As the Constitution has been in force thirty years, it may nodoubt be thought there has been time enough to

The difficulty and doubt
which have now arisen are owing to the enactment of
a law providing a new methed for asseesing property.
In Chicago valuations in the past have been on a
notoriously low basis, many pieces of property b ing
assessed at not more than 10 to 15 per cent of their
actual worth.
In February 1898 the Illinois Legislature passed what is known as the Revenue Law of
1898.
This law provides for a Board of Assessors and
a Board of Review in counties containing 125,000 or
more inhabitants. It declares that the preperty

Some time
last

of
the
smaller houses in Boston offered for sale an issue of
bonds of a little electric railway in Massachusetts.
There was nothing out of the ordinary in this offtring
except that at the bottom of the circular the an.
nouncement was made that the bonds were a legal
investment for Maine savings banks. The statement
seemed rattier a surprising one, as the road was not
alone of decidedly minor importance (it being less
than twenty miles in length), but it had ODly just
been opened for business, so there had been no demonstration of its earning capacity. Yet study of
the Maine statutes makes it conceivable that the statement may have been correct. The Maine law declares
(after
enumerating the States in which
railroads investments are permitted) that "no bonds
of street railroads shall be purchased unless an
amount of capital stock equal to thirty-three and onethird per cent of the mortgage debt shall have been
paid in in cash and expendeduponthe road, evidenced
by a certificate of the Railroad Commissioners of the
State where the road is located, filed in the office of
the Secretary of State of Maine, that said percentage
has been so paid in and expended in addition to the
amount of the bonded debt." As the circular above
mentioned declared that the Massachusetts Board of
Eailroad Commissioners had placed the total cost of the
road
completed, at over $400,000, while the
full authorized issue of bonds was to be only $200,000,
it is easy to fee that the requirement of the Maine law
might have been fully complied with.
Yet the road

reference to the matter simply as
disclosing an unguarded point of the law which might
possibly lead to ill-advised investments; we can not
discover that any savings institution was induced to
buy the bonds of the road referred to.
At first sight such a proviso as that contained in the
Maine statute would seem ample to safeguard the investment. The experience in this instance shows
that there are cases where it is not. The considerations affecting investments in street railway bonds are
in many respects quite different from those governing
investments in steam roads. The only true test would
appear to be earnings and dividends, a test also pre
scribed in most recent State legislation for steam
roads.
It is possible that as regards street railways
even this test might not suffice when applied to the
past, owing to the process of amalgamation and consolreceiver.

idation which has been going on in the street railway
world, changing completely the character of many of
the undertakings. It is likely that these consolidations, in providing large issues of bonds covering extensive systems, of stable and assured earning capacity,
can ultimately be utilized to the advantage of the
banks, but time will be needed to demonstrate that
such combinations have been established on a basis
safe beyond peradventure
and that, after all, is the
condition indispensable above everything else.
The larger States have not favored street railway
bonds as means for the employment of savings banks
funds.
Thus, the present law of this State in defining what railroad bonds the institutions may hold
says that " street railroad corporations shall not be
considered railroad corporations within the meaning
of this subdivision."
The Connecticut law says:
" This Act shall not be held to authorize any investments in the bonds of any corporation operating its
railroad exclusively by any means other than steam as
a motive power, or in the bonds of any street railroad
company." In Vermont the law does not give permission for railroad investments of any kind.
The same
is true of the general law controlling savings banks in
Pennsylvania, though some of the banks organized
under old special charters have authority to invest in
any "good and valid securities." The provision in
New Jersey makes it lawful for a bank " to invest its
funds in first mortgage bonds of any railroad company which has paid dividends," &c, &c, evidently
meaning steam roads. In Rhode Island there is no
reference to either street roads or steam roads, but
there is a clause permitting investments "in such
corporate stocks or bonds as they (the institutions)
may deem safe and secure." In fact, except in the
case of Maine and New Hampshire, where any mention is made at all of street railways it is to declare
that the general provisions of law with reference to railroads shall not be construed as applying to street railways.
Of the two States named, which form exceptions to the rule, we have already referred to the
provisions respecting street railways in Maine.
In New Hampshire there are several references to
the subject.

Its
History,
The following is a statement of the debt of the United States past and present. To add to its usefulness we give references to the laws authorizing each of the issues of bonds outstanding to-day, and likewise, so far as we deem it needful, 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
business on 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
Second, the changes in those details since June 30 1899 down to April 1 1900 Third, the items of interest-bearing
1899
debt, &c, at the beginning of each fiscal year since July 1 1876; Fourth, we publish in the Chronicle every month— usually
the first or second Saturday the full detailed Government statement of the debt a9 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.

the net debt as it stood at the close of the last fiscal year, $1,155,320,235 19. To bring down the interestbearing debt to April 1 1900— which, as stated, was $1,046,048,750 on June 30 1899— we must add the $108,024,800 Loan
from the Ten-Twenties of 1898 $29,984,080, from the Funded Loan of 1907,
of March 14, 1900, and deduct the following
$71,126,600, from the Refunding Certificates $2,030 and from the Loan of 1904, $.'6,'i98,700 (a net deduction of $19,186,610)
to reach the total of the interest-bearing debt April 1, 1900, which was $1,026,862,140.
For later and future details of the debt, see the same as issued every month in the Chronicle, the first or a later Saturday.
We now add, first, references to and citations from the laws which are the authority for the debt as it stands to-day, including
the new 2 per cent loan authorized March 14, 1900 second, 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 from 1876 to 1899, and on April 1,1900; third, the
Pacific Railroad bonds, which are never included in the Treasury debt statements.
"FUNDED LOAN OF 1891" (Column 1) 4Lj per cents, continued at 2 per cent. The bonds of this issue still outstanding 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 Government. Amount issued was $25,364,500 and they are all outstanding to-day.
" FUNDED LOAN OF 1 907 " (Column 2) 4 per cents. The act of July 14, 1870, authorized the issue of 1,000 million dollars of bonds at 4

REFUNDING CERTIFICATES"
(Column 3).— Act of February 26 1879 authorized the Secretary of the Treasury to issue in exchange
of the United States certificates of deposit of the denomination of ten dollars, bearing interest at the rate of 4 per cent, and
convertible at any time, with accrued interest, into the 4 per cent bonds described in the Refunding abt; the money so received to be applied
only to the payment of the bonds bearing interest at a rate not less than 5 per cent. On March 12 1879 the issue of these certi flcates and their
exchange into 4 per cent bonds were authorized; the certificates were to draw 4 per oent interest from April 1 1879 and were converti >,e in
sums of $50 or its multiples. The amount issued at the close of the fiscal year (June 30 1879) was $39,308,110, but they had been converted
so rapidly that there were outstanding at that date only $12,848,210. Ou October 31 1879 the entire authorization had been reached, the
maximum amount of the issue being $40,012,750. Of these there were still outstanding on April 1 1900 a total of $35,800.

