THE INVESTMENTS OF THE SAVINGS BANKS
OF THIS STATE.
On two or three occasions during the last twelve
or fift(ien- roam, we have presented statistics to show
the investments of the
the extent and charac-tet
desirable
savings institutions of this State. A
to bring the figures down to the present year in ',qew
of the growing magnitude of the deposits and resources
of these institutions. Notwithstanding the panic
of 1907 and the resulting great prostration of trade,
prolonged for many months, during which a large
portion of the laboring population was reduced
to idleness and the income of many other persons
who patronize savings institutions was considerably
shortened, savings deposits as a whole suffered no
reduction. The growth during the last two years
has been smaller in both ratio and amount than we
have been accustomed to see in normal periods, but
there has been gain, nevertheless, and for Jan. 1909
the total was larger than it had ever been before and
for July 1 1909 there was a yet further addition to
the amount.
In the present article we shall confine ourselves to
the figures for the 1st of January, since this is the
latest date for which details of the investments are
available. With the constant expansion in the
deposits, the aggregates now reach huge dimensions.
On January 1 1909 the total of the deposits fell
but little short of 1,400 million dollars, being in exact
figures $1,396,443,328, while aggregate resources
actually exceeded 1M thousand million dollars, the
precise figures in this latter instance being $1,503,240,206. ForJuly 1 1909 there was a further addition
to the deposits of $48,531,532. As indicating how the
financial disturbances and business depression served
to reduce the growth in deposits without actually
checking it, we may note that the total at $1,396,-




No. 2318.

443,328 for Jan. 1 1909 compares with $1,380,399,090
for Jan. 1 1908 and $1,362,035,837 for Jan. 11907,
giving an addition for the two years of only $34,407,491, whereas in the calendar year preceding the
addition had been nearly $70,000,000, the deposits for
Jan. 1 1906 having been reported $1,292,358,867, from
which there was a rise to $1,362,035,837 in the twelve
months to Jan. 11907.
Interest in the investments lies in their distribution
among the various classes of securities in which the
savings banks are allowed to employ their funds.
Since the revision made in 1905 there has been no very
material change in the statute defining the securities in
which these savings institutions may lodge their
moneys, but the policy of the State in permitting the
purchase of railroad mortgages has at times been
criticised. These criticisms have come from those
who argue that the municipalities of this State are in
constant need of new money and are putting out
additional bonds for this purpose from time to time
(the City of New York being a tremendous borrower,
.as is well known), and that the State itself is appearing
in the market for additional funds in connection with
s work on the Erie Canal and also for the purpose
of bailing new roads. It is contended that if the
State shoulTryfffthe'Walks the privilege of buying
railroad bonds and limited the same to mu*ipal set
curities, a larger and better marl asivrihese latter
could be obtained. Such a view would appeg to
ignore the needs of the savings banks themselv6,,,
and if the policy indicated were adopted and had the
effect intended, the result would be that dividends to
savings depositors would, perforce, be reduced in
order that the municipalities of the State might be
able to float their obligations at lower rates of interest.
The real truth is that savings deposits in New York
have been expanding in such a way that an enlargement of the scope of their investment field was an
absolute necessity, having rogard for the situation
and interests of that important part of the community
to which savings banks chiefly cater. The banks
were for the first time given authority to invest in
first mortgage railroad bonds in 1898. The railroad
list, at first very much restricted, was gradually added
to, and in 1905 a further amendment was made fixing
general standards for future additions, both in the
case of railroad securities and municipal securities.
On Jan. 11898, when the banks did not yet possess
authority to purchase railroad bonds, the deposits,
while large, amounted, nevertheless, to no more than
$766,684,916. For the 1st of January of the present
year the total, as we have already seen, was no less
than $1,396,443,328. In this period:of eleven years,

I VoL. Lx.xxix.

therefore, the volume of deposits for which the managers of the institutions were obliged to find remunerative employment was added to in amount of $630,000,000.
But the considerations supporting the addition
of railroad investments to the list are not found alone
in the great increase in the volume of the deposits. A
further reason has been that some of the old forms
of investment, in which the banks have had a considerable part of their moneys employed, have been
growing scarce, or else, by reason of their prices, have
been getting beyond the reach of the banks as remunerative investments. On Jan. 1 1898 the savings
banks held considerably over $100,000,000 of United
States Government bonds and over $56,000,000
of State bonds. But very few States have been
putting out new bonds in large amounts in recent
decades, New York and Massachusetts being about
the only conspicuous exceptions to the rule. Elsewhere old issues of State bonds have been gradually
paid off, and, as already stated, new issues have not
been very extensive. Here then, was one class
of obligations for which a substitute had to be found.
As far as United States Government bonds are
concerned, the situation there has been that, owing
to the refunding operations of the Government which
have been conducted in the interval and the fact that
there has been such an urgent demand for United
States bonds as security for circulation and for public
deposits, this class of bonds has been ruling at prices
where it became unprofitable for the banks to buy
or to hold them. The change in that respect is indicated by the fact that, whereas on Jan. 1 1898 the
New York savings institutions held $100,708,450 of
Government bonds and $5,589,800 of District of
Columbia bonds,on Jan.1 1909 their holdings of United
States bonds amounted to only $4,348,580 and of
District of Columbia bonds to but $361,800.
In view of the tremendous growth in the deposits
and the passing out of reach of these other forms
of investment, it must be considered that the trustees
have shown no undue desire to avail of the new
privilege, and purchase railroad bonds. On the contrary, they have displayed a wise discretion, and have
distributed their investments quite equably among
the different classes of securities open to them., On
Jan. 1 1909 their entire holdings of railroad moligage
.
bonds aggregated $227,934998. -This—is- no mean
sum obviously, but it trAist be considered in reference
to the 19s.t...-t-halrtrie banks at the same date had
.
aggregate resources of no less than $1,503,240,206.
.
I 3 worthy of note, too, that even during the last
or three years no disposition has been evinced to
enlarge the holdings of railroad mortgages. This is especially significant inasmuch as during 1907 and 1908
some extraordinary opportunities existed to acquire
bonds at very low prices. Owing to the panic and the
antecedent crusade on the part of the national and
the State governments against the railroads, prices
of railroad securities suffered a tremendous shrinkage.
In these circumstances a considerable addition to
savings bank holdings could have occasioned no surprise. As a matter of fact, nothing of the kind occurred. Possibly the very attacks which were responsible for the declines in values also served to deter
bank managers from extending their quotas of the
same. At all events, at $227,934,998 for Jan. 1 1909
the holdings of railroad bonds compare with $226,649,598 for Jan. 1 1908 and $229,758,798 for Jan. 1
1907. In the two years from 1907 to 1909 there was
thus actually a decrease in the railroad mortgage investments of nearly $2,000,000.
,
It is further worthy of note that in these two years
the holdings of State and city bonds have also diminished. Here, too, then,the allurement of low prices
did not tempt the trustees to extend their lines
of these classes of investments. During the last
fifteen or eighteen months prices of municipal obligations have again been on the up-grade, the same as
market values of railroad securities, but during 1907




extremely low figures were reached and many real
bargains could be obtained; yet the savings bank
officials manifested no inclination to avail of the
same. Observe that the aggregate par value of the
holdings of city bonds of this State January 1 1909
was $186,897,639, against $189,049,179 January 1
1908 and $190,285,565 January 1 1907; furthermore, the holdings of city bonds of other States
fell to $108,880,949 from $111,918,210 January 1
1908 and $116,379,249 January 1 1907. There
has also been a decrease in the holdings of State
bonds other than those of this State.
The reason why the savings bank officials did
not pick up bargains in the municipal bond field
and the railroad mortgage market would appear to
be that they saw equally attractive bargains in
another direction much more to their liking. The
savings banks have always preferred real estate
mortgages to all other forms of investment, as is
evident from the fact that they have been employing
the vast preponderating extent of their funds in
purchases of that class of obligations. The discredit attaching to everything else during the monetary
stringency and financial disturbances extended likewise
to real estate mortgages,and it was possible for buyers
of Auch mortgages to obtain higher rates of interest
than for a decade or more. The trustees of the
savings banks therefore gave free rein to their preference for such obligations and greatly added to their
holdings of the same. That conclusion is fully
authorized, seeing that for January 1 1909 the real
estate mortgages are reported at $747,119,428, against
$722,365,987 for January 1 1908, $688,066,201 for
January 1 1907 and only $639,742,228 for January 1
1906. In the three years the addition under this
head has been over $107,000,000. In the same
three years the deposits have risen only a little over
$104,000,000 and the increase in total resources
has been less than 973' million dollars.
The changes which have occurred in the various
classes of holdings the last three yeam is interesting
that we have had the frIlowing tabular statement
prepared giving, full details of the investments for
the 1st , January in each of the last four years:

Note.—The State Banking Department figures the surplus and resources for
Jan. 1 1909 on the basis of the so-called "investment value" of the securities held.
In the above we use the market value, In order to preserve the basis of comparison
with previous years. As the investment value was $658,702,198, as against the
above market value of $623,331,857, the effect of the use of the former is to raise
surplus from 5105.493,132 to $138,863,473, and total resources from $1,503,240,206
to $1,536,610,547.

Another comparison seems desirable in order to
reveal clearly the investment trend on the part of
the trustees of the savings institutions. We have
had a table prepared contrasting the details of the
investments on January 1 1909 with those for January 1
1898, the latter the annual date just preceding the
time when the banks were given authority to invest
in railroad mortgages. Before presenting the table,
however, it is proper to point out that in the line

Nov. 1909.]

STATE AND CITY SECTION.

of municipal investments the statute regulating the
investments has also undergone a material change in
the interval of eleven Years. When the law was
remodeled in 1905 as regards the railroad investments
by fixing general standards for future additions to
the list, it was also remodeled as to the municipal list
so as to widen the choice and extend the latitude
of bank trustees. Previously the lawmaker had
designated particular cities the bonds of which
might be purchased; under the change general requirements were fixed and authority given to purchase
the obligations of any city that measured up to such
requirements.
Stated in brief, prior to the 1905 amendment, the
banks were limited in their investments to the stocks
or bonds of the following cities[in addition to the bonds
of any city, county, town or village, school district and
union free school district in this State]: Boston, Worcester, Cambridge, Lowell, Fall River, Springfield and
Holyoke in the State of Massachusetts; St. Louis in
the State of Missouri; Cleveland, Cincinnati and
Toledo in the State of Ohio; Detroit and Grand
Rapids in the State of Michigan; Providence in the
State of Rhode Island; New Haven and Hartford in
the State of Connecticut; Portland in the State of
Maine; Philadelphia Pittsburgh, Allegheny, Reading
and Scranton in the State of Pennsylvania; Minneapolis and St. Paul in the State of Minnesota; Des
Moines in the State of Iowa; Milwaukee in the State
of Wisconsin; Louisville in the State of Kentucky;
Paterson, Trenton, Newark and Camden in the
State of New Jersey; Baltimore in the State of Maryland, and Los Angeles in the State of California.
What qualification a municipal bond must now
possess in order to be eligible for the savings banks
can be seen by reference to the provisions of the
statute as printed on a subsequent page of this issue
under the State of New York, namely page 41.
In a general way, it may be said here that,aside from
the old requirements that the aggregate debt, less
water debt and sinking funds, must not exceed 7%
of the city's valuation for purposes of taxation, the
first condition is that the State in which the city is
located must have been admitted to Statehood prior
to January 1 1896. In the second place the State
must not since January 1 1861 have repudiated or
defaulted in the payment of any part of the principal
or interest of any debt authorized by the Legislature
of any such State. Then the city must have not less
than 45,000 inhabitants. Furthermore, it must
have been incorporated as a city at least twenty-five
years prior to the making of the investment. Finally,
it must never have defaulted since Jan. 1 1878 for
more than 90 days "in the payment of any part either
of principal or interest of any bond, note or other evidence of indebtedness or effected any compromise of
any kind with the holders thereof."
With' these preliminary remarks the reader is
prepared to interpret intelligently the following

