DANA COMPANY, Pine Street, corner of Pearl Street, New York WA TER OBL 7GA TIONS TJTSIDE DEB T decisions have been rendered the present year bearing upon the right of municipali- inour indebtedness for water works or water supply, or to enter into contracts for that purpose, ties to where the effect is to create liabilities outside of and in excess of the debt limitations fixed by State constitutions. We £ay where the effect is to exceed the debt no attempt to directly issue bonds in excess of a prescribed limit would be made, or if it were made could hope to succeed, since the courts would be quick to put their seal of condemnation npon it. Tae need, however, of an adequate water supply is often urgent, and where const i'utional barriers exist against raising the means for that purpose, a municipality or a legislature will not infrequently attempt to climb ever the same. The recent decisions teach a lesson in that regard whose significance is plain. They demonstrate (what, indeed, was known before, though the fact is often oveilooked) that courts are inclined to construe constitutional inhibitions strictly, and will not tolerate efforts to do indirectly what it is forbidden to do directly. It may be said, too, that this isas it should be. It is ca3y to see good reasons why water debt should stand on a separate footing and, therefore, should not come within the provisions of a debt limit. One cf these reasons is that the water brings its own revenue, and hence iadebtedness incurred to obtain it need not entail any burden upon the municipality. The fact is recognized in many of the States, the constitutions distinctly providing that water obligations shall not be counted in computing the indebted- limitations, for obviously tional limits are intended to provide against excesses, observance of these carefully devised safeguards. Among the judicial decisions we have in mind, a rather interesting case LIMITS ILLEGAL.

Constitution is low only 5 per cent on the taxable value. As many of the cities of the State had reached this limit and yet wanted to spend money on their water systems, the Illinois Legislature in 1899 passed a water-works-imprcvement law the purpose of which was to get around the difficulty. The new law allowed — the issue of water certificates against the earniegs of the water department. Several cities took advantage of the permission given and issued these From the first, certificates. however, there was doubt as to the gality of the statute. Finally, when the le- city of Joliet authorized $240,000 of such certificates, a test case was brought to determine the constitutionality of the Aot, Upon a petition for an injunction restraining the city from entering into a contract for the enlargement and improvement of its water-works system, Judge Dibell made his ruling, granting the injunction and declaring that cities could not avail of the law unless the total amount sought to be set aside from the future earnings of the water department came within the constitutional 5 per cent limit governing bond issues. Judge Dibell said that the sole question for consider- ation was whether an indebtedness of the city would meaning of the Constitutional That an indebtedness was restriction of 5 per cent. being created, he thought, was obvious.

The city now owns a waterworks system yielding a net income of $2, 000 per anConsiderable interest has been felt by investors and num, and which income it was expected would be municipal bond houses in the work of the Alabama largely increased. That income was to be pledged for Constitutional Convention. This body has recently NEW the payment of the certificates. improvement If the price to be paid system was not a debt of the city, the court said it was unable to see by what authority the city could mortgage its present property and pledge its present income to secure the payment thereof. J udge Dibell pointed out that the only difference between this contract and any ordinary contract which the city might make for the eolirgement of its water works system on credit was that in this instance it was the intent that the payment should be made only out of the income to be derived by the city from supplying the public with water through said system at the rates prescribed, and that no other funds were to be resorted to for such payment. The Court said that a distinction was sought to be drawn between an indebtedness contracted by the city for the of the concluded its labors, having formed a new Constitution which is to be submitted to the people of the State for adoption at the election on November 11. As was pointed out in the columns of the Chronicle on July 6 last, the old instrument which has been in effect since 1875 is radically defective in the provisions relating to debt and taxation. Bacause of these defects a decidedly anomalous situation has arisen concerning the credit and the interest and debt-paying ability of the municipalities (and also of some counties) of the State. While the Convention was in session, many of the State's more thoughtful citizens, and many of its wellwishers outside of the State, were indefatigable in members frame a new instrument which in the particulars mentioned should be adequate to the requirements and be a credit to the their efforts to induce the to government and an in- people of that old Commonwealth.

One distinct improvement is observed in the new instrument. There are very elaborate provisions limiting the debt, as well as the tax rates provisions which are entirely lacking in the old document. Here, also, we observe variations and — flexibility, as in the case of the tax rates, different towns and cities being granted different percentages, apparently to meet the differing necessities of each.

We give both below. The general limit Is left at one-half of one per cent. The added limit for debt existing at the time of the adoption of the old Constitution is kept at one per cent. The exceptions in the case of Msbile, which are a feature of the existing instrument, are continued in the new. Huntsville and Bessemer and the town of Audalasia are placed on the same footing with Birmingham, which by Constitutional amendment adopted in 1899 was given the right, as stated above, to levy an extra one-half of one per cent to pay aterest and principal of its debt Montgomery Is given authority to levy an extra three- quarters of OTie per cent to be devoted to the same purpose, "and to the maintenance of its public schools and public conveniences/' A number of other cities are also mentioned where it is permissible to levy extra taxes undei specified conditions some up to one-half of one per cent, others only up to three-tenths of one per cent. In the case of most of the cities that are endowed with extra tax-levying powers, it is distinctly provided that the extra tax must be authorized "by a majority vote of the qualified electors voting at a special election held for the purpose."

