis and water debt of
Kansas City In computing the Indebtedness of those cities.
Article X Is also
amended by adding a new section (Section 12a) which permits cities of not
less than 2,000 nor more than 30,000 Inhabitants to Issue water and light
bonds to the amount of 5 % of the taxable property In excess of the debt
limit.A two-thirds vote at an election held for the purpose Is necessary
See V. 75, p. 1165.
to authorize.
At the November 1906 election an amendment to Section 12, Article X,
of the State Constitution was ratified by the voters.
This amendment
provides that the 5% debt limit (see below) may be exceeded by counties
"for the grading, constructing, paving or maintaining of paved, graveled,
macadamized or rock roads y.ml necessary bridges and culverts therein.”
provided such Indebtedness be authorized by a two-thirds vote.
DEBT LIMITATION.—Missouri has made provision In Its Constitution
restricting the creation of debt both on behalf of the State and of Its munici¬

palities.

That part relating to the State Is found In Article 4, Sections 44,

45 and 46.
These sections provide that the General Assembly cannot con¬
tract debts except (1) to renew existing bonds. (2) to meet an unforeseen
emergency or casual deficiency.
The State is prohibited from lending Its
credit to any person, association or corporation or to pledge Its credit for
the payment of liabilities of any Individual, association or corporation.
Tne sections relating to the Indebtedness of cities and other
municipali¬
ties are found In Article 4, Section 47: Article 9, Section 6, and Article 10
Sections 12 and 12a.
These sections make clear (1) that a municipality can¬
not loan Its credit; (2) that It cannot subscribe to the
capital stock of cor¬
porations: (3) that It cannot get Into debt unless two-thirds of the voters
voting at an election favor It, an,d then only to an aggregate of 5 % of valua¬
tion. except that with such assent any county may be allowed to become In¬
debted In a larger amount for the erection of a court house or jail, "or
(as per Amendment of 1906) for the grading, constructing, paving or
maintaining of paved, grave-led, macadamized or rock roads and necessary
bridges and culverts therein"; and except, also, per the amendment ol
1902 (Section 12a, referred to above), cities of from 2,000 to 30,000 Inhabi¬
tants may by vote exceed the limit by an additional 5% for water and
light
purposes; 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.

seat Is Macon City.
The bonds of this county have been In
default for many years, and there seems to be
no Inclination on the
part
of the county authorities to
pay the debt.
A special election was held
Dec. 30 1904 to vote upon the question of
compromising the county debt at
18 cents on the dollar, as
llnally agreed to by the creditors; the compromise
was defeated.
See V. 80, p. 179.
In his report to the State
Auditor,
under date of July 1 1906, tlie
County Clerk had the following to say:
“There is no bonded debt against Macon
County except the Missouri &
Mississippi RR. debt, all of which has been reduced to
judgments, and Is
estimated to be about SI ,600,000.
The county has been
the pay¬
ment of this debt for about 33
years. Some of the judgments have been
sold
recently as low as 8 cents on the dollar.
The county repudiates the debt
and refuses to make a levy sulllclent to
pay same.
In this It has been sus¬
tained by the State and Federal Courts.”
On the other hand, the
judgment
holders are determined to continue the
litigation until they find a way of
recovery which the county cannot avoid.

County Clerk as the Issues outstanding:

NEBRASKA—CITIES AND TOWNS.

The large Increase in the valuation
for 1904 and 1905 Is the result of a
general revenue law passed
by the 1903 Legislature—Chapter 73.
Under this law property Is assessed
at 20 % actual value, whereas In
earlier
years the Droportion seems to have been much
lower.
DEBT LIMITATION.—Nebraska has
carefully provided in Its Consti¬
tution against creating State
Indebtedness, but has left city and other
municipal Indebtedness chleily In the care of the
Legislature.
STATE Indebtedness is restricted to
$100,000 to meet casual deficits In
revenues, except in case of invasion,
&c., while the loaning by the State
of its credit Is prohibited.,