The feature here is the same as in the other instance,
namely the increased liking the banks have developed
for real estate mortgages. In 1898 they held only
$358,943,901 of these mortgages, now they hold
$747,119,428-that is, they have more than doubled
this item, having added in the eleven years over
388 million dollars. The addition to deposits in the
same interval has been not quite $630,000,000 and
the addition to resources $633,000,000. Not only
has there been this large increase in the amount of
these mortgages, but the proportion which they bear
to total resources has also moved up in a marked
degree, rising from 41.27% to 49.71%. In United
States Government bonds and those of the District
of Columbia there has been a decrease, as already
noted, of over 101M million dollars. The holdings
of State bonds, except those of New York State, have
also fallen off. As against the decline here, the
$227,934,998 of railroad bonds form a new item.
In the holdings of municipal bonds there has been
an increase of nearly $115,000,000, city bonds of this
State now standing at $186,897,639, against $128,855,349 and the holdings of city bonds of other States
at $108,880,949, against $52,300,426. In ratio to
total resources there has been some falling off, of
course, with the extension of the real estate mortgage
investment and the appearance of railroad bonds as
a new field for the employment of the funds of the
institutions. Still the decline has not been very
striking. It remains to add that the increased liberty
given by the 1905 amendment for the making of investments in municipal bonds of other States appears
not to have served to displace investments in the
municipal bonds of this State in the four years since
then. In truth, there has actually been a decline in
this item during the four years, inasmuch as on
January 1 1905 the banks had held $112,303,399
of bonds of municipalities of other States, while
now the total is only $108,880.949.
DECISION REGARDING METHODS OF
ASSESSING FRANCHISE TAX.
The decision handed down on Oct. 19 by the New
York Court of Appeals in the case of The People of the
State of New York ex rel Jamaica Water Supply Co.,
respondent, vs. The gtate Board of Tax Commissioners
and the City of New York, appellants, is justly regarded
as of great value for the light it throws on-the-que,stion
of what the courts in this State would regard,in prob,:
ably a majority of cases at least, as the proper method'
of determining the valuation of special franchises for
purposes of assessment under the law of 1899. The
law had previously, viz., in 1903, been held to be constitutional in the Metropolitan Street Ry. case, but the
decision which has just been rendered is the first one
by the highest Court of the State touching on the many
questions arising in appraising special franchises for
taxation.
The decision covers a number of important points,
and the conclusions of the Court are summarized in the
syllabus to the opinion, as follows:
(1) The State Board of Tax Commissioners, in fixing
the value of a special franchise for purposes of taxation,
is not confined to any exclusive rule, but may avail
itself of any rule or method reasonably adapted to
ascertaining its true value.
(2) The courts will assume at the outset that the
valuation fixed by the board of assessors was correct,
and the party assailing the assessment has the burden
of establishing the contrary.
(3) The statute contemplates that the assessing
officers, in their return to the writ, should disclose to
the court their method of arriving at the valuation.
(4) When the method known as the "net earnings
rule" is adopted in ascertaining the value of a special

8

franchise, taxes other than the special franchise tax
should be deducted from the gross earnings in order
to determine the net earnings of the company. There
should also be deducted a reasonable amount to meet
the general depreciation of the plant not covered by
ordinary repairs.
(5) In ascertaining the proportion of the net earnings
attributable to the enjoyment of a special franchise,
under the net earnings rule, the court below might take
judicial notice that 6% should be allowed as a fair
return upon the capital invested by the company in
real estate and other tangible property. In fixing the
value of its tangible property land occupied by the plant
should be taken at its present value.
(6) Upon the question of equalization an assessment
for a special franchise tax should be made at the same
ratio of actual or true value as other property in the
county appearing on the assessment roll. The question
of unequal assessment may be reviewed by the courts
on certiorari.
(7) It would seem, in a case like this, that 7% was
a proper rate to adopt in capitalizing the surplus earnings, under the net earnings rule, to provide a sinking
fund for unforeseen contingencies.
The case was begun by a writ of certiorari directing
the State Board of Tax Commissioners to make a
return of their method of procedure in assessing the
special franchise. The latter made a general but not a
precise or itemized statement of the method of arriving
at the sum of $800,000 as the value of the special franchise of the company. The referee appointed by the
lower court (Special Term) assumed that the State
Board should have valued the relator's special franchise
by the application of what is known as the net earnings
rule, and, applying this rule as he understood it, he
reached the conclusion that the special franchise valued
in this manner would exceed the valuation fixed by the
Board. His findings and conclusions were adopted by
the Special Term, which affirmed the Board's valuation.
The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, Third
Department, while sanctioning the use of the net earnings rule, reversed the lower court's decision on the
ground that the proper application of the net earnings
rule would result in more,fev
-rcraliks, tr2atiiimi of the
relator than he had rec_eilied, and remitted the matter
to the Board frfthtii consideration and a new assessmen
e Court of Appeals likewise, while stating
t Al the Legislature has not directed that any particular
method be used in fixing the valuation, and that in its
opinion it is beyond the province of the courts to lay
down an exclusive rule applicable to all cases, and also
conceding that there are many reasonable methods
which might be employed in various cases, admits that
the net earnings rule is a fair one in the case of the
Jamaica Water Supply Co. and similar cases. The
order of the Appellate Division is modified so as to
remit the case to the Special Term instead of to the
State Board of Tax Commissioners, for further consideration.
The Court itself (Judge Willard Bartlett writing the
opinion, which is concurred in by all the Judges except
two not sitting) states that it is its purpose to express
views which may be useful to the assessing officers in
all cases where they may see fit to apply the net earnings
rule. The State was represented by Attorney-General
Edward R. O'Malley. In view of the wide interest in
the case, counsel for the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Co.,
Consolidated Gas Co. of New York, receivers of the
Metropolitan Street Ry. of this city, and other large
corporations, who were allowed to intervene, were
heard upon the appeal by leave of the Court. The
special franchise taxes due by various corporations in
the State, as fixed by the State Board of Tax Commissioners, which remain unpaid, aggregate, according to
newspaper reports, about $50,000,000, of which this
city's share is about $27,000,000. There is, of course,




Lxxxix.

no way of estimating how these amounts may be affected
by the court's ruling. It is expected, however, that
many corporations will now be willing to settle the
pending litigation against them, and that the city will
hence, to that extent, be relieved from the necessity
of issuing special revenue bonds in anticipation of such
taxes.
The Court states that special franchises consist of
(1) the intangible franchise, right or permit to use
streets and public places, and (2) the tangible property
situated in streets and public places and used in connection with the operation under the franchise. The
method of application .of the net earnings rule is thus
stated: (a) Ascertain the gross earnings; (b)deduct the
operating expenses; (c) deduct a fair and reasonable
return on that portion of the capital of the corporation
which is invested in tangible property. The resulting
balance, it is stated, gives the earnings attributable to
the special franchise, and if this balance be capitalized
at a fair rate,we have the value of the franchise. The
operating expenses should include the taxes (other than
for special franchise) for the year, the net earnings
being reduced thereby. A proper amount, according
to the particular case, should also be deducted for depreciation. In the absence of special proof, a return
of 6% -on the tangible property forming part of the
special franchise is, on the authority of the United
States Supreme Court in the Consolidated Gas Co. of
New York case (157 Fed. Rep., 849, 869), held to be a
fair one on the investment. The Court' says notice
should be taken of the fact that in the conduct of
many industrial enterprises there is a constant deterioration of the plant which is not made good by ordinary
repairs, which, of course, operates continually to lessen
the value of the tangible property which it affects.
The amount of this depreciation differs in different
enterprises, but the annual rate is usually capable of
estimate and proof by skilled witnesses. No corporation would be regarded as well conducted which did
not make some provision for the necessity of ultimately
replacing the property thus suffering deterioration; and
an allowance for this purpose should be made out of
gross earnings in order to ascertain the true earnings
capacity.
The land included in the tangible property is to be
valued as of the date of the assessment and not at its
original cost, the company to be entitled to the benefit
of the increase in value of the land. It is admitted
there may be exceptions to the rule where the property
may have increased so enormously in value as to render
a rate permitting a reasonable return on such increased
value unfair to the public, but the Court does not decide
how such facts shall be treated, as the case before it
did not present the question. It is admitted, too, that
there are obviously many cases to which the net earnings
rule would not apply at all, as, e. g., the case of a corporation which, by reason of mismanagement or other
causes, had perhaps yielded no earnings for many years.
In such cases it might be wholly contrary to the truth
to hold that the special franchise had no value simply
because there happened to have been no earnings by
which that value could be measured—in such cases
some other reasonable rule would have to be applied.
The Court deals lastly with the question of equalization, holding that the assessment on the valuation of
the franchise, which is classed as real estate, must, when
ascertained, be equalized. with other real property in
the same locality, i. e., be taxed at the same percentage
of its full value as the other real estate. It appears
that under the law no power is given to the assessors
themselves to equalize the assessment, and a modification by the Legislature in this respect is recommended.
In capitalizing the final returns the referee adopted
the rate of 7% to provide a sinking fund for unforeseen
contingencies, while the Appellate Division, without
giving any reason for the difference of opinion, said
that the surplus earnings should be capitalized at 6%.
In view of the character of the business of the relator,
however, the Court of Appeals thought the rate adopted
by the referee is preferable.

UNITED STATES DEBT.

United Stales Debt and Iis 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 comparison with previous years, we present,first, the details as they stood at the close of the last fiscal year ending June 301909;
second, the changes in those details since June 30 1009 down to Nov.1 1909; third, the items of interest-bearing debt, Arc.,
at the beginning of each fiscal year since July 11878; fourth, we publish in the "Chronicle" every month—usually the first
or second Saturday—the full detailed Government statement of the debt as reported by the Treasurer on the last day of
the previous month; some months lack of space forces us to delay the publication to a later week.
With these data at his command, it would seem as if any inquirer could satisfy himself fully with reference to every
point which might become of importance for him to know respecting the United States debt.

June 13 1898 and are known as the "War Loan." The law provided that in allotting said bonds the individual subscriptions of the lowest amount
must be first allotted. On the day the Act was signed a Treasury circular was issued (see circular In "Chronicle" of June 18 1898, page 1168) Inviting
subscriptions for 33 days, from June 13 to July 14, for the amount of bonds stated, In both coupon and registered form, coupon In denominations of

"REFUNDING CERTIFICATES" (Column 4).—Act of February 26 1879 authorized the Secretary of the Treasury to issue in exchange for lawful
money of the United States certificates of deposit of the denomination of ten dollars, bearing Interest at the rate of 4%, and convertible at any time,
with accrued Interest, into the 4% bonds described in the Refunding Act; the money so received to be applied only to the payment of the bonds bearing Interest at a rate not less than 5%. On March 12 1870 the issue of these certificates and their exchange Into 4% bonds were authorized; the certificates were to draw 4% Interest from April 1 1879 and were convertible 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. On Oct. 31
1870 the entire authorization had been reached, the maximum amount of the issue being 540.012 750. Of these there were still outstanding on
Nov. 1 1909 a total of $17,720, Included In debt bearing no Interest.
"LOAN OF 1925."—(Column 6.) Sales of bonds included under this designation were effected (1) in February 1805 to the amount of $62,315,400.
.
and (2) in February 1806 to the amount of $100,000,000. In a message to Congress under date of February 8 1895 (published in the 'Chronicle"
February 9 1895, page 244), President Cleveland stated In substance that In pursuance of Section 3700 of the Revised Statutes the details of an arrangment have this day been concluded whereby bonds authorized under the Act of July 14 1875, payable In doin at tile pleasure of the United States after
the first day of Feb. 1925, with Interest at the rate of 4% 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 United 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 U% per annum. At least one-half of the gold to be obtained is to be
supplied from abroad. Section 3700 of the revised Statutes Is as follows:
"Sec. 3700. The Secretary of the Treasury may purchase coin with any of the bonds or notes of the United States authorized by law at such rated
and upon such terms as he may deem most advantageous to the public interest."
For a construction of tile "Refunding Act of 1870" and of the 'Resumption Act of 1875," see "Chronicle." February 18 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 and time of Interest payments. Consequently both Issues are called the "Loan of 1925.' of which there
are outstanding $118,489.900.
'
LOAN OF 1904."—(Column 5.) The Act of January 14 1875 authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to use any surplus revenues from time0
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 1879, 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 Feb 1804, payable In 10 years. $50,000,000 of 5%s and in Nov. 1894 there were Issued
$50,000,000 more for similar bonds for same purppse. The bonds matured Feb. 2 1904, and the amount outstanding Nov 1 ($43,750) Is included on
that date in "debt on which Interest has ceased.'
"PANAMA CANAL LOAN."—(Column 2.) The Act of June 28 1902, Section 8, supplemented by the Act of Dec. 21 1905 (for copy of the sections
referred to, see "Chronicle" July 7 1906, page 12), authorizes the Issue of $130,000,000 of coupon or registered 2% bonds of the United States, or as
much thereof as may be necessary, In denominations of $20 or some multiple of that sum,redeemable In gold coin at the pleasure of the United States
after ten years from the date of Issue—$84 831,980 of said bonds have been issued, all of which are now outstanding. They bear date Aug. 1 1906 and

In April 1895,we gave a table showing the debt of the United States on the first day of July 1856, and every subsequent
year. It is not necessary to repeat all those figures. We have determined on this occasion to begin our statement with
1878, as that year antedates all of the issues now outstanding, and yet carries the record sufficiently far back to show the
nature and extent of the Government securities when the refunding operations of that period began. It has the advantage,
too of giving separate and distinct each issue of bonds now outstanding. The statement is subjoined.

in the total of Government debt-we mean the Pacific Railroad subsidy debt. To show the situation of this indebtedness
we have to 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.

