1899.
A few years ago (State and City Supplement of
October 1896 and April 1897) we made quite an extensive investigation into the methods in vogue for
disposing of municipal bonds and receiving bids for
the same. We showed wherein these methods were
defective, and pointed out some of the changes that
appeared called for in the interest of issuer and bidder alike. For one thing, it seemed desirable that
the practice then growing up of exacting a cash deposit, either in the shape of money or a certified
check, as a condition precedent to the receipt of bids,
should be encouraged. In various other particulars
there was call for amendment and improvement in
making the bids clear and unequivocal, in having a
form not capable of being misconstrued or misunderstood, and in presenting the terms and conditions as
to both bond and proposal with fullness and exactness.
In the time that has elapsed since then, there has
been progress in all the directions here indicated.
And the improvements have been mainly in the line
suggested by us. The changes that have occurred or
are in progress may be grouped under three heads.
(1) The requirement of a deposit or money forfeit as
a guaranty of good faith and to ensure performance
of the contract is now met with in the vast majority
of cases, instances where this provision is not inserted
forming exceptions which prove the rule. (2) There
is a growing disposition in favor of requiring bids to
be made on official forms or blanks. (3) More and
more there is a determination to insist that proposals
must be absolutely free from all conditions, many
issuers of bonds going so far as to bar out proposals
made contingent upon the bonds being declared legal
by counsel. That is, it is required that the intend-

ing purchaiSer shall satisfy himself of the legality of
the issue before patting in an offer; in other words,
that a proviso in the bid making acceptance of the
bonds conditioned upon their being found in accord
with legal requirements shall vitiate the bid and result

The expediency
of
this last
proviso we purpose considering in this article.
The incorporation in a pronosal of reference to the
legality of the bonds will to most persons appear rather
superfluous.
Obviously bids are always predicated
upon the idea that the municipality has created an
obligation in every way free from legal defects. Manifestly the bidder is not bargaining for an imperfect
or defective security.
If the issuer has not a valid
obligation to offer, it is unable to fulfill its part of the
contract, and as a necessary consequence it can not
hold the bidder to his end of the contract or force him
to take bonds which it either had no right to put out
IIenc,e, as far
or which it had spoiled in the making.

" FUNDED LOAN OF 1 907 " (Column 2) 4 per cents. The act of July 14, 1870, authorized the issue of 1,000 million dollars of bonds at 4

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

" REFUNDING CERTIFICATES" (Column 3).— 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 per cent, and
convertible at any time, with accrued interest, into the 4 per cent bonds described in the Refunding act; the money so received to be applied
only to the payment or the bonds bearing interest at a rate not less than 5 per cent. On March 12 1879 the issue of these certificates and their
exchanue into 4 per cent bonds were authorized; the certittoates were to draw 4 per cent interest from April 1 1879 and were converti i.e in
enms of $50 or its multiples. The amount IsKued at the close of the fiscal year (June 30 1879) was $39,308,110, but they had been converted
90 rapidly that there were outstanding at that date only $12,848,210. On October 31 1879 the entire authorization had been reached, the
maximum amount of the issue being $40,012,750. Of these there were still outstanding on October 1 1899 a total of $37,580
"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 uot less than par in coin, either of the de.scriptionB
of b<»nd.s 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 ottice of the Assistant Treasurer of the United States at New York, the outstanding legal-tender notes when presented in siuns of not lesB
than fifty dollars. Under this authorization, and for the purpose mentioned, there were issued in Febi'uary, 1894, payable in 10 years, $50,000,000 of 5 per cents and in November 1894 there were issued $50,000,000 more for similar bonds for the same purpose. There are now outstanding $100,000,000.
" LOAN OF 1925."— (Column 5.) Sales of bonds included under this designation were eflfeoted (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 (i)ublished in
the Chronicle February 9 1895, page 244), President Cleveland stated that "in pursuance of Section 3700 of the Revised Statues the details
of an arrangement have this day been concluded whereby bonds of the United States authorized under the act of July 14 1875, payable in coin
thirty uearx after their date, with Interest at the rate of 4 per cent per annum, to the amount of a little less than .$62,400,000, 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, whiuu
Bum 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 preml)im is to be allowed to the Government upon the bonds as to fix the rate of interest upon the amount of gold realized at '.i'-h per cent per
annum. At least one-lialf of the gold to be obtained Is to be supplied from abroad." Section 3700 of the Revised Statutes is as fo lows
"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 suob
fAtes and upon such terms as he may deem most advantageous to the pul)lic interest."
For a construction of the "Refunding Act of 1870" and of the " Resumption Act of 1875," see Chrovicle, February 18 1893, page 265.
The Issue In February 1890 was an ordinary offering, open to all l)idders, of $100,000,000 01" the same bonds as the foregoiiK— same in
date, riame In time of maturity, same in rate of interest and time of interest payments. Consequently botli issues are called the "Loan of 1925,'
of which there are outstanding $162,315,400.
" TEN-TWENTIES OF 1898."— (Column7.) "Die bonds Included under this head are an Issue of $200,000,0003 per cents. They were

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 witli
1876. as that year antedates all of tlie issues now outstanding, and yet carries the record sufficiently far back to show the
nature and extent of tlie Government securities when the latest refunding operations began. It has the advantage, too, of
giving separate and distinct each issue of bonds now outstanding. The statement is subjoined.

of October 1, for which the total is of that date, and is exclusive of interest charge on Pacific Railway bonds.
Note 2.— The figures for July 1 1879 were made up assuming pending funding operations to have been completed.
Pacific Railroad Debt.— Two other classes of bonded debt must be referred to which have never been included in the
Government debt— we mean the Pacific Railroad debt and the Cherokee certificates of indebtedness. To show the
situation of these two classes of bonds we have to make compilations of our own, as the Treasury form comes short of
indicating the existing situation. First 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.

DEBT LIMITATION.—There la no restriction in the Constitution
of New Hampshire upon the debt-making power of the people through
the " General Court," except the following, which is the last clause of
Article 5 of Part Second of that instrument.
Provided, That the General Court shall not authorize any town to
loan or give its money or credit directly or indirectly for the benefit of
any corporation having for its object a dividend of profits or in any
way aid the same by taking its stocks or bonds.
The above is an amendment to the Constitution, which was ratified in
1877. The amendment would appear to be intended as a complete
estoppel to municipal loaning of money or credit to railroad and industrial corporations. It is to be noticed, however, that by its terms the
restriction does not specifically mention "cities," the words being
*
" any town."
In addition to the foregoing is the " Municipal Bond Act of 1895."
It tells in the matter of issuing bonds what a municipal corporation
may do, what it must do, and what it cannot do. The law enacts: -Sec.
1. The term "municipal corporation " means town, city, school dis-

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.
Sec. 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 ii properly called, <fec. (for which
see act). Bonds must be signed by a majority of the Governing Board,
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-tnirds 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

out in act— which see. In case bond be made subject to call they must
contain statement to that ettect as given in act. "The validity of any
bonds shall not be attected by any variation from the forms herein
prescribed."
Sec. 6. Treasurer to keep a book in which he shall

PORTSMOUTH.— Geo. D.
Marct,
City Clerk.
This city 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. This stock is
now worth considerable more than its face value, and the city has
been selling it and applying the proceeds to the payment of the railroad
bonds. When all these bonds shall have been paid the city will still
have on hand a considerable balance from the sale of the stock.