To bring down the interestbearing debt to Oct. 1 1901 which, as stated, was $987,141,040 on June 30 1900 we must deduct the following: From the Loan of 1908-1918 $1,357,200, from the Funded Loan of 1907, $9,131,350, from the Refunding Certificates, $120, from the and from the Loan of 1904, $H12,650 (a deduction of $20,174,920), to reach the total of the Loan of 19J5, $3,860,6 interest-bearing debt Octo er 1, 1901. which was $966,966,120. For later and future details of the debt, see the same as issued every month in the Chronicle, the first or a later Saturday. We now add, first, references to and citations from the laws which are the authority for the debt as it stands to-day, including the new 2 per cent loan authorized March 14, 1900 second, the two tables on the next page, which exhibit all the particulars of the total debt of the United States on June 30 of each year from 1876 to 1901, and on October 1, 1901; third, the Pacific Railroad bonds, which are never included in the Treasury debt statements. " FUNDED LOAN OF 1 891 " (Column 1) 4^ per cents, continued at 2 per cent. The bonds of this issue were issued In exohange for the 413 per cent funded loan of 1891 by agreement between the Secretary of the Treasury and the holders, and were made redeemable at tfee pleasure of the Government. Amount issued $25,364,500, but May 18 all were called for redemption on August Is, when interest ceased. "CONSOLS OF 1 930."— (Column 9.) Bonds (2 per cent payable at the pleasure of the Government after 30 years) authorised in " Act to define and fix the standard of value," etc. (for copy of Act see Chronicle, March 3, 1900, page 411), for the purpose of refunding (2) bonds bearing interest at 4 per cent payable July (1) outstanding United States bonds bearing interest at 5 per cent payable Feb. 1, 1904 For details of arrangement see 1, 1907, and (3) bonds bearing interest at 3 per cent payable August 1, 1908 (the " ten-twenties of 1898"). Secretary Gige's circular with reference to the operations for carrying out the refunding provisions of the bill in Chronicle, March 17, 1900, page 5Qi). Of these 2 per cents there werd outstanding October 1, 1901, according to debt statement, $445,940,750. " LOAN OF 1908-1918."— (Column 7.) The bonds included under this head are an issue of $200,000,000 3 per cents. They were authorized by Act of June 13 1&98, 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 Juue 13 1898, page 168,) inviting subscriptions for 32 days.from June 13 to July 14, for the amount of bonds stated, in both coupon and registered form, coupons in denominations of $i20, $100, $500 and $1,000, and registered in denominations of same amounts, and also in $5,000 and $10,000, dat-d August 1 1898, redeemable in coin at the pleasure of the United States after ten years from date of issue, and due and payable August 1 1918. See oircular for further details. Subscriptions reached the amount of $1,325,000,00 J. The amount now outstanding (2) — — ; ; 1 (October 1 1901) is $98,254,220. (Column 2) 4 per cents. The aot of July 14, 1870, authorized the issue of 1,000 million dollars of bonds at 4 1 per oent, payable in coin of the present standard value, at the pleasure of the United States after thirty years; these bonds to be exempt from all taxes or duties of the United States, as well as from taxation in any form by or under State, municipal or local authority. Bonds to be sold at not less than par in ooin, and proceeds to be applied to the redemption of outstanding 5-20s, par for par. Outstanding (Ootober 1, 1901), $248,241,700. " REFUNDING CERTIFICATES" (Column 3).— Act of February 26 1879 authorized the Secretary of the Treasury to issue in exchang* for lawful money of the United States certiticates of deposit of the denomination of ten dollars, bearing interest at the rate of 4 per cent, and convertible at any time, with accrued interest, into the 4 per cent bonds described in the Refunding aot; the money so received to be applied only to the payment of the bonds bearing interest at a rate not less than 5 per cent. On March 12 1879 the issue of these certificates and their exohange into 4 per cent bonds were authorized; the certidcates were to draw 4 per cent interest from April 1 1879 and were converti >.e in sums of $50 or its multiples. The amount issued at the close of the fiscal year (June 30 1879) was $39,308,110, but they had been converted so rapidly that there were outstanding at that date only $12,848,210. On October 31 1879 the entire authorization had been reaohed, the maximum amount of the issue being $40,012,750. Of these there were still outstanding on October 1, 1901, a total of $33,200. " LOAN OF 1 925."— (Column 5.) Sales of bonds included under this designation were effected (1) in February 1895 to the amount of $62,315,400 and (2) in February 1896 to the amount of $100,000,000. In a message to Congress under date of February 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 Statue* the details of an arrangement have this day been concluded whereby bonds authorized under tlie act of July 14 1875, payable in coin at the pleasure of the United States after the first day of Feb., 1925, with interest at the rate of 4 per cent per annum, to the amount of $62,315,400. are to be issued for the purchase of gold ooin 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 dx the rate of interest upon the amount of gold realized at 331P. 0. per .inuum. At least one-half of thegold to be obtained is to be supplied from abroad. Section 3700 of the Revised Statutes is as follows: "Sec 3700. The Seoretary of the Treasury may purchase coin with auy of the bouds or notes of the United States authorized by law at suoh rates and upon such terms as he may deem most advantageous to the public interest." For a construction of the "Refunding Act of 1870" and of the " Resumption Act of 1875," see Chronicle, February 18 1893, page 205. The issue in February 1896 was an ordinary offering, open to all bidders, of $100,000,000 of the same bonds as the foregoin<— 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 $153,454,800. "LOAN OF 1 904."— (Column 4.) The act of January 14 1875 authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to use any surplus revenues from time to time in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, and to issue, sell, dispose of, at not less than par in coin, either of the description! 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 lee* an fifty dollars. Under this authorization, and for the purpose mentioned, there were issued in Feb., 1894, payable in 10 years, $50,000,000 ot 000 of 5 per cents and in Nov 1894, there were issued $50,000,000 more for similar bonds for same purpose. Now outstanding $21,011,4.50. '' FUNDED LOAN OF 907 " , ) STATE AND CITY SUf ftEMENT, Vol. LXX1II In April, 1395, we gave a table showing the debt of the United States on the first day of July 1856, and every subsequent Wo have determined on this occasion to begin our statement with It is not necessary bo repeat all those figures. 1S76. 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 States where these limitations are provisions of the Constitution of course debts contracted in excess of such limitation are absolutely void. In Maine the amendment to the Constitution took effect January 2, 1878, and is in the following form and words: " Article XXII. Limitation of Municipal Indebtedness. No city or town " shall create any debt or liability which, singly or in the aggregate, " with previous debts or liabilities, shall exceed five per centum of the " last regular valuation of said city or town provided, however, that " the adoption of this article shall not be construed as applying to any " fund received in trust by the said city or town, nor to any loan for the " purpose of renewing existing loans, or for war, or to temporary loans " to be paid out of money raised by taxation during the year in which ; " they are made." SAVINGS BANKS' INVESTMENTS-POWERS AND RESTRICTIONS.—The provisions regulating the investments and loans of savings banks and institutions for savings in the State of Maine are contained in Public Laws 1895, Chapter 161, Publio Laws 1893, Chapter 170, and Revised Statutes, Chapter 47, Sections 102 and 103.

New Hampshire's debt history is very brief. This State has always been extremely conservative, and no bonds were issued until after the breaking out of the CivU War. In 1866 New Hampshire reported her funded indebtedness at $4,169,818, contracted exclusively for war purposes. June 1, 1869, the total outstanding was $3,213,962 22, against which the Treasurer reported an asset of $77,082 89. The situation of the State debt now is as bel >w: LOANS Agricultural CoUege 1893.

The convention for this purpose wdl convene in the fall of 1902. DEBT LIMITATION.—There is no restriction in the Constitution of New Hampshire upon the debt-making power of the people through the " General Court," except the following, which is the last olause of Article 5 of Part Second of that instrument. Provided, That the General Court shall not authorize any town to loan or give its money or credit directly or indirectly for the benefit of any corporation having for its object a dividend of profits or in any way aid the same by taking its stocks or bonds. The above is an amendment to the Constitution, which was ratified in 1877. The amendment would appear to be intended as a complete estoppel to municipal loaning of money or credit to railroad and industrial corporations. It is to be noticed, however, that by its terms the restriction does not specifically mention "cities," the words being " any town." In addition to the foregoing is the "Municipal Bond Act of 1895." It tells in the matter of Issuing bonds what a municipal corporation may do, what it must do, and what it cannot do. The law enacts: Sec. 1. The term "municipal corporation " means town, city, school district, village district and village precinct. Sec. 2. Bonds issued must be payable within 20 years, interest semi-annual, not exceeding 6 per cent, may be payable in gold coin. If made payable in less than 20 years, may be extended but never beyond 20 years from time of issue. See. 3. Bonds (except of cities) must be authorized by a vote of twothirds of all voters present and voting at an annual meeting of such corporation, or at a special meeting if properly called, &o. (for which Bonds must be signed by a majority of the Governing Board, see act) countersigned by Treasurer and have seal of corporation. Time and place of payment and rate of interest, &c, may be delegated to Governing Board. Sec. 4. City bonds must be authorized by resolution of City Council passed by at least two-thirds of members elected to each branch taken by yeas and nays, signed by Mayor, countersigned by Treasurer, seal of city affixed. Place of payment, rate of interest and sale may be delegated to Treasurer. Sec. 5. Bonds shall be payable to bearer or to registered holder by name, and must be in form set out in act— which see. In case bonds be made subject to call they must contain statement to that effect as given in act. "The validity of any bonds shall not be affected by any variation from the forms herein Sec. 6.

"All bonds purporting to be issued by virtue of this act and signed and sealed as hereinbefore provided shall in favor of bona fide holders be conclusively presumed to have been duly and regularly authorized and issued in accordance with the provisions herein contained, and no holder thereof shall be obliged to see io the existence of the purpose of the issue or to the regularity of any of the proceedings or to the application of the proceeds. All such bonds shall be negotiable in all respects and to the same extent as seSec. 8.

No bonds can be issued which shall increase the net debt of corporation to an amount exceeding 5 per cent of the value of the taxable property therein a« last appraised for assessing taxes. To ascertain net debt, all debts must lie included except the following, which must be deducted— water debt, "cash and other means" In treasury and sinking funds applicable to payment of debt so included; " but nothing contained in ins section shall prevent the issue of bonds for the purpose o/ refunding an equal principal amount of other bonds of such corporation."