PORTSMOUTH. H. B. Prior, Auditor.
This city, Incorporated In 1849, is one of the county seats of Rockingham
County. The city Issued $343,000 bonds in aid of the Portsmouth & Dover
RR. and received in return stock of the par value of $344,000. Part of
this stock has been sold at various times and the proceeds applied to the
payment of the railroad bonds. When the P. & D. RR. was absorbed by
the Boston & Maine,the stock owned by the city was exchanged for stock In
the Boston & Maine. On June 12 1907 the City Council authorized the
Board of Sinking Fund Commissioners to exchange 855 shares of the common stock of the B. & M. RR. for the same number of shares of the capital
stock of the New York New Haven & Hartford RR. Co. The High School
bonds for $100,000 were authorized by Chapter 202, Laws of 190$, and It
was provided that Section 9 of the "Municipal Bond Act of 1895" should
not apply in their case. None of the bonds are taxed In Portsmouth.

There was no direct tax for State purposes levied In either 1003, 1904,
1905, 1906, 1907 or 1908. A tax of $1.30 per $1,000, however, consisting of
a State school tax of 80 cents and a State highway tax of 50 cents was collected and re-distributed to towns on a basis of the number of schools and
road mileage, the State,for the sake of equalizing Its distribution, acting
as agent in the matter. Prior to 1902 this tax was $1 per $1,000.

DEBT LIMITATIONS -There appears to be nothing In the Constitution
power of municipalities.
providing for a general limit to the debt-making
Whatever in each case the Legislature authorizes, the city, town, county
or other civil division can issue. Of course the purpose of the improvement
must be of a public character. The laws relating to municipal debt limitation which have been passed by the Legislature from time to time are contained in Sections 3556, 3557, 3558, 3574 and 3575, Chapter 157 of the
Revised Statutes of 1906. Section 3556, embodying a law passed in 1904,
prohibits a municipality, unless otherwise provided in its charter, from
borrowing, except for refunding purposes, an amount in excess of five times
Its grand list as last taken. An additional amount, not exceeding five times
the grand list, may be borrowed, providing the loan is approved by a twothirds vote. The next section (3557) covering laws passed in 1904 and
1906,provides that in figuring the debt limit,loans created for water supply,
sewer or electric lights and temporary loans may be eliminated. Tile two
sections follow:
-Limit.
-No municipal corporation shall create an
SECTION 3556.
indebtedness, unless to refund outstanding bonds or orders,to an amount
exceeding five times its grand list last taken; provided that it may, by a
two-thirds vote by ballot of the voters present and voting at a meeting
called for that purpose, Increase such indebtedness an additional amount
not exceeding five times such grand list. Bonds or obligations given or
created in excess of tile limit authorized by this section shall be void.
SECTION 3557.-Deternanation.-In determining the amount of
municipal indebtedness permitted by the preceding section, obligations
created for a water supply, sewers or electric lights, and temporary loans
created in anticipation of the collection of taxes and necessary for meeting
current expenses, shall not be taken into account; provided, that no such
temporary loan shall be extended beyond the fiscal year for which it s made,
and shall not exceed in amount 90% of the amount of taxes levied for such
year; nor shall the provisions of this and the preceding section apply when
the charter of a municipal corporation limits its indebtedness.
Section 3558 covers laws passed in 1872 and relates to railroad subscriptions by towns:
SECTION 3558. A town may aid in the construction of a railroad organized under the general law, by issuing bonds to aid such railroad, by taking capital stock therein, or in such other manner as it directs; but the liability so assumed shall not exceed eight times the grand list of the town.
Such aid shall be given as provided in this chapter.
The other sections referred to (Sections 3574 and 3575) embrace a law
passed in 1892,and allow towns or villages, not already bonded to an amount
exceeding five times the grand list, to borrow an amount not exceeding three
times the grand list for highway improvement. Tile two sections read
as follows:
SECTION 3574. A town or incorporated village may issue bonds, to an
amount not exceeding three times Its grand list, for the purpose of purchasing road-making apparatus and for building permanent highways within
the limits of such town or village.
SECTION 3575. Such town or incorporated village may vote to issue
such bonds at a meeting of the corporation, duly warned for that purpose,
by a two-thirds majority of all the votes cast, and may stipulate in such
vote by whom and in what manner tile proceeds of such bonds shall be expended; but no town or incorporated village shall issue such bonds if It is
already bonded to an amount exceeding live times its grand list.
It will be noticed that tile preceding sections refer in each instance to the
"grand list." To evolve the "grand list" in Vermont, the authorities first
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 tills is done tile "grand list" is made up by taking 1 % of that amount
according to Section 494, Chapter 30, of the Revised Statutes of 1906,
which is as follows: "All real and personal estate shall, except as otherwise
"provided, be set in the list at 1 % of its value in money on the first day
"of April of the year of its appraisal."
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 these powers are Sections 3567 to 3573,
Inclusive, Chapter 157 of the Revised Statutes of 1906. Section 3567 is
as follows:
SECTION 3567. A town which has outstanding and unpaid orders,
notes, bonds or coupons lawfully issued, may issue other negotiable notes or
bonds to pay or retire tile same.
SECTIONS 3568 to 3573, inclusive, give the method of issuink such bonds.
By Section 3572 municipal corporations other than towns have the same
refunding powers granted them which are conferred upon towns.
EXEMPTION FROM TAXATION -Subdivision XII. of Section 496 of
the Public Statutes of 1906, as amended by Act 23 of tile Laws of 1908,
provides that the following municipal securities shall be exempt from
taxation:
XII. Notes, bonds or orders issued after Feb. 1 1007 as evidences of
obligations for money loaned to a town, village, incorporated school or fire
district, at a rate of interest not exceeding 4% per annum, for the purpose
of constructing, purchasing or repairing water, sewer or lighting systems,
permanent highways, bridges, walks or public buildings, or for the purpose
of refunding a debt contracted for any of tile foregoing purposes.
SAVINGS BANKS INVESTMENTS-PRIVILEGES AND RESTRIC-The provisions of the law relating to savings banks are found in
TIONS.
Chapter 197 of the Vermont statutes of 1906, Sections 4615 to 4686, Inclusive. The first section having reference to investments, is Section 4648,
which treats of real estate mortgages. Tills section authorizes the investment of 80% of the assets in such mortgages, one-sixth at least of which
-that is, Vermont. A proviso adds
"shall be upon real estate in this State"
that only 60% of tile assets may be invested in mortgages on real estate
outside of Vermont. If tile investment is on mortgage of unimproved or
unproductive real estate, tile amount of such investment is limited to 40%.
Sections 4650 and 4651 relate only to obtaining and paying for insurance.
Section 4652 is as follows, and has reference to investment on personal
security.
SECTION 4652. 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 in.
vestment, or upon notes or accepted drafts given by individuals, firms or
corporations residing without the State for goods manufactured within the
State, and payable to Individuals, firms or corporations located within the
State; and such personal loans or Investments shall not be for a longer
time than one year; and not more than one-third of tile assets of a savings
bank, savings institution or trust company shall be invested in personal
securities.
Section 4653 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 4654) covers the most important
of the provisions relating to investments that are contained in the law. We

North Dakota, South Dakota, Oregon and Washington; but no investment
shall be made in any of the counties, towns or cities In the States above
named, except in cities of fifty thousand or more Inhabitants, where the
municipal indebtedness of such county, town or city exceeds ftve per cent
of its assessed valuation, and when not issued in aid of railroads;

issued does not exceed five per cent of the assessed valuation of the respective towns, cities and school districts:
(6.) In the public funds of any of tile States named in tills section.
(7.) 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;
(8.) 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 made in the capital stook
of any such banks, owned or loaned upon, to exceed In the aggregate onefourth of the deposits of any savings bank, savings institution or trust company.
The amount of loan which can be made to one person or corporation,
&c., is restricted by the next section, and we give it in full. It is as follows:
SECTION 4655. No savings bank, savings institution or trust company
shall loan to any one person, firm or corporation, or the individual members thereof, more than five per cent of its ,
tieposits, nor more than thirty
thousand dollars; nor shall such loans on personal security exceed ten thousand dollars, until its deposits amount to one million dollars, after which
the sums so loaned may be increased one per cent of the deposits in excess
of the one million dollars; but this section shall not apply to United States
bonds or municipal bonds, or notes with such bonds as collateral.
We also give Section 4659 in full. It confers authority upon savings
banks to make deposits on call in banks and trust companies In certain
States and cities, and is as follows:
SECTION 4659. The words "trust company" as used in this chapter shall
be construed to include savings banks and trust companies. A savings
bank, savings institution or trust company may deposit on call in banks,
banking associations or trust companies in this State, or in the cities of New
York, Boston, Chicago, Albany, Philadelphia or Concord, New Hampshire,
or in any other legal designated depository under the laws of the United
States, or in national banks in the cities of St. Paul, Minneapolis and Kansas City, with or without Interest, as may be agreed upon, sums not exceeding in the aggregate twenty per cent of the assets of such savings bank,
savings institution or trust company.
Section 4660 enacts that savings banks may hold real estate acquired
on foreclosure or otherwise taken to secure debt, but it must be sold within
five years, unless certain prescribed steps are taken, when an extension may
be granted by the Inspector of Finance for not exceeding three years additional. Section 4661 authorizes savings banks to demand and receive on
loans 6% interest.

The above debt is of two classes: the Direct Debt, for the payment of
which the Commonwealth is directly and entirely responsible; and the
Nominal or Contingent Debt, for which the Commonwealth has loaned
its credit to sundry cities and towns for various purposes, the payment of
which is guaranteed by sinking funds (sufficient to pay the debt at maturity) provided by a direct annual tax on the cities and towns for which
the debt has been incurred. On Dec. 1 1008 these classes and the sinking

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 passed on this
subject with respect to Cities and Towns. All of the general provisions
are found Incorporated in Chapter 27 of the Revised Statutes, edition of
Jan. 1 1902. The important sections of this chapter are cited below:
SECTION 1. Cities and towns shall not Incur debts, except in the manner of voting and within the limitations as to amount and time of payment

shall be excluded.
SECTION 3. A city shall not become indebted in an amount exceeding
two and one-half per cent on the average of the assessors' valuations of

valuation.
SECTION 6. Cities and towns may by a majority vote incur debts for
temporary loans in anticipation of the taxes of the municipal year in which
such debts are incurred and expressly made payable therefrom by such
vote. Such loans shall be payable within one year after the date of their
incurrence, and shall not be reckoned in determining the authorized limit
of indebtedness. [Notes may be non-interest bearing and sold at a discount. See Chapter 153 Laws of 1904.1
SECTION 7. Cities and towns may by a majority vote incur debts for
temporary loans for the payment of any land damages or any proportion of
the general expense of altering a crossing which they are required primarily
to pay under the provisions of sections one hundred and forty-nine to
one hundred and sixty, Inclusive, of chapter one hundred and eleven.
Such loans shall not be reckoned in determining the authorized limit of
indebtedness, and when any money so paid is repaid, It shall be immediately applied to the discharge of the loan.
Sections referred to in chap. 111 provide for the abolition of grade crossings.
SECTION 8. Debts other than those mentioned in the two preceding

selectmen with interest payable semi-annually at such rate as It deems
proper, and may sell said bonds, notes or scrip, not less than par, at public
or private sale, or may use the same in payment of such debts.
SECTION 10. If a city or town votes to issue bonds, notes, scrip or
other certificates of indebtedness in accordance with the provisions of this
chapter, the officers authorized to negotiate the same may, in the name
of such city or town, make a temporary loan for a period of not more than
one year in anticipation of the money to be derived from the sale of such
bonds, notes, scrip or other certificates of indebtedness; but the time
within which such securities shall become due and payable shall not be

a Added to law by Chapter 375. Acts of 1903.
[Chapter 28, referred to above, provides for public parks, playgrounds. ctc.,
and under it any city or town (except Boston) may incur indebtedness to meet

establish a sinking fund to be used for no other purpose than the payment
of such debt, and shall annually raise by taxation and contribute thereto
an amount sufficient with its accumulations to extinguish the debt at maturity; and if payable at a period not exceeding ten years, the city or town
shall raise by taxation annually not less than eight per cent of the principal

and shall, in the year before the maturity of the debt, raise by taxation
any balance necessary for its extinguishment.
SECTION 13. A city or town, instead of establishing a sinking fund.
may vote to provide for the payment of any debt by such annual proportionate payments as will extinguish the same at maturity, and thereupon such annual proportion shall, without further vote, be assessed under
the provisions of Section 37 of Chapter 12 until such debt is extinguished.
Sections 14 to 19. Inclusive, and sections 22, 24 and 25, relate to the election and duties of the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund and various other
matters we cannot enter upon here.
SECTION 21. A city which at a meeting of its voters held for that purpose has accepted, by a vote of two-thirds of the legal voters present and
voting thereon, any Act to supply said city with water may, by a yea and
nay vote of the majority of the members of each branch of the City Council,
contract debts and issue bonds for the purposes and to the extent authorized by such Act, in the manner provided in, and subject to the provisions
of, the preceding sections.
SECTION 23. No city or town shall, for the purpose of subscribing in
aid of a railroad corporation, increase its Indebtedness to an amount which.
with its existing net indebtedness' incurred for any purpose, excluding
temporary loans, exceeds 3% of the valuation of the taxable property
therein as ascertained by the last preceding city or town valuation for the
assessment of taxes.
In addition to these General Provisions there are various Special Laws
which contain exceptions to the general law as to debt limitation, which apply to Cambridge, Lynn, Newburyport, Waltham, Worcester, &c.. &c. A
further exception in favor of Metropolitan Park assessment loans issued in
1900 and 1901 was made by Chapter 325, Laws of 1902.
["Net indebtedness" as used above shall mean the indebtedness of
a county, city, town or district, omitting debts created for supplying the
Inhabitants with water and other debts exempted from the operation of
tile law limiting their Indebtedness, and deducting the amount of the sinking funds available for the payment of the indebtedness included. Rev