The tax rate for 1899 was $200 per $1 ,000, which includes State school
and State highway taxes of 50 cents each per $1,000, collected
and re-distributed to towns on a basis of the number of schools and
road mileage.
DEBT LIMITATIONS.—Tliere appears to be nothing in the Constitution or in the Statutes of Vermont providing a general limit to the
debt-making power of municipalities. Whatever in 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. 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 takirnr capital stock therein, or iu such other luanuer as it directsbut the liability so assumed shall not exceed eight times the grand list
of the town at the time. Such aid shall bo given in the way provided
in this chaiiter.
It wiU be noticed that this section contains a limit to the power
granted of making subscriptions iu 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

In aid of railroads, are other sections describing the method in which
these subscriptions must be made, by calling a town meeting, voting,
Ac., (fee. Tlien follows Section 2766, authorizing the issue of bonds.
Bection 2766. SiK'h 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 outBtanding bonds and notes. The Sections which grant this i)owcr are
Sections 2769, 2775 and 2776, Chapter 132 of the Revised Statutes,
Sections 2769 and 2776 are as follows:
Section 2769. A town wliich has outstanding and unpaid negotiable
notes or bonds, issued to paj- for stoelc sul)scribed to a r.ailroad company, under any act of the general assembly, may issue other negotiable notes or bonds to pay or retire such outstanding notes or bonds.
Section 2,775. A town having outstanding and unpaid orders, notesbonds or coupons, issued under any act of the Legislature, for the purpose of the erection of public buildings, or in alJ. '•f pubUc improve,
mentsi, or for the payment of soldiers' bounties, may issue other
negotiable notes or bonds for the purpose of retiring the outstanding
orders, notes, l)ouds and coupons, in the same manner that it may issue
new notes or bonds to pay or retire outstanding notes or bonds issued
In aid of a railroad; and the powers, restrictions, duties and liabilities
of the town and town otticers in the matter shall bo the same as is
provided by law in the case of the refunding by a town of town bonds
issued in aid of a railroad; and the interest on such new notes or bonds
shall bo provided for in the same manner.
By Section 2776 municipal corporations other than towns have the
same refumling 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.
Section 2751. Towns in town meetings may vote such sums of
money as they judge necessary for the support of the poor for laying
out and repairing highways; for the prosecution and defense of the
«}ommon rights and interests of the inhabitants, and for other necessary
incidental town exi)enses.
POPULATION OF ST ATE. —According to the first census (1790) the
population of Vermont was 85,425, of which 44,756 were males, 40,39S
were females and 271 free colored. The total in 1800 was 154,465.

SAVINGS BANKS INVESTMENTS-PRIVILEGES AND RESTRICTIONS.—The provisions of law relating to savings banks are
in Chapter 174 of the Vermont statutes. Sections 4066 to 4131
inclusive, as amended from time to time. The first section having reference to investments is Section 4096, which treats of real estate
mortgages. It authorizes the investment of 70 p.c. of the assets in such
mortgages, one-sixth at least of which " shall be upon real estate in this
found
State "—that is Vermont. A proviso adds that only 50 per cent of the
assets may be invested in mortgages on real estate outside of Vermont.
Sections 4097 and 4098 relate only to obtaining and paying for insurance. Section 4099 is as follows, and has reference to investment
on personal security.
Section 4099— Ko loans or investments on personal security shall be
made except upon at least two approved names, not less than two of
whom reside in this State or within fifty miles of the institution making
such investment, and such personal loans or investments shall not be
for a longer time than oue year; and not more than one-third of the
assets of a savings bank, savings institution or trust company shall be
invested in personal securities.
Section 4100 only covers a single point; that is to say it restricts to
five per cent of the deposits the amount which a savings bank may
invest in the lot and building for the transaction of its business, and
adds that a revenue may be derived from portions of the building not
required for the bank's use. The next section (Section 4101) covers
the most important of the provi-sions relating to investments that are
contained in the law. We give the section in full below. The separation
into paragraph? and the figures in parenthesislwhichniunber and begin
the paragraphs are our own.
Section 4101—With the foregoing exceptions, the moneys deposited
in Savings' Banks, Savings' Institutions and Trust Companies, and
the income therefrom, shall be invested only as follows
(1.) In the public funds of tlie United States, or public funds for the
payment of principal and interest of which the faith of tlie United States
pledged;
In the bonds or notes of the counties, cities, towns, villages and
school districts of the New England States, New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa;

counties, cities and towns of five thousand or more inhabitants in the
States of New Jersey, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Missouri, and in
counties, cities and towns of ten thousand or more inhabitants in the
States of Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Oregon
and Washington, but no investment shall be made in any of the
counties, cities or towns in the States above named, except in cities
of fifty thousand or more inhabitants, where the municipal indebtedness of such county, city or town exceeds Jive per cent of its assessed
valuation, and when not issued in aid of railroads;
(5.) In the school bonds and independent school district bonds of New
Jersey, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Missouri; and in the school bonds and
independent scliool district bonds of school districts o( two tliousand

made in the capital stock of any sucli banks, owned or loaned upon, to
exceed in the aggregate one-fourth 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 4102— 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 deposits, nor more
than thirty thousand dollars; nor shall such loan on personal security
exceed ten thousand dollars.
We also give Section 4106 in fuU. 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 4106.—The words "trust company" in this chapter shall be
construed to Include savings banks and tru.st companies. A savings
bank, savings institution or trust comjiauy may deposit on call in
banks, banking associations or trust companies in this State, or in
the cities of New York, Boston or Chicago, or in national banks in
the cities of St. Paul, Minneapolis and Kansas City, with or without
interest, as may be agi-eed 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, &c. Section 4108 authorizes savings banks to demand and receive on loans 6 per cent interest.

DEBT LIMITATIONS.—There seems to be no provision in the Constitution of Massachusetts limiting the power of the Legislature to
create State indebtedness, or liiuiting its power to authorize municipal
Indebtedness. Statutes general and special have, however, been passed
on this subject with respect to Cities and Towns.
First among these Statutes needing mention we have Chapter 29 of
the Revised or " Public Statutes." The important sections to be cited
contained in Chapter 29 are as follows. We give only the substance
of the sections, not the words.
Section l— Provides that cities and towTis shall not incur debt
except in the manner and witliin the limitations prescribed in this

of such investment more than 30,000 inhabitants, as estalilished by
the last national or State census (or city census certified to by the city
clerk or treasurer of said city, and taken in the same manner as a
national or State census preceding such investment), and whose net