"LOAN 0^ 1 904."— (Column 4.) The act of January 14 1875 authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to use any surplus revenues from
time to time in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, and to issue, sell, dispose of, at not less than par in coin, either of the descriptions
of bonds of the United States described in the act of July 14 1870 for the purpose of redeeming on and after January 1 1S79 in coin, at
the office of the Assistant Treasurer of the United States at New York, the outstanding legal-tender notes when presented in sums of not less
than fifty dollars. Under this authorization, and for the purpose mentioned, there were issued in February, 1894, payable in 10 years, $50,000,000 of 5 per cents and in November 1894 there were issued $50,000,000 more for similar bonds for the same purpose. There are now outstanding $73,901,300.
" LOAN OF 1925."— (Column 5.) Sales of bonds included under this designation wore effected (1) in February 1S95 to the amount of
$62,315,400 and (2) in February 1896 to the amount of $100,000,000. In a message to Congress under date of February -\ L895 (published in
the Chronicle February 9 1895, page 244), President Cleveland stated in substance that in pursuance of Section 3700 of the Revised Statues
the details of an arrangement have this day been concluded whereby bonds authorized under the act of July 14 1875. payable in coin at the
pleasure of the United States after the first day of Feb., 1925, with interest at the rate of 4 per cent per annum, to the amount of $62,315,400,
are to be issued for the purchase of gold coin amounting to a sum slightly in excess of $65,000,000, to be delivered to the Treasury of the Tinted
States, which sum added to the gold now held in our reserve will so restore such reserve as to make it amount to something more than *100.000,000. Such a premium is to be allowed to the Government upon the bonds as to fix the rate of interest upon the amount of gold realized at
3 fy p. c. per annum. At least one-half of thegoldtobeobtainedlstobe supplied from abroad. Section 3700 of the Revised Statutes is as fo lo
"Sec. 3700. The Seoretary of the Treasury may purchase coin with any of the bonds or notes of the United States authorized by law a : suoh
rates and upon such terms as he may doem most advantageous to the public interest."
For a construction of the "Refunding Act of 1870" and of the " Resumption Act of 1875," see Chronicle, February 13 1893, page 265.
The issue in February 1896 was an ordinary offering, open to all bidders, of $100,000,000 of the same bonds as the foregoing — same in
date, same in time of maturity, same in rate of interest aud time of interest payments. Consequently both issues are oalled the "Loan of 1925,"
of which there are outstanding $162,315,400.
" TEN-TWENTIES OF 1898."— (Column 7.) The bonds inoluded under this head are an issue of $200,000,0003 per crmts. Thpy were
auth rized by Act of June 13 lr<93, and are known as the " War loan." The law provided that in allotting said bonds the individual subserlptions°of the lowest amount must be first allotted. On the day the Act was signed a Treasury oircular was issued (see circular in Chronicle of
June 18 1898, page 1168.) inviti»g subscriptions for 32 days, from June 13 to July 14, for the amount of bonds stated, in both coupon and registered form, ooupons in denominations of $20, $100, $500 nnd £1,000, and registered In denominations of same amounts, and alio in $5,000 and
$10,000, dated August 1 1898, redeemable in coin at the pleasure of the United States after ten years from date of issue, and due and payable
August 1 1918. See oiroular for further details. Subscriptions reached the amount of $1,325,000,00 J. The amount now outstanding (April 1
1900)

Pacific Railroad Debt.— One other class of bonded debt must be referred to which has never been included in the
Government debt we mean the Pacific Railroad subsidy debt. To show the situation of this indebtedness we
make compilations of our own, as the Treasury form comes short of indicating the existing situation. In the
following we bring together the details respecting the issues to the Pacific Railroads, giving likewise in the statement the
debt already paid and the balance due to the Government.

Portland (City) is in Cumberland County.
Of the debt of this city nearly one-half was incurred on account of the
Portland & Osdensburg RR., whose stock the city holds to the amount
of $2,356,110. The railroad is leased for 999 years to the Maine Central
RR. Company at 2 per cent on stock, payable quarterly. This rental
aids the city considerably in meeting its interest charge.

HISTORY OF DEBT.- New Hampshire's debt history is very brief.
This State has always been extremely conservative, and no bonds were
issued until after the breaking out of the Civil War. 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 bel >w:

* The difference of nearly $70,000,000 in the valuation for 1899 as
reported in t'ie October Supplemem and that given above arises
from the fact that the figures in the last Supplement did not include
the valuation of railroads, telephones, etc.
DEBT LIMITATION.—There is no restriction in the Constitution
of New Hampshire upon the debt-making power of the people through
the " General Court," except the following, which is the last clause of
Article 5 of Part Second of that instrument.
Provided, That the General Court shall not authorize any town to
loan or give its money or credit directly or indirectly for the benefit of
any corporation having for its object a dividend of profits or in any
way aid the same by taking its stocks or bonds.
The above is an amendment to the Constitution, which was ratified in
1877. The amendment would appear to be intended as a complete
estoppel to municipal loaning of money or credit to railroad and industrial corporations. It is to be noticed, however, that by its terms the
restriction does not specifically mention "cities," the words being
" any town."
In addition to the foregoing is the " Municipal Bond Act of 1895."
It tells in the matter of issuing bonds what a municipal corporation
may do, what if must do, and what it cannot do. The law enacts: Sec.
1. The term "municipal corporation " means town, city, school district, village district and village precinct.
Sec. 2. Bonds issued must
be payable within 20 years, interest semi-annual, not exceeding 6 per
may

road mileage.
DEBT LIMITATIONS.—There appears to be nothing in the Constitution or in the Statutes of Vermont providing a general limit to the
debt-making power of municipalities. Whatever in eacli ease 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 subscriptions by towns are authorized by Section
2760, chapter 132 of the Revised Statutes, the section being as followSection 2760. A town may aid iu the construction of a railroad organized under the general law by Issuing bonds to aid snob railroad,
by takini' capital stock therein, or in such other manner as it directsbut the liability so assumed shall not exceed eight times the grand list
of the town at the time. Such aid shall be given in the -way provided
:
in this chapter.
It will bo noticed that this section contains a limit to the power
granted of making subscriptions in aid of railroads— to wit That the
subscriptions shall not exceed eight times " the grand list." To evolve
the "grand list " in Vermont, the authorities tii-sf prepare a schedule of
all the property, real and personal, of each individual, with valuations
entered at their real value in money, deducting debts owing; after this
is done "the grand list " is made up by taking one per cent of that
amount, according to Section 317, Chapter 26, of the Revised Statutes,
which is as follows: "All taxat...' property shall be set in the list at one
" per cent of its value in money on the first day of April of the year
" in which the list is made."
Following Section 2760, above cited, which authorizes subscriptions
In aid of railroads, are other sections describing the method iu which
:
SW£
14
/*WD CITY SUffifcMSNT.
these subscriptions must be made, by calling a town meeting, voting,
&o., &o. Then follows Section 2766, authorizing the issue of bonds.
Section -27(>(>. such town may issue bonds, with coupons payable
semi-annually, at a rate of interest not exceeding seven per cent, to
aid such road.
The only other general authority granted for the issue of bonds by
municipal corporations in Vermont is that given for refunding outstanding bonds and notes. The Sections which grant this power are
Sections 2769, 2775 and 2776, Chapter 132 of the Revised Statutes,
Sections 2769 and 2776 are as follows:
Section 2769. A town which has outstanding and unpaid negotiable
notes or bonds, issued to pay for stock subscribed to a railroad company, under any act of the general assembly, may issue other negotiable notes or bonds to pay or retire such outstanding notes or bonds.
Section 2,775. A town having outstanding and unpaid orders, notes,
bonds or coupons, issued under any act of the Legislature, for the purpose of the erection of public buildings, or in aid of public improvements^ or for the payment of soldiers' bounties, may issue other
negotiable notes or bonds for the purpose of retiring the outstanding
orders, notes, bonds and coupons, in the same manner that it may issue
new notes or bonds to pay or retire outstanding notes or bonds issued
In aid of a railroad; and the powers, restrictions, duties and liabilities
of the town and town officers in the matter shall be the same as is
provided by law in the case of the refunding by a town of town bonds
issued in aid of a railroad; and the interest on such new notes or bonds
shall be provided for in the same manner.
By Section 2776 municipal corporations other than towns have the
same refunding powers granted them which are conferred upon towns
by the two sections last above cited.
The only other section whioh we need quote is Section 2751 of
Chapter 130, 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 2751. Towns in town meetings may vote such sums of
money as they judge 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 BANKS INVESTMENTS-PRIVILEGES AND RESTRICTIONS.—The provisions of law relating to savings banks are
found in Chapter 174 of the Vermont statutes, Sections 4066 to 4131
inclusive, as amended from time to time. The first section having reference to investments is Section 4096, which treats of real estate
mortgages. It authorizes the investment of 70 p.o. of the assets in such
mortgages, one-sixth at least of which " shall be upon real estate in this
State " — that is Vermont. A proviso adds that only 50 per cent of the
assets may be invested in mortgages on real estate outside of Vermont.
Sections 4097 and 4098 relate only to obtaining and paying for insurance. Section 40t9 is as foil ows, and has reference to investment
on.
personal security.
Section 4099 —No loans or investments on personal security shall be
made except upon at least two approved names, not less than two of
whom reside in this State or within fifty miles of the institution making
such investment, and such personal loans or investments shall not be
for a longer time than one year; and not more than one-third of the
assets of a savings bank, savings institution or trust company shall be
invested in personal securities.
Section 4100 only covers a single point; that is to say it restricts to
five per cent of the deposits the amount which a savings bank may
invest in the lot and building for the transaction of its business, and
adds that a revenue
may be derived from
portions of the building not
required for the bank's use. The next section (Section 4101) covers
the most important of the pro visions relating to investments that are
contained in the law. We give the section in full below. The separation
into paragraphs and the figures in parenthesisjwhich number and begin
the paragraphs are our own.
Section 41 01— With the foregoing exceptions, the moneys deposited
in Savings' Banks, Savings' Institutions and Trust Companies, and
the income therefrom, shall be invested only as follows

and Washington, but no investment shall be made in any of the

valuation, and when not issued in aid of railroads
(5.) In the school bonds and independent school district bonds of New
Jersey, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Missouri; and in the school bonds and
independent school district bonds of school districts of two thousand

the respective cities, towns and school districts.
(6.) In the public funds of any of the States named in this section;
in notes with a pledge of any of the aforesaid securities, including deposit books or deposit receipts, issued by a savings' bank, savings
institution or trust company or banking association located in this
State, as collateral, such notes not to exceed the par or market value
of such security
(7.) But no savings bank, savings institution or trust company shall
hold, by way of investment or as security for loans, more than ten
per cent of the capital stock of any one bank, nor invest more than ten
per cent of its deposits, nor more than thirty-five thousand dollars in
the capital stock of any one bank; and no such investments shall be

DEBT LIMITATIONS.—There seems to be no provision in the Constitution of Massachusetts limiting the power of the Legislature to
create State indebtedness, or limiting its power to authorize municipal
indebtedness. Statutes general and special have, however, been parsed
en this subject with respect to Cities and Towns.
First among these Statutes needing mention we have Chapter 29 of
the Revised or "Public Statutes.'
The important sections to be cited
contained in Chapter 29 are as follows. We give only the substance
of the sections, not the words.