•Under the foregoing the
legislation of Kansas has become
so extensive
that our limited space here
does not admit of even a
brief digest.
In 1903 &
bill (approved March
7) passed the Legislature
fixing 15% of the assessed
value of taxable
property as the limit of bonded debt of
any city of 50.000 or
more—special Improvement and sewer bonds
(assessed on property
fited) to be considered outside
bene¬
this limit.
The Act further
provides that the
total bonded debt,
including special Improvement bonds,
shall not exceed
30 % of the assessed
value.
The Act was published in
full in V. 76,
p. 667
Chapter 101. Laws of 1905,
however, permits cities of the first
and third classes to
second
issue bonds beyond this
limit for natural gas,

to the early
see “State and City Supplement” for
April
The State of Montana has no bonded
debt
at present, the
loans given below being educational
loans Issued on land grants.
The
$350,000 Capitol building bonds are also Issued
against land grants.
In 1906
a decision was rendered In
the State Supreme Court, and later
sustained by
the United States Supreme
Court, holding Invalid bonds Issued by the State
Board of Land
Commissioners, under the name of the State
University,
State Normal School, Agricultural
College and Deaf and Dumb School of
the State of Montana.
A list of bonds declared Invalid
and a resume of the
situation are contained in a letter of the State
Attorney-General In the
“Chronicle” of Jan. 27 1906, page 231.
The State has no desire to
repudiate
these bonds, and In 1907
passed an Act appropriating moneys for interest
due up to Jan. 1 1909 and
making provision for the calling of these bonds,
or part of them, out of
surplus revenues in the general fund.
See Item in
State and City Department of
“Chronicle” accompanying this Issue of the
“Supplement.”
The cash on hand In all funds on
March 1 1907 amounted
to $1,038,061.
The permanent school fund on March 1
1907 held cash and
securities amounting to
$1,138,996, and other school funds on hand aggre¬
gated $311,409.

•Under the Revenue Law of 1901
property Is required to be assessed at
its full value.
This accounts for the
large Increase In values In 1901, as
property was assessed at a very much lower basis
In earlier years.
In addition to the tax rate as above
there Is a poll tax of $1 00
per capita.
In 1880 and prior to that date this
poll tax was 50 cents per capita.
DEBT LIMITATION.—Colorado's
constitutional
provisions
with
refer¬
ence to the creation of debt are of
considerable-length, and strike one at
first as quite elaborate.
After a brief study of the
provisions their good
qualities stand out so plainly as wholly to disarm
criticism.
No State has
placed the debt-making power on a more
reasonable basis.
All the reemla
tlons with reference to
public Indebtedness are found In Article 11
of the
Constitution.

Leadvllle Is the county seat.
There was some litigation
regarding old
bonds of this county; but the matter has been settled
with the bondholders,
and the taxpayers at an election held In Nov.
1901 authorized an Issue of
$700,000 bonds to take up all the county
obligations except the Judgment
7s.
Of the amount authorized, $671,900 have been
put out up to the date
of our statement, and it Is not
likely that the entire amount will ever be
Issued, as It Is probable that quite a number of Warrants has
been lost and
destroyed. An Issue of 7 % Judgment bonds was
out on April 16 1891.
The amount originally was $60,000, but $40,000 put
has since been redeemed
and retired.

The section relating
to the bonding of

constitutional
amendment adopted February 25 1801.
Nothing In explanation of the
provisions needs to be said, as the sections of
the Constitution treating of
this subject are all
very plain and comprehensive;
they will be found in
the “State and City

A new law

Clark, Mayor; J. L. Wright, Clerk.

County.
The city has been In litigation over Its
5% refunding bonds (Issued April 16 1894), which it refused to pay, they
having been purloined, but on Sept. 28 1898 the United States Circuit Court
held the entire Issue of $360,000 bonds Invalid as between the city of Santa
Cruz, and purchasers of the bonds having notice of the facts constituting their
Invalidity, but also held that the city was estopped by rec itals contained In
the bonds from denying their validity In the ease of Innocent purchasers for
value.
Upon this ground the court rendered Judgment against the city for
the amount of principal and Interest due upon such bonds as were purchased
upon the faith of recitals contained therein and without notice or knowledge
of their invalidity.
The municipality received no consideration whatever
for these bonds.
The United States Circuit Court of Appeals, however, on
Dec

5 1899, declared that the entire Issue was void, on the ground that there

was a

flaw In the bonds themselves which the purchasers should have Inves¬
V. 69, p. 1260.
The United States Supreme Court

tigated before buying.

