L: v Returning to the municipal market in October, we find that shortterm financing in the period amounted to $69,561,321, the largest part of which was contributed by various housing authorities. These were — complete record of the various issues sold during a 1573 $181,264,294 for. refunding; in 1943 the figure was $435,223,191, of which $259,481,836 was for refunding; for the first ten months of 1944 the total is $533,668,942, and includes refunding issues aggregat¬ any year. . 1,056,135,083 be. 1923-1931 the yearly volume of sales, other than refunding, was approximately $1,400,000,000. In subsequent years up to and includ¬ ing 1941, the annual average was about $1,000,000,000, but this figure fhcluded heavy borrowing for refunding purposes. The impact of such financing during those years is indicated in the following figures showing the volume of refunding negotiated in various years: 1941, $434,509,900; 1940, $482,383,465; 1939, $195,079,000; 1938, $129,144,000; 1937, $190,678,795; 1936, $382,442,632; 1935, $365,150,304; 1934, $136,475,679; 1933, $37,080,049;1932, $87,000,429. In connection with the figure for 1933, it may be noted that the yedr in question was prob¬ ably the worst period in the history of municipal credit, defaults and depression conditions having combined to reduce the total output of both new capital and refunding issues to a. level of only $520,478,023. As for municipal financing in the years beginning with 1942, the diminutive totals reflect the war conditions which made it impossible for States and communities to undertake new projects or even, to make other than,nominal improvements or repairs. Thus in 1942 the total volume of bond sales was only $523,704,607 and this included Exempt tractor fuel and distil¬ lates from the motor fuel tax in i 1,211,857,702 118,736,328 1931 Page years 1943, and other taxes on 1,156,129,993 155,536,473 1929.

This issue was brought out to provide for the redemption ot an equal amount of outstanding debt which is not subject to call until December, 1945. Pending that date, the city will reinvest proceeds of the refunding issue in Treasury obligations, thus compensating in some measure for dual interest that must be paid on the debt sched¬ uled to .be redeemed and the current loan. Another community that elected to anticipate its refunding credit needs in October was the City of Miami, Fla., which disposed of an issue of $7,600,000 to provide for liquidation of outstanding obliga¬ tions on which the next immediate call date is July 1, 1945. As for October borrowings for post-war capital projects, the outstanding awards of that, nature included $15,000,000 by Portland, Ore.; $14,000,000 Houston, Texas, and $9,450,000 by Baltimore, Md. With regard to possible additional financing in the near future in anticipation of post-war improvement programs, it may be ob¬ served that at the recent general election, voters in various States and communities approved bond issue proposals amounting to more than $225,000,000. As for the results of balloting in the respective units of government, these are being given in our regular State by State survey of municipal news and will be found initially in our issue of November.13.