*NB
CITY
Section 1—Provides that cities and towns shall not incur debt
except in the manner and within the limitations prescribed in this
chapter.
Section 2— Provides (as a preliminary tor determining whether the
limitation fixed bv Section 4 has been reached by any municipality)
that the water debt and the sinking funds shall be deducted from the
total debt.
Section 3—Provides that the first 17 sections of chapter 29 shall not
apply to debts incurred in aid of railroads, to water scrip issued under
special statutes, or to indebtedness for a tire district.
SECTION 4— Provides that no city or town except :i s provided in the
following section shall become indebted in an amount which exceeds 3
per cent on the last preceding valuation [but amended as noted below.]
Section 5— Provides that cities and towns which were indebted on
the 13th day of June. 1ST."), to an amount not less than 2 per cent on
valuation for that year may "increase such indebtedness to the extent
" of an additional one per cent on that valuation and no more."
SECTION 6—Provides thai cities, &c, "may by ordinary rote incur
debts for tempory loans " in anticipation of the year's taxes and of the
year's taxes next ensuing.
Section 7—Provides that other debts than those referred to in
section 6 shall be incurred only by a vote of two-thirds of the voters
present at a town meeting, of two-thirds of all the members of each
branch of the oity council, and approved by the Mayor; or if the Mayor
disapproves, by another like vote after notice of such disapproval.
Section 8— Provides that debts incurred for water must be payable
within 30 years; in constructing sewers within 20 years; all other debts
within 10 years.
sections 9 to 17 inclusive, contain interesting provisions relating to
sinking funds and other allied matters.
Section 18— Provides that any city which at a meeting of its voters
has accepted by a two-thirds vote any act to supply said city with
water, may by a vote of a majority of the members of each branch of
the city council contract debts and issue bonds for the purpose.
Section 19 Provides that towns, &c, shall not increase their debt
by subscriptions in aid of railroads beyond 3 per cent of valuation but
the limitation of this section shall not apply to temporary loans mentioned in Section 6.
Sections 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.
As the reader has seen, the foregoing (Section 4, Chapter 29) fixes the
general debt limitation for cities and towns at 3 per cent.
This general limitation was lowered by a later law. The provision is
found in Chapter 312, Section 2 of the Laws of 1 885, which provision
reduces the general debt limitation of cities from 3 per cent to 2^ per
cent on the average valuation for the preceding three years. Worcester,
Lynn, Gloucester and Brockton are in the same Section exempted from
the operation of the Section until January 1, 1889— later than 1889 the
only exemptions we find in the Statutes are special in their purpose,
not general. In 1893, however, authority was given for an addition of
^ per cent, to provide public playgrounds— that is to say, under Chapter 225, Laws of 1893, any town or city (except Boston) may incur an
indebtedness of **% of the assessed valuation beyond the limit of in-
—
;
debtedness for playgrounds.
The temporary loans provision, as it appears above in Section 6
(Chapter 29), is also changed by Section 4, Chapter 312, by omitting
"and of the year next ensuing " so that at present cities and towns by
ordinary vote can incur debts for temporary loans in anticipation of
the taxes of the year only in which such debts are incurred.
Temporary loans (for a term not exceeding one year) in anticipation
of money to be derived from an issue of bonds or other form of indebtedness, duly authorized, are provided for by a statute approved June
14, 1898. The same Act states that the time within which said bonds
etc., shall become due shall not be extended by reason of said tempor!
ary loan.
The foregoing statements cover all the material facts general in their
In addition to
application passed with respect to debt limitation.
these General Provisions there are various Special Laws which contain
exceptions to the general law as to debt limitation, which apply to Boston, Cambridge, Lynn, Newburyport, Waltham, Worcester, &c, &c.

SAVINGS BANK INVESTMENTS-POWERS AND RESTRIC-
TIONS. —The
provisions regulating the investiuents and loans of
savings banks and institutions for savings in Massachusetts are contained in Section 21, Chapter 317, acts of 1894, and amendments
thereof. All the provisions have been compiled by the Commissioners
of Savings Banks, and we cannot do better than to give their compilation, which we do below in full. In 1899 the authority to purchase
railroad bonds was materially broadened. The amendmentis included
in the provisions below.

DEBT LIMITATIONS.—The
general provision as to debt limitation which applies only to Boston is found in the .Supplement to the
Public Statutes of Massachusetts, Laws of 18s5, Chapter 173. The
act is entitled "An act to limit the municipal debt of, and the rate of
"taxation in, the city of Boston."
Section 1— Provides that the taxes exclusive of State tax and of
sums required by law to be raised on account of the city debt shall
not exceed in any one year $9 on every $1,000 of the average of the assessors' valuation for the preceding Ave years, the valuation year
to year being first reduced by all abatements.
Section 2— Provides that the limit of indebtedness of the city of
Boston shall hereafter be 2*2 per cent until January 1, 1837, and thereafter shall be 2 per cent on the average valuation prescribed in section
1
of this act.
The foregoing limitation is of course exclusive of debts created for
water supply, and further exceptions have been made from year to
year by different legislatures, authorizing bonds outside of the debt
limit for various purposes, especially enumerated.
It is proper to state that under Chapter 93, Acts of 1691. the city is
1901
1901 authorized to anticipate its authority to borrow money within its debt
limit
for any current municipal year.

Rhode Island limiting the amount of city debts.
following, however, are two sections taken from Title 7, Chapter
36 (page 157) of the Revised Statutes of the State of 1896. Since 1878
these provisions have been in force, and consequently 3 per cent of the
taxable property has been the limit of the power of each town (which
includes city) to create debt.
in the Constitution of
The
Section 20. "The outstanding notes, bonds and contracts of towns
shall be paid and be fulfilled according to the tenor thereof, and all
public worKs now authorized to be prosecuted shall be prosecuted, and
all indebtedness now authorized to be incurred on account thereof may
be incurred according to the tenor of the authority therefor.
Section 21. No town shall, without special statutory authority
therefor, incur any debt in excess of three per centum of~the taxable
property of such town, including the indebtedness of such town on
the tenth day of April, one thousand eight hundred seventy-eight, but
the giving of a new note or bond, for a pre-existing debt, or for
money borrowed and applied to the payment of such pre-existing debt,
is excepted from the provisions of this section, and the amount of any
sinking fund shall be deducted in computing such indebtedness."
A
proposed new constitution, containing certain limitations as to
State and other debts, failed of adoption at the November election in
1898, was again submitted to popular vote in 1899 and again defeated.
SAVINGS BANK INVESTMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS.-In
the Revised Statutes of Rhode Island (which were revised in 1896),
Sections 54, 55, 56, etc., of Chapter 178, Title 19 (on page 548), will be

April,

ISM1W-CITI£S
found the provisions of law with reference to Savings Bank InvestSection 54, which recites in detail the stocks, bonds, etc., these
Institutions are allowed to put their money in is as follows:
Section 54. Institutions for savings shall invest their receipts—
(1) In public stocks or bonds of any'State or of the United States,
ments.
(2)
(3)
Or
Or
in any bank stock, or in notes or liouds of any town or city.