(Chapter 590, Acts of 1908) passed by the Legislature in 1908
One of
the most important amendments to the old law was the addition of telephone
bonds to the list of permissible investments. The other changes, too
numerous to mention here, were summarized in V. 87, p. 257. Some
comments on the same will also be found in an editorial article on pages
5 and 6 of the State and City Supplement for May 29 1909. In 1909 the
Legislature passed an Act (Chapter 491) making a number of technical

-Taxes in Boston are limited by
DEBT AND TAX LIMITATIONS.
Chapter 399 of the Acts of 1900 and amendments as follows:
assessed on property, exclusive of the State tax,
SECTION 1. The taxes
county tax and sums required by law to be raised on account of the city
debt shall not exceed In any year in the city of Boston $10 55, and in any
other city *12, on every $1,000 of the average of the assessors' valuations
of the taxable property therein for the preceding three years, the valuation
for each year being first reduced by the amount of all abatements allowed
thereon previous to the thirty-first day of December in the year preceding
said assessment, and any order of appropriation requiring a larger assessment than Is herein limited shall be void.
SECTION 2. Chapter 178 of the Acts of the year 1885 and Chapter 281
of the Acts of the year 1887 are hereby repealed.
The new law, In repealing Chapter 178 of the Laws of 1885, repealed a
special Act limiting the indebtedness of the City of Boston to 2% of the
assessed valuation, &c., &c. Boston consequently is now subject to Section 2, Chapter 312, Laws of 1885 (Sec. 3. Chapter 27, of the 1902 edition
Revised Statutes), which places the debt limitation at 234% of the average
assessors' valuations of the taxable property for the preceding three years.
Reference to this section of the Revised Statutes will be found In our remarks under the State of Massachusetts.
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 1891, the city 18
authorized to anticipate its authority to borrow money within its debt limit
for any current municipal year.

STATE AND MUNICIPAL INDEBTEDNESS LIMITATIONS.
-Under
Section 13, Article IV. of the State Constitution, the General Assembly
has no power to incur State debt to an amount exceeding $50,000 without
the consent of ths people, except in time of war or of insurrection or invasion. In no case is the Assembly to pledge the faith of the State for the
payment of obligations of others without the approval of the people. In
reference to city debts, there is nothing in the Constitution of Rhode
Island limiting the amount of such obligations. The 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% of the taxable property has been the limit
of the power of each town (which includes city) to create debt.
SECTION 20.
-"The outstanding notes, bonds and contracts
towns
shall be paid and be fulfilled according to the tenor thereof, and of public
all
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 thereof."
SECTION 21. "No town shall, without special statutory authority
therefor
Incur any debt in excess of three per centum of the taxable property
such town, including the indebtedness of such town on the tenth day of
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."
SAVINGS BANK INVESTMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS.
-At the1908
session of the Legislature, the laws concerning Rhode Island savings
bank
investments were completely revised and materially altered in
a
respects. That portion of the new law concerning investments great many
is contained
In Chapter 1590, Laws of 1908. Sections 57, 58,
59, 60, 61
sections are given in full on pages 7 and 8 of the "State and 84. These
and City Supplement" for May 1908.

r• In an opinion rendered by the Attorney-General on Jan. 13 1908.
stating that bonds of the Missouri Pacific Railway Co. are not legal investments for savings banks, owing to the fact that the dividend for the six
months ending Dec. 31 1907 was paid with a new issue of stock, he holds
that the words "an amount" must necessarily mean the payment thereof in
cash.

7. In real property subject to the provisions of Section 147.
We omit Section 147, as It relates only to real estate. The following sections of the banking law relate -No. 148 to available funds for current expenses, how loaned, No. 149 to temporary deposits and 150 to personal security and loans on bond and mortgage.
SECTION 148. The trustees of every such corporation shall as soon as
practicable invest the moneys deposited with them in tile securities authorized by this article; but for the purpose of meeting current payments and
expenses in excess of the receipts, there may be kept an available fund not
exceeding 10% of the whole amount of deposits with such corporation, on
hand or deposit in any bank In this State organized under any law of this
State or of the United States, or with any trust company incorporated by
any law of the State; but the sum so deposited In any one bank or trust

1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of Section 146, or upon the first mortgage bonds, or any of
them, of the railroads mentioned and described in subdivision 6 of this section, but not in excess of 90% of the cash market value of such securities
so pledged. Should any of the securities so held in pledge depreciate in
value, after making any loan thereon, the trustees shall require the imme,
diate payment of such loan, or of a part thereof, or additional security
therefor, so that the amount loaned shall at no time exceed 90% of the market value of the securities pledged for the same.
SECTION 140. Every such corporation may also deposit temporarily
In the banks or trust companies specified in section 148 the excess
of current daily receipts over tile payments, until such time as the same
can be judiciously invested In the securities required by tills article. Whenever it shall appear to tile Superintendent of Banks that the trustees of
any such corporation are violating the spirit and intent of this provision
by keeping permanently uninvested all or an undue proportion of the moneys
received by them, he shall report the facts to the Attorney-General, who
shall proceed against such corporation in the manner provided in section 127
of chapter 689, Laws of 1892.
SECTION 150. The trustees of any savings bank shall not loan the
moneys deposited with them or any part thereof, upon notes, bills of exchange, drafts or any other personal securities whatever. In all cases of
loans upon real property, a sufficient bond secured by a mortgage thereon
shall be required of the borrower, and all expenses of searches, examinations and certificates of title, and of drawing, perfecting and recording papers, shall be paid by the borrower.
TRUST FUNDS.
-How Loaned or Invested.
-Section 21, Chapter 41,
Consolidated Laws of 1909, permits executors, administrators, guardians,
&c., to invest in the same securities as savings banks. We quote the provision below:
INVESTMENT OF TRUST FUNDS.
-A trustee or other person holding
trust funds for investment may invest the same in the same kind of securities as those in which savings banks of this State are by law authorized to
Invest the money deposited therein, and the income derived therefrom, and
In bonds and mortgages on unincumbered real property in this State worth

or dock investment,as well as bonds hereafter Issued for a public Improvement which provides a revenue in excess of the interest and amortization
charges. The rapid transit and dock bonds may be excluded only in proportion to the extent to which the current net revenues received from these
improvements shall meet the Interest and amortization charges. See
the amendment in full under general remarks for New York State.
-A new kind of bond (known as the 'GenGENERAL FUND BONDS.

the purpose of releasing the surplus revenues of the sinking fund of the old

taxation. Under the law the bonds will be Issued only In the way indicated,
and they will be taken for account of sinking fund for redemption of the
city debt No. 1. See V. 76, p. 610. Up to Nov. 1 1009 $80,750,000 of
these bonds had been Issued.

OLD CITY OF BROOKLYN.

The old city of Brooklyn covered the entire area of the county of Kings,
the county government being consolidated with that of the city on Jan. 1
1896 under the provisions of Chapter 954 of the Laws of 1895. Under the
provisions of this Act, "the debt of the said county shall not be deemed to
be or be included as a part of the debt of the City of Brooklyn, within the
meaning of the provision of the Constitution of the State of New York
limiting the power of cities to incur indebtedness." (See "Chronicle,"
Vol. 62, p. 49.) The towns of Flatbush, New Utrecht and Gravesend
were annexed to the City of Brooklyn in 1894 and the town of Flatlands
became a ward of the city on the first day of January 1896.

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 name this association
bore was the "Philadelphia Savings Fund Society." and It stil exists
bearing the same name. Originally the bank was not Incorporated, hut
was a voluntary organization, such societies in Great Britain being at the
time of a like character. Tile date of the organization was November
27 1816, and the bank was opened for business Dec. 2 1816. The oldest
ledger of the company goes back to the time of opening, and shows a de
posit on that day (December 2 1816) of five dollars. The company was not
incorporated until February 25 1819. The second savings institution in
the State, however, did not come into existence until 1847. In 1889 a
general law facilitating the incorporation of savings banks was passed by
the LeLtklature. Still, the report of the Banking Department of December
1908 shows that the total number of savings banks within the State was
only thirteen, and of these, two or three, we are advised, were in process
of liquidation. The aggregate deposits of these banks at that date was
$158,542,702. There were 447,799 deposit accounts and the average
deposit to each depositor was $354.04.
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, authorizin r 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




69

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 upon 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, or any other
good and valid securities."
Authority to loan on any "good and valid security" appears to confer
shout as broad a discretion upon the managers as could be expressed in a
statnte.
In 1897 an Act was passed allowing savings institutions and savings
banks chartered under Special Acts to invest in Pennsylvania county and
municipal bonds, notwithstanding any provisions of their charters. The
law follows:
CHAPTER 77. LAWS OF 18J7.
-From and after-the passage of this Act
all provident institutions, savings institutions and savings banks, chartered
under Special Acts of this Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, may notwithstanding any provisions of their charter, loan the moneys received by them
on deposit upon the bonds of any county, city, borough, township or
school district within this Commonwealth issued pursuant to the authority of any law of this Commonwealth for the payment of which the faith
and credit of the municipality Issuing them are pledged.
It was not until 1889 as already stated, tnat a general law facilitating
the organization of savings institutions was passed. 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 of 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 any
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 city 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 sub-division, bonds and 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 judiciously invested in the securities named ,above

issues or limiting the debt-making power, except that the new Constitution
(1) Forbids the State (Article 8, Sec. 3) to borrow money or create 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. I) to be created. &c., by
Special Act. "but only by or under general law"; "but the foregoing provisions shall not apply to municipal corporations, banks." &c.
The above Indicates that the authority as regards municipalities [except
as already specified in number (2)1 rests with the General Assembly, and the
General Assembly always passes Special Acts to provide for special occasions and needs.

-There are In this State general
SAVINGS BANKS INVESTMENTS.
banking laws under which savings banks may be organized, but a number
of the savings Institutions have been Incorporated under special charter.
However, In both the general and special laws there appears to be a pretty
general authority granted for investing the deposits. The general law
states that
Any savings institution incorporated under this article shall be capable
of receiving from any person or persons, or bodies corporate or politic, any
deposit of money which shall be invested or loaned out on good security in the
discretion of the directors; provided that no part of the funds of said corporation shall be loaned to any officer or director of such corporation.
In a special charter granted to the Germania Savings Bank of Baltimore In
1890, 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 secur"fly 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 Germania Savings 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.