DEBT LIMITATIONS.—There appears to be nothing In the Constitution or in the Statutes of Vermont providing a general limit to thfr debt-making power of municipalities. 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 publio character. Railroad subscriptions by towns are authorized by Section 2760, chapter 132 of the Revised Statutes, the section being as follows Section 2760. A town may aid in the construction of a railroad organized under the general law by issuing bonds to aid such railroad, by takine- 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 at the time. Such aid shall be given in the way provided in this chapter. It will be noticed that this section contains a limit to the power granted of making subscriptions in aid of railroads— to wit That the subscriptions shall not exceed eight times " the grand list." To evolve the " grand list" in Vermont, the authorities 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 this Is done "the grand list "Is made up by taking one per cent of that amount, according to Section 317, Chapter 25, of the Revised Statutes, which is as follows: "All taxable property shall be set in the list at one per cent of its value in money on the first day of April of the year " in which the list is made." Following Section 2760, above cited, which authorizes subscriptions In aid of railroads, are other sections describing the method in which these subscriptions must be made, by calling a town meeting, voting, Ac, &c. Then follows Section 2766, authorizing the issue of bonds. Section 2766. Such town may issue bonds, with coupons payable semi-annually, at a rate of interest not exceeding seven per cent, to aid such road. The only other general authority granted for the issue of bonds by municipal corporations in Vermont is that given for refunding outstanding bonds and notes. The Sections which grant this power are Sections 2769, 2775 and 2776, Chapter 132 of the Revised Statutes, Sections 2769 and 2776 are as follows: Section 2769. A town which has outstanding and unpaid negotiable notes or bonds, issued to pay for stock subscribed to a railroad company, under any act of the general assembly, may issue other negotiable notes or bonds to pay or retire such outstanding notes or bonds. : ; • ' — ; SW£ 14 y*flD SUmSMSNT. CJTY 7">. a town having outstanding and unpaid orders, notes, bonds or coupons, issued under any act of the Legislature, for the purpose oi the erection of public buildings, or in aid of public Improve- ments^ or tar the payment Of soldiers' bounties, may issue other negotiable notes or bonds for the purpose of retiring the outstanding orders, notes, bonds and coupons, in the same manner that it may issue new notes or bonds to pa> or retire outstanding notes or bonds Issued in aid of a railroad; and the powers, restrictions, duties and liabilities of the town and town officers in the matter shall be the same as is provided by law in the ease of the refunding by a town of town bonds Issued in aid of a railroad; and the interest on BUCh new notes or bonds shall be provided for in the same manner. By Section 277f> municipal corporations other than towns have the auie refunding powers granted them which are conferred upon towns by the two sections last above cited. The only other section which we need quote is Section 2751 of Chapter 130. which names the objects for which towns may vote money. If money is appropriated for any other object, the Charter or a special statute must be looked to for the authority. - OTIOM 2751.—Towns in town meetings may vote such sums of money as they |udge necessary for the support of the poor; for laying out aiid repairing highways; for the prosecution ana defense of the common rights and Interests of the inhabitants, and for other necessary incidental town expenses. OTIOM 4106.— The words "trust coinpanv" in this chapter shall be construed to include savings banks and trust companies. A savings bank, Barings 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 or the united States, or in national banks in the cities of St. Paul, Minneapolis and Kansas City, with or without interest, as may lie agreed upon, sums not exceeding in the aggregate twenty per cent of the assets of such savings bank, savings institution or trust company. Section 4107 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 iuspector of finance for not exceeding three years additional. Section 4108 authorizes savings banks to demand and receive on loans 6 per cent interest. i 332.422 I l><; 1S-.Q ;•;;•:. 1870 330,551 L850 1840 1830 814,120 291,948 280.652 1810 1800 1790 235,966 217,895 154,465 85,425 SAVINGS BANKS INVESTMENTS-PRIVILEGES AND RESTRICTIONS.—The provisions of law relating to savings banks are Chapter 174 of the Vermont statutes, Sections 4066 to 4131 amended from time to time. The first section having reference to investments is Section 4096, which treats of real estate mortgages. It authorizes the investment of 70 p.c. of the assets in such mortgages, one-sixth at least of which " shall be upon real estate in this State "—that is Vermont. A proviso adds that ouly 50 per cent of the assets may be invested in mortgages on real estate outside of Vermont. Sections 4097 and 4098 relate only to obtaining and paying for insurance. Section 4099 is as follows, and has reference to investment on personal security. Section 4099— No loans or investments on personal seourity shall be made except upon at least two approved names, uot less than two of found whom reside in this State or within fifty miles of the institution making such investment, and such personal loans or investments shall not be for a Longer time than one year; and not more than oue-third of the ts of a savings bank, savings institution or trust company shall be Invested in personal secur.' Section 4100 only covers a single point; that is to say it restricts to fire per cent of the deposits the amount which a savings bank may Invest in the lot and building for the transaction of its business, and adds that a revenue may be derived from portions of the building not required for the bank's use. The next section (Section 4101) covers the most important of the provisions relating to investments that are contained iD the law. We give the section in full below. The separation into paragraphs and the ligures in parenthesis which numberand begin the pira graphs are our own. Section 4101— With the foregoing exceptions, the moneys deposited Savings Banks, Savings Institutions and Trust Companies, and theiucouu therefrom, shall be invested only as follows: (1.)

This general limitation was lowered by a later law. The provision is found in Chapter 312, Section 2 of the Laws of 1885, which provision reduces the general debt limitation of cities from 3 per cent to 2*2 per cent on the average valuation for the preceding three years. Worcester, Lynn. Gloucester and Brockton are iu the same Section exempted from the operation of the Section until January 1, 1889— later than 1889 the only exemptions we And in the Statutes are special in their purpose, aot general. In 1893, however, authority was given for an addition of ij per cent, to provide public playgrounds— that is to say, under Chapter 225, Laws of 1893, any town or city (except Boston) may incur an indebtedness of *a% of the assessed valuation beyond the limit of in- — ; i debtedness for playgrounds The temporary loans provision, as it appears above in Section 6 (Chapter 29), is also changed by Section 4, Chapter 312, by omitting "and of the year next ensuing " so that at present cities and towns by ordinary tote can incur debts for temporary loans in anticipation of the taxes of the year only in which such debts are incurred. Temporary loans (for a term not exceeding one year) in anticipation of money to be derived from an issue of bonds or other form of indebtedness, duly authorized, are provided for by a sta'ute approved June 14, 1398. The same Act states that the time within which said bonds, etc., shall become due shall not be extended by reason of said tempor" ary loan. The foregoing statements cover all the material facts general in their In addition to application passed with respect to debt limitation. these General Provisions there are various Special Laws which contain exceptions to the general law as to debt limitation, which apply to Cambridge, Lynn, Newburyport, Waltham, Worcester, &c, &o. Boston was formerly subject to a special statute (Chapter 178 of the Laws of 1385) limiting its debt to 2 per cent, but this was repealed by Chapter 399 of the Acts of 1900, and that city is now subject to Chapter 312 of the Laws of 18^5 as above. ; SAVINGS BANK INVESTMENTS-POWERS AND RESTRICTIONS.— The provisions regulating the investments and loans of savings banks and institutions for savings in Massachusetts are contained in Bectlon 21, Chapter 317, acts of 1894, and amendments thereof.

The taxes assessed tax, 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 ten and one-half dollars, and in any other city twelve dollars, on every one thousand dollars of the average of the assessors' valuations of the taxable pi operty 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 or appropriation requiring a larger assessment than is herein limited shall be void. Section 2. Chapterone hundred and seventy-eight<f the Acts of the year eighteen hundred and eighty -five and Chapter two hundred and eighty one of the Acts of the year eighteen hundred and eighty-seven are hereby repealed. Section 3. This Act shall take effect upon its passage. [Approved : June 2b, 1000.] 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 per cent of the assessed valuation, etc etc. Boston consequently is now subject to Section 2, Chapter 312, Laws of 1885, which places the debt limitation at 2*2 per cent of the average assessors' valuations of thetaxable property for the preceding three years. Reference to this 1885 law will be found in the debt limitations for the State of Massachusetts. See also Chronicle of August 4, 1900, page 250. 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 1S91. the city is authorized to anticipate Its authority to borrow money within its debt limit for any current municipal year.