Feb. 24 1902 reversed the latter decision and the case was sent hack with
Instructions (V. 74, p. 590), and the United States Circuit Court of Appeals
In Sept. 1902 thereupon gave Its decision accordingly.
V. 75, p. 694.
A
on

compromise

was effected In March 1903, the details of which will be found
In V. 76, p. 770.
The city was In litigation also over $225,000 5% water
bonds Issued Jan. 16 1889, but In this case, having received value for the
bonds, has been disposed to pay maturing principal and Interest, notwith¬
standing their supposed Invalidity.
The suits brought by tax-payers to
resist the payment of Interest have been dismissed by the Court, and the
bonds and coupons are being paid as they fall due.
Interest on all bonds
has been reduced to 4%

LIMITATION.—Constitutional

Inhibitions as to the creation of
Article XI, sections 5 to 10
Inclusive, of the Consti¬
We quote these sections In full.

are all found In

tution of 1857.
SECTION 5.—Restriction upon
Municipal Corporations.—Acts of
lative Assembly
incorporating towns and cities shall restrict their Legis¬
of taxation,
borrowing money, contracting debts, and loaning their powers
credit.
SECTION 6.—State not to be Stockholder in
Company.—The State shall
not subscribe to or be
Interested In the stock of
any company, association
or corporation.
SECTION 7.—Credit of Slate not to be
Loaned—Limitation upon Powers o.
Contracting Debts.— The Legislative Assembly shall not
loan the credit of
the State, nor In any manner create
debts or liabilities which shall
or In the
singly
aggregate,with previous debts or
liabilities, exceed the sum of
fifty’ thousand dollars, except In case of
war. or to repel Invasion or
sup¬
press Insurrection, and every contract of
Indebtedness entered Into or
assumed by or on behalf of the
when all Its liabilities and debts
State,
amount to said sum, shall be void
and of no effect.
SECTION 8.—State not to Assume
County Debt, Except in What Case.—
The State shall never assume the
debts of any’ county, town or other
cor
poratlon whatever, unless such debts
shall have been created to
vaslon suppress Insurrection1, or defend
repel In
the State In war.
SECTION 9.—Prohibition upon
Municipal Corporations.—No county
city, town, or other municipal corporation,
by vote of Its citizens or other¬
wise, shall become a stockholder In
any joint-stock company,
or association
whatever, or raise money for, or loan Its credit to, corporation
or In aid of
any such company, corporation or
association.
SECTION 10.—Limitation upon Powers
of County to Contract Debts.—No
county shall create any debts or liabilities which shall
singly or In the ag¬
gregate exceed the sum of five thousand
dollars,
except to suppress Insur¬
rection or repel Invasion: but the debts
of any county at the time tills contltutlon takes effect shall be
disregarded In estimating the sum to which
uch county Is 1/mlted.
It will be seen from the above that
the power to limit the
Indebtedness
of municipalities has been
relegated to the Legislative Assembly.
In 1903
the Legislature,
acting under tills authority, passed the
following
Act—
Section 2722 of Bllllnger & Cotton’s
Annotated Codes and Statutes.
The common council (of cities and
towns) shall not In any manner
create
any debt or liability which shall
singly or In the aggregate exceed the sum
of two thousand live hundred
dollars without first obtaining
authority from
the Legislative
Assembly of this State to contract a debt or
liability’ In
excess of said sum.
The above limitation does not
apply to bonds Issued In anticipation of
the collection of street and sewer
assessments under the
authority of any
charter of any city of 2,500 or more
Inhabitants.—See sections 2727 to 2735
of the Annotated Codes and
Statutes.
As regards school districts, the
general school law as amended by the
State Legislature In 1901
(Bllllnger and Colton’s Code, section 3389, para¬
graph 31) gives permission to school boards to Issue
bonds (prescribing the
method) without special legislation, but
stipulates that “In no case shall
the aggregate of bonded debt In
any school district exceed five
per centum
of the value of the taxable
property of any such district.”
Further pro¬
vision is made (Section 3415 of the
Code) that the Indebtedness of districts
of the first class (those
having over 1,000 children of school age) located in
cities of over 75,000 inhabitants shall
never exceed $100,000—the
5%
limit mentioned above applying to all
districts of under

75,000 Inhabitants.