I
chapter.
Section 2— Provides (as a preliminary for determining whether the
limitation fixed by Section 4 has been reached by any municipality)
that the water debt and the sinking funds shall be deducted from the
total debt.
Section 3— Provides that the first 17 sections of chapter 29 shall not
apply to debts incurred in aid of i-ailroads, to water scrip issued under
specuil statutes, or to indebtedness for a fire district.
Section 4— Provides that no city or town except as provided In the
following section shall become indebted in an amount which exceeds 3
per cent on the last preceding valuation [but amended as noted below.]
Section 5— Provides that cities and towns which were indebted on
the 13th day of June, 1875, to an amount not less than 2 per cent on
valuation for that year may "increase such indebtedness to the extent
" of an additional one per cent on that valuation and no more."
Section 6— Providea that cities, &c., " may by oz-diwar ;/ vote incur
debts for tempory loans " in anticipation of the year's taxes and of the
year's taxes next ensuing.
Section 7— Provides that other debts than those referred to in
section 6 .shall be incurred only by a vote of two-thirds of the voters
present at a town meeting, of two-thirds of all the members of each
branch of the city council, and approved by the Mayor; or if the Mayor
disapproves, by another like vote after notice of such disapproval.
Section 8— Provides that debts incurred for water must be payable
within 30 years; in constructing sewers within 20 years; all other debts
within 10 years.
Sections 9 to 17 inclu.sive, contain Interesting provisions relating to
sinking funds and other allied matters.
Section 18— Provides that any city which at a meeting of its voters
has accepted by a two-thirds vote any act to supply said city with
water, may by a vote of a majority of the members of each branch of
the city council contract debts and issue bonds for the purpose.
Section 19— Provides that towTis, &c., shall not increase their debt
by subscriptions in aid of railroads beyond 3 per cent of valuation hut
the limitation ot this section shall not apply to temporary loans mentioned in Section 6.
Sections 20 to 23, which are the final ones of Chapter 29, have no
reference to the subject we are discussing and need not be cited.
As the reader has seen, the foregoing (Section 4, Chapter 29) fixes the
general debt limitation for cities and towns at 3 per cent.
This general limitation was lowered by a later law. The provision is
found in Chapter 312, Section 2 of the "Public Statutes," which provision reduces the general debt limitation from 3 per cent to 2^2 per
cent on the average valuation for the preceding three years. Worcester,
Lynn, Gloucester and Brockton are in the same Section exempted from
the operation of the Section until January 1, 1889— later than 1889 the
only exemi)tions we find in the Statutes are si^ecial in their purpose,
;
not general.
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 vole can incur debts for temporary loans in anticipation of
the taxes of the year only in which such debts are incurred.
Temporary loans (for a term not exceeding one year) in anticipation
of money to be derived from an issue of bonds or other form of indebtedness, duly authorized, are provided for by a statute approved June
14, 1898. The same Act states that the time within which said bondS)
etc., shall become due shall not be extended by reason of said tempor.
ary loan.
The foregoing statements cover all the material facts general in their
application passed with respect to debt limitation.
In addition to
these General Provisions there are various Special Laws wlilch contain
exceptions to the general law as to debt limitation, which apply to Boston, Cambridge, Lynn, Newburyport, Waltham, Worcester, &c., <feo.

MUNICIPAL INDEBTEDNESS LIMITATIONS.-There is nothing
Rhode Island limiting the amount of
however, are two sections taken from Title
in the Constitution of
The
city debts.
following,
7, Chapter
36 (page 157) of the Revised Statutes of the State of 1896. Since 1878
these provisions have been in force, and consequently 3 per cent of the
taxable property has been the limit of the power of each town (which
includes city) to create debt.
Section 20. "The outstanding notes, bonds and contracts of towns
shall be paid and be fulfilled according to the tenor thereof, and aU
public worKs now authorized to be prosecuted shall be prosecuted, and
all in.lebtedness now authorized to be incurred on account thereof may
be incurred aocortling to the tenor of the authority therefor.
Section 21. No town shall, toithout special statutory auihorlly
therefor, incur any debt in excess of three per centum of the taxable
property of such town, including the Indebtertuess of such town on
the tenth day of April, one thousand eight hundred seventy-eight, but
the giving of a new note or bond, for a pre-existing debt, or for
money borrowed and applied to the payment of such pre-existing debt,
is excepted from the provisions of this section, and the amount of any
sinking fund shall be deducted in computing such indebtedness."
A proposed new constitution, containing certain limitations as to
State and other debts, failed of adoption at the November election in
1898, was again submitted to popular vote in 1899 and again defeated
"^
SAVINGS BANK INVESTMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS.-In
the Revised Statutes of Rhode Island (which were revised in 1896),
Sections 54, 55, 56, etc., of Chapter 178, Title 19 (on page 548), wiU be
found the provisions of law with reference to Savings Bank Invest"
ments. Section 54. which recites in detail the stocks, bonds, etc., these
institutions are allowed to put their money in is as follows
Suction 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 fire district in any Now England State.
(4) Or in such corporate stocks or bonds as they may deem safe and
secure,
(5) Or they may discount notes, bonds or drafts of individuals or corporat'ons, with two other responsible endorsers, sureties or guarantors,
(6) Or the notes, bonds or drains 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 fire district in any
New England State, or by the stock or bonds of any corporation which
may be deemed to bo safe, or by mortgage on real estate.
Concerning Sections 55 and 56, the first appears to give savings
Institutions quite extensive powers as to making and keeping deposits
In commercial banks. When so kept, however, they are to be kept
"payable on demand whether drawing interest or not." The two
sections arc subjoined.
Section 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 drawin" interest or not.
Section 56.— No money shall be loaned by any institution for savings to any tru.stee, director or other officer of such institution.
For the other provisions of the law as they now are wo would refer
our readers to the Revi-sed Statutes of 1896.

the adontion of this amendment.
The foregoing is explicit and comprehensive, covering every munlcipahty. There are no general restrictions in the Revised
Statutes;
whatever restrictions have been made from time to time are contained
in enabling acts and in city charters.
As to towns, we notice that there is a general law granting them unlimited power to issue bonds. According
to section 140, chapter 23 of
the Revised Statutes, " when any town shall have made appropriations
" or incurred debts, or shall hereafter make appropriations or incur
" debts exceeding ten thousand dollars, it may issue bonds, either regis" tered or with coupons attached, or other obligations, payable at such
" times and at such annual rate of interest not exceeding 6 per cent
" payable annuaUy or semi-annually,
as It shall determine," &c. Cities
have had no such general authority conferred upon them.
Exemption from Taxation nas lieen accorded by general statute to
certain bonds Issued by cities and towns to aid in the construction of
railroads; and this exemption has been extended to new bonds issued
for the purpose of redeeming or providing a fund to redeem the railroad
33
aid bonds above referred to. This exemption is found in Section 3,820,
Chapter 241 of the RevLsed Statutes (last clause of Section), and the
bonds there named are those " issued by any town or city in aid of the
" construction of the railroads of the Connecticut Western Railroad
" Company, the New Haven Middletown & Willimantio Railroad Com" pany, the Shepaug Valley Railroad Company, the Connecticut Valley
" Railroad Co.. the Connecticut Central RaUroad Company, or either of
"them." All railronds which are in whole or in part in the State are
taxed by the State under Section 3920, Chapter 244 of the Revised
Statutes, so that the tax on these bonds is paid by the railroads.
Exemption from tax of new bonds issued to redeem or to provide a fund
to redeem the railroad aid bonds, or to redeem or to provide a fund to
redeem any reissue of the same, is conferred fully by an act approved
June 19, 1889, and found in the "Public Acta" for that year.