Waterman, CRANSTON.— Providence County. town * This 7, Chapter 36 (page 157) of the Revised Statutes of the State of 1896. Since 1878 these provisions have been in force, and consequently 3 per cent of the taxable property has been the limit of the power of each town (which 48, g, 4s, g, Includes city) to create debt. 4s Section 20. "The outstanding notes, bonds and contracts of towns shall be paid and be f ultilled according to the tenor thereof, and all public worgs now authorized to be prosecuted shall be prosecuted, and all indebtedness now authorized to be iuourred on account thereof may be incurred according to the tenor of the authority therefor. Section 21. No town shall, without special statutory authority therefor, incur any debt in excess of three per centum of the taxable property of such town, including the indebtedness of such town on the tenth day of April, one thousand eight hundred seventy-eight, but the giving of a new note or bond, for a pre-existing debt, or for money borrowed and applied to the payment of such pre-existing debt, Is excepted from the provisions of this section, and the amount of any sinking fund shall be deducted in computing such indebtedness." A proposed new constitution, containing certain limitations as to State and other debts, failed of adoption at the November election in 1898, was ag*ain submitted to popular vote in 1899 and again defeated. There was a Constitutional Amendment adopted in 1900, but it did not relate to municipal indebtedness SAVINGS BANK INVESTMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS.-In the Revised Statutes of Rhode Island (which were revised in 1896)Sections 54, 55, 56, etc., of Chapter 178, Title 19 (on page 548), will be found the provisions of law with reference to Savings Bank Investments. Section 54, which recites in detail the stocks, bonds, etc., these institutions are allowed to put their money in is as follows 8kction 54. Institutions for savings shall invest their receipts— (1) In public stocks or bonds of any State or of the United States, (2) Or in any bank stock, or in notes or bonds of any town or city, (3) Or in notes of any school district or tire district in any New Eng land State, (4) Or in such corporate stocks or bonds as they may deem safe and secure, Or they may discount notes, bonds or drafts of individuals or corporations, with two other responsible endorsers, sureties or guarantors. (6) Or the notes, bonds or dratts of individuals or corporations secured by the public notes, stocks or bonds of any State of the United States, or of any town or city or of any school district or tire district in any New England State, or by the stock or bonds of any corporation which may be deemed to be safe, or by mortgage on real estate. Concerning Sections 55 and 56, the tirst appears to give savings Institutions quite extensive powers as to making and keeping deposits (5) commercial banks. When so kept, however, they are to be kept " payable on demand whether drawing interest or not." The two sections are subjoined. 8ection 55.—-No such institution shall have an amount exceeding one-half of its receipts invested in notes, bonds or drafts of individuals or corporations, unless secured by some public notes, bonds or stocks as aforesaid, or by mortgage on real estate: but the preceding section shall not be so construed as to forbid any such institution from placing and holding on deposit in any bank such reasonable amount of their receipts as is customary and they may deem proper, payable on demand, whether drawing interest or not. Section 56.—No money shall be loaned by any institution for savings to any trustee, director or other officer of such institution. For the other provisions of the law as they now are we would reiei our readers to the Revised Statutes of 1896. In Cities, Counties and Towns IN STATE OF RHODE ISLAND. BRISTOL.— Geo. This town II.

The relation which the towns, cities and boroughs of this State bear to one another is peouliar, and requires a word of explanation. The is divided into eight counties, and these counties are made up of towns, numbering in the aggregate 167. The towns are the civil unit, and on the assessed valuation (which is called the " Grand List of each town ") is levied the tax for State purposes as well as the tax for town expenditures. Within the town is often situated a city or a borough, or both, all of which may at the same time have bonds outstanding. There are ten cities, each with one exception bearing the same name as the State town in which it lies. Of late several towns and cities whose limits were about Identical have been consolidated and the outstanding bonds of both town and city are reported together without distinction. This is the case with the city and town of Hartford, which previous to April, 1896, reported their debts separately. The oity and town of New London have been consolidated and also Bridgeport city and town. On December 7, 1897, city, town and school district or New Haven were likewise consolidated. The borough stands in about the same relation to the town as does the city. The grand list as determined for the town is used by both the city and the borough in levying taxes, the city, for instance, putting a its own on its share of the total grand list of the town. This tax additional to the town tax. In some instances the schools are in the charge of school districts, which also are empowered to issue bonds and to levy a tax, so that to cover the total tax paid by a city it is necessary to take into account the State, town, city and school district levies. In the statements which follow we give under one heading the town and city, wherever they bear the same name, for though distinct corporations, their debts are to a greater or less extent the debts of a single community. tax of Is AGGREGATE MUNICIPAL INDEBTEDNESS.

HISTORY OF DEBT.—The historical details of New York's State debt from 1817 to 1894 will be found in the State and City Supplement of April, 1894. page 41. During a period of eleven years ending in 1893 the State debt was paid at the average of $1,000,000 per year, and practically wiped out. At the November election in 1895 the proposition to issue bonds of the State to the amount of $9,000,000, for the purpose of enlarging and Improving the Erie Canal, the Champlain Canal, and the Oswego Canal, was submitted to the voters and carried. These bonds have all been Issued to date, but nearly $500,000 have been paid off from the proceeds of the tax levied for a sinking f una, leaving outstanding Oct. 1, 19ol, $8,500,660, which, with the $275,000 Comptroller's Certificates, $400,000 Adirondack Park Bonds and $900,000 Defense Bonds, a total of $10,075,660, constituted the State's indebtedness on Oft. 1, 1901. —Principal.

Limitation of legislative power to create debts. Sec. 4. Except the debts specified in sections two and three of this article, no debts shall be hereafter contracted by or on behalf of this State, unless such debt shall be authorized by a law, for some single work or object, to be distinctly specified therein and such law shall impose and provide for the collection of a direct annual tax to pay, and sufficient to pay, the interest on such debt as it falls due, and also to pay and discharge the principal of such debt within eighteen years from the time of the contracting thereof. No such law shall take effect until it shall, at a general election, have been submitted to the people, and have received a majority of all the votes oast for and against it at such election. On the final passage of such bill in either house of the Legislature, the question shall be taken by ayes and noes, to be duly entered on the journals thereof, and shall be: "Shall this bill pass, and ought the same of the people The Legislature to receive the sanction may at any time, after the approval of such law by the people, if no debt shall have been contracted in pursuand may at any time, by law, ance thereof, repeal the same forbid the contracting of any further debt or liability under such law but the tax imposed by such act, in proportion to the debt and liability which may have been contracted, in pursuance of such law, shall remain in force and be irrepealable, and be annually collected, until the proceeds thereof shall have made the provision hereinbefore specified to pay and discharge the interest and principal ,of such debt and liability.

DEBT LIMITATION— Cities, Counties. Towns and Villages.— Constitution of New York State puts a general and uniform limit to the power of all counties and cities of the State to contract and put out their obligations, leaving to the Legislature to fix the debt making power of villages and towns only. These provisions are found in Article 8, Section 10. We give that section in full. The separation into paragraphs and the figures in parenthesis which number and begin the paragraphs are our own, we having inserted them so thu t those who need to ref er.to or use any particular portion can the more readily find the part desired. With that exception we give Section 10 of Article 8 as it reads, preserving even the punctuation. (1) No county, city, town or village shall hereafter give any money or property, or loan its money or credit to or in aid of any individual, association or corporation, or become directly or indirectly the owner nor shall any of stock in, or bonds of, any association or corporation such county, city, town or village be allowed to incur any indebtedness except for county, city, town or village purposes. This section shall not prevent such county, city, town or village from making such provision for the aid or support of its poor as may be authorized by law. (2) No county or city shall be allowed to become indebted for any purpose or in any manner to an amount which, Including existing The Valuation. TotalEqualized Rateper Real Estate. Personal.