Industry, more particularly silver mining, has had chief
attention, and, with the decline of this, population has also declined, the
Census of 1900 showing a total of only 42,335
persons, as against 45,761 In
1890 and 62,266 In 1880.
The famous Comstock lode Is located within
Nevada, but the silver production of the State has undergone great contrac¬
tion within the last decade.
The full record of population Is as follows: The
1900 figures Include persons on Indian reservations, not considered In

STATE DEBT.—The educational bonds are not. strictly speaking, a
debt of the State.
They are Irredeemable; the fund is Inviolate, and the 6%
semi-annual Interest drawn by them Is provided for out of the revenue
placed to the credit of the sinking fund annually.
The amounts are as
follows:
State bonds, Issued Jan. 1 1870, $1,327,000; county bouds. Issued
Jan. 1 1885, $378,946; new school bonds. Issued March 12 1892, $606,650.
The $165,000 military bonds are also Irredeemable; the Interest Is paid to
the A. & M. College and the State normal school for colored persons.
In
March 1903 the State received $1,323,999 from the National Government
on account of Civil War Interest claims.
V. 76, p. 670.
This sum Is being
used to take up redeemable bonds of the State, and on June 30 1906 only
$26,000 of the redeemable bonds (those due In 1907) remained outstanding.
The sinking fund on hand June 30 1906 aggregated $550,872 63.

KENTUCKY—CITIES

TAX RATE.—In 1905 the

DEBT LIMITATION.—The

(per $1,000)

was $5.00.
provisions relating to the
creation of debt by the State are
found in Sections 49 and 50 of the Con
stitutlon of 1891.
We quote these sections below:
Section 49.
The General Assembly
may contract debts to meet casual
deficits or failures in the
revenue: but such debts, direct or
contingent,
singly or in the aggregate, shall riot at any time
exceed five hundred thou¬
sand dollars, and the
moneys arising from loans
creating such debts shall
be applied only to the
purpose or purposes .for which they were
or to
obtained,
repay such debts: Provided, The General
Assembly may contract
debts to repel invasion,
suppress insurrection, or, if hostilities are
threat¬
ened, provide for the public defense.
Section 50.
No Act of the General
Assembly shall authorize any debt to
be contracted on behalf of
the Commonwealth except for
the purposes men¬
tioned in Section 49 unless
provision be made therein to levy and collect an
annual tax sufficient to
pay the interest stipulated, and to
discharge the
debt within thirty years; nor shall
such Act take effect until it shall
have
been submitted to the
people at a general election and shall have received a
majority of all the votes cast for and against it:
Provided,
The
General
Assembly may contract debts by borrowing
money to pay any part of the
debt of the State without
submission to the people and without
making
provision in the Act authorizing the same
for a tax to discharge the debt so
contracted or the interest thereon.

Memphis Is the county’ seat of Shelby County.
V yellow fever epidemic
in 1878 rendered the city unable to meet its
obligations, and In 1879 the
city’s charter was repealed and the Taxing District of Shelby
County was
organized for the purpose of securing a compromise with the bondholders
on such ter-rnv a*, the
city felt able to make.
The courts, however, held that
the Taxing District was liable for the entire debt of the
city, and a compro¬
mise at 50";, was then arranged for under the Act of March
1883.
This Act
was arm-nded In 3 885.
The old debt has been all retired and Interest
pay
raents or: the new Issues are
promptly made. In 1891, by an-Act of the
Legisiatur*', this district was again Incorporated as a
city'.

To the foregoing we should add the
further fact that the. State does not
have to raise money for the Interest on
the 6% bonds for the reason that
the
lease of the North Carolina RR.
provides a fund for the payment of the
Interest thereon, and the State holds three
millions
(par

in
the
stock
of the road, which If sold would
much more than pay the
principal.
In
addition the State holds other stocks

In compliance with a
decision of the United States
Supreme Court handed
down Feb. 1 1904, North
Carolina on April 1 1905 paid
to the State of
South Dakota $27,400,
representing the judgment obtained by the latter
State on $10,000 bonds (donated to
the State of South Dakota for
the
express purpose of bringing suit, an individual
not being able to sue a State)
Issued by North Carolina and secured
by 100 shares of stock of the North
Carolina RR. Co. and the holders of which
had refused to
accept the pro¬
visions of the funding law of 1879.
See V. 78, p. 594; V. 79.
p.1728: V. 80.
p. 1382: aud also editorials on the
subject, V. 78, p. 1248: V. 80, p. 1332.
The State also settled with the
remaining holders of tills particular class of
unfunded bonds, Issuing the
$250,000 bonds of 1905 mentioned below to
provide means of payment.
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 bonds, $11,366,000: bonds to Chatham RR.,
1868, $1,030,000, and to Wllliamston & Tarboro RR., $150,000;
penitentiary bonds of 1868, $44,000, “unless the
posing to pay tiie same shall have tlrst been submitted
pro¬
to the people ana
them ratlned by the vote of a
by
majority of all the qualified voters of the Sta’e
at a regular election held for the
purpose.”
The
special
tax
bonds
were In
three classes, class 1
bearing the coupon of April 1869 and since: class 2
bearing the coupon of Oct. 1869; class 3 bearing
the coupon of April 1870
Holders of the special tax bonds
brought suit to establish the validity of
their bonds and the case was decided
in favor o.* the State.
The recognized debt which had
been adjusted up to Dec 1 1906
stood as
follows:

A*anie and Purpose.

be Issued only

regularly.

days members “shall serve without
compensation.’'
STATE DEBT.—The old
debt, excepting such as is not
recognized, has
mostly been funded under the funding laws of
1879, the time prescribed for
the exchange having been
extended to January 1 1909.
These laws
ded for the issue of (1)
consolidated 4% bonds due in 1910 to fund old provi¬
antewar bonds at 40% of
face value, “new” railroad bonds
recognized as valid
at 25% and bonds of 1866
and 1868 at 15%,
nothing
being given for over¬
due coupons: and (2) for new
consolidated 6% bonds due in 1919. for which
the North Carolina RR.
construction bonds were made
exchangeable at
par, holders of construction bonds
abating $240 of overdue interest on each
$1,000 bond.
The new bonds, botli 4s and 6s.
carry tax-receivable coupons,
and are exempt from “all
State, county or corporate taxation or
direct or Indirect, general or
assessment,
special.”
The 4s of 1903 are also
exempt from
taxation.

LEGISLATURE meets annually on the second

a

sessions

Tuesday in January;

are not limited, but
pay of members Is confined to forty
days.
BIENNIAL SESSIONS.—The
Legislature of 1994 passed a joint resolu¬
tion to submit to a vote a
Constitutional amendment providing for bien¬
nial sessions of the State
Legislature, instead of annual, as is the case at
present.
Proposition carried, but as a committee appointed
by the Gen¬
eral Assembly
has reported that many changes in the
Constitution are
necessary before biennial sessions would be
practicable, the Act providing
for biennial sessions lias not
yet been passed.
HISTORY OF DEBT.—For history of South
Carolina’s debt from 1794
to 1893, see the "State and
City” Supplement of April, 1S93, pages 163 and
164.
The United States'held
$125,099 principal and $123,759 over-due
interest on bonds Issued in ISA;* to
complete the State House.
In March
1993 they were turned over to »lie
State in part settlement of claims of
South Carolina against Unite
States growing out of the War of
1812.
The bonds have been canceled.
The State also received in
settlement
$89,137 86 in cash.
On Dec. 19 1994 the
Supreme
Court
of
the'United
States affirmed the decision of the
United States Circuit Court in the case
of Lee against Robinson, and
declared the revenue bonds scrip of this
State
to be void.
Under the Act of March 2 1872
$1,899,099 of this scrip was is¬
sued, and sir.ee the year of its issue its
validity
has
constantly been before
tlie courts.
By this decision tlie State is forever relieved
of'tiie liability
to redeem the
$1,899,999 of scrip outstanding.

STATE PROPERTY.—The State owns
valuable deposits of phosphates

mining of them, after increasing from $196,698
In 1886 to $237,149 in
1890. fell to $11.584 In 1906.

Georgia’s early history in debtmaking will be found in tii.e “State and City"

purpose.

Constitution adopted in December 1877
provides against the creation of
any bonded debt “except to
repel Invasion, suppress Insurrection or defend
the State in time of war," $200,000
being made the limit for floating indebt¬
edness which may be
temporarily Incurred In ease of deficiency In the rev¬
enues.

A law went into effect Aug. 20 1899
compelling counties and incorporated
towns and cities to submit
propositions for the Issuance of bonds [ail

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.—Three amendments to the
State
Constitution were adopted at the November 1904 election.

One of these
amendments permits legislation in aid of internal
improvements, another
relates to the payment of pensions to
Confederate soldiers, while a third
amends1 Section 10 of Article 10 of the State
Constitution relating to the
Incorporation of State banks. The Internal Improvement amendment
was
given in full on pages 041 and 042 of the “Chronicle” of Aug.

POPULATION.—The population of Texas lias been as
follows:

Of the total population in 1900.020,722 were