SAVINGS BANKS INVESTMENTS-PRIVILEGES AND RESTRICTIONS.— At the session in 1899 material changes were made in
the provisions regulating the investment of the deposits of the savings
banks of Connecticut. We give below the law as thus amended.
The Act of 1899 is entitled "An Act concerning Investments of Savings Banks", and is as follows. The separation into paragraphs and the figures in brackets which number and begin the para"
graphs we have inserted so that those who need to refer to or use any
particular portion of the section can more readily find the part deotherwise we give the section as it reads and was passed.
sired

and in the mortgage bonds hitherto issued which the said consolidated

no "time within tlvo years next preceding the date of such inveirtment
shall sueh railroad corporation have failed regularly and punctually
to pay the principal at matuiity, (or as extended,) and interest of all its

tion shall have been equal to at least one-tbirdof the total mortgage
Indebtedness of such railroad corporation, including all bonds Issued
or to be issued under any mortgage securing any bond in which such
investment shall be mide, but this Act shall not be held to authorize
any investment in the bonds of any corporation operating its railroad
exclusively by any means other than steam as a motive power, or in
the bonds of any street railrond comjiany.
(8) ^Ul other investments shall consist of deposits in incorporated
banks or trust companies located in this State or in the States of New
York, Massachusetts, or Rhode Island,
(9) Or of loans secured by mortgage on unincumbered real estate
situated in this State, worth double the amount of the loan secured
thereon, provided that any savings bank in the towns of Putnam.
Brooklyn and Killinglvmay loan on land located in the County of
Providence in the State of Rhode Island; any savings bank in the
town of RidgeHcld may loan on land located in the County of Westchester in the State of New Y'ork any savings bank in the town of
Entield or in the town of Staftord may loan on land located in the
County of Hampden in the State of Massachusetts; and any savings
bank in the town of Stoniugtou may loan on laud located in the
;
:
;
County of Washington in the State of Rhode Island.
It would seem according to the foregoing amendment of section
1800 that only forty per cent of the deposits and surplus of any
savings bank may be employed on personal .security, but that no limit
is placed upon the amount which may be invested in the other securities mentioned in the section.
The subjoined sections, 1803, 1804, 1805 and 1806, provide certain
restrictions with reference to loans— section 1803 restricting loans on
Mortgage Security to Manufacturing Corporations and Ecclesiastical
Societies; section 1804 restricting amount of loans to one party on
personal security; section 1805 forbidding loans on single names.
Sec. 1803. No loan shall be made by any savings bank to any corporation or association or ecclesiastical society, secured by mortgage
upon their property, unless the same shall be accompanied by the
individual guarantee of some responsible party or parties, or by other
collateral security of equal value to the amount of the sum loaned,
and the directors or trustees of any such bank consenting to any loan
contrary to the provisions of this section shall be held individually
responsible to the full extent of such loan.
Sec. 1804. No savings bank having more than twenty-five thousand
dollars deposits shall loan ou personal security to auy one person,
company, or interest, more than three per cent of its deposits at the
time of making such loan.
Sec. 1805. No savings bank shall buy, or lend any money upon, any
obligation on which only one person or firm shall be holden, without
taking additional security for the same equivalent to the guaranty or
indorsement of some other responsible party.
Besides the ordinary safeguards which are in all savings bank laws
there is one of no little importance that ought to aid materially in preTenting incautious loans. We refer to the provision below.
Sec. 1806. When any loan or investment is made by any savings
bank, the names of the directors or trustees consenting thereto shaU be
entered upon the records of said bank, and said record shall be at all
times open to the inspection of the corporators and auditors of said
bank and the Bank Commissioners, and he prima facie evidence of the
truth of the statements therein contained.
—
TRUST FUNDS-HOW LOANED OR INVESTED-We
find in
Section 495 of the General Statutes the following liberal provisions
providing that trust funds may be loaned or invested in the same
securities savings banks are authorized to invest in.
Sec. 495. Trust funds, unless it is otherwise provided in the instrument creating the trust, may be loaned on the security of mortgages on
unencumbered real estate in this State, double in value the amount
loaned, or may be invested in such mortgages or in the bonds or loans
of this State, or of any town, city, or borough of this State, or in any
bonds, stocks, or other securities which the savings banks in this State
are or may be authorized by law to invest in, or may be deposited in
savings banks incoriiorated by this State.

Note. —For debts of minor civil divisions not found among the statements given below, see "Additional Statements" at tlie end of this State.
The relation which the towns, cities and boroughs of this State bear
to one another is peculiar, aud requires a word of explanation. The
State is divided into eight counties, and these counties are made up of
towns, numbering in the aggregate 167. The tovms are the civil unit,
and on the assessed valuation (which is called the " Grand Li.st of each
town ") is levied the tax for State purposes as well as the tax for town
expenditures. Within the town is often situated a city or a borough, or
both, all of which may at the same time have bonds outstanding. There
are ten cities, each with one exception bearing the same name as the
town in which it lies. Of late several towns and cities whose limits
were about Identical have been consolidated and the outstanding
bonds of both town and city are reported together without distinction.
This is the case with the city and town of Hartford, which previous to
April, 1896, reported their debts separately. The city and town of
New London have been consolidated and also Bridgeport city and
town. On December 7, 189 7, city, town and school district of New
Haven were likewise consolidated.
The borough stands in about the same relation to the town as does
the city. The grand list as determined for the town is used by both the
city and the borough in levying taxes, the city, for instance, putting a
tax of its own on its share of the total grand list of the town. This tax
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

HISTORY OF DEBT.—The historical details of New York's State
debt from 1817 to 1894 will be found in the State and City SuppleMKNT 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. The«e bonds have all been
Issued to date, but $500,000 have been paid off from the proceeds of the
tax levied or a sinking fund, leaving outstanding Sept. 1, 1899, $8,500,660, which, with the $385,000 Comptroller's Certificates and
$400,000 Adirondack Park Bonds and $900,000 Defense Bonds, a total
of $10,185,660, constituted the State's indebtedness on Sept. 1, 1899.

DEBT LIMITATION—State.—The new Constitution has in some
measure modified the provisions of the fundamental law restricting the
power of the Legislature over the issue of debt, &c These provisions
are found in Article 7. We give the sections of that article (Article 7)
below which have reference to the subject.
Statecreditnot to be given.— SECTioii 1. The credit of the State shall
not in any manner be given or loaned to or in aid of any individual
">^
association or corporation.
-m
State debts, poioer to contract.—SEC. 2. The State may, to meet casual
deficits or failures in revenues, or for expenses not provided for, contract debts; but such debts, direct or contingent, singly or in the aggregate, shall not at any time exceed one million of dollars; and the
moneys arising from the loans creating such debts shall be applied to
the purpose for which they were obtained, or to repay the debt so coptracted, and to no other purpose whatever.
Slate debts to repel invasions.— Sec. 3. In addition to the above limited
power to contract debts, the State may contract debts to repel invasion,
suppress insurrection^ or defend the State in war; but the money arising from the contracting of such debts shall be applied to the purpose
for which it was raised, or to repay such debts, and to no other purpose
whatever.
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 bo distinctly specified therein and such law shall impose and provide for
the collection of a direct annual tax to pay, and suffloent 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 eflfect until it shall, at a general election, have been submitted to the people, and have received a
majority of all the votes east 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 bUl 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 pursuance thereof, repeal the same; and may at any time, by law,
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 i>roceeds thereof shall have made the provision hereinbefore
specified to pay and discharge the interes5t and principal of such debt
and liability. The money arising from any loan or stock creating such
the
debt or liability, shall be applied to the work or object specified
act authorizing such debt or liability, or for the repayment of such
debt or liability and for no other purpose whatever. No such
law shall be submitted to be voted on, within three months after
its passage, or at any general election when any other law, or any
bill, or any amendment to the Constitution, shall be submitted to
be voted for or against.
Sinking Fund, how kept and invested. Sec. 5. The sinking funds
provided for the payment of interest and the extinguishment of the
principal of the debts of the State shall be separately kept and safely
invested, and neither of them shall be appropriated or used in any manner other than for the specific purpose for which it shall have been
provided.