'which under the Constitution of 1802 many public improvements had
'been accomplished."
In compliance with Section 6, Article 13 (cited above), which provides
or the organization of cities, &c., by general law, the Legislature made
an elaborate classification of municipal corporations, which was in existence
for years. First they were divided into citles, villages and hamlets
Then cities were divided into two classes, the first class being subdivided
Into three grades and the second class being subdivided into four grades.
the grade being determined by population according to the last Federal
Census. In addition many special laws found their way on to the statute
books, nominally general in their scope but really so worded as to apply to
only one city. In June 1902, however, the State Supreme Court handed
-down several decisions declaring such laws special legislation and therefore
unconstitutional. The decisions were considered to be of such broad ap •
plication that the Governor called an extra session of the Legislature
for the purpose of framing a new general municipal code. The extra
session convened Aug. 25 1902 and after a session of nearly two months
-a document too lengthy to quote in these
passed a new "municipal code"
-columns. We would refer our readers, therefore, to pages 994 and 995 of
the "Chronicle," Nov. 1 1902, wherein will be found at length the more
salient points of this important measure.
It remains to be said that at the regular session of the Legislature in
1902 an Aet popularly known as the "Longworth Omnibus bill" was passed
and subsequently upheld by the State Supreme Court. This Act (which
was amended at the 1906 session) amends Sections 2835, 2836 and 2837,
Revised Statutes of Ohio, relating to the issuance of bonds by cities, villages and other municipal corporations. Under the new law the municipal
boards of legislation, councils, &c., may by two-thirds vote issue bonds for
certain specified purposes to the extent of 1%of the assessed valuation yearly
(but not exceeding 4% in the aggregate) without submitting the question
to a vote of the people. Bonds issued under this Act in excess of 1% in
any one year, or in excess of 4% in the aggregate, must first be submitted to
a vote of the people and carried by two-thirds of those voting on the proposition; but a net debt (bonds less sinking fund) of more than 8% In the
Tile Act as amended In
aggregate can not be authorized in any event
1906 will be found in the "Chronicle" May 26 1906, page 1224.
-Some doubts having arisen as to whether old bonds as well as
Note.
"Longworth" bonds should be counted in figuring the 8% debt limit, a
suit was brought and the State Supreme Court in May 1906 held that only
such bonds as may have been issued subsequent to the enactment of the
"Longworth" bill should be counted in considering the 8% limit provided
for in that Act. V. 82, p.1114. Furthermore, in the amended law of 1906,
it is expressly provided that the 8% limit shall apply only to the bonds
sued subsequent to the enactment of this Act.

In addition to the foregoing, general statutes have been passed by the
Legislature granting general powers to cities and towns to issue bonds for
legitimate corporate purposes, subject, however, to the Constitutional
limit of 2% on valuation. But we have not the space to set out here the
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.
-In Nov. 1909
GRAVEL ROAD LAW OF 1903 UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
the Indiana Supreme Court declared unconstitutional the amended highway
Act of 1905 authorizing free gravel roads to be paid for by taxation on
all the property in the township instead of assessments on the lands benefited. The decision was on the ground that the Act contains a provision
making the law a local and special Act. See State and City Department
of the "Chronicle" for Nov. 27 1909.
EXEMPTION FROM TAXAT1ON.-The Legislature of 1903 passed a
law (Chap. 179, Laws of 1903) exempting from taxation all bonds, notes.
&c., hereafter issued by State or municipal corporations. The section
follows:
SECTION 1, Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of
Indiana, That all bonds, notes and other evidences of indebtedness hereafter issued by the State of Indiana or by municipal corporations within
the State upon which the said State or the said municipal corporations pay
interest shall be exempt from taxation.
The above Act became effective April 23 1903.

to be contracted on behalf of the State except in the following cases: To
meet casual deficits in the revenue; to pay interest on State debt; to repel
Invasion, suppress insurrection, or, if hostilities be threatened, provide
for the public defense.
In the sixth section of the same article the last clause prohibits the
assumption by the State of the debts of any municipality or corporation.
The clause referred to reads as follows:
"Nor shall the General Assembly ever on behalf of the State assume
the debts of any county, city, town or township, nor of any corporation
whatever."
SECOND, as to municipalities, the provision contained in the Constitution seems to be equally clear and emphatic, and, as will be found, fixeR
the limit at 2% of the valuation. It is Article 13 of that instrument (an
amendment to the 1851 Constitution adopted March 14 1881) which relates
to this subject, and we give the article in full below.
-No political or municipal corporation
LIMITED-EXCESS VOID.
in this State shall ever become indebteded in any manner or for any purpose to an amount in the aggregate exceeding 2% on the valuation of the
taxable property within such corporation, to be ascertained by the last
assessment for State and county taxes previous to the incurring of such Indebtedness; and all bonds or obligations in excess of such amount given by
such corporation shall be void; Provided, That in time of war, foreign Invasion or other great public calamity, on petition of a majority of the property owners in number and value, within the limits of such corporation.
the public authorities in their discretion may incur obligations necessary
for the public protection and defense to such an amount as may be requested in such petition.
It should be said in connection with the above that several laws have
been enacted since the foregoing constitutional limit was adopted (March
14 1881). and bonds have been issued by counties thereunder beyond the 2%
limit, for the construction of "free gravel, stone or other macadamized
roads." Several such laws were passed at the 1899 session of the Legislature. But in the case of Strieb vs. Cox, Treas., 111 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 editorial In "State and City Supplement" for October
1899, page 3.)
THEW), counties (but no other kind of municipality) are prohibited
from subscribing for any stock in a corporation unless paid for at time of
such subscription. The section which covers this subject is Section 6 Of
Article 10,and is as follows:
-No county shall subscribe for
COUNTIES CANNOT TAKE STOCK.
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 authorze cities to subscribe to the stock of railroads, as it did by a general law
passed in 1869, 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 no,
tice one law. too (Section 5377, Burns's Annotated Statutes, revision 1901)
which authorizes counties bordering on the State line, or any township or
city situated In such county, to subscribe for railroad stock. In that law
no attempt is made to endow counties with power to issue bonds for this
purpose (thus obeying the mandate of the Constitution), though by the
succeeding section (Section 5378) cities are given authority to issue such
bonds.
COUNTIES are apparently restricted by statute to a lower than the
Constitutional limit of 2% in the matter of creating certain kinds of debt.
For instance, Section 7834 of Burns's Annotated Statutes, 1901, authorizes
any county to issue bonds when necessary to construct, complete or repair
court house, jail or other county buildings, or to fund existing debt; in
those cases county commissioners may borrow for that purpose not exceeding 1% on assessed valuation and Issue bonds therefor, provided that no
second or subsequent loan shall be made or authorized so long as any
former loan made under the provisions of the Act shall remain unpaid.
From Section 7920 It appears, moreover, that whenever the aggregate indebtedness, funded or otherwise, of any county having a voting population
of over 20,000 amounts to or exceeds 1%, It is not lawful to increase such
Indebtedness in any manner or form except only by temporary loans In
anticipation of the revenue of the then current fiscal year and not exceeding two-thirds of the amount of the county tax duplicate of the preceding
year.
Limit of 1% may be exceeded in counties for funding purposes in certain
cases where the aggregate indebtedness in 1879 exceeded 1% (see Burns's
Revised Statutes, 1901,Section 7918); also for temporary loans (see Burns's
Revised Statutes, 1901. Section 7920).
Also (if the laws that have been passed are constitutional), the limit
of 2% may be exceeded for the purpose of making gravel roads (see above),
the Supreme Court having decided that gravel road bonds are not properly
an indebtedness of the county. By statute the limit for such bonds (Section 8910) is 4%.

ILLINOIS-CITIES AND TOWNS.

Under a law passed Feb. 25 1898 there will be a general assessment of
'real estate but once in every four years instead of annually; personal property will be listed every year. The law also provides that property shall be
appraised at full value, but assessed at only one-fifth of such value. This
law was changed, however, by an Act passed in 1909 which provides for
the assessment of property at one-third of the actual value. The new
basis of assessment went into effect in 1909, hence the general increase in
values for that year for the different civil divisions of the State.

DEBT LIMITATION.—No State has developed a greater repugnance to
the creating of debt than Illinois, if we may judge from the provisions of its
present Constitution. We say developed, because this antagonism has
apparently been progressive. Nothing of It is to be found in the Constitution 01 1818. The Constitution of 1848 contains no reference to municipalities, but has in it stringent restrictions limiting to $50,000 the power of
She Legislature to create State debt, except in case of war, invasion, &c.,
unless the law proposing the issue of bonds is submitted to a vote of the
people. But turning to the Constitution of 1870 we find the whole subject
of debt-making most thoroughly considered and its basis settled.
FIRST, as to the State, the provisions are not very unlike the provisions
of the Constitution of 1848, except that as to the limit for casual deficits
and failures of revenue, the aggregate which can be created is very properly
raised to $250,000. But with that exception and with the further exception
for the purpose of repelling invasion, &c., no debt can be contracted unless
the law is submitted to a vote of the people at a general election, which law
must contain a provision for the payment of interest as it accrues, and previous notice of the election be given by publication for three months prior
to such election. These last two restrictions as to interest and notice on
election are only found In the 1870 Constitution. The sections which cover
these matters are as follows; we omit the first portion of Section 18 of Article
IV. which relates only to appropriations and payment of appropriations
out of funds belonging to the State:
Provided, the State may,to meet casual
SECTION 18.
deficits or failures in revenues, contract debts never to exceed in the aggregate $250,000, and moneys thus borrowed shall be applied to the purpose
for which they were obtained, or to pay the debt thus created, and to no
other purpose; and no other debt except for the purpose of repelling invasion, suppressing insurrection or defending the State in war (for payment
of which the faith of the State shall be pledged), shall be contracted, unless
the law authorizing the same shall at a general election have been submitted
to the people, and have received a majority of the votes cast for members
of the General Assembly at such election. The General Assembly shall provide for the publication of said law for three months at least before the vote
of the people shall be taken upon the same; and provision shall be made at
the time for the payment of the interest annually as it shall accrue, by a tax
levied for the purpose or from other sources of revenue; which law providing
for the payment of such interest by such tax shall be irrepealable until such
debt be paid; And provided further, that the law levying the tax shall be submitted to the people with the law authorizing the debt to be contracted.
SECTION 20. The State shall never pay, assume or become responsible
for the debts or liabilities of, or In any manner give, loan or extend its credit
to or in aid of, any public or other corporation, association or individual.
CANAL BONDS.—At the general election in November 1908 the people
by a vote of 692,522 "for" to 195,177 "against" adopted an amendment to
the State Constitution which provides for the Issuance of not exceeding $20,000,000 bonds, to construct a deep waterway or canal, and to erect, equip
and maintain power plants, locks, bridges, dams and appliances suitable
for the development and utilization of the water power. See V.85, p. 1289,
and V. 87, p. 1372.
SECOND, municipal indebtedness is regulated only in the Constitution of
1870. In that Instrument the subject is dealt with in all its phases. First
Is a provision in Article 8, Section 3, forbidding the General Assembly and
every municipality from making any appropriation In aid of any sectarian
purpose. Second is a "separate section" forbidding any such municipality
from becoming a subscriber to the stock of any railroad, &c., or to loan its
credit. Third is the broad and general provision, Section 12, Article 0,
which limits the indebtedness of all municipalities to 5% "on the value of
the taxable property therein," &c. We give these sections below:
ARTICLE 8, Section 3. Neither the General Assembly nor any county
city, town, township, school district or other public corporation shall ever
make any appropriation, or pay from any public fund whatever, anything
in aid of any church or sectarian purpose, or to help support or sustain any
school, academy, seminary, college, university or other literary or scientific
institution controlled by any church or sectarian denomination whatever;
nor shall any grant or donation of land, money or other personal property
ever be made by the State or any such public corporation to any church
or for any sectarian purpose.
ARTICLE 0, Section 12. No county, city, township, school districc or
other municipal corporation shall be allowed to become indebted in any
manner or for any purpose to an amount, including existing indebtedness
la the aggregate exceeding 5% on the value of the taxable property therein,
to be ascertained by the last assessment for State and county taxes, previous
to the incurring of such indebtedness. Any county, city, school district
or other municipal corporation incurring any indebtedness as aforesaid
shall, before or at the time of doing so, provide for the collection of a direct
annual tax sufficient to pay the interest on such debt as it falls due, and also
to pay and discharge the principal thereof within twenty years from the
time of contracting the same. This section shall not be construed to prevent any county, city, township, school district or other municipal corporation from issuing their bonds in compliance with any vote of the people
which may have been had prior to the adoption of this Constitution in pursuance of any law providing therefor.
SEPARATE Sections. [Municipal subscriptions to railroads, &c.1 No
county, city, town, township or other municipality shall ever become subscriber to the capital stock of any railroad or private corporation, or make
donation to or loan its credit in aid of such corporation; provided however.
that the adoption of this Article shall not be construed as affecting the right
of any such municipality to make such subscriptions where the same have
been authorized, under existing laws, by a vote of the people of such
municipalities prior to such adoption.
The foregoing limitation to 5% is general, as will be seen—that is, it ap.
plies to all municipalities. With this limitation preserved the Legislature
has passed general laws authorizing the City Council in cities and the board
of trustees in villages to issue bonds for corporate purposes,for refunding
and consolidating debt, for water works, &c.; and the county board of any
county has been authorized by general statute to Issue, when it deems it
necessary, county bonds, after submitting the matter to the legal voters
of the county at a general election at which a majority vote is required as
a prerequisite of the issue. An attempt was made to limit "any county,
city, township, school district or municipal corporation" in counties containing 125,000 or more inhabitants to 23i% of the assessed value, but
Jan 12 1900 the State Supreme Court ruled that this was an arbitrary and
unnatural classification of municipalities which could not be sustained.
See Vol. 70, p. 242.
The matter of the amount of bonds that might be issued on the basis of
the debt limitations given has been complicated in late years by changes in
the method of assessing property. A letter of the State Auditor in V. 74
p. 741, throws some light on these changes.