Or
bonds as they may deem safe and
in such corporate stocks or
secure,
(5) Or they may discount notes, bonds or drafts of individuals or corporations, with two other responsible endorsers, sureties or guarantors,
(6) Or the notes, bonds or dralts of individuals or corporations secured
by the public notes, stocks or bonds of any State of the United States,
or of any town or city or of any school district or Are district in any
New England State, or by the stock or bonds of any corporation which
may be deemed to be safe, or by mortgage on real estate.
Concerning Sections 55 and 56, the first appears to give savings
institutions quite extensive powers as to making and keeping deposits
in commercial banks. When so kept, however, they are to bo kept
"payable on demand whether drawing interest or not." The two
sections are subjoined.
Suction 55. No such institution shall have an amount exceeding
one-half of its receipts invested in notes, bonds or drafts of individuals
or corporations, unless secured by some public notes, bonds or stocks as
aforesaid, or by mortgage on real estate: but the preceding section shall
not bo so construed as to forbid any such institution from placing and
holding on deposit in any bank such reasonable amount of their receipts as is customary and they may deem proper, payable on demand,
whether drawing^ interest or not.
Section 5h.— No money shall be loaned by any institution for savings to any trustee, director or other olttcer of such institution.
For the other provisions of the law as they now are we would refer
our readers to the Revised Statutes of 189G.

DEBT LIMITATION.—The Constitution of Connecticut contains but
a single provision restricting the debt-making power. The provision Is
Article 25, adopted as an amendment in 1877, and is as follows
No County, City, Town, Borough or other Municipality, shall ever
subscribe to the capital stock of any railroad corporation, or become the
purchaser of the bonds, or make donation to, or loan its credit in aid of,
any such corporation but nothing herein contained shall affect the
validity of any bonds or debts incurred under existing laws, nor be construed to prohibit the General Assembly from authorizing any Town
or City to protect by additional appropiations of money of credit any
railroad debt contracted prior to the adoption of this amendment.
The foregoing is explicit and comprehensive, covering every municipality. There are no general restrictions in the Revised Statutes
whatever restrictions have been made from time to time are contained
in enabling acts and in city charters.
As to towns, we notice that there is a general law granting them unlimited power to issue bonds. According to section 140, chapter 23 of
the Revised Statutes, " when any town shall have made appropriations
" or incurred debts, or shall hereafter make appropriations or incur
" debts exceeding ten thousand dollars, it may issue bonds, either regis" tered or with coupons attached, or other obligations, payable at such
" times and at suoh annual rate of interest not exceeding 6 per cent,
* payable annually or semi-annually, as it shall determine," &c. Cities
have had no such general authority conferred upon them.
Exemption from Taxation nas been accorded by general statute to
-certain bonds issued by cities and towns to aid in the construction of
railroads; and this exemption has been extended to new bonds issued
for the purpose of redeeming or providing a fund to redeem the railroad
aid bonds above referred to. This exemption is found in Section 3,820,
Chapter 241 of the Revised Statutes (last clause of Section), and the
bonds there named are those " issued by any town or city in aid of the
" construction of the railroads of the Connecticut Western Railroad
" Company, the New Haven Middletown & Willimantic Railroad Com" pany, 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 3920, Chapter 244 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 "Publio Acts" for that year.

Enfield or in the town of Stafford may loan on land located in the

;
It would seem according to the foregoing amendment of section

Sec. 1803. No loan shall be made by any savings bank to any corporation or association or ecclesiastical society, secured by mortgage

Sec. 1804. No savings bank having more than twenty-live thousand

obligation on which only one person or firm shall be holden, without
taking additional security for the same equivalent to the guaranty or

Besides the ordinary safeguards which are in all savings bank laws
there is one of no little importance that ought to aid materially in preventing incautious loans. We refer to the provision below.
Sec. 1806.— When any loan or investment is made by any savings
bank, the names of the directors or trustees consenting thereto shall be
entered upon the records of said bank, and said record shall be at all

truth of the statements therein contained.

Note. —For debts of minor civil divisions not found among the statements given below, see "Additional Statements" al the end of this Stale.
The relation which the towns, cities and boroughs of this State bear
to one another is peculiar, and requires a word of explanation. The
State is divided into eight counties, and these counties are made up of
towns, numbering in the aggregate 167. The towns are the civil unit,
and on the assessed valuation (which is called the " Grand List of each
town ") is levied the tax for State purposes as 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. Of late several towns and cities whose limits
were about identical have been consolidated and the outstanding
bonds of both town and city are reported together without distinction.
This is the case with the city and town of Hartford, which previous to
April, 1896, reported their debts separately. The city and town of
New London have been consolidated and also Bridgeport city and
town. On December 7, 1897, city, town and school district of New
Haven were likewise consolidated.
The borough stands in about the same relation to the town as does
the city. The grand list as determined for the town is used by both the
city and the borough in levying taxes, the city, for instance, putting a
tax of its own on its share of the total grand list of the town. This tax

HISTORY OF DEBT.—The historical details of New York's State
debt from 1817 to 1894 will be found in the State and City Supplement of April, 1894, page 41.
During a period of eleven years ending in 1893 the State debt was
paid at the average of $1,000,000 per year, and practically wiped out.
At the November election in 1895 the proposition to issue bonds of
the State to the amount of $9,000,000, for the purpose of enlarging and
Improving the Erie Canal, the Champlain Canal, and the Oswego Canal,
was submitted to the voters and carried. These bonds have all been
Issued to date, but nearly $500,000 have been paid off from the proceeds
of the tax levied for a sinking f una, leaving outstanding Mar. 1, 1900,
$8,500,660, which, with the $330,000 Comptroller's Certificates and
$400,000 Adirondack Park Bonds and $900,000 Defense Bonds, a total
of $10,130,660, constituted the State's indebtedness on Mar. 1, 1900.

State debts, power to contract. Sec. 2. The State may, to meet casual
deficits or failures in revenues, or for expenses not provided for, con-
tract debts; but such debts, direct or contingent, singly or in the aggregate, shall not at any time exceed one million of dollars; and the

the purpose for which they were obtained, or to repay the debt so contracted, and to no other purpose whatever.
State debts to repel invasions.— Sec. 3. In addition to the above limited
power to contract debts, the State may contract debts to repel invasion,
suppress insurrection, or defend the State in war; but the money arising from the contracting of such debts shall be applied to the purpose

Limitation of legislative power to create debts. Sec. 4. Except the
debts specified in sections two and three of this article, no debts shall

the collection of a direct annual tax to pay, and sufficient to pay, the
interest on such debt as it falls due, ancf also to pay and discharge the
principal of such debt within eighteen years from the time of the contracting thereof. No such law shall take effect until it shall, at a general election, have been submitted to the people, and have received a

Towns and Villages.—
State
puts a general and
uniform limit to the power of all counties and cities of the State to contract and put out their obligations, leaviug to the Legislature to fix the
debt-making power of villages and towns only. These provisions are
found in Article 8, Section 10. We give that section in full. The
separation into xiaragraphs and the figures in parenthesis which number and begin the paragraphs are our own, we baying inserted them so
that those who need to refer to or use any particular portion can the more
readily find the part desired. With that exception we give Section 10
of Article 8 as it reads, preserving even the punctuation.
(1) No county, city, town or village shall hereafter give any money
or property, or loanits money or credit to or in aid of any individual,
association or corporation, or become directly or indirectly the owner
nor shall any
of stock in, or bonds of, any association or corporation
such county, city, town or village lie allowed to incur any indebtedness
except for county, city, town or village purposes. This section shall
not prevent such county, city, town or village from making such provision for the aid or support of Its poor as may be authorized by law.
(2) No county or city shall be allowed to become indebted for any
purpose or in any manner to an amount which, including existing
;
40
ST/ITE