DEBT LIMITATION.— Cities,
Counties.
Towns and Villages.—
Constitution of New York State puts a general and
uniform limit to the iiower of all counties and cities of the State to contract and put out their obligations, leaving to the Legislature to fix tlie
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 wliicli iiiiuiber and begin the paragraphs are our own, we having inserted thciii so
that those who need to refer to or use any particular portion can the more
readily find the part desired. With that exception we give Section 10
of Article 8 hs 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 becoino directly or indirectly the owiu-r
nor shall any
of stock in, or bonds of, any association or corporation
such county, city, town or village bo allowed to incur any indebtodiioss
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 sui)|)ort of its poor as may be authorized liy law.
(2) No county or city shall bo allowed to become Inilcbtcd for any
puri>oso or in "anv manner to an amount which, including existing

indebteduess, shall exceed teu per ceut\im of the assessed vaUiation of
the real estate of such couuty or city subject to taxation, as it appeared
by the assessment rolls of said county or city on the last assessment for
State or county taxes prior to the incurring of such indebtedness and
all indebtedness in excess of siich limitation, except such .as may now
exist, shall be absolutely void, except as herein otherwise provided.
(3) No county or city whose present indebtedness exceeds ten per
centum of the assessed valuation of its real estate subject to taxation,
shall be allowed to become indebted in any further amount until such
Indebtedness shall be reduced within such limit.
(4) This section shall not be construed to prevent the issuing of certificates of indebtedness of revenue bonds issued in anticipation of the
collection of taxes for amounts actually contained, or to be contained
In the taxes for the year when such certiUcates or revenue bonds are
issued and payable out of such taxes.
(5) Kor shall this section be construed to prevent the issue of bonds
to jirovide 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 live
yeai-s after their date of issue, and bonds issued to provide for the supply
of water, and any debt hereafter incurred by any portion or part of a
city, if there shall be any such debt, shall be included in ascertaining
the power of the city to become otherwise indebted.
(7) Whenever hereafter the boundaries of any city shall become the
same 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 is to be voted upon which would change this paragraph to read as follows: Whenever the boundaries of any city are
the same as those of a county, or when any city shall include 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 purposes, in any county containing a city of over one hundred thousand
inhabitants, or any such city of this State, in addition to providing for
the principal and interest of existing debt, shall not in the aggregate
exceed in any one year two per centum of the assessed valuation of the
real and personal est.ate of such county or city, to be ascertained as
prescribed in this section in respect to county or city debt.
By the terms of the foregoing section, Paragraph (1), every " County,
City, Town or Village" is included in the prohibition against (1) loaning" "its money or credit," (2) in becoming "directly or indirectly the
owner of stock in or bonds of any association or corporation," and (3)
In incurring " any indebtedness except for County, City, Town or village purposes." Most of the other paragraphs include only Counties
;
;
and
Cities.
According to Paragraph (6) it seems that "any debt hereafter incurred by any portion or part of a city, if there shall be any such debt
shall be included in ascertaining the power of the city to become other
wise indebted."

unproductive real property, the amount loaned thereon shall not be
more than forty per centum of its actual value. No investment in
any bond and mortgage shall be made by an^r savings bank except
upon the rei'ort of a committee of its trustees charged with the duty
of investigating the same, who shall certif.v to the value of the premises mortgaged or to be mortgaaed, according to their best judgment,
and such report shall be filed aad preserved among the records o f the

which connecting railroad at least a majority of its capital stocl*. is
owned by such a railroad corporation of this State, or in the mortgage
bonds of any such railroad corporation of an issue to retire all prior
;
We would also call special attention to
Paragraph (7), that whenever
hereafter the boundaries of any city shall become the same as those of
"
a county I lie power of the connty to become indeMed shall cease, but the
debt of "the county at that time existing shall not be included as a part
of the city debt." [This clause, as stated above, is to be amended.]
In May 1886 the New York Court of Appeals decided at the end of a
litigation begun in July 1885 that the sinking fund was not a part of
the city debt within the meaning of the above provision of the Constitution limiting the creation of debt to 10 per cent of the assessed valuation of the real estate.
Towns and Villages are not limited in their debt-making power by the
Constitution. Those municipalities will be goveuned by general or
special statutes.
The 1895 Leaislature passed an act " for the protection of bona llde
purchasers and holders of coupon bonds aad of municipal corporations
against misfeiisance, malfeasance or negligence of public otlicers."
The full text of this law was published in the Chronicle of June 8,
1895. V. 60, p. 1023.
EXEMPTION FROM TAXATION.-There is one general New York
statute with reference to exemption from taxation " for town, county,
municipal or State purposes " of a class of bonds "issued by any village,
city, town or county" in the State, which seems to have a wider application than is generally known. As originally passed in 1881 the exemption applied only to bonds issued to pay up or retire bonds "created
to aid in the construction o( any railroad." A new law was passed in
1886 (Chapter 316) making the tax exemption apply to " new bonds "
Issued under the act to retire any of the then "present bonded indebtedness of any village, city, town or county in this State." With reference
" All new
to such new bonds the third section of the act of 1886 says
bonds Issued by any village, city, town or county in this State under
the provisions of this act sfiall be exempt from taxation for town,
county, municipal or State purposes until the period when they are
made payable." In 1893 still another law was passed making the
statute cover any bonded indebtedness. The law as it now stands wUl
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
its bonds may be made exempt from city and county taxation. That
statute is sulyoined.
Sec. 137. The Commissioners of the "SinkingFundof theCity of New
York for the redemption of the city debt," when duly authorized by
ordinance of the Common Council, may, by concurrent resolution,
direct that the bonds and stocks of said city, issued pursuant to law,
after June ninth, eighteen hundred and eighty, shall be exempt from
taxation by said city and by the county of New York, but not from taxation for State purposes and all boU'ts and stocks issued pursuant to
such authority shall be exempt from taxation accordingly, provided
that said bonds and stocks shall not bear interest exceeding the rate of
four and one-half per centum per annum. The bonds and stocks of the
city of New York issued pursuant to the provisions of this section shall
express upon their face tne fact that they are exempt from taxation by
the city and county of New York, but not from State taxation, and
shall refer to this section, and to the ordinance of the Common Council,
and the resolution of the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund authorizing their issue.

SAVINGS BANK INVESTMENTS-POWERS AND RESTRICTIONS.— In 1898 the New York Legislature passed an amendment to

The outstandina bonds of the county of Queens and of the town of
Hempstead as also certain of the school districts therein are reported
8eparat«<ly under tlieir owq heads; tUe amount which will be chargeable to the city of New York in these cases has not yet been judicially
determined, although the referee, ex-Judge Brown, has decided that
the division of the debt should be on the basis of the assessed valuation of Nassau County and Queens Borough. This division makes New
York City responsible for $3,822,316 and Nassau County for $985,653
of the old county's debt. Although this decision has been conllrmed, an
appeal has been taken.

HISTORY OF DEBT.— New Jersey has always been a conservative
State; there are consequently no facts out of which to construct a history of debt issues. In a report made in 1838 the financial officer of
the State afflnned 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 and what the State now owes
is the remnant of those war issues. The details are as follows.