I VOL. Lxxxnc.

BUSSE BOND BILLS.—The Legislature of 1900 passed a series of bills,
known as the Busse Bond Bills, which enlarge the leeway for the creation
of debt by the various municipalities in the State by fixing the assessed
value of property at one-third of the actual value instead of one-fifth, as
before. With the exception of counties a proportional decrease is made in
the maximum rate of taxation.
JONES REFERENDUM BILL.—At the 1909 session the Legislatire
also passed the Jones Referendum Bill, which provides that all bond issues,
excepting those for refunding puropses, must be submitted to a vote and
ratified by a majority of those voting on the proposition.
WATER CERTIFICATES IN EXCESS OF DEBT LIMIT.—A law was
passed In 1899 allowing cities bonded to their legal limit to issue (for the
improvement of water-works) certificates against the earnings of the Water
Department without regard to the bonded indebtedness. Several munter
panties are understood to have taken advantage of this law. In the case
of the City of Joliet, however, which attempted to issue bonds under the
law, the matter was taken into the courts in a test suit, and an injunction
granted by Judge Dibell, who held that the 5% limit could not be exceeded.
V. 73, p. 04. This decision was confirmed by Supreme Court. V.74, p.
401.
IMPROVEMENT BONDS.—There Is a kind of improvement bond
authorized in some cases which is made a special lien on the land benefited
and to which the 5% limit has no reference. We refer to cases which come
under the law entitled "To divide cities and villages subject to overflow
Into improvement districts." This statute provides that any such city or
village or part thereof may be laid off into an improvement district for the
purpose of draining, raising the grade of the streets and improving the district; that after the cost for the work has been ascertained and been assessed
the assessment may be paid in instalments or otherwise, and such city or
village may Issue bonds sufficient to pay the assessment. In that case the
bonds are a lien on the lots, blocks or parts thereof which shall be designated therein; but before the issue the owner of the lots, &c., to be charged
must endorse upon the back of such bond his consent, under seal, in substance, as follows: "I hereby indorse the within bond and consent that the
lot or lots or parts thereof therein designated shall become liable for the
interest and principal therein named, and the same shall be a lien upon said
property from this date until paid off and discharged." The bond when
executed by the city or village and so endorsed by the owner shall be recorded in the Recorder's office in the county, and such record shall be a
notice of the lien created to the same extent as the record of mortgagee
Is a notice.
We have room to give only this very brief and imperfect outline of this
statute. The whole law will be found in the Hurd's Revised Statutes of
Illinois. the 1001 edition, pages 337 and 338.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.—A new section to Article 4 (Section 34) of the State Constitution proposed by the 1903 Legislature, was
ratified by the voters of the State at the general election Nov. 8 1904. This
amendment permits the Legislature to form a new charter for the local
government of the city of Chicago; authorizes the consolidation in the municipal government of the powers now vested in the city, Board of Education, township, park and other local governments (V. 76, p. 989). In
event of such consolidation the indebtedness of the city, including the
existing debt, the debt of all municipal corporations lying wholly in the
city, and also the city's proportion of the debt of the county and sanitary
district, may be limited to 5% of the full value of the taxable property.
Legislation enacted under this amendment must be submitted to the voters
of the city of Chicago for approval. The question of a new city charter
was defeated by the voters on Sept. 17 1907. See V. 85, p. 745.

LEGISLATURE meets biennially in odd years the first Wednesday in

HISTORY OF DEBT.
-The historical details of Michigan's State debt
up to 1894 will be found in the "State and City Supplement" of April 1894,
page 98. In 1864 the State Treasurer reported the funded debt at $3,880 399 and $1,450,472 additional "trust fund debt." The State has no
bonded debt at present. The "trust fund debt" on June 30 1909 amounted
to $6,846,199.09. The term "trust fund debt" Is, however, a misnomer.
In explanation it should be said that the United States Government set
aside certain lands in the State of Michigan for educational purposes, and
under the Michigan statutes the money received from the sale of these
lands is used to pay the general expenses of the State; the law provides,
however, that a certain specified rate of interest must be annually figured
on the total amount accumulated from said sales and be paid over to the
educational institutions specified. The amount of interest to be so paid
Is raised by taxation.
EQUALIZED V A LUATION.-Since 1856 the equalized valuation has
been determined only once in five years. The following shows the equalized
valuation and tax rate for State purposes for every tenth year since 1846
and every fifth year since 1896. The State tax rate for 1907 was 2.81 mills
for 1908 2.41 mills and for 1909 3.42 mills on each dollar of valuation as
equalized by the State Board of Equalization.

be authorized by law,for some purpose or purposes to be distinctly specified
therein; and the vote of a majority of all the members elected to each House,
to be taken by yeas and nays, shall be necessary to the passage of such law;
and every such law shall provide for levying an annual tax sufficient to pay
the annual interest of such debt, and the principal within live years from the
passage of such law, and shall specially appropriate the proceeds of such
taxes to the payment of such principal and interest, and such appropriation
shall not be repealed, nor the taxes be postponed, or diminished, until the
principal and Interest of such debt shall have been wholly paid.
SECTION 7. State may borrow money, when. The Legislature may also
borrow money to repel invasion, suppress insurrection or defend the State
in time of war; but the money thus raised shall be applied exclusively to
the object for which the loan was authorized, or to the repayment of the
debt thereby created.
SECTION 9. Evidences of debt. No scrip, certificate or other evidence
of State debt whatsoever shall be issued, except for such debts as are authorized by the sixth and seventh sections of this article.
SECTION 10. Internal improvements--avails of grants. The State shall
never contract any debt for works of internal improvement, or be a party In
carrying on such works; but whenever grants of land or other property shall
have been made to the State, especially dedicated by the grant to particular
works of internal improvement, the State may carry on such particular
works, and shall devote thereto the avails of such grants, and may pledge or
appropriate the revenues derived from such works In aid of their completion.
(2) CITIES, counties, towns. villages, etc., were unrestricted except by
legislative enactment until 1874. Since that amendment was adopted 5%
on the value of the taxable property has been the extreme amount of debt
permissible for any municipality. Not only is that the case, but, as will be
seen,the municipality is required before, or at the time when it incurs any
indebtedness, to make provision for an annual tax sufficient to pay the interest and also sufficient to pay the principal within twenty years from the
time of contracting the debt. We give below the amendment referred to In
full.
Limitation of Municipal Indebtedness.—Adding to Section 3, Article 11,
the words:
"No county.city,town,village, school district or other municipal corporation shall be allowed to become indebted In any manner or for any purpose,
to any amount, including existing indebtedness in the aggregate exceeding
5% on the value of the taxable property therein, to be ascertained by the
last assessment for State and county taxes previous to the incurring of such
Indebtedness. Any county, city, town, village, school district or other
municipal corporation incurring any Indebtedness as aforesaid, shall before
or at the time of doing so provide for the collection of a direct annual tax
sufficient to pay the interest on such debt as it falls due, and also to pay and
discharge the principal thereof within twenty years from the time of contracting the same."
The Legislature from time to time has passed laws providing for the
issuance of bonds tor various specified purposes, but these laws are too
numerous to be given here. Such authority is of course subject to the foregoing provisions of the Constitution.

all been paid or else converted into certificates of indebtedness, which are
held by the various trust funds. The amounts due the several funds

'The large increase In values for 1901 and since that date is due to the
formation of a new State Board of Assessment by Chapter 237, Laws of 1901,
which has construed the meaning of the existing law to be a command to
assess at full value whereas former boards did not so construe the Act.
DEBT LIMITATION.—The constitutional provisions of Wisconsin restricting debt-making are very rigorous, plain and comprehensive. Since
the amendment adopted in 1874, debts of cities, &c., as well as the State,
are definitely limited by that Instrument. We give the provisions first which
relate to the State and after that those which have reference to cities, &o.
(1) STATE Indebtedness is confined within very close bounds. It seems
as If the framers of the Constitution must have taxed to the extreme their
Ingenuity for forms in which to express their determination to inhibit debtmaking. The sections which cover the subject are Sections 3, 4, 6, 7, 9
and 10 of Article 8. We give them In full below.
SECTION 3. Credit of State, for what not given. The credit of the State
shall never be given or loaned in aid of any individual, association or corporation.
SECTION 4. Contracting debts. The State shall never contract any
public debt, except in the cases and manner herein provided.
SECTION 6. Limitation on public debt. For the purpose of defraying
extraordinary expenditures, the State may contract public debts (but such
debts shall never in the aggregate exceed $100,000). Every such debt shall

*The total taxes levied In the above table include the amounts raised
not only for State purposes. but also all taxes raised by the various minor

purposes, the total tax rate was $3.33. In 1907 the total tax rate was
$3.48; In 1906 It was $2.78.
-Minnesota has protected the State from extravaDEBT LIMIT AT ION.
gant expenditures through restrictions which its Constitution puts onevery kind of debt-making. That instrument fixes the limit at $250,000
"for the purpose of defraying extraordinary expenditures": and an amendment, ratified In 1879, extended this power to $250,000 additional "for
erecting and completing buildings for the insane, a deaf, dumb and blind
asylum, and State prison." Besides the foregoing, It 1, also provided that
1
the State credit shall not be loaned, &e. With regard to the debt of
municipalities there is but one section in tile Constitution which relates to
that subject, and that has reference to making railroad debt.
FIRST, as to State indebtedness, the sections which treat of the subject
are In article 9, sections 5, 6, 7, 8 and 14.
SECTION 5. (Public Debt May Be Contracted.) For the purpose of
defraying extraordinary expenditures, the State may contract public debts,
but such debts shall never. In the aggregate, exceed two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars; every such debt shall be authorized by law for sonic single
object, to be distinctly specified therein; and no such law shall take effect
until it shall have been passed by the vote of two-thirds of the members of
each branch of the Legislature, to be recorded by the yeas and nays on the
journals of each House, respectively: and every such law shall levy a tax
annually sufficient to pay the annual interest on such debt, and aisI
sufficient to pay the principal of such debt within ten years fr m thea tax
11 al
passage of such law, and shall specially appropriate the proceeds . I such
taxes to the payment of such principal and interest: and such ppropriation
and taxes shall not be repealed, postponed ,or diminished, until the principal
and interest of such debt shall have been wholly paid. The State shall
never contract any debts for works of Internal ImproveMe .ts, or be a party
in carrying on such works, except In cases where grants of land or other
property shall have been made to the State, especially dedicated by the
grant to specific purposes, and in such cases the State shall devote thereto
the avails of such grants, and may pledge or appropriate the revenues derived from such works In aid of their completion.
-(Bonds for Public Debt.)-All debts authorized by
SECTION 6.
the preceding section shall be contracted by loan on State bonds of amounts
not less than five hundred dollars each on interest, payable within ten
years after the final passage of the law authorizing such debt: and such
bonds shall not be sold by the State under par. A correct registry of all
such bonds shall be kept by tile Treasurer, In numerical order,so as always
to exhibit the number and amount unpaid,and to whom severally made
payable.