CITY

indebtedness, shall exceed ten per centum of the assessed valuation of
the real estate of such county or city subject to taxation, as It appeared
by the assessment rolls of said county or city on the last assessment for
State or county taxes prior to the incurring of such indebtedness; and
all indebtedness in excess of such limitation, cxcepi such as may now
exist, shall be absolutely void, except as herein otherwise provided.
(3) No county or city whose present indebtedness exceeds ten per
centum of the assessed valuation of its real estate subject to taxation,
shall be allowed to become indebted in any further amount until such
indebtedness shall be reduced within such limit.
(4) This section shall not be construed to prevent the issuing of certificates of indebtedness or revenue bonds issued in anticipation of the
collection of taxes for amounts actually contained, or to be contained
in the taxes for the year when such certificates or revenue bonds are
issued and payable out of such taxes.
(5) Nor shall this section be construed to prevent the issue of bonds
to provide for the supply of water but the terms of the bonds issued to
provide the supply of water shall not exceed twenty years, and a sinking fund shall be created on the issuing of the said bonds for their redemption, by raising annually a sum which will produce an amount
equal to the sum of the principal and interest of said bonds at their
maturity.
m
(6) All certificates of indebtedness or revenue bonds issued in anticipation of the collection of taxes, which are not retired within five
years after their date of issue, and bonds issued to provide for the supply
of water, and any debt hereafter incurred by any portion or part of a
city, if there shall be any such debt, shall be included in ascertaining
the power of the city to become otherwise indebted.
(7) Whenever hereafter the boundaries of any city shall become the
same as those of a county, the power of the county to become indebted
shall cease, but the debt of the county at that time existing shall not be
included as part of the city debt. [At the November 1899 election
an amendment to the Constitution was adoptei changing this paraWhenever the boundaries of any city are
graph to read as follows
the same as those of a county, or when any city shall inolude within
its boundaries more than one county, the power of any couaty wholly
included within such city to become indebted shall cease, but the debt
of the county heretofore existing shall not, for the purposes of this
section, be reckoned as a part of the city debt.]
(8) The amount hereafter to be raised by tax for county or city purposes, in any county containing a city of over one hundred thousand
inhabitants, or any such city of this State, in addition to providing for
the principal and interest of existing debt, shall not in the aggregate
exceed in any one year two per centum of the assessed valuation of the
real and personal estate of such county or city, to be ascertained as
prescribed in this section in respect to county or city debt.
By the terms of the foregoing section, Paragraph (1), every " County,
City, Town or Village" is included in the prohibition against (1) loaning " its money or credit," (2) in becoming " directly or indirectly the
owner of stock in or bonds of any association or corporation," and (3)
in incurring " any indebtedness except for County, City, Town or village purposes." Most of the other paragraphs include only Counties
;
.
:
and
Cities.
According to Paragraph (6) it seems that " any debt hereafter incurred by any portion or part of a city, if there shall be any such debt,
shall be included in ascertaining the power of the city to become other
wise indebted."
We would also call special attention to Paragraph (7), declaring that
[as amended in 1899] whenever the boundaries of any city may be the
same as those of a county or wh3n any city shall include within its
boundaries more than one county, " the power of any county wJiolly included within such city to become indebted shall cease, but the debt of the
county heretofore existing shall not * * be reckoned as a part of
the city debt."
In May 1886 the New York Court of Appeals decided at the end of a
litigation begun in July 1885 that the sinking fund was not a part of
the city debt within the meaning of the above provision of the Constitution limiting the creation of debt to 10 per cent of the assessed valuation of the real estate.
Towns and Villages are not limited in their debt-making power by the
Constitution. Those municipalities will be govemied by general or
special statutes.
The 1895 Legislature passed an act " for the protection of bona fide
purchasers and holders of coupon bonds and of municipal corporations
against misfeasance, malfeasance or negligence of public officers."
The full text of this law was published in the Chronicle of June 8,
1895. V. 60, p. 1023.
EXEMPTION FROM TAXATION—There is one general New York
statute with reference to exemption from taxation " for town, county,
municipal or State purposes " of a class of bonds " issued by any village,
city, town or county" in the State, which seems to have a wider application than is generally known. As originally passed in 1881 the exemption applied only to bonds issued to pay up or retire bonds "created
to aid in the construction of any railroad." A new law was passed in
"
1886 (Chapter 316) making the tax exemption apply to " new bonds
issued under the act to retire any of the then "present bonded indebtedness of any village, city, town or county in this State." With reference
" All new
to such new bonds the third section of the act of 1886 says
bonds issued by any village, city, town or county in this State under
the provisions of this act shall be exempt from taxation for town,
county, municipal or State purposes until the period when they are
made payable." In 1893 still another law was passed making the
statute cover any bonded indebtedness. The law as it now stands will
he found in editorial on page 4 of the April, 1894, Supplement.
in addition to the foregoing there are special laws authorizing special
issues that are exempt, but which we have not room to quote here.
For New York City there is a general statute which directs how any of
its bonds may be made exempt from city and county taxation. That
:
statute is subjoined.
Sec. 137. The Commissioners of the " Sinking Fund of the City of New
York for the redemption of the city debt," when duly authorized by
ordinance of the Common Council, may. by concurrent resolution,
direct that the bonds and stocks of said city, issued pursuant to law,
after June ninth, eighteen hundred and eighty, shall be exempt from
taxation by said city and by the county o f New York, but not from taxation for State purposes and all bonis and stocks issued pursuant to
such authority shall be exempt from taxation accordingly, provided
that said bonds and stocks shall not bear interest exceeding the rate of
four and one-half per centum per annum. The bonds and stocks of the
city of New York issued pursuant to the provisions of this section shall
express upon their face the fact that they are exempt from taxation by
the city and county of New York, but not from State taxation, and
shall refer to this section, and to the ordinance of the Common Council,
and the resolution of the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund authorizing their issue.
;
SAVINGS BANK INVESTMENTS-POWERS AND RESTRICTIONS.—In 1898 the New York Legislature passed an amendment to
paragraph 6, Sec. 116, of the Savings Bank law of 1892. The amendment extended investments of savings banks to first mortgage railroad
bonds the principal part of whose railroad is located within this State,
and in 1899 the field of railroad investments was still further enlarged.
In 1900 the Chicago & Alton RR. was added to the list and other
changes made in paragraph 6.
We give section 116 below as it stands with these amendments
incorporated.
Sec. 116. In what securities deposits may be invested.—The trustees
of any savings banks may invest the moneys deposited therein and
the income derived therefrom only as follows
:

In the latter case the mode of procedivre is, as will
be seen, given in the same paragraph of the Constitution.
(2) CITIES, COUNTIES, TOWNS, Etc., are also restricted in the
making of certain kinds of debt by Article I, paragraphs 19 and 20, of
the Constitution. We give the 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, association or corporation whatever.
It will be noted that the above prohibition relates to the giving of
money, property or credit of cities, &c, to individuals, associations, or
corporations, &c, and that the prohibition is absolute, forbidding the
doing of such acts in any form, shape or manner. There is one other
restriction of the State Constitution, and that is found in Article IV.
Section VII., paragraph 11, which forbids the Legislature passing any
spccialleiws " regulating the internal affairs of towns and counties";
in this and in all other cases in which according to the judgment of
the Legislature general laws are feasible, the Constitution states that

general laws must be provided.
In compliance with this last provision the Legislature has passed
many general laws covering bonded indebtedness of cities, towns, etc
They are so numerous they cannot bo 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, etc.
TAX EXEMPTION.—The State of New Jersey passed in 1893
a general statute which exempts from taxation the bonds, securities and other evidences of indebtedness of municipal corporations
the provision covers not only the bonds, etc., to be hereafter
issued, but those as well that have been heretofore issued. It is a
sweeping statute, and one which is of decided interest to the holders of
the municipal securities of the State. The full text of it may be found
in the State and City Supplement for October, 1898, page 58.

HISTORY OF DEBT.— New Jersey has always been a conservative
State; there are consequently no facts out of which to construct ahistory of debt issues. In a report made in 1838 the financial officer of
the State affirmed that New Jersey had put out no obligations of any
kind or loaned its credit to any company. The Constitution of 1844
forbade the creating of a State debt exceeding one hundred thousand dollars except for purposes of war, &c, as wiil more fully appear in the
item below with respect to "debt limitation." This exception, under
which it was allowable to exceed the hundred-thousand-dollar limit
became operative on the occasion of the breaking out of our Civil War.
Quite a debt was created at that period and what the State now owes
is the remnant of those war issues. The details are as follows.