(4> This section shall not be construed to prevent the issuing of certificates of Indebtedness or revenue bonds issued in anticipation of the collection of taxes for amounts actually contained, or to be contained In the taxes for he year when such certificates or revenue bonds are Issued ami payable out of such taxes bonds (5) Nor shall this section be construed to prevent the issue of to provide for the supply of water but the terms of the bonds issued to provide the supply of water shall not exceed twenty years, and a sinking fund shall be created on the Issuing of the said bonds for their redemption, by raising annually a sum which will produce an amount equal to the sum of the principal and interest of said bonds at their maturity. . , (6) All certificates of indebtedness or revenue bonds issued in anticipation of the collection of taxes, which are not retired within five years after their date of issue, and bonds issued to provide for the supply of water, and any debt hereafter incurred by any portion or part of a city, if there shall be any such debt, shall be included in ascertaining the power of the citv to become otherwise indebted. (7) Whenever hereafter the boundaries of any city shall become the same as those of a county, the power of the county to become indebted shall cease, but the debt of the county at that time existing shall not be Included as part of the city debt. [At the November 1899 election an amendment to the Constitution was adopted changing this paragraph to read as follows: Whenever the boundaries of any city are the same af those of a county, or when any city shall inolude within its boundaries more than one county, the power of any county wholly included within such city to become indebted shall cease, but the debt of the county heretofore existing shall not, for the purposes of this section, be reckoned as a part of the city debt.] (8) The amount hereafter to be raised by tax for county or city purfwses, in any county containing a city of over one hundred thousand nhabitants, or any such city of this State, in addition to providing for the principal and interest of existing debt, shall not in the aggregate exceed in any one year two per centum of the assessed valuation of the real and personal estate of such county or city, to be ascertained as prescribed in this section in respect to county or city debt. By the terms of the foregoing section, Paragraph (1), every " County, Citv, Town or Village" is included in the prohibition against (1) loaning' "its money or credit," (2) in becoming "directly or indirectly the owner of stock in or bonds of any association or corporation," and (3) In Incurring "any indebtedness except for County, City, Town or Village purposes." Most of the other paragraphs include only Counties ; ; and Cities. „ . , According to Paragraph (6) It seems that "any debt hereafter Incurred by any portion or part of a city, if there shall be any such debt, shall be included In ascertaining the power of the city to become other wise indebted." We would also call special attention to Paragraph (7), declaring that amended in 1899] whenever the boundaries of any city may be the same as those of a county or when any city shall include within its boundaries more th*n one county, " the power of any county wholly included withm such city to become indebted shallcease, but the debt of the [as county heretofore existing shall not * * be reckoned as a part of the city debt." , . In May 1886 the New York Court of Appeals decided at the end of a litigation begun in July 1885 that the sinking fund was not apartot the city debt within the meaning of the above provision of the Constitution limiting the creation of debt to 10 per cent of the assessed valuation of the real estate. Towns and Villages are not limited in their debt-making power by the Constitution. Those municipalities will be govenned by general or special statutes. The 1895 Legislature passed an act " for the protection of bona fide purchasers and holders of coupon bonds and of municipal corporations against misfeasance, malfeasance or negligence of public officers." The full text of this law was published in the Chronicle of June 8, 1895. V. 60, p. 1023. EXEMPTION FROM TAXATION—There is one general New York statute with reference to exemption from taxation " for town, county, municipal or State purposes " of a class of bonds " issued by any village, city, town or county" in the 8tate, which seems to have a wider application than is generally known. As originally pas-sed in 1881 the exemption applied only to bonds issued to pay up or retire bonds "created to aid in the construction of any railroad." A new law was passed In " 1886 (Chapter 316) making the tax exemption apply to " new bonds Issued under the act to retire any of the then "present bonded indebtedness of anj village, city, town or county in this State." With reference " All new to such new bonds the third section of the act of 1886 says bonds Issued by any village, city, town or county in this State under the provisions of this act shall be exempt from taxation for town, oounty, municipal or State purposes until the period when they are made payable." In 1893 still another law was passed making the statute cover any bonded indebtedness. The law as it now stands will be found in editorial on page 4 of the April, 1894, Supplement. In addition to the foregoing there are special laws authorizing special Issues that are exempt, but which we have not room to quote here. For New York City there is a general statute which directs how any of That its bonds may be made exempt from city and county taxation. statute is subjoined. Sec. 137. The Commissioners of the " Sinking Fund of the City of New York for the redemption of the city debt," when duly authorized by ordinance of the Common Council, may, by concurrent resolution, direct that the bonds and stocks of said city, issued pursuant to law, after June ninth, eighteen hundred and eighty, shall he exempt from taxation by said city and by the county of New York, but not from taxa tion for State purposes; and all bonds and stocks issued pursuant to such authority shall be exempt from taxation accordingly, provided that said bonds and stocks shall not bear interest exceeding the rate of four and one-half per orituiM per annum. The bonds and stocks of the city of New York issued pursuant to the provisions of this section shall express upon their face the fact that they are exempt from taxation by the city and county of New York, but not from State taxation, and shall refer to this section, and to the ordinance of the Common Council, and the resolution of the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund authorizing their issue. : SAVINGS BANK INVESTMENTS-POWERS AND RESTRIC1898 the New York Legislature passed an amendment to TIONS— in paragraph 6, Sec. 116, of the Savings Bank law of 1892. The amendment extended investments of savings banks to first mortgage railroad bonds the principal part of whose railroad is located within this State, and In 1899 the field of railroad Investments was still further enlarged. In 1900 the Chicago A. Alton RR. was added to the list and other changes made In paragraph 6 Section 118 was amended in 1901 and is given below as it now stands.

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

(1) THE STATE la rest] to Its debt-making power by the State Constitution. In Article IV, Section VI, paragraphs 3 and 4, the whole subject N disposed of. The third paragraph forbids a loan of the State's credit, and the fourth paragraph forbids the creation of debt. TheHenrovisions are as follows. 3. The credit of the State shall not be directly or Indirectly loaned in any case. 4. The Leirislatnre shall not in any maimer create any debt or debts, Uabilityor liabilities of the State, which -hall singly or in the aggregate with any previous debts or liabilities at any time exceed one hundred thousand dollars, except for purposes of war, or to repel invasion, or to suppress insurrection, unless the same shall be authorized by a law for some single object of work, to be distinctly specified therein; which law -.hall provide the ways and means, exclusive of loans, to pay the -est of such debt or liability as it falls dne, and also to pay and discharge the principal of snch debt or liability within thirty-five years from the time of the contracting thereof, and shall be irrepealable until snch debt or liability and the intere-t thereon are fuily*ftaid ai:d discharged and no such law shall take effect until it shall, at a general election, have been submitted to the people, and have received the sanction of a majority of all the votes cast for and against it at such election and all money to be raised by the authority of such law shall be applied only to the specific object stated therein, and to the payment of the debt thereby created. This section shall not be construed to refer to any money that has been, or may be, deposited with this State by the fiovernineiit of the United States. ; : fied therein, etc. ; be seen, given in the i is, as will (2) CITIES, COUNTIES, TOWNS, Etc., are also restricted in thj of oertain kinds of debt by Article I, paragraphs 19 and 20, o*the Constitution. We give the paragraph in full. 19. No county, city, borough, town, township or village shall hereafter give any money or property, or loan its money or credit, to or in aid of any individual, association or corporation, or become security for or be directly or indirectly the owner of any stock or bonds of any association or corporation. 20. No donation of land or appropriation of money shall be made by the State or any municipal corporation to or for the use of any society, association or corporation whatever. It will be noted that the above prohibition relates to the giving of money, property or oredit of cities, &o., to individuals, associations, or corporations, &c, and that the prohibition is absolute, forbidding the doing of such acts in any form, shape or manner. There is one other restriction of the State Constitution, and that is found in Article IV. Section VII., paragraph 11, which forbids the Legislature passing any spec ial laws "regulating the internal affairs of towns and coutuie$"; in this and in all other cases in which according to the judgment ox the Legislature general laws are feasible, the Constitution states that making geueral laws must be provided. In compliance with this last provision the Legislature has passed many general laws covering bonded indebtedness of cities, towns, etc. They are so numerous they cannot be cited here. We would refer the reader to the Revised Statutes of New Jersey published in 1896 under the heading "Municipal Bonds" pages 693 to 716 both inclusive; and also to the same heading ("Municipal Bonds") pages 2220, etc. TAX EXEMPTION.— The State of New Jersey passed in 189* a general statute which exempts from taxation the bonds, securities and other evidences of indebtedness of munioipal corporations the provision covers not only the bonds, etc., to be hereafter issued, but those as well that have been heretofore issued. It is a sweeping statute, and one which is of decided interest to the holders of the municipal securities of the State. The full text of it may be found in the Statu and City Supplement for October, 1898, page 58.