115

SECTION7.-The State shall never contract any public debt, unless in
time of war, to repel invasion or suppress insurrection, except in the cases
and in the manner provided in the fifth and sixth sections of this article.
SECTION 8.
-(Application of Loans.)
-The money arising from any
loan made, or debt or liability contracted, shall be applied to the object
specified in the Act authorizing such debt or liability, or to the repayment of
such debt or liability, and to no other purpose whatever.
SECTION 14.
-(Public Debt for State Buildings.)
-For the purpose of
erecting and completing buildings for a hospital for the insane, a deaf,
dumb and blind asylum, and State prison. the Legislature may,by law,
Increase the public debt of the State, to an amount not exceeding two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars, in addition to the public debt already
heretofore authorized by the Constitution, and for that purpose may provide
by law for issuing and negotiating the bonds of the State,and appropriate
the money only for the purpose aforesaid, which bonds shall be payable
In not less than ten nor more than thirty years from the date of the same,
at the option of the State.
SECOND, as to city, county or other municipality, the only restriction on
the debt making power in the Constitution is the following, found In
article 9, section 15:
SECTION 15.-(Municipal Debts in Aid of Railroads.) The Legislature
shall not authorize any county, township, city or other municipal corporation to issue bonds, or to become indebted in any manner,to aid in the construction or equipment of any or all railroads to an amount that shall
exceed five per centum of the value of the taxable property within such
county, township, city, or other municipal corporation: the amount of
such taxable property to be ascertained and determined by the last assessment of said property made,for the purpose of State and county taxation,
previous to the incurring of such indebtedness
The foregoing was adopted as an amendment in 1879. Before its adoption the section read so as to authorize municipal corporations to issue bonds
In aid of railroads to- ten per cent of valuation. Hence the amendment
consisted In simply changing the word len and making it five.
This is all the Constitution contains with reference to the debts of municipalities. The Legislatute, however, has made some general provisions
governing bond issues which we have not the apace to give here.
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.
-Four amendments to the State
Constitution were adopted at the November 1902 election. Two of thtse
relate to taxation, a third to school fund loans and the fourth to a State
road and bridge fund. In 1906 three further amendments were adopted.
one of which greatly enlarges the powers of the Legislature with reference
to taxation. This amendment was again submitted to the voters at the
election on Nov. 3 1908, but failed to carry. V. 87, p. 1372. This was
done, owing to the fact that some parties In the State claimed It did not
carry in 1906. This case was taken to the State Supreme Court for argument In Dec. 1908 and on Jan. 7 1900 the Court handed down a decision
to the effect that the amendment was adopted at the 1906 election and
therefore was operative. V. 88, p. 243. The other two amendments of
1006 relate to State roads and to the sale of farm and garden products without a license. At the November 1907 election a further amendment was
adopted to Section 16 of Article 9, relating to an annual tax levy for the
construction of roads and bridges. V. 85, p. 1289. This was also resubmitted at the November 1908 election, and was rejected; V.87. p. 1372.
Five amendments to the Constitution will be presented to the voters in
November 1910. V. 89, p. 1022.
-The Legislature of 1907 enacted a law,
MORTGAGE TAX LAW.
which became effective April 30 1907, imposing a tax 01 50 cents upon
each hundred dollars of the principal debt, secured by any mortgage or
real property located within the State, recorded or registered on or after
April 30 1907. The full text of this law will be found on page 1194 of the
"Chronicle" of May 18 1907.
SAVINGS BANK INVESTMENTS.
-The Legislature in 1903 enacted a
law-Chapter 108-amending the Act relating to the investments of sit% Inge
banks. This Act will be found in full on page 877 of the "Chronicle"
April 18 1903.

HISTORY OF DEBT.
State (in 1861) it had a bonded debt of $150,000. The Constitution of 1895
limited the debt-making power to 31,000,000 (with certain restrictions and
exceptions), as more fully described below. In 1866 the bonded debt was
$630,775, of which the State owned $28,650. In 1878 the total bonded debt
was $1,181,975, of which the State owned $713,600. The bonded debt
July 1 1909 was $520,000, all held by the State Permanent School Fund.
The Permanent School Funds on/Sept. 1 1909 aggregated $8,800,358.
• The 3210,000 4% bonds authorized by the Legislature in 1905 for an oil
refinery In connection with a branch penitentiary were offered for sale on
March 31 1905, but all bids were rejected-the State officials having determined to have the Supreme Court pass upon the validity of the Issue. See
V. 80, p. 1384, 1254 and 1073. The Supreme Court on July 7 1905 declared
the Act unconstitutional. See V. 81, p. 224, also editorial on page 182.

of values after the panic of 1893, the city's indebtedness passed the 3%
limit fixed by the Constitution. were declared illegal by the State Supreme
Court on Dec. 21 1896. On Feb. 24 1903 the Legislature passed an Act
providing for a city election prior to Sept. 1 1903 to authorize a 3-mill tax
to take up these excess warrants. Doubts were raised as to the constitutionality of the Act and no election was held. The city is anxious to pay
these warrants, and as soon as a legal way of doing so can be found they
will be taken care of.

an Act exempting municipal bonds from taxation provided certain conditions are complied with. The Act follows:
CHAPTER 17, LAWS OF 1905.
-Be It Enacted, Etc.: "That coupon or
registered Interest-bearing bonds of the State of Wyoming, or any county,
school district or municipality of the State of Wyoming, shall be exempt
from taxation when owned by actual residents of tile State, provided that
the owner or owners of such securities shall list the same annually on their
assessment schedule, describing such bonds and the amount thereof, and
shall mark opposite thereto on such schedule 'exempt.'"
DEBT LIMITATION.
-In Wyoming the provisions of the Constitution
with respect to debt contraction and limitation are quite voluminous.
They arc all found in Article 16 of that Instrument, and prohibit the State
from creating any indebtedness exceeding 1 % of the assessed valuation
except to suppress insurrection or to provide for the public defense. Counties, cities, towns or villages, or any subdivision thereof, arc limited to
2% on the assessed valuation. An additional indebtedness of not exceeding 4% Is permitted in the cases of cities, towns or villages for the purpose
of building sewers therein. Neither the State nor any subdivision shall
loan or give Its credit or make donations to, or In aid of, any individual,
association or corporation. Citations from tile laws of the State respecting
debt limitation will be found on page 137 of the "State and City Supplement" of April 1895.

MUNICIPAL AND COUNTY INDEBTEDNESS —A new Constitution
went into effect in April 1902. One of Its provisions fixes a limit of indebtedness in the cases of cities and towns of 18% of the assessed value of real
estate, unless the issue be authorized by a majority of the qualified voters.
V. 74, p. 741. Under a law passed in 1908 (Chapter 70) the right is given
to any magisterial district located in counties of this State to Issue bonds
at not exceeding 6% interest for roads and bridges up to 10% of the assessed
value of the taxable property contained therein, provided they are authorized by a majority vote. A tax levy must be made each year to meet the
Interest and provide a sinking fund to extinguish the debt in thirty-four
years.
STATE DEBT.—For a detailed report of the Virginia debt as it stood prior
to 1892, and for the history of the debt settlement made by and between
the Virginia Debt Commission and the Bondholders' Committee, see the
"State and ',City Supplement" of April, 1893, pages 151 and ,152.
In January 1903 an adjustment was effected of the claims of the
State against the National Government on account of the War of 1812 and
of the counter claims for interest and principal on bonds against the State
by the National Govenment. See V. 76, p• 119.
On Sept. 1 1909 Virginia's debt stood as shown below:

(Subject to call after 1900.)
The Literary Fund on Sept. 1 1909 held $223,500 Century bonds and
$1,579,927.28 of Riddiebergers; tote , $1,803,427.28. These, being held
alive in the Fund, form part of the outstanding amounts in the table.
Of the $16,665,367.20 Century bonds, $5,290,000 are coupon, $11,373,800
registered and $1,567.20 fractional certificates; of the $5,853,954.16 Illidiebergers, $1,628,500 are coupon, $4,224,300are registered and $1,154.16

The interest on tile Century bonds was 2% for the first 10 years (or until
July 1 1901), and 3% thereafter. Both Issues are exempt from taxation.

Note.—The school and college debt here mentioned does not represent
any obligations outstanding in the hands of the public. It consists entirely
of amounts owing the educational institutions, and is evidenced by certificates of indebtedness issued under Chapter 344, Laws of 1892. These certificates are redeemable at pleasure of the State and are non-transferable.
The Virginia Legislature re-enacted the Funding Act of Feb. 20 1892,
and under its provisions all old Virginia bonds were allowed to be brought
In and funded Into new Century bonds, upon the same terms as the Olcott
settlement, provided they were presented for funding prior to Dec. 311896.
By the Act of Jan. 25 1898, however, bondholders were given until July 1
1898 to come in and accept the terms, and the time has been repeatedly
extended since then, the latest extension having been until December
31 1909. Bonds funded under any amendment or extension to the Act

of February 20 1892 carry interest from the semi-annual period next
preceding use date of funding. Under use old law coupon bonds once
converted into registered certificates were not re-convertible Into coupon
bonds, but under the Acts of 1882 and 1892 coupon and registered bonds
are interchangeable.
WEST VIRGINIA CERTWICATES.—In the settlement of 1871 It was
assumed that West Virginia should provide for one-third the principal
and interest of the then existing debt, that is, $15,239,370 out of tile total
debt of $45,718,112. To represent, therefore, West Virginia's share of
bonds funded, "deferred certificates" were Issued. West Virginia, however, has refused to recognize these certificates, and a movement begun in
August 1898 to compel recognition continues actively in progress. The
plan provides for ascertaining.the exact amount of the old Virginia debt with
which West Va. Is justly chargeable (subject to certain limitations), and
then compromising that amount at the same percentage at which Virginia
compromised the two-thirds of the original Virginia debt, namely, 60% for
principal and 30U % for interest. (See editorial in "State & City Supplement" for Apr. 1899). The Legislature of Virginia in Mch. 1900 passed
a bill authorizing the State Debt Commission to take such action and institute such proceedings as may be deemed proper to protect the State's interests and to bring about a settlement with West Virglina. (V.70, p. 494.)
The original plan has been somewhat amended to meet present requirements; see digest in V. 76, p. 770. V. 79. p. 2759. In December 1905
the State Debt Commission decided to bring suit against the State of
West Virginia, and a bill was accordingly filed in the United States
Supreme Court early In 1006. See V. 81, p. 1623; V. 82, p. 584. On May
27 1907 Chief Justice Fuller of the United States Supreme Court handed
down the decision of theCourt overruling tile demurrer Interposed by tile
State of West Virginia to the suit. See V. 84, p. 641 and 1382; also editorial
on page 1330. On May 6 1908 Chief Justice Fuller of the United States
Supreme Court made public the terms of the decree of that tribunal ordering
the taking of testimony by a special master.
V. 86, p. 1176. This case
came up on May '4 1009 before the Special Master appointed In June
1908, but the hearing has been postponed from time to time, having been
deferred until Nov. 22 1909, V. 89. p. 868.
Application was made June 3 1900 and granted by the Governing Committee June 13 1900 to list Brown Bros. & Co.'s Virginia deferred certificates (representing the originals of the 1871 issue only) on the New York
Stock Exchange. The amount listed up to Nov. 20 1909 was $11,116,565.
After about three-fourths of the old Virginia bonds had been surrendered.
and "deferred certificates" been given to represent West Virginia's one
third, under the Acts of 1871 and 1879, these Acts were repealed. Tile remaining bonds were refunded under other laws. These laws required a
certificate to represent one-third the principal of tile old bonds brought In
for funding, but gave "non-Interest-bearing certificates" to represent onethird the interest on old bonds. There is something less than $475,000 of
bonds and Interest yet outstanding which is fundable under the current
law of 1892. The following shows the amount of each refunding issue.

Section 49. The General Assembly may contract debts to meet casual
deficits or failures in the revenue; but such debts, direct or contingent,
singly or in the aggregate, shall not at any time exceed five hundred thousand dollars, and the moneys arising from loans creating such debts shall
be applied only to the purpose or purposes for which they were obtained,
or to repay such debts: Provided, The General Assembly may contract
debts to repel invasion, suppress insurrection, or, if hostilities are threatened, provide for the public defense.
Section 50. No Act of the General Assembly shall authorize any debt to
be contracted on behalf of tile Commonwealth except for the purposes mentioned in Section 49 unless provision be made therein to levy and collect an
annual tax sufficient to pay the interest stipulated, and to discharge the
debt within thirty years; nor shall such Act take effect until it shall have
been submitted to the people at a general election and shall have received a
majority of all the votes cast for and against it: Provided, The General
Assembly may contract debts by borrowing money to pay any part of the
debt of the State without suomisslon to the people ana without making
provision in the Act authorizing the same for a tax to discharge the debt so
contracted or the interest thereon.
Cities, Towns, Etc.-Cities, towns, counties, taxing districts and other
municipalities are limited by Sections 157 and 158 of the Constitution
Section 157 provides that no debt of any kind may be created to an amount
exceeding in any year tile income and revenue provided for such year unless

purpose. In Section 158 we find the following limits to the debt-making
power of municipalities. Cities having over 15,000 population 10% of the

made to these limits. For instance, Indebtedness may be contracted In
excess of the limit when same has been authorized under laws in force prio
to the adoption of the Constitution (Sept. 28 1891) or when necessary for
the completion of a public improvement undertaken but not finished at the
time of the adoption of the Constitution. A further exception Is made In
the case of such places as had exceeded the prescribed limit at the time the
Constitution went into effect. In such instances permission is given to
further increase debt In an amount not exceeding 2% in the case of cities
and towns and not exceeding 1% in the case of counties, taxing districts or
other municipalities-"until the aggregate of its indebtedness shall have
been reduced below the limit herein fixed, and thereafter it shall not exceed

Nov., 1909.1

NORTH CAROLINA-CITIES AND TOWNS.