The Legislature
shall
not in any manner create any debt or debts,
liability or liabilities of the State, which shall singly or in the aggregate
with any previous debts or liabilities at any time exceed one hundred
thousand
dollars, except for purposes of war, or to repel invasion, or to
suppress insurrection, unless the same shall be authorized by a law for
some single object of work, to be distinctly specified therein; which
law shall provide the ways and means, exclusive of loans, to pay the
interest of such debt or liability as it falls due, and also to pay and
discbarge the principal of such debt or liability within thirty-five years
from the time of the contracting thereof, and shall be irrepealable until
such debt or liability and the interest thereon are fuily*paid and discharged and no such law shall take effect until it shall, at a general
election, have been submitted to the people, and have received the
sanction of a majority of all the votes cast for and against it at such
election and all money to be raised by the authority of such law shall
be applied only to the specific object stated therein, and to the payment
of the debt thereby created. This section shall not be construed to refer to any money that has been, or may be, deposited with this State by
the Government of the United States.

passed in 1876. Since then the legislative tendency in the matter of
investments has been in the direction of allowing the management of
these institutions a wider choice and a larger discretion. In 1878 the
1876 law were broadened in several particulars by anew
act of two sections, the first taking the place of section 26 of the act of
1876. In 1886 still another law was passed in place of the first section
of the law of 1878. Again in 1889 an act was passed extending materially the provisions of section two of the law of 1878, which covered the same subject matter contained in section 29 of the original law
of 1876, and thereby section 26 of the law of 1876 was superseded by
the law of 1886, and section 29 was superseded by the law of 1889. In
1896 a supplement approved March 30, 1896 (Chapter 139, laws of
1896) to the law of 1876, making school district bonds an authorized
investment, went into effect. In 1897 an act was passed (approved
April 9) authorizing investments in bonds issued by commissioners
appointed by the Supreme Court of the State. In 1899 a further
supplement extending the permissible line of municipal investments
so as to iuclude the bonds of townships and boroughs was approved
March '24. An attempt to add such securities to the list was made in
1898, but the measure then failed to receive the approval of the Governor. The 1899 law is as follows:
Section 1. It shall be lawful for any savings bank in this State to
invest its funds in the bonds of any city, county, town or township of
ths State issued pursuant to the authority of any law of this State, or
in the bonds of any borough or village or school district of this State
issued pursuant to the authority of any law of this State; provided,
such borough, village or school district shall not, within the ten
years next preceding, have defaulted in the payment of any part of
either principal or interest of any legal debt or obligation thereof; and
provided farther, that the total indebtedness of any such borough or
village does not exceed ten per centum of its assessed valuation, and
such school district bonds are by law charged upon all the property of
the inhabitants of such district, or in any interest-bearing obligation
(other than obligations commonly known as improvement certificates)
issued by the city, county, town, township, borough or village in
which such bank or institution is situated.
The following is the law of 18a7 (approved April 9, 1897):
"Sec. 1. It shall be lawful for any bank, trust company, savingsbank
or savings institution * * * incorporated under the laws of this
State, to invest moneys belonging to or deposited with any such companies in any bonds authorized by the laws of this State to b-t issued
by any commission appointed by the Supreme Court of this State by
virtue of any law of this State."
We omit the law of 1896 with reference to school district bonds
because its provisions are included in the laws of 1S99, quoted above.
Next we give the leading provisions of the general law as to investlimits of the
ments.
section of the act of which this is a supplehereby amended so as to read as follows
That it shall uot be lawful, 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 of the legislature of this
State, and any provision contained in the charter, or any supplement
thereto, of such savings bank or savings institution to the contrary, to
invest the moneys deposited with the same in any manner, except as

That the
ment be and the same
first
is
:
follows, to wit
I. In the stocks or bonds or interest-bearing notes or obligations of the
United States, or those for which the faith of the United States is
distinctly pledged to provide for the payment of the principal and
interest thereof;
II. In the interest-bearing bonds of this State;
III. In the bonds of any State in the Union that has not, within ten
years previous to making such investment by any such bank or institution, defaulted in the payment of any part of either principal or interest
of any debt authorized by any legislature of such State to be contracted.
IV. In the stocks or bonds of any city, town, county or village of this
State, issued pursuant to the authority of any law of this State, or of
the cities of New York, Brooklyn and Philadelphia, or in any interestbearing obligations (other than those commonly known as improvement certificates) issued by the city, town or borough in which suoh
bank or institution shall be situated f See below for provision including
the bonds of certain cities and counties of any State in the U. S).
V. In bonds secured by mortgages which shall be a first lien on real
estate situate in this State, and worth at least double the amount
;
loaned tliereon, but not to exceed eighty per centum of the whole deposbe so loaned or invested but in case the loan is on unimproved
or unproductive real estate, the amount loaned thereon shall not be
more than thirty per centum of its actual value; and no Investment in
any bond and mortgage shall be madehy any savings bank, except upon
the report of a committee of at least three of the managers, directors
or trustees of any such bank or institution, and a majority of which
committee shall certify to thevalueof the premises mortgaged, or to
be mortgaged, according to their best judgment; sncb report shall be
filed and preserved among the records of the institution;
vr. In real estate strictly in accordance with the following proits shall
;
visions.
We do not reprint tlie real estate provisions, as they cover a matter
not germane to our present subject, ft is sufficient to say that they are
two in number, marked (a) and (b), and may be summarized as below
(a) authorizes the holding of a plot for erection of a banking building or buildings, portions of which may be rented, but the cost oi lot
and buildings must not exceed 50% of the net surplus of the corporation:
(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 lie sold within five years unless,
on application to the State Board having supervision of Savings Banks,
time shall be extended.
But the character of permissible investments was further greatly
enlarged by the law of 1880, which is as follows
Suction 1. That it shall be lawful for any savings bank or savings institution, incorporated under any law of this State, to invest moneys
deposited with it in the bonds of any city or county of any State of the
United States of America, which have been or may be issued pursuant
to the authority of any law of any such State; provided, no such city or
county has, within ten years previous to making such in vestment by
any such savings bank or savings institution of this State, defaulted in
the payment of any part of either principal or interest of any debt
authorized by law of such State to be contracted; and provided, further, that the total indebtedness of any such city or county is limited
by law to ten percentum of its assessed valuation.
By another act the banks also have the right to invest in railroad
bonds under oertain restrictions. The authorization was given by
Section 2 of an act approved February 22, 1888. Subsequently (April
27, 1838,) this Section 2 was repealed. On March 27, 1889, however,
The section is as follows
it was again re-enacted.
Section 2. That it shall be lawful for any savings bank in this State
to invest its funds in first mortgage bonds of any railroad company
which has paid dividends of not less than four per centum per annum
regularly, on their entire capital stock, for a period of not less than
five years next previous to the purchase of such bonds, or in any consolidated mortgage bonds of any such company authorized to be issued
to retire the entire bonded debt of such company.
The other law referred to above passed in 1889 amending section 2
of the law of 1878 is as below. It relates to loans on collaterals
Section 2. That hereafter it shall not be lawful for any saving institution in this State to loan the money on deposit with the same, or any
part thereof, upon notes, bills of exchange or drafts, excepting upon
the additional pledge of collateral security or securities, which collateral security or securities shall be of the same nature and character as
those in which the money deposited may be invested, as directed in the
first section of this act, or the capital stocks of national and State banks,
or other corporations of this State, which nave not defaulted in the
payment of interest dividends within two years next preceding the
time of such loan, and then only to the exteut of eighty per centum of
the market value of such collaterals provided, that the total amount
of such loans shall not exceed fifteen per centum of the total deposits
held by such institution.
In addition to the foregoing (according to section 27 of the general
law of 1876) the managers can keep on hand or on deposit in any bank
in the State, or in any trustor safe deposit company in New Jersey,
New York or Pennsylvania, an available fund of not exceeding ten per
cent of the whole amount of deposits with such corporation, or loan
the same on pledge of the securities named in the first section cited
above. Also (according to section 28 of the general law of 1876) they
can dexiosit temporarily in banks the excess of current daily
receipts over payments until such time as they may be judiciously

This city got into financial difficulties through making extensive
improvements. Interest was defaulted February 1, 1879, and a
compromise was finally effected with the bondholders, by which new 4
percent bonds dated July 1, 1882, were issued in exchange for the
old 7 per cent bonds turned in at 50 per cent of their face value.
Elizabeth is in Union County.

S.
Jersey City formerly suffered greatly from difficulty in collecting
taxes and assessments. Under the Martin Act, however, passea
some years ago by the Legislature, arrears of taxes are made liens on
the property, and if not paid within three years the property can be
sold to satisfy them. The city has also succeeded in adjusting,the taxes
with the railroads, and the latter now pay into the treasurv about
$225,000 annually. On Feb. 1 3, 1 900, the citizens authorized the purchase of a water plant (now building) for the sum of $7,595,000. V.
70, p. 344. Jersey City is in Hudson County.