Since then the legislative tendenoy in the matter of investments has been in the direction of allowing the management of these institutions a wider choice and a larger discretion. In 1878 the limits of the 1876 law were broadened in several particulars by a new act of two sections, the first taking the place of section 26 of the act of 1876. In 1886 still another law was passed in place of the first section of the law of 1878. Again in 1889 an act was passed extending materially the provisions of section two of the law of 1878, which covered the same subject matter contained in section 29 of the original law of 1876, and thereby section 26 of the law of 1876 was superseded by the law of 1886, and section 29 was superseded by the law of 1889. In 1901 Section two was further amended in the way specified below. In 1896 a supplement approved March 30, 1896 (Chapter 139, laws of 1896) to the law of 1876, making school district bonds an authorized investment, went into effect. In 1897 an act was passed (approved April 9) authorizing investments in bonds issued by commissioners appointed by the Supreme Court of the State. In 1899 a further supplement extending the permissible line of municipal investments so as to include the bonds of townships and boroughs was approved March 24. An attempt to add such securities to the list was made In 1898, but the measure then failed to receive the approval of the Gov- of Original Thirteen and there Nov. Nov. Nov. Nov.

It shall be lawful for any savings bank in this State to invest its funds in the bonds of any city, county, town or township of this State issued pursuant to the authority of any law of this state, or in the bonds of any borough or village or school district of this State issued pursuant to the authority of any law of this State; provided, such borough, village or school district shall not, within the tea years next preceding, have defaulted in the payment of any part of either principal or interest of any legal debt or obligation thereof and provided further, that the total indebtedness of any such borough or village does not exceed ten per centum of its assessed valuation, and such school district bonds are by law charged upon all the property of the inhabitants of such district, or in any interest-bearing obligatioa (other than obligations commonly known as improvement certificates) issued by the city, county, town, township, borough or village ia which such bank or institution is situated. The following is the law of 1897 (approved April 9, 1897): "8ec. 1. It shall be lawful for any bank, trust company, savings bank or savings institution * * * incorporated under the laws of this State, to invest moneys belonging to or deposited with any such companies in any bonds authorized by the laws of this State to be issued by any commission appointed by the Supreme Court of this State by virtue of any law of this State."

We do not reprint the real estate provisions, as they cover a matter to our present subject. It is sufficient to say that they are two in number, marked (a) and (bj, and may bo summarized as below faj authorizes the holding of a plot for erection of a banking building or buildings, portions of which may be rented, but the cost of lot and bnlldlngs must not exceed 50% of the net surplus of the corporation: fbj all purchases under foreclosure sales upon mortgages owned by the corporation or sales under judgments or decrees obtained for debts due, etc.: and all such real estate must be sold within five years unless, on application to the State Board having supervision of Savings Banks, time shall be extended. But the character of permissible investments was further greatly enlarged by the law of 1886, which is as follows Section 1. That it shall be lawful for any savings bank or savings institution, incorporated under any law of this State, to invest moneys deposited with it in the bonds of any city or county of any State of the Unitea States of America, which have been or may be issued pursuant to the authority of any law of any such State; provided, no such city or county has, within ton years previous to making such investment by any siioh savings bank or savings institution of this State, defaulted in the payment of any part- of either principal or interest of any debt authorized by law of such State to be contracted; and provided, further, that the" total indebtedness of any such city or county is limited by law to ten percentum of its assessed valuation. By anotber act the banks also have the right to invest in railroad ionds under certain restrictions. The authorization was given by Section 2 of an act approved February 22, 1888. Subsequently (April 27, 1838,) this Section 2 was repealed. On March 27, 1889, however, The section is as follows It was again re-enacted. Section 2. That it shall be lawful for any savings bank in this State to invest its funds in first mortgage bonds of any railroad company which has paid dividends of not less than four per centum per annum regularly, on their entire capital stock, for a period of not less than live years next previous to the purchase of such bonds, or in any consolidated mortgage bonds of any such company authorized to be issued to retire the entire bonded debt of such company. The other law referred to above passed in 1889 amending section 2 of the law of 1878 is as below. It relates to loans on collaterals. As noted above, a slight but very important alteration in the phraseology of thi-* section was made by a law approved March 22, 1901, and whi -h forms chapter 148 of the laws of 1901. The new words introduced are indicated by brackets [ ] below. Section 2. Hereafter it shall not be lawful for any saving institution in this State to loan the money on deposit with the same, or any part thereof, upon notes, bills of exchange or drafts, excepting upon the additional pledge of collateral security or securities, which collateral security or securities shall be of the same nature and character as those in which the money deposited may be invested as directed in the Erst section of this Act, or the capital stocks of national and State banks, or [the capital stock or bonds of] other corporations of this State, which nave not defaulted in the payment of interest [or] dividends within two years next preceding the time of such loan, and then only to the extent of eighty per centum of the market value of such collaterals: provided, that the total amount of such loans shall not exceed fifteen per centum of the total deposits held by such institution. In addition to tbe foregoing (according to section 27 of the general law of 1876) the managers can keep on hand or on deposit in any bank tn the State, or in any trust or safe deposit company in New Jersey, New York or Pennsylvania, an available fund of not exceeding ten per cent of the whole amount of deposits with such corporation, or loan the same on pledge of the securities named in the first section cited above. Also (according to section 28 of the general law of 1876) they can deposit temporarily in banks the excess of daily receipts over payments until such time as they may be judiciously Invested. not germane ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS.— John Cities, Counties and Towns the in STATE OF NEW Note.— For places not given in alphabetical order among rtaltments, see "Additional Statements" ASBURYMonmouth PARK This eity at the FRANK WM.

Jersey City formerly suffered greatly from difficulty in collecting taxes and assessments. Under the Martin Act, however, passed some years ago by the Legislature, arrears of taxes are made liens on the property, and if not paid within three years the property can be sold to satisfy them. The city has also succeeded in adjusting the taxes with the railroads, and the latter now pay into the treasury about $225,000 annually. On Feb. 13, 1900, the citizens authorized the purchase of a water plant (now building) for the sum of $7,595,000. V. 70, p. 344. No bonds have yet been issued for this purpose.