STATE DEBT -The old debt, excepting such as is not recognized, has
mostly been funded under the funding laws of 1879, the time prescribed for
the exchange having been extended to January 1 1010. These laws provided for the Issue of (1) consolidated 4% bonds due in 1910 to fund old antewar bonds at 40% of face value, "new" railroad bonds recognized as valid
at 25% and bonds of 1866 and 1868 at 15%, nothing being given for overdue coupons; and (2) for new consolidated 6% bonds due in 1919, for which
the North Carolina RR. construction bonds were made exchangeable at
par, holders of construction bonds abating $240 of overdue interest on each
$1,000 bond. The new bonds. both 4s and Gs, carry tax-receivable coupons
and are exempt from "all State county or corporate taxation or assessment,
direct or indirect, general or special." The 4s of 1903 are also exempt from
taxation.
In compliance with a decision of the United States Supreme Court handed
down Feb. 1 1004, North Carolina on April 1 1905 paid to the State of
South Dakota $27,400, representing the judgment obtained by the latter
State on $10,000 bonds (donated to the State of South Dakota for the
express purpose of bringing suit, an individual not being able to sue a State)
issued by North Carolina and secured by 100 shares of stock of the North
Carolina RR. Co and the holders of which had refused to accept the provisions of the funding law of 1879. See V.78. p. 594; V.70, p. 1728; V.80
p. 1382; and also editorials on the subject, V. 78, p. 1248; V. 80, p. 1332.
The State also settled with the remaining holders of this particular class of
unfunded bonds, Issuing the $250,000 bonds of 1905 mentloned below to
provide means of payment.
A committee of bondholders has been endeavoring to enforce payment of
the special tax bonds of this State. V. 85, p. 1100. A committee of bondholders also offered to donate to the State of New York a large amount of
these bonds for the purpose of bringing sult, but the offer was declined.
V. 88, p. 121.
An amendment to the State Constitution passed by the Legislature In
1879 and ratified by popular vote in 1880 forbids the General Assembly to
pay or recognize as valid the following bonds: Special tax bonds, $11,365,000; bonds to Chathain RR., 1868, $1,030,000, and to Williamston & Tarboro RR., $150,000; penitentiary bonds of 1868, $44,000, "unless the proposing to pay the same shall have first been submitted to the people and by
them ratified by the vote of a majority of all the qualified voters of the State
at a regular election held for the purpose." The special tax bonds were In
three classes, class 1 bearing the coupon of April 1860 and since; class 2
bearing the coupon of Oct. 1869: class 3 bearing the coupon of April 1870.
The recognized debt which had been adjusted up to Sept. 1 1900 stood as
follows:

-The consolidated 4s are $50, $100, $500 and
PAR VALUE OF BONDS.
$1,000; the consolidated 6s, $1,000 each. The bonds of 1003 are for $500
and 31,000 each.
INTEREST on the consolidated 4s and 6s, South Dakota judgment and
Schaefer bonds and the 1909 bonds is payable in New York at the National
Park Bank and in Raleigh.
-The recogTOTAL DEBT RECOGNIZED AND TOTAL A DJUSTE D.
nized fundable debt which has been funded and the recognized fundable
debt which had not been funded Sept. 1 1009 were as follows:

$19,000
$2,720,000
Consols,6%
157,170
3,427,000
Consols, 4%
To the foregoing we should add the further fact that the State does not
have to raise money for the interest on the 6% bonds for the reason that the
lease of the North Carolina RR. provides a fund for tile payment of the
interest thereon, and the State holds three millions (par value) In the stock
of the road, which if sold would much more than pay the principal. In
addition the State holds other stocks and bonds valued at $1,345,750
The 1900 Legislature authorized the issuance of $3,430,000 coupon
bonds. V. 89, p. 741.
-The State's assessed valuation prior to 1903

was made on the basis of about 2-3 of the cash value; in 1903, however, the
attempt was to assess at true value, which accounts for the large increase

SOUTH CAROLINA-DEBT OF STATE.

169

Assembly to create any further debt or obligation, either by the loan of the
credit of the State, by guaranty, endorsement or otherwise, except for the
ordinary and current business of the State, without first submitting the
question to the qualified voters of the State at a general State election.
Two-thirds vote necessary to authorize.
COUNTIES, CITIES, &c -The constitutional limitations as to the Indebtedness of counties, municipalities &c., are covered by Section 7 of
Article VIII. and Section 5 of Article X of the State Constitution of 1893.
These provide that the bonded debt of any county, township, school district, municipal corporation or political division or sub-division of the State
shall never exceed 8% of the assessed value of all the taxable property
therein; and no such debt can be created in any city or town without submitting the question to the qualified electors. It is also provided that a
sinking fund should be established to redeem bonds at maturity. Under
an amendment authorized by vote in 1900 and ratified by the Assembly
In 1901, the 8% limit does not apply to the bonded debt Incurred by the
cities of Columbia, Rock Hill, Charleston and Florence. where the proceeds
of said bonds are applied solely for the purchase, establishment. maintenance or Increase of water-works plant and sewerage system; nor does
the limit apply to the City of Georgetown and Greenville, where the proceeds of the sale of bonds are applied solely to the purchase, establishment,
maintenance or increase of water-works plant, sewerage system, or gas and
electric-light plants. By a vote in 1906, ratified by the Legislature In
1907. the city of Bennettsville may also increase its Indebtedness beyond
the 8% limit, where the proceeds are applied solely to the purchase, establishment and maintenance of a water-works-plant, or sewerage system,
provided the question of incurring such indebtedness is submitted to the
voters of said municipality. At the cleat
Nov. 3 1908 a somewhat
similar privilege was granted the town of Gaffney. V. 87, p. 1372.
A provision is made in Section 5 of Article X that, "wherever there shall
be several political divisions, or municipal corporations covering or extending over the territory or portions thereof, possessing a power to levy
a tax or contract a debt, then each of such political divisions or municipal
corporations shall so exercise its power to increase its debt under the foregoing 8% limitation that the aggregate debt over and upon any territory
of this State shall never exceed 15% of the value of all taxable property
In such territory as valued for taxation by the State. Provided that nothing herein shall prevent the issue of bonds for the purpose of paying or refunding any valid municipal debt heretofore contracted In excess of 8%
(C) City. (T) Town. a Total tax. b County tax. C State & County tax.
of the assessed value of all the taxable property therein."
FUTURE ISSUES OF SCHOOL BONDS EXEMPT FROM TAXATION.
The 1908 Legislature passed an Act, which was approved Feb. 14 1908,
exempting from taxation all bonds hereafter Issued by school districts
for the erection of school buildings, for equipment, for maintaining public

Birmingham is in Jefferson County. Incorporated 1871. The new
State Constitution, which went into effect Nov. 28 1001, provides that this
city may levy and collect a tax not to exceed A of 1%, in addition to the
tax of A of 1% (as provided in tile 1889 amendment to the old Constitution), to be applied exclusively to the payment of interest on bonds of this
city issued prior to Nov. 28 1901 (or which at that time were authorized
to be issued), and for a sinking fund to pay off said bonds at maturity.
A legislative Act providing for consolidation with North Birmingham and
other municipalities so as to form the "Greater Birmingham" and to become effective in Oct. 1909, was declared unconstitutional. V. 88, p. 698.
A similar Act passed by the 1909 special session of the Legislature providing
for consolidation Jan. 1 1910 has also been declared unconstitutional by

In September 1889 it was discovered that a number of bonds had been
fraudulently issued. Part of these were subsequently recovered, but $308,500 consols so Issued ($303,500 being consols of 1874 and $5,000 Constitutional bonds) are still outstanding. The State considers them "null and
void," and they are therefore not included in the amount outstanding above.
There are also $421,035 (estimated) fraudulently issued baby bonds outstanding.
There are, moreover, old bonds not recofgnized, and hence not fundable,
amounting to $3,953,000. These include New Orleans Mobile & Texas 8%
bonds, endorsed, $875,000;8% State bonds issued to said road, $2,500,000;
8% bonds issued to the N. 0. Mobile & Chattanooga RR.. $70,000; 7.30%
bonds issued to the Mississippi & Mexican Gulf Ship Canal Co., $260,000,&c,
The baby bonds in the table above were due in 1886. They were issued
to fund certain obligations of charitable institutions, and only the unpaid
taxes due the State prior to 1879 were pledged for their payment. A portion
of this revenue, however, was diverted and an Act was passed in 1894 providing that in the discretion of the Board of Liquidation any surplus to
the credit of the general fund might be used in retiring these bonds at not
more than 50 cents on the dollar of their face value, including any and all
overdue interest. See "Chronicle," V. 68, p. 987. There has been no litigation on the matter since the Act of 1894, under which holders of $364,295
bonds have disposed of same to the State at an average price of 41.25 cents
on the dollar. In recent years the State has not offered to make any further purchases of these bonds. See V.80, p. 1382.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMEN DMENTS.-At the November 1906 election
amendments to the State Constitution were voted. Two of the
eleven
amendments relate to the issuance of $8,000,000 sewer and $200,000 school
teachers' salary bonds by the city of New Orleans. See V. 83, p. 1306.
On Nov.3 1008 ten amendments to the Constitution were adopted. Important among them was the one authorizing the city of New Orleans to issue
the $2,000,000 5% tax-exempt Public Belt Railroad bonds (V. 87, p. 415)
and the one authorizing $3,500,000 5% Port of New Orleans bonds. Another
amendment alters the provisions now set forth in an Act passed in 1906.
which authorized New Orleans to issue the $8,000,000 4% public-improvement bonds mentioned in V. 83, p. 1306, so as to allow the purchaser of
these bonds, when issued, a commission or deduction not to exceed 6%.
One other amendment, which is to Article 281 of the Constitution, prescribes the manner in which municipal corporations, parishes and drainage
districts may issue bonds. Still another amendment provides for the
exemption from taxation, under prescribed conditions, of loans made upon
mortgages of real estate and the notes evidencing such loans and loans made
by life Insurance companies. V. 87, p. 1434.

NEW ORLEANS. Chas. R. Kennedy, Comptroller; T.
Wolfe Jr., Secretary Board of Liquidation.
New Orleans is co-extensive with the parish of Orleans. It was incorporated July 11852. An amendment to the Louisiana Constitution authorizing the city to refund its debt at a lower rate of interest was adopted In
1892, and the city has issued 4% 50-year bonds to the amount of $10,000,000, thus enabling It to pay all its maturing loans and all those upon which
It had option. The amendment provides that the interest tax collected
in excess of requirements shall be divided between city schools and city
Improvements. The new Louisiana Constitution, in effect May 12 1898.
confirmed these arrangements.
On June 6 1899 the city voted a special tax of 2 mills for water, sewer and
drainage purposes, Intended to provide for an Issue of from 12 to 18 million
bonds. As this required an amendment to the State Constitution, the
Legislature, in special session, passed a bill for Its submission to a vote of
the people of the State. At this election the amendment was approved
and $12,000,000 of the bonds were awarded in Dec. 1900 (V. 71, p. 1283),
to be issued from time to time as the Improvement progressed. The whole
amount is out. In Mch. 1903 the vallidty of this Act was tested in the Civil
District Court and affirmed. V. 76, p. 770. The case was taken to the
State Supreme Court and the validity of the Act was again upheld. V. 76,
p. 989. At the Nov. 1906 election two amendments to the State Constitution in relation to the City of New Orleans were ratified by the voters; one
of these authorized the city to issue $8,000,000 sewer bonds and the other
$200,000 teachers' salary bonds. V. 83, p. 1306, and V. 87, p. 1110,
1434 and 1556. $1,000,000 of the sewer bonds were sold on May 21 1909
(V. 88, p. 1388), and the teachers' salary bonds were disposed of on July 13
1909. V. 89, p. 180.

Galveston, the leading seaport of Texas, is the county seat of Galveston
County, and was incorporated In March 1839.
The county of Galveston has completed the work of constructing a seawall, costing about a million and a half dollars, and devised by a board of
eminent engineers, to protect the city from invasion by the sea.
A contract has been entered into and the grade of the streets of the city
and private property is being raised by pumping In sand to the height of
an average of about 12 feet, covering about 2-3 of the total area of the city
and beginning immediately back of tile seawall. This work is to be paid
for by an issue of bonds of $2,000,000. There has been put out to date
about $1,850,000, of which over $550,000 have been taken by the city's
various sinking funds, and before the completion of the contract the city
is committed to take for the account of its sinking funds a total of $666,000
of these bonds, or 1-3 of the total issue.