This oity, of Union County, was declared bankrupt in 1882, and a compromise of the debt exclusive of the water debt ($185,000) was forthwith agreed to with most of the leading creditors at 35 cents on the
dollar, the debt, exclusive of water debt, then amounting to about
$1,200,000. This settlement was completed in 1894, and interest is
now paid promptly on the new bonds. The water bonds were renewed
In 1891 at 4 per cent, an agreement having been made in 1890 by which
all accrued interest at 7 per cent was adjusted at the 35 per cent rate.
Interest on the water bonds is also promptly paid.

redemption of the same within thirty years.
In townships, the only authority, except that of the school directors
to borrow money, is in the road supervisors, who have no power to
create bonded indebtedness, but simply to make a temporary loan for
necessary expenses, which must be provided for by an assessment of
township tax rate, known as road tax.

and are as follows.
Article IX, Sec. 4. >"o debt shall be created by, or on behalf of. the

and the debt created to supply deficiencies in revenue shall never
exceed, in the aggregate at any one time, one million of dollars.
Section 5. All laws authorizing the borrowing of money by, and on

Section 11. To provide for the payment of the present State debt, and
any additional debt contracted as aforesaid, the General Assembly
shall continue and maintain the sinking fund sufficient to pay the
accruing interest on such debt, and annually to reduce the principal
thereof "by a sum not less than two hundred and fifty thousand dollars
the said sinking fund shall consist of the proceeds of the sales of the
public works, or any part thereof, and of the income or proceeds of the
sale of any stocks owned by the Commonwealth, together with other
funds and resources that may be designated by law, and shall be
increased from time to time by assigning to it any part of the taxes or
other revenue of the State not required for the "ordinary and current
expenses of government, and unless in case of war, invasion or insurrection, no part of the said sinking fund shall be used or applied otherwise than in the extinguishment of the public debt.
Section 12. The moneys of the State, over and above the necessary reserve, shall be used in" the payment of the debt of the State, either

State, or member or officer of the General Assembly", shall be a misdemeanor, and shall be punished as may be provided by law; hut part of
such punishment shall be disqualification to hold office for a period of
not less than five years.
State loans in Pennsylvania, whether created for original indebtedness or authorized to fund existing indebtedness, are usually negotiated through the Governor and Commissioners of the sinking fund.
The last act of the Pennsylvania Legislature authorizing a public
loan was the act of June 8, 1881, when a thirty-year loan was effected
to fund existing indebtedness at a lower rate of interest.
The earliest date at which the last of the existing indebtedness of
Pennsylvania will mature is February 1. 1912, and under existing arrangements the accumulations in the sinking fund will at that time
pay the total State indebtedness.

councils, municipal debts being created by ordinance.
The creation of county, city and other municipal indebtedness is

Article IX, Sec. 7. The General Assembly shall not authorize any
county, city, borough, township or incorporated district to become a

valuation of property, without the assent of the electors thereof at a
public election in such manner as shall be provided by law but any
city the debt of which now exceeds seven per centum of such assessed
valuation may be authorized by law to increase the same three per
centum, in the aggregate at any one time, upon such valuation.

SAVINGS BANKS INVESTMENTS-POWERS AND RESTRICTIONS.— Philadelphia is, we believe, entitled to the distinction
of starting the first savings institution in the United States. The
this association bore was the " Philadelphia Savings Fund
Society," and it still exists, bearing the same name. Originally the
name
bank was not incorporated, but was a voluntary organization, sucb
Great Britain being at that time of a like character. Thedate of the organization was November 27, 1S16, and the bank wasopened for business December 2, 1816. Mr. Hutchinson, who, now
holds the office of President, states that the oldest ledgei of the company
goes back to the time of opening, and shows a deposit on that day
(December 2, 1816) of five dollars. The company was not incorporated until February 25, 1819.
It is surprising that Pennsylvania, although engaged in such an early
venture in the department of savings institutions, should have made
so little progress in the same department since. Indeed, the second
organization does not bear date until 1847, and we think there had
only been 10 mutual savings institutions organized in the whole Statefroin 1816 down to the early part of 1890. We may assume, however
that this slow development was in no measure due to a lack of desirefor savings banks on the part of the people of that common
wealth.
That such institutions were sought and needed is
sufficiently evident from the fact that nine of the ten companies referred to above reported in 1S90 that they held $63,957,341 of
deposits. In 1889 a general law, facilitating the incorporation of savings banks, was passed by the Legislature. Since then there has been
a small addition to the number of institutions, the total doing business
in the State on Xov. 29, 1S99. being 16, with deposits aggregating
$99,261,413.
The provisions of the special charters are all liberal as to investments. A law passed in 1885, and a supplement of the same passed
in 1889, authorizing the extension for twenty years of special charters, contains the following.
•'Provided also, that no * * * Savings Institution or Savings
Bank having no capital stock, renewing or extending its charter,
corporate rights and franchises, under the" provisions of this act, shall
thereafter be allowed the privileges of a bank of discount, nor be
allowed to loan any money received on deposit, except first mortgage
or lien upon real estate within this commonwealth, upon the bonds or
securities of the United States or of this State, or upon county, city,
borough, township or school bonds of any county, city, borough, township or school district within this commonwealth, or any other good
societies in
#
and
ralid securities."
Authority to loan on any " good and valid security "appears to confer about as broad a discretion upon the managers as could be
expressed in a statute.
It was not until 1889. as already stated, that a general law faciliThat
tating the organization of savings institutions was passed.
law of 1889 is' indeed well adapted not only for facilitating, but forstimulating, the growth of the system.
Its influence in the latterdirection would seem to be assured under the liberality of the
provisions respecting investments. The following is section 17, which
contains the investment limitations; we would especially direct
attention to subdivision four of this section:
Section 17.— It shall be lawful for the trustees of any savings bank
to invest money deposited therein only as follows:
(1.) In the stocks or bonds or interest-bearing notes or the obligations of the United States, or those for which the faith of the United
States is pledged to provide for the payment of the interest and the
principal.
(2) In the stocks or bonds ef the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
bearing interest.
(3) In the stocks or bonds of any State in the Union that has not
within ten years previous to making such investments, by such corporation, defaulted in the payment of"any part of either principal or interest of any debt authorized by any Legislature of such State to be
contracted.
(4) In the stocks or bonds of any city, county, town or village of
anv State of the United States, issued pursuant to the authority of any
law of the State, or in any interest-bearing obligations issued by the
citv or county in which such bank shall be situated.
(5) In bonds and mortgages on unincumbered, improved real estate,
situated in this State.
It will be noted that according to the foregoing (sub-division
four), Pennsylvania savings banks are allowed to invest their
deposits in the bonds and stocks of any city, county town or village in
any of the United States. Furthermore, by the fifth subdivision bondsand mortgages are left to the discretion of the trustees in all purchases,
except that they must be first mortgages on improved real estate in
Pennsylvania. The next section (18) relates to the temporary deposit
of funds in banks and trust companies. It makes it lawful to deposit
temporarily in banks or trust companies the excess of current daily
receipts over the payments until such time as the same can be judioiously invested in the securities named above.

debt from 1865 to 1894 will be found in the State and City Supplement of April, 1894, page 72. The present extent and condition of

TOTAL DEBT,
ETC.—The
on March
total liabilities
1900, were
1,
The
assets on Mar. 1, 1899, were $934,743; assets in excess of liabilities $164,993. The total assets include bank stocks $308,450 : mortgages on railroads $385,000, and bonds, $161,750.
ASSESSED VALUATION.—The total assessed valuation of the
State in 1890 was $74,134,401; in 1897 it was $77,632,079.
$769,750.
DEBT LIMITATION.—Neitherthe new
Constitution (adopted
June
nor the old Constitution nor the State statutes oontain any
general provisions authorizing bond issues or limiting the debt-makinj
power, except that the new Constitution
4, 1897,)
(1) Forbids the State (Article 8, Sec. 3) to borrow money or oreate
debt, "but pursuant to an Act of the General Assembly passed with
the concurrence of three-fourths of all the members elected to each
House, except to supply casual deficiencies, repel invasion, suppress
insurrections, defend the State in war or pay existing debts."
(2) Forbids any county, city, town or other municipality (Article 8,
Sec. 8) to "lend its credit or appropriate money to, or assume the debt
of, or become a shareholder or joint owner in, or with, any private
corporation or any person or company whatever."
(3) Forbids any corporation (Article 9, Sec. 1) to be created, etc., by
special act, "but only by or under general law"; "but the foregoing
provisions shall not apply to municipal corporations, banks," etc.
The above indicates that the authority as regards municipalities [except as already specified in number (2)] rests with the General
Assembly, and the General Assembly always passes special aots to
provide for special occasions and needs.
POPULATION OF STATE.—The population of Delaware has been

Maryland limiting the powerof the Legislature to authorize
either by the State or by its municipalities. No general limit for cities
and towns has been fixed by the Legislature, nor is there any general
authorization to be found in the statutes under which cities and towne
oan 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 affecting
the loan with respect to which he may need information.