DEBT LIMITATIONS.—The provisions of law limiting and regulat"
iug the debt^making power in New Jersey will be better understood
.
and the information
will bo made more serviceable to the investor if
arranged in accordance with the civil divisions to which the provisions
apply.
(1) THE STATE is restricted as to its debt-making power by the
State Constitution. In Article IV, Section VI, paragraphs 3 and 4, the
whole subject is disposed of. The third paragraph forbids a loa n of the
State's credit, and the fourth paragraph forbids the creation o f debt
These provisions are as follows.
3. The credit of the State shall not be directly or indirectly loaned in
any
case.
The
I..egl8lature .shall not in any manner create any debt or debts,
liability or liabilities of the State, which shall singly or in the aggregate
with any previous debts or liabilities at any time exceed one hundred
thousand dollars, except for purposes of war, or to repel invasion, or to
suppress insurrection, unless the same shall be authorized by a law for
4.
some
single object of work, to be distinctly specified therein; which
law shall provide the ways and means, exclusive of loans, to pay the
Interest of sueh debt or liability as it falls due, and also to pay and
discharge the principal of such debt or liability within thirty-five years
from the time of the contracting thereof, and shall be iirenealable until
such debt or liability and the interest thereon are fuUy pakl 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
beapplied only to the specific object stated therein, and to the payment
of the debt thereby created. This section shall not be construed to reer to any money that has been, or may be, deposited with this State by
'he Government of the United States.
*
;
;
hereafter give any money or propert.y. or loan its money or credit,
to or in aid of any individual, association or corporation, or become
secui-ity 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 coi-poration whatever.
It will be noted that the above prohibition relates to the giving of
money, property or credit of cities, &c., to individuals, associations, or
corporations, <fec., 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
spcciaHaws " regulating the internal affairs of towns and counties";
in this and in all other cases in which according to the judgment of
the Legislature general laws are feasible, the Constitution states that
general laws must be provided.
In compliance with this last provision the Legislature has passed
many general laws covering bonded indebtedness of cities, towns, etc
They are so numerous they cannot be cited here. We would refer the
reader to the Revised Statutes of New Jersey i)ublished in 1896 under
the heading '-Municipal Bonds" pages 693 to 716 both inclusive; and
also to the same heading ("Municipal Bonds") pages 2220, etc.
TAX EXEMPTION.— The State of New Jersey passed in 1893
a general statute which exempts from taxation the bonds, securities and other evidences of indebtedness of municipal corporations; the provision covers not only the bonds, etc., to be hereafter
issued, but those as well that have been heretofore issued. It is a
sweeping statute, and one which is of decided interest to the holders of
the municipal securities of the State. The full text of it may be found
in the State and City SorPLEMENT for October, 1898, page 58.

According to the foregoing (4th paragraph), the power of the State for

and (2) when the authorization is for some single object of work specified therein, etc. In the latter case the mode of procedure is, as will
be seen, given in the same paragraph of the Constitution.

passed in 1876. Since then the legislative tendency in the matter ot
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 flr.st 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 ma.
two of the law of 1878, which covered the same subject matter contained in section 29 of the original law
of 1876, and thereby section 26 of the law of 1876 was superseded by
the law of 1886, and section 29 was superseded by the law of 1889. In
1896 a supplement approved March 30, 1896 (Chapter 139, laws of
1896) to the law of 1876, making school district bonds an authorized
investment, went into effect. In 1897 an act was passed (approved
April 9) authorizing investments in bonds issued by commissioners
appointed by the Supreme Court of the State. In 1899 a further
supplement extending the permissible line of municipal investment*
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 Governor. The 1899 law is as follows
terially the provisions of section
Section 1. It shall be lawful for any savings bank in this State to
invest its funds in the bonds of any city, county, town or township of
th'S State issued pursuant to the authority of any law of this State, or
in the bonds of any borough or village or school district of this State
issued pursuant to the authority of any law of this State; provided,
such borough, village or school district shall not, within the ten
years next preceding, have defaulted in the payment of any part of
either principal or interest of any legal debt or obligation thereof; and
JJrorided/^fr/7(.er, that the total indebtedness of any such borough or
village does not exceed ten per centum of its assessed valuation, and
such school district bonds are by law charged upon all the property of
the inhabitants of such district, or in any Interest-bearing obligation
(other than obligations commonly known "as Improvement certificates)
issued by the city, county, town, township, borough or village in
which such bank or institution is situated.
The following is the law of 18J7 (approved April 9, 1897):
"Sec. 1. It shall be lawful for any bank, trust company, savings bank
or savings iustitutiou * * * incorporated under the laws of this
State, to invest moneys belonging to or deposited with any such companies in any bonds authorized by the laws of this State to b'i issued
by any comiui-sion appointed by the Supreme Court of this State byvirtue of any law of this State."
We omit the law of 1896 with reference to school district bonds
because its provisions are Included in the laws of 1899, quoted above.
Next we give the leading provisions of the general law as to investments.
Section 1. That the first section of the act of which this is a supplement be and the same is hereby amended so as to read as follows
That it shall not be lawful, from and after the passage of this act, for
any savings bank or other savings institution, whether chartered or
incorporated under a general or special act of the legislature of this
State, and any provision contained in the charter, or any supplement
thereto, of such savings bank or savings institution to the contrary, to
invest the moneys deposited with the same in any manner, except as
follows, to wit:
I. In the stocks or bonds or interest-bearing notes or obligations of the
United States, or those for which the faith of the United States is
distinctly pledged to provide for the payment of the principal and
:
interest thereof;
II. In the interest-bearing bonds of this State;
III. In the bonds of anj' State in the Union that has not, within ten
years previous to making such investment by any such bank or institution, defaulted in the payment of any part of either principal or interest
of any debt authorized by any legislature of such State to be contracted.
IV. In the stocks or bonds of any city, town, county or village of this
State, issued pursuant to the authority of any law of this State, or of
the cities of New York, Brooklyn and Philadelphia, or in any interestbearing obligations (other than those commonly known as improvement certificates) issued by the city, town or borough in which such
bank or institution shall be situated (See below for provision includingthe bonds o/ certain cities and counties of any State in the U. S).
V. Id bonds secured by mortgages which shall be a first lien on real

or unproductive real estate, tlie amount loaned tliereon sliall not be
more than thirty per centum of its actual value and no investment in
any bondand mortgage shall be made by any savings banlf, except upon
the report of a committee of at least three of the managers, directors
or trustees of any such bank or institution, and a majority of wliich
committee shall certify to the value of the premises mortgaged, or to
be mortgaged, according to their best judgment; such report shall be
filed and preserved among the records of tlie institution
Vr. In real estate strictlj- in accordance with the following proits shall
;
;
visions.
We do
not reprint the real estate provisions, as they cover a matter
not germane to our present subject. It is sufficient to say that they are
two in number, marked fa) and (b), and may bo summarized as below
(aj authorizes tlie holding of a plot for erection of a banlting building or buildings, portions of wliich may be rented, but the cost of lot
and buildings must not exceed 50% of the net surplus of the corporation;
(bj 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 ihust bo sold within tive years unless,
on application to the State Board having supervision of Savings Baniis,
time shall be extended.
But the character of permissible investments was further greatly
«nlargcd by the law of 1886, which is as follows
Section l. Tliat it shall be lawful for any savings bank or savings institution, iuoorporated 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 ten years previous to making such investment by
any such savings bank or savings institution of this State, defiiiilted in
the payment of any part of either principal or interest of any debt
authorized by law of such State to be contracted; and provided, further, that the total indebtedness of any such city or county is limited
by law to ten percentum of its assessed valuation.
By another act the banks also have the right to invest in railroad
bonds under 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,
It was again re-enacted.
The section is as follows
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 1839 amending section 2
of the law of 1878 is as below. It relates to loans on collaterals
Section 2. That hereafter it shall not be lawful for any saving institution in this State to loan the money on deposit with the same, or any
part thereof, upon notes, bills of exchange or drafts, excepting upon
the additional pledge of collatei-al 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
:
:
section of this act, or the capital stocks of national and State banks,
or other corporations of this State, which nave not defaulted in the
payment of interest dividends within two years next preceding the
time of such loan, and then only to the extent of eighty per centum of
the «iarfc«< value of such collaterals; i«'oei(/e(Z, that the totiil amount
of such loans shall not exceed fifteen per centum of the total deposits
held by such institution.
In addition to the foregoing (according to section 27 of the general
law of 1876) the managers can keep on hand or on deposit in any bank
in the State, or in any trust or safe deposit company in New j'ersey.
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 current daily
receipts over payments until such time as they may be judiciously
invested.