DEBT LIMITATION— In Pennsylvania the limit to the indebtedness of the State, and to the indebtedness of the cities and minor civil orsanizations in the State, is fixed by the State Constitution. 1. State indebtedness. With regard to the State, the regulations controlling and governing debt creation, payment, &c, are found In Sectioni I, 5, 6, 11, 12, 13 and 14 of Article IX of the Constitution, and are as follows. AasiOU IX, Sec. 4. No debt shall be ereated by, or on behalf of, the 8tate except to supply casual deficiencies of revenue, repel invasions, suppress insurrection, defend the State in war, or to pay existing debt; and the debt created to supply deficiencies in revenue shall never exceed, in the aggregate at any one time, one million of dollars. Section 5. All laws authorizing the borrowing of money by, and on behalf of, the State -hall Bpectfy the purpose for which the money is to be used, and the money so borrowed shall be used for the purpose speci- — fied and no other. The credit of the Commonwealth shall not be pledged or loaned to any individual, company, corporation or association, nor shall the Commonwealth become a Joint-owner or stockholder in any Section' 6. company, association or corporation. Section 1. To provide for the payment of the present State debt, and any additional debt contracted as aforesaid, the General Assembly D continue, and maintain the. sinking fund sufficient to pay the accruing interest on such debt, and annually to reduce the principal thereof by a sum nor less than two hundred and fifty thousand dollars; 1 the said sinking fund shall consist of the proceeds Of the sales of the public works, or an\ (rait thereof, and of the income or proceeds of the sale of any stocks owned bj the Commonwealth, together with other funds and resource* thai may be designated by law, and shall be Incre as ed from ttane to time by assigning to it any part or the taxes or other revenue of the State not required for the ordinary and current expenses of government, and unless in case of war, invasion or Insurrection, no part of the said sinking fund shall be used or applied otherwise than in the extinguishment of the public debt. The moneys of the State, over and above the necessary reserve, shall be used in the paymeni i>t the debt of the State, either directly orthrough the sinking fund, and the moneys of the sinking fund shall never be Invested in or loaned upon the security of anything except the bonds of the. United States or oi this State. tion 18. The moneys held at necessary reserve shaU be. limited by law to the amount required tor current expenses, and shall be Head kept as may be provided by law. Monthly statements shall •bed, showing the amount or sueh moneys, where the same are d, and ho.', -eeured. cnoH 14. The making of profit out of toe public moneys, or using the same for any purpose not authorized by law, by any officer of the te, or member or officer of the General Assembly, shall be a misdemeanor, and shall be punished as may be provided by law; but part of 8U?fi£M£NT. Vol. Lxxir such punishment shall be disqualification to hold office for a period of not less than ti\ e years. State loans in Pennsylvania, whether created for original indebtedness or authorized to fund existing indebtedness, are usually negotiated through the Governor and Commissioners of the sinking fund. The last act of the Pennsylvania Legislature authorizing a public loan was the act of June 8, 1881, when a thirty-year loan was effected to fund existing indebtedness at a lower rate of interest. The earliest date at which the last of the existing indebtedness of Pennsylvania will mature is February 1, 1912, and under existing araugements the accumulations in the sinking fund will at that time pay the total State indebtedness. and Municipal Indebtedness.—Under the laws of (2) County Pennsylvania the power to create county loans is in the Board of County Commissioners, which consists in each countv of three persons, elected tri-ennially under the minority system of voting, by which the minority party in each County usually has one member of the Board. In cities and boroughs the power to create indebtedness is vested in oouncils, municipal debts being created by ordinance. The creation of county, city and other municipal indebtedness is subject to the following constitutional limitations. Article IX, Sec. 7. The General Assembly shall not authorize any county, city, borough, township or incorporated district to become a stockholder in any company, association or corporation, or to obtain or appropriate money for, or to loan its credit to, any corporation, association, institution or individual. Section 8. The debt of any county, city, borough, township, school municipality or incorporated district, except as herein provided, shall never exceed seven per centum upon the assessed value of the taxable property therein, nor shall any suoh municipality or district incur any new debt, or increase its indebtedness to an amount exceeding two per centum upon such assessed valuation of property, without the assent of the electors thereof at a public election in such manner as shall be provided by law but any city the debt of which now exceeds seven per centum of such assessed valuation may be authorized by law to increase the same three per centum, in the aggregate at any one time, upon such valuation. Section 9. The Commonwealth shall not assume the debt, or any part thereof, of any city, county, borough or township, unless such debt shall have been contracted to enable the State to repeal invasion, suppress domestio insurrection, defend itself in time of war, or to assist the State in the discharge of any portion of its present indebteddistrict, or other ; ness. 8ection 10. Any county, township, school district or other municipality incurring any indebtedness shall, at or before the time of so doing, provide for the collection of an annual tax sufficient to pay the interest, and also the principal thereof within thirty years. (3) Townships and School Districts.— In the various school districts of the State the school directors have the power to create loans, sub10 above quoted, to provide for the redemption of the same within thirty years. In townships, the only authority, except that of the school directors to borrow money, is in the road supervisors, who have no power to create bonded Indebtedness, but simply to make a temporary loan for necessary expenses, which must be provided for by an assessment of sufficient township tax rate, known as road tax. POPULATION OF STATE.—The population of Pennsylvania has been reported as follows in the years named 1900... 6,302,115 1860 2,906,215 1820 1,047,507 1890 5,258,014 1850 2,311,786 1810 810.091 1880 1,724,033 1800 602,365 4,282,891 1840 1870 3,521,951 1830 1,348,233 1790 434,373 Jeot to the limitations of Section I I | | , 1 I | 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 still exists, bearing the same name. Originally the bank was not incorporated, but was a voluntary organization, suoh societies in Great Britain being at that time of a like character. The date of the organization was November 27, 1816, and the bank was opened for business December 2, 1816. Mr. Hutchinson, who, now holds the office, of President, states that the oldest ledger of the company goes back to the time of opening, and shows a deposit on that day (December 2, 1816) of five dollars. The company was not incorporated until February 25, 1819. It is surprising that Pennsylvania, although engaged in such an early venture in the department of savings institutions, should have made so little progress in the same department since. Indeed, the second organization does not bear date until 1847, and we think there had only been 10 mutual savings institutions organized in the whole State from 1816 down to the early part of 1890. We may assume, however, that this slow development was in no measure due to a lack of desire for savings banks on the part of the people of that common" That such institutions were sought and needed is wealth. sufficiently evident from the fact that nine of the ten companies referred to above reported in 1890 that they held $63,957,841 of deposits. In 1889 a general law, facilitating the incorporation of savings banks, was passed by the Legislature. Since then there has been a small addition to the number of institutions, the total doing business in the State In November, 1900. being 17, with deposits aggregating $107,621,381 19. The provisions of the special charters are all liberal as to investments. A law passed in 1885, and a supplement of the same passed in 1889, authorizing the extension for twenty years of special charters, contains the following. "Provided also, that no * * * Savings Institution or Savings Bank having no capital stock, renewing or extending its charter. corporate iirhts and franchises, under the provisions of this act, shall thereafter be allowed the privileges of a bank of discount, nor be allowed to loan any money received on deposit, except first, mortgage or lien upon real estate within this commonwealth, upon the bonds or securities of the United States or of this State, or upon county, city, borough, township or school bonus of any county, city, borough, townhip or school di-t net, within this commonwealth, or any other good 1 and valid seeurlHet." Authority to loan on any " good and valid security "appears to confer about as broad a discretion upon the managers as could be expressed in a statute. — — until 1889, as already stated, that a general law faciliThat tating the organization of savintrs institutions was passed. law of 1689 is Indeed well adapted not only tor facilitating, but for Its influence In the latter stimulating, the growth of the system. direction would seem to be assured under the liberality of the provisions respecting Investments. The following is section 17, which It contains the investment limitations; we would especially direot attention to subdivision four of this section: EJECTION 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. Commonwealth In the stocks or bonds of the 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 oity, county, town or village of any State of the United States, issued pursuant to the authority or any law of the State, or in any interest-bearing obligations issued by the city or county in which such bank shall be situated. In bonds and mortgages on unincumbered, improved real estate, situated in this State. be noted that according to the foregoing (sub-division Pennsylvania savings banks are allowed to invest their deposits in the bonds and stocks of any city, county town or village in any of the United States. Furthermore, by the fifth subdivision 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 judloIt will four), named above. lously invested in the securities IN THE STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA.

No general limit for cities and towns has been fixed by the Legislature, nor is there any general authorization to be found in the statutes under which cities and towne oan issue bonds. This power is lodged in the Legislature, and is delegated to the municipalities from time to time for specific purposes as the occasion may arise. It is necessary, therefore, for the investor to study the law in each case on this as well as on other points affecting the loan with respect to which he may need information.

I SAVINGS BANKS INVESTMENTS.-There are in eral banking laws under which savings banks maybe this State gen- organized, and yet we notice that even In 1890 a special charter was granted incorporating the Germania Savings Bank of Baltimore. However, in both the general and special laws there appears to be a pretty general authority granted for investing the deposits. The general law states that Any savings institution incorporated under this article shall be capable of receiving from any person or persons, or bodies corporate or politic, any deposit of money which shall be invested or loaned out on 1lood security in the discretion of the directors; provided that no part of tlhe funds of said corporation shall be loaned to any officer or director of such corporation. In the special law passed in 1890, which we have referred to above, the power to loan the deposits is made a little more definite. The section referring to that subject states that the " corporation shall have " power to borrow money, receive money on deposit, loan money taking such security therefor, either real or personal, as the Board of Directors may deem sufficient; provided that no part of the funds of " said corporation shall be loaned to an officer or director thereof." We cannot discover any marked difference in the two provisions cited, except that the enactment in the case of the new Baltimore bank states distinctly that the security can be either real or personal. But as much as that would, we think, be assumed as authorized under the general provision, since no limit is made and loaning on bond and mortgage Is always a legitimate part of the business of savings banks.

