special activity

although the [pendency[of linancial questions of
importance before the Legislatures of Missouri, Tennessee, North
Carolina, and Virginia were calculated to affect the securities of
those States.
In Missouri the State has a large amount of bond
in State bonds,

falling due in 1875 and 187G, for which provision will be made
in new bonds.
Nothing is said of paying the interest of the ole
gold bonds in coin. In Virginia an attempt was made, hut
without success, to repeal in some shape the law which permits
coupons of the old consols to be received for taxes. In Tennessee
the Governor vetoed the bill which was to prohibit State officers
from making temporary loans for State purposes, but nothing
further is known about the July interest.
North Carolina has
passed a funding bill, of which the main provisions are given in

Maine.— The sinking funds. January, 1875, were

$1,514,022, reducing the total debt to a net amount
of $5,574,378.

Maryland.— The assessed valuation of property in
1874 was $463,034,812 on which the rate.of taxation
was 20 5-16 cents per $100; income from dividends
on railroad, canal and other stocks owned by the
State was $139,469. The State has largely assisted
canals and railroads, and holds $4,469,783 of stocks
and bonds of solvent companies, besides $55,459 in
the sinking fund, leaving only $6,625,236 of debt,
without any offset; the State also holds $22,122,441

unproductive securities.

On two investments

only, the Comptroller says that the State has met no
loss, viz., the Baltimore & Ohio and the Columbia
& Port Deposit railroads.

Massachusetts is paid in coin.

Massachusetts stands higher, perhaps, than that

North Carolina.—North Carolina is more heavily

property, than any other State. Numerous plans of
compromi-es writh her cre litors have been suggested,
but none agreed unon. There is a strong sentiment
in the State against recognizing the special tax
bonds at all. A lengthy extract from the Treasurer's
report was given in V. 20, p. 84. Total property was

assessed in 1872 at $123,507,b23, a low valuation. In¬

matures.

London at 91)£, gold. In March, 1875, Mr. Turner,

city auditor, gave his estimates for the revenue lequired for the coming financial year 1875-76, com¬

292,497, against 177,840 in 1860.

Valuation of real

property in 1874, including the recent annexations,
was

congratulation that in meeting the actual wants
of the municipality and avoiding the borrowing of
money for other than for the additional supply of
water, extension of the water works, and extensive
and costly street improvements, the tax per each
thousand dollars will be largely reduced from last
year.

During the last forty years, with a single excep¬
tion, the taxable valuation has shown an annual
increase. Taking the valuation of 1874, $798,755,050,
and, assuming that the valuation of 1875 can be safely
placed at say $800,000,000, the rate of taxation will be
less than $14 per $l,0u0, a material reduction from
the rate ($15 60 per $1,000) levied last year, and about
the average rate for the last eleven years—$13 88.”
The Mayor’s message on finances will be found in
V. 18, p. 65.

Brooklyn.—The comptroller’s report is not issued
one year after the period to which it
relates, and is therefore of little use for practical
purposes.
The Mayor, in his message, January,
1875, stated that the debt chargeable on taxation
increased in 1874 only $525,115, against $2,426,516 in
1873, $1,591,411 in 1872, and $3,590,531 in 1871. The
total debt is stated at $35,048,621, of which $11,685,365 is chargeable on assessments for local improve¬
ments, and $10,620,000 is chargeable on water rents,
Amount of sinking fund to be used for the redemp¬
tion of this debt is $3,028,278. The Mayor recom¬
mends that no more be expended
on public
works except the Brooklyn bridge, which will
require about $750,000 per year.
Population in
1870, 396,200, against 266,661 in 1860.
Valuation

till about

of property in King’s County in 1874, by the
State Board of Equalization, $179,085,870 leaving
$12,793,256 as a charge on general taxation
for real estate, and personal, $18,975,980; they esti¬
mated the true value of real estate to be $426,898,740.
The Board of Supervisors valued the total taxable

property of Brooklyn in 1873 at $216,078,170, and of
Kings Connty at $227,699,048. The debt of Kings
Connty, separate from the debt of Brooklyn, is
$3,654,712. Average tax rate in 1874, $8 53 per $100,
against $8 46 in 1873. (V. 19, p. 142,652.)

the State our funded debt cannot be increased above
the present amount for some years to come.
Of our
$13,473,000 of funded debt $4,581,000 is on account of
the Water Works, which last yeur yielded an income
of $730,144 21, and from *lie rapid extension of the
mains and increase of population, will yield much
more

largely in future.

Practically, therefore, the

funded debt is $8,897,000, being the

President Jewett said in his report, Dec. 1875: “ The
decrease in the expenses was not in a ratio equal to
the decrease in ear ings. The reduction of earnings
was attributable as much to the reduction in the rate
of
compensation as in the reduction of quantities.
In my judgement, there is nothing in these compar¬
ative results which should have the least tendency
to discourage the directors or stockholders of the
company, hut that, on the contrary, there is much
te give confidence in the great strength and almost
inexhaustible resources of the road.” Dividends
have
been
paid as

New Orleans, St. Louis & Chicago.—This was a
consolidation of New Orleans, Jackson A Great
Northern and the Mississippi Central, July, 1874.

Operated by the Southern Railroad Association, and

in connection with Illinois Central. Of the consoli¬
dated mortgage the issue is $8,000,000 on each road,

enough being retained to redeem old debt. Illinois
Central buys up $200,000
per year of consolidated
mortgage bonds. Net earnings of the two roads in
1873 were $1,415,453. Annual report V. 19, p. 119.
New Yoi'k, Boston & Montreal.—Proposed consoli¬
dation of several roads from New York to Rutland,
with branches, 350 miles in all. Company defaulted
since the panic, being unable to sell second mort¬
gage bonds in London. In litigation.
New York Central & Hudson River.—The con
solidation of New York Central and Hudson River
was made Nov. 1, 1869.
In 1868 the stock of the
separate companies was $42,712,700. The scrip divi¬
dend on New York Central of 80 per cent was made
in December, 1868. On consolidation, 27 per cent
was distributed on Central stock and 85 per cent on
Hudson.
The mortgage loan for $40,600,000 is to
retire prior debt, and the balance for laying third
and fourth track and other improvements. These
tracks were nearly
completed from Buffalo to Albany
Jan. 1,1875, thus furnishing a double track road ex¬

clusively for freight traffic. The Harlem Railroad
was teased April, 1873.