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

DEBT LIMITATION— In Pennsylvania the limit to the indebtedness
Of the State, and to the indebtedness of the cities and minor civil
organizations in the State, is fixed by the State Constitution.
1. Stale indebtedness.— With regard to the State, the regulations
controlling and governing debt creation, payment, Ac, are found
in Sections 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, 13 and 14 of Article IX of the Constitution
and are as follows.
Article IX, Sec. 4. No debt shall be created by, or on behalf of, the
State except to supply casual dcttcieucies of revenue, repel invasions,
suppress insurrection', defend the State in war, or to vay existing debt;
and the debt created to supply deficiencies in revenue shall never
exceed, in tlie aggregate at any one time, one million of dollars.
Section 5. AH laws authorizing the borrowing of money by, and on
behalf of, the State shall specify the purpose for which the money is to
be used, and the money so borrowed shall be used for the purpo.«e speci-
and no other.
Section 6. 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
company, association or corporation.
Section 11. To provide for the payment of the present State debt, and
any additional debt contracted as aforesaid, the General Asseiuhly
shall continue and maintain the sinking fund sufficient to pay the
accruing interest on such debt, and annually to reduce the principal
thereof by a sum not less than two hundred and fifty thousaud dollars
the said sinking fund shall consist of tlio proceeds of the sales of the
public works, or any part thereof, and of the income or proceeds of the
sale of any stocks owned by the Commonwealth, together with other
funds and resources that niay bo designated by law, and shall be
increased from time to time by assigning to it any part of the taxes or
other revenue of the State not required for the ordinary and current
expenses of government, and unless in case of war, invasion or insurrection, no part of the said sinking fund shall be used or applied otherwise than in the extinguishment of the public debt.
Section 12. The moneys of the State, over and above the necessary refied
serve, shall be used in the payment of the debt of the State, either
directly or through 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 of this State.
Section 13. The moneys held as necessary reserve shall be limited
by law to the amount required for current expenses, and shall be secured and kept as may be provided by law. Monthly statements shall
be published, showing the amount of such moneys, where the same are
deposited, and how secured.
Section 14. The making of profit out of the public moneys, or using
the same for any purpose not authorized by law, by any otticer of the
State, or member or officer of the General Assembly, shall be a misdemeanor, and shall be punished as may be provided by law; but pari of
such punishment shall be disqualification to hold office for a i)eriod of
not less than five years.
State loans in Pennsylvania, whether created for original indebtedness or authorized to fund existing indebtedness, are usually negotiated through the Governor and Commissioners of the sinking fund.
The last act of the Pennsylvania Legislature authorizing a public
loan was the act of June 8, 1881, when a thirty-year loan was effected
to fund existing indebtedness at a lower rate of interest.
The earliest date at which the last of the existing indebtedness of
Pennsylvania will mature is February 1, 1912, and under existing arrangements the accumulations in the sinking fund will at that time
pay the total State indebtedness.
and Muuicipal Indebtedness.— VnAav 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 nnuority 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 indebtednes.? is vested in
councils, municipal del)ts 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
district, or other 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 such
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.

Any
county, township, school district or other munici-
pality incurring any indebtedness shall, at or bet 're the time of sodoing, provide for the collection of an annual tax sufficient to pay the

(3) Toionshlps and School Districts.— In the various school districtsof the State the school directors have the power to create loans, subject to the limitations of Section 10 above quoted, to provide for the
redemption of the same within thirty years.
In townships, the only authority, except that of the school directorsto borrow rnoney, is in the road supervisors, who have no power t<y
craate bonded indebtedness, but simply to make a temporary loan for
necessary expenses, which inu.st bo provided for by an assessment of
sufficient townshiii tax rate, known as road tax.

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, suchsocieties 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 ledgei of the company
goes back to the time of opening, and shows a deposit on that day
(December 2, 1816) of five dollars. The company was not incorporated until February 25, 1819.
It is surprising that Pennsylvania, although engaged in such an early
venture in the department of savings institutions, should have made
so little progress in the same department since. Indeed, the second
organization does not bear date until 1847, and we think there had
only been 10 mutual savings institutions organized in the whole 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
wealth.
That such institutions were sought and needed is
sufficiently evident from the fact that nine of the ten companies referred to above reported in 1890 that they held $63,957,341 of
deposits. In 1889 a general law, facilitating the incorporation of savings banks, was passed by the Legislature. Since then there has been
a small addition to the number of institutions, the total doing business
In the State on Nov. 3, 1898. being 16, with deposits aggregating
$88,728,071,
The provisions of the special charters are all liberal as to investments A Imw passed in 1885, and a supplement of the same passed
in 1889, authorizing the extension for twenty years of special charcontains the following.
" Provided also, that no * * * Savings Institution or Savings
Bank having no capital stock, renewing or extending its charter,
corporate rights and franchises, under the provision-! of this act, shall
therearier 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 bonas of an\ county, city, horoutrh. township or school district within this commonwealth, or any other good
and valid securities."
Authority to loan on any " good and valid security "appears to confer about as broad a discretion upon the managers as could be
ters,
expressed in h statute.
It was not until 1889, as already stated, that a general law facilitating the organization of savings institutions was passed.
That
law of 1889 is indeed well adapted not only for facilitating, but for
stimulating, the growth of the system.
Its influence In the latter
direction would seem to be assured under the liberality of the
provisions respecting investments. The following is section 17, which
contains the investment limitations
we would especially direct
;
attention to subdivision four of this section:
Sect ion 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 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 excet^s of current daily
recelptsover the payments until such time as the same can be judiciously invested in the securities named above.