SAVINGS BANKS INVESTMENTS.-There are in
banking laws under which savings banks maybe
this State genorganized, and
yet we notice that even in 1890 a 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 «f 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 corporation 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 referring to that subject states that the " corporation shall have
" power to borrow money, receive money on deposit, loan money
taking such security therefor, either real 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 provision, since no limit is made and loaning on bond and mortgage
is always a legitimate part of the business of savings banks.

The faith of the United States was pledged to secure the payment of
the interest on these bonds and to maintain a sinking fund sufficient to
redeem them all by maturity. The issue is limited to $15,000,000 and
is exempt from taxation by Federal, State or municipal authority. The
coupon bonds are for $50 and $500 each, the registered bonds $1,000
and $5,000 each.
INTEREST on the bonds is paid at the United States Treasury in
Washington and at the Sub-Treasury in New York.

adoption of the Constitution of 1851 the whole situation in these particulars has changed, the legislative power with respect to the State
having been limited. The same is in large measure true also of the
State of Ohio
municipalities.
ITS
to the State's power to contract debt, this is regulated under
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 exception to the foregoing; it grants the power to contract debt in case of invasion, of insurrection, of war or of the redemption of the then existing
indebtedness. Section 3 reaffirms the limit, except as above specified.
Section 4 forbids the loaning of the State credit. Section 5 further forbids
the assumption of debts by States. We insert these five sections in full.
Section 1. [Debt limited to seven 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 the creation of sucn
debts shall be applied to the purpose for which it was obtained or to
re-pay the debts so contracted and to no other purpose whatever.
Section 2. [Additional and for what purpose.] In addition to the
above limited power the State may contract debts to repel invasion,
suppress insurrection, defend the State in war, oc to redeem the present
outstanding indebtedness of the State; but the money arising from the
contracting of such debts shall be applied to the purpose for which it
was raised, or to re-pay such debts, and to no other purpose whatever;
and all debts incurred to redeem the present outstanding indebtedness of the State shall be so contracted as to be payable by the
sinking fund hereinafter provided for as the same shall accumulate.
Section 3. [The State to create no other debt.] Except the debts above
specified in Sections 1 and 2 of this article, no debt whatever shall hereafter be created by or on behalf of the State.
Section 4. [Credit of State; the State shall notbecome joint owner or
stockholder.] The oredit of the State shall not in any manner be given
or loaned to or in aid of any individual association or corporation whatever: nor shall the State ever hereafter become a Joint owner or stockholder in any company or association in this State or elsewhere formed
for any purpose whatever.
Section 5. [No assumption of debts by the State.] The State shall
never assume the debts of any county, city, town or township, or of
any corporation whatever, unless such debt shall have been created to
repel invasion, suppress insurrection or defend the State in war.
The foregoing sections complete the limitation as to State debt and
oredit. Sections 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 of Article 8 cover the matter of sinking fluids referred to in Section 2 above. But they need not be published
here.

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

One
at first sight would infer from Beotion «i article 8 above cited that
could not subscribe to the stock of or loan money to railroads, as
railroad-; are corporations and joint-stock companies. That, however,
is not a correct conclusion, as was decided in the ease 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 legality of that proceeding this action was brought. The Court's opinion is
verv full and explicit, the conclusion being that from " the language
"of the section it is <iuite evident that it wax not intended to prohibit
>' the
construction of railroads nor indeed to prohibit any species of
"public improve/units. 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" proveruents had been accomplished."
In compliance with section t>, 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 clas9 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 First Class 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,cities
—
500 inhabitants.
Cities in the Second Class— First grade includes all cities of less than
31,500 and more than 30,500 inhabitants second grade all less than
30,500 and more than 20,000 inhabitants third grade all less than
20,000 and more than 10,000 inhabitants; fourth grade all less than
10,000 and more than 5,000 inhabitants.
Villages— Of the first class include ail 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.
Hamlets—According to section 1550 of the Revised Statutes all ex;

Board

isting corporations organized as "incorporated villages for special
" purposes shall be hamlets until advanced to villages."
make any satisfactory generalization with regard
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, although 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." ?

Cincinnati is situated in Hamilton County.
In 1895 the villages of Avondale, Clifton, Linwood, Riverside and
Westwood were annexed to Cincinnati and their indebtedness was
assumed by that city. The Legislature of 1900 passed a bill providing
for the annexation of a number of surrounding villages, subject to a
vote of the places affected.
The city Sinking Fund Trustees entered into an agreement with
a New York nrni in 1898 looking to the refunding of the Cincinnati Southern Railway bonds.
This agreement was set aside
by Judge 8piegel on Aug. 18, 1898, and upon appeal the State Supreme
Court affirmed that ruling. See Chronicle, V. 67, p. 1 89 and 442;
V. 68, p. 1143. The Board of Trustees of the Cincinnati Southern
Railway has also twice advertised for proposals to refund these bonds,
ilrst on Dec. 20, 1898 (see Chronicle, Nov. 26, 1898. p. 1122), all bids
then received being rejected. They again called for proposals July
19, 1899 (V. 68, p. 1236), but only a small portion had been offered for
extension when litigation again blocked further refunding operations.
This suit was dismissed on e<ept. 7, 1-99, by Judsre Davis, of the Common Pleas Court, and the case is now (April, 1900,) pending in tne
State Supreme Court on appeal. By agreement made in Marob, 1900,
between the two boards the Ruard of Trustees will have until July,
1901, to extend time of payment of these bonds, and if refunding is
not accomplished by that time the Sinking Fund Trustees will undertake the operation.— V. 70, p. 495.

fund tax $0-30, and Educational Institution tax ^O-ie^, in addition
to the general fund tax of $0-9i> as given above.
DEBT LIMITATION.—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 State, Section 5 of article 10 provides that no debt
except to meet casual deficits in revenue, to pay interest, to repel invasion &c. can be contracted. The seotion in full is subjoined.
Creation of Debt Forbidden.—No law shall authorize any debt to be
contracted on behalf of the State except in the following cases To
meet casual deficits in the revenue to pay interest on the State debt
to repel invasion, suppress insurrection, or, if hostilities be threatened,
provide for the public defense.
In the sixth section of the same article the last clause prohibits the
assumption by the State of the debts of any municipality or corporation.
The clause referred to reads as follows.
Nor shall the General Assembly ever on behalf of the State assum e
the debts of any county, city, town or township, nor of any corporation
1
Vol.
LXX
Also (if the laws that have been passed are constitutional), the limit
of 2 per cent may be exceeded for the purpose of making gravel roads
(see above), the Supreme Court having decided that gravel road bonds
are not properly an indebtedness of the county.
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.
POPULATION OF STATE.— The population of Indiana has been
as follows in the years named.

Between 1860 and 1870 the increase was 330,209, or 24-45 per cent,
between 1870 and 1880 297,664, or 17-71 per oent, and between 1880*
and 1890 214,103, or 10-82 per cent.

SECOND,
municipalities, the provision contained in the
Constitution seems to be equally clear and emphatic, and, as will be
found^flxes 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
as
to
full below.
Limited — Excess Void.— No
or municipal
political
It should be said in connection with the above that several laws
have been enacted since the foregoing constitutional limit was adopted
(March 14 1881), and bonds have been issued by counties thereunder
beyond the 2 per cent limit, for the construction of "free gravel, stone
or other macadamized roads." Several such laws were passed at the
1899 session of the Legislature. But in the case of Strieb vs. Cox,
Treas., Ill Ind., the Supreme Court of Indiana held that gravel road
bonds are not properly indebtedness of the county— hence do not come
within the inhibition of Section 13 of the Constitution. (See editoria
in State and City Supplement for October, 1899, page 3.)
In
1899 the State Supreme Court, in the case of Wilcoxon versus City
of Bluffton, ruled that bonds issued by a city at the request of the
School Trustees must be counted in determining whether the city is
indebted to the constitutional limit of 2 per cent.
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
and is as
follows.
Counties cannot take stock.
No county
shall subscribe for stock in
any incorporated company unless the same be paid for at the time of
such subscription; nor shall any county loan its credit to any incorporated company, nor borrow money for the 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 authorize 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

Constitutional limit of 2 per cent in the matter of creating certain kinds
of debt. For instance, Section 5749 of the Revised Statutes authorizes
any county to issue bonds when necessary to construct, complete or

debt; in those cases county commissioners may borrow for that purpose not exceeding 1 per cent on assessed valuation and issue bonds
therefor.

Limit of one per cent may be exceeded in counties for funding purposes in certain cases where the aggregate indebtedness in 1879