Section 1 limits the power to the supply of " casual deficits in revenues or to meet expenses not otherwise provided for," but in the aggregate debts for even the purposes named cannot exceed $750,000. Section 2 contains an exception to the foregoing it grants the power to contract debt in case of invasion, of insurrection, of war or of the redemption of the then existing indebtedness. Section 3 reaffirms the limit, except as above specified. Section l forbids the loaning of the State credit. Section 5 further forbids the assumption of debts by States. We insert these five sections in full. Section 1. [Debt limited to seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars]. The State may contract debts to supply casual' deficits or failures in first five ; 30, 1802) Total area of State (square miles) State Capital Governor (term exp. 2d Mon.

Section 2. [Additional and for what purpose.] In addition to the above limited power the State may contract debts to repel invasion, suppress insurrection, defend the State in war, or to redeem the present outstanding indebtedness of the State; but the money arising from the contracting of such debts shall be applied to the purpose for which it was raised, or to re-pay such debts, and to no other purpose whatever, and all debts incurred to redeem the present outstanding indebtedness of the State shall be so contracted as to be payable by the sinking fund hereinafter provided for as the same shall "accumulate^ Section 3. [The State to create no other debt.] Except the debts above specified in Sections 1 and 2 of this article, no debt whatever shall hereafter be created by or on behalf of the State. Section 4. [Orcdit of State: the State shall not become Joint owner or stockholder.] The credit of the State shall not in any manner be given or loaned to or in aid of any individual association or corporation whatever: nor shall the State ever hereafter become a Joint owner or stockholder in any company or association in this State or elsewhere formed for any purpose whatever. Sections. [No assumption of debts by the State.] The State shall never assume the debts of any county, city, town or township, or of any corporation whatever, unless such debt shall have been created to repel invasion, suppress insurrection or defend the State in war. The foregoing sections complete the limitation as to State debt and credit. Sections 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 of Article 8 cover the matter of sinking funds referred to in Section 2 above. But they need not be published here. SECOND, As to Cities, Towns, Counties, die, so far as the Constitution affects the power of the Legislature to authorize these municipalities to create debt, the limitations are found in section 6 of article Section 6 of 8 and in sections 1, 2 and 6 of article 13. (1) Assembly to authorize cities, article forbids the General 8 money or loan <Vc, to become stockholders in or to raise credit to aid corporations. <fcc. (2) Sections 1 and 2 of article 13 forbid the passing pf special acts and require general acts for conferring corporate powers. (3) Section 6 of article 13 provides that the General Assembly make provision for the organization of cities, &io., by general laws and restrict their debt-making power. These sections are as follows: Article 8, Section 6. [Counties, cities, towns or townships not author ized to become stockholders. &c] The General Assembly shall never authorise any county, city, town or township, by vote of its citizens or otherwise, to become a stockholderiu any joint stock company, corporation or association whatever; or to raise money for, or loan its credit to, or in aid of, any such company, corporation or association. Akticle 13, Section 1. [Corporate powers]. The General Assembly shall pass no special act conferring corporate powers. .Section 2. [Corporations how formed]. Corporations may be formed Under general laws but all such laws may from time to time be altered ; or repealed. tion 6, [Organization of cities, die] The General Assembly shall provide tor the organization of cities and Incorporated villages by general laws and restrict their power of taxation, assessment, borrowing money, contracting debts and loaning their credit, so as to prevent the abuse of such power. One at first sight would infer from section 6 article 8 above cited that cities could not subscribe to the stock of or loan money to railroads, as railroads are corporations and joint-stock companies. That, however, is not a correct conclusion, as was decided In the case of Walkers*. The City of Cincinnati, a case whioh arose under an act of the General Assembly of Ohio entitled " An Act relating to cities of the first class," authorizing any such city to construct a line of railroad therefrom to any other terminus In that State or in any other State. In pursuance of the authority that act purports to give, Cincinnati undertook to build the Cincinnati Southern Railroad. To test the legality Of that proceeding this action was brought. The Court's opinion is very full and explicit, the conclusion being that from " the language 'ill the section It is quite evident that it was nut intended to prohibit I'the construction of railroads nor indeed to prohibit any species of • R M - : 79 0-HJO— CITIES October, 1901. The section contains no direct reference to "railroads nor to anv other special classes ol Improvements or enter " prises The Inhibitions are directed only against a particular manner « or means by which under the Constitution ol L802 many public im" pro vements had been sooomplished." In compliance with section (>, article L3 (cited above), which provides tor the organization of cities etc. i>y general law, the Legislature has mmle an elaborate olassitioation or municipal corporations. First they are divided Into cities, villages and hamlets. Then cities are divided into two classes, the tirst class being subdivided into three grades and the second olass being subdivided into tour grades, the grade being determined bv population according to the last Federal Census. Cities In the FIRST Class— First grade includes all cities of more than 200 000 inhabitants; second grade all less than 200,000 and more than 90,000 inhabitants; third grade all less than 90,000 and more than 31,. dOO Inhabitants. , , M „ Cities in tlie Second Class—First grade includes all cities or less than 31 ">oo and more than 30,500 inhabitants second grade all loss than 30500 and more than 20,000 inhabitants; third grade all less than than go',000 and more than 10,000 inhabitants; fourth grade all less lo!o00 and more than 5,000 inhabitants. less than 5,000 and Villagks— Or the first olass include ail having more than 3,000 inhabitants; the second class includes ail having less than 3,000 and more than 200 inhabitants. Revised Statutes all exII vMi.KTs— According to section 1550 of the isting corporations organized as "incorporated villages for special •purposes shall be hamlets until advanced to villages." generalization with regard It is impossible to make any satisfactory to the bonding power the Legislature has granted these municipalities. There are a few sections of the Revised Statutes authorizing bond Issues which have a universal application, such as the provision (ranting power to issue bonds in anticipation of special assessments, but most of the laws for that purpose cover only one class of cities, and mauv ot theiu are so worded as to apply ouly to one city, and granting an issue of bonds tor a specific purpose. No general laws limiting the powers or municipalities to incur indebtedness have been passed, although section 6, article 13. appears to require it. And yet is it not a question whether that section calls for any legislation of a general nature except a general law "for the organization of cities, &c."

J * Cincinnati is situated in County. In 1895 the villages of Avondale, Clifton, Linwood, Riversid* and Westwood were annexed to Cincinnati and their indebtedness was assumed by that city. The Legislature of 1900 parsed a bill providing for th>* annexation of a number of surrounding villages, subject to a vote of the places affected. The annexation project proceeded so far that the Board of Legislation had passed an ordinanoe providing for an election in the territory affected, but later this ordinanoe was repealed (V. 71, p IO6O1 and the matter has sinoe beenjin abeyance The city Sinking Fund Trustees entered into an agreement with a New York firm In 1898 looking to the refunding of the Cincinnati Southern Railway bonds. This agreement was set aside by Judge Hpiegel on Aug. 18, 1898, and upon appeal the State Supreme Court affirmed that riding. V. 67, p. 1 89 and 442; V. 68. p. 1143. The U. S. Dintrict Court also deolared the contract void .V. 71, p. 928) and this decision has been sustained by the U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The Board of Trustees of the Cin. So. Ry. has also twice advertised for proposals to refund these bonds, first on Dec. 20, 1898 (V. 67, p. 1122), when all bids were rejected. They again called for proposals July 19, 1899 (V. 68, p. 1236), but only a small portion had been offered for extension when litigation again blocked further refunding operations. This suit was dismissed on Sept. 7, 1-99. by Judge Davis, of the Common Pleas Court, and the decision was approved by the Suprema court on appeal June 19, 1> 00. By agreement made in March, 1900, between the two boards the Board of Trustees had until July, 1H01, to extend time of payment of these bonds, and If refunding was not accomplished by that time the sinking Fund Trustees were to undertake the operatiou.— V. 70, p. 495. The Board of Trustees, however, has notified the Sinking Fund Commissioners that they »ill make no further effort to extend these bonds, and the securities will therefore be taken care of by the Sinking Fund Trustees, who will issue consolidated sinking fund bonds to provide the means for their redemption.