TOTAL DEBT, Etc.—The total liabilities on March 1, 1899, were
$819,750. The assets were $1,169,419; assets in excess of liabilities
$349,669. The total assets include bank stocks $477,702 mortgages
on railroads .$385,000, and bonds, $161,750.
ASSESSED VALUATION.-The total assessed valuation of the
State in 1890 was $74,134,401; in 1897 it was $77,632,079.
DEBT LIMITATION.— Neitherthe new Constitution (adopted June
4, 1897,) nor the old Constitution nor the State statutes contain any
general provisions authorizing bond issues or limiting the debt-makin;;
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-lourths of all the members elected to each
House, except to supjjly 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 (Arti. le 9, Sec. 1) to be created, etc., by
special act, "but only by or under general law"; "but the foregoiug
provisions shall not apply to municipal corporations, banks," etc.
The above indicates tliat the authority as regards municipalities [except as already specified in number (2)] rests with the General
A-sembly, and the General Assembly always passes special acts to
provide for special occasions and needs.

as follows in the years mentioned:

ating the Germanla Savings Bank of Baltimore. However, in both the
general and sjyecial laws there appears to be a pretty general authority
gi-anted for investing the deposits. The general law .states that—
Any savings institution incorporated under this article shall be
capal)lo of receiving from any person or persons, or bodies corporate or
politic, any deposit of money which shall be invested or loaned out on
qood security in the discretion of the directors; provided that 710 part of
the funds of' said corporation shall be loaned to any officer or director of
such corporation.
In the special law passed in 1890, which we have referred to above,
the power to loan the deposits is made a little more definite. The section referring to that sulycct states that the "corporation shall have
" power to borrow money, receive money on deposit, loan money
tukinti such security therefor, either recti 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 ofjicer or director thereof."
We cannot discover any marked dirfereuce 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, bo assumed as authorized under the general provision, since no limit is made and loaning on bond and mortgage
is always a legitimate iiart of the business of savings banks.

LIMITATION. -There is nothing in the Constitution of
Maryland limiting the power of the Legislature to authorize bond issues
either by the State or by its municipalities. No general limit for cities
and towns has been hxed by the Legislature, nor is there any general
authorization to be found in the statutes under wliich cities and towns
can issue bonds. This |»ower is lodged in the Legislature, and is delefated to the municipalities from time to time for specitto purposes as
he occasion may arise. It is necessary, tlierefore, for the investor to
study the law in each case on this as well as on otlier points affecting
the loan with respect to whicti he may need information.

adoption of the Constitution of 1851 the whole situation in these particulars has changed, the legislative power with respect to the State
having been limited. Tliesameis in large measure true also of the
State of Ohio,
municipalities.
ITS
to the State's power to contract debt, this is regulated under
sections of article 8 of the Constitution. Section 1 limits the
power to the supply of " casual deficits in revenues or to meet expenses
not otherwise provided for," but in the aggregate debts for even the
purposes named cannot exceed $750,000. Section 2 contains an exception to the foregoing it grants the power to contract debt in case of invasion, of insurrection, of war or of the redemption of the then existing
indebtedness. Section 3 reaffirms the limit, except as above specified.
Section 4 forbids the loaning of the State credit. Section 5 further forbids
the assumption of debts by States. We insert these five sections in full.
Section 1. [Debt limited to seven hundred and fifty thousajid dollars].
The State may contract debts to supply casual deficits or failures in
revenues or to meet expenses not otherwise provided for; but the
aggregate amount of such debts direct and contingent whether
contracted by virtue of one or more acts of the General Assembly, or at
difi'erent periods of time, shall never exceed seven hundred and fifty
thousand dollars; and the money arising from the creation of such
debts shall be applied to the purpose for ivhich it was obtained or to
re-pay the debts so contracted and to no other purpose whatever.
Section 2. [Additional and for lohat purpose.] In addition to the
above limited power the State raay 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 thejsame shall accumulate.
Section 3. [The State to create no other debt.] Exceptthe 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. [Or edit of State; the State shall not become joint owner or
stockholder.] Tlie 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.
Section 5. [No assumption of debts by the State.] The State shall
never assume the debts of any county, city, town or township, or of
any corporation whatever, unless such debt shall have been created to
repel invasion, suppress insurrection or defend the State in war.
The foregoing sections complete the limitation as to State debt and
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.

DEBT LIMITATION.— Ohio has very carefully guarded the debtmaking power of the State. This could not be said wliile the Constitution of 1802 was in force for under that instrument It was competent
for the Legislature to construct works of internal improvement on
behalf of the State, or to aid in their construction by subscribing to tlie
capital stock of corporations created for that purpose, or to authorize
in other ways the creation of debt In unlimited amounts. But since the
;
first live
;
SECOND, As to
Towns, Counties, <£c., so far as the Constitution
of the Legislature to authorize these municipalities to create debt, the limitations are found in section 6 of article
8 and in sections 1, 2 and 6 of article 13.
Section 6 of
(1)
affects the
Cities,
power
the General Assembly to
authorize cities,
stockholders in or to raise money or loan
credit to aid corporations, &c. (2) Sections 1 and 2 of article 13 forbid
the passing of special acts and require general acts for conferring cor'
porate powers. (3) Section 6 of article 13 provides that the General
Assembly make provision for the organization of cities, &o., by general
laws and restrict their debt-making power. Tliese sections are as follows
Article 8, Section 6. [Counties, cities, towns or townships not axithorarticle

The General Assembly shall never

otherwise, to become a stockholder in any joint stock company, corporaautliori'se

to, or in aid of, any such company, corporation or association.
Article 13, Section 1. [Corporate powers]. The General Assembly
ahall 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.
Section 6. [^Organization of cities, <fc.J Tlie General Assembly shall

abuse of such power.

would infer from section G article 8 above cited that
not suliscribe to the stock of or loan money to railroads, as
railroads are corporations and joint-stock companies. Tliat, however,
le not a correct conclusion, as was decided in the case of Walker vs. The
City of Cincinnati, a case which arose under an act of the Gener.al
Assembly of Oliio entitled " An Act relating to cities of the first class,'
authorizing any such city to construct a lino 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 legal
Ity of that proceeding this action wa« brousrht. The Court's opinion is
very full and explicit, the conclusion beiug that from "the language
•'of the section it is (i\iite evident that it was not intended to prohibit
"the construction of railroads nor indeed to prohibit any species of
"public improvements. The section contains no direct reference to
" railroads nor to any other special classes of improvements or enter" prises. The inhibitions ai'e directed ouly against a particular manner
"or means by which under the Constitution of 1802 many public im"provements had been accomplished."
In compliance with section 6, article 13 (cited above), which provides
for the organization of cities etc. by general law, the Legislature has
made an elaVwrate classification of municipal corjiorations. First they
are divided into cities, villages and hamlets. Then cities are divided
nto two clivsses, 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.
Cities In the First Ci-ass— First grade includes all cities ot 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

500 inhabitants.
Cities in the Second Class— First grade includes all cities of less than
31,500 and more than 30,500 inhabitants second grade all less than
30,500 and more than 20,000 inhabitants; third grade all less than
?0,000 and more than 10,000 inhabitants; fourth grade all less than
10,000 and more than 5.000 inhal)itants.
Villages— Of the first class include ail having less than 5,000 and
more than 3,000 inhabitants the second class includes all having less
than 3,000 and more than 200 inhabitants.
Hamlkts— According to section 1550 of the Revised Statutes all ex;
"incorporated villages for special
hamlets until advanced to villages."
It is impossible to make any satisfactory generalization with regard
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
granting power to issue bonds in anticipation of special assessments,
but most of the laws for that purpose cover only one class of cities, and
many of them are so worded as to apply only to one city, and granting
an issue of bonds for a specific puri)08e. No general laws limiting the
powers of municipalities to incur indebtedness have been passed, although section 6, article 13, appears to require it. And yet is it not a
question whether that section calls for any legislation of a general
nature except a general law " for the organization of cities, &c." !

Cincinnati is situated in Hamilton County.
In 1895 the villages of Avoudale, Clifton, I>iuwood, Riverside and
Westwood were annexed to Cincinnati and their indebtedness was
assumed by that city. The city Sinking Puud Ti-ustees entered into an
agreement with a New Y'ork Arm in 1898 looking to the refunding of
the Cincinnati •'outhern Railway bonds. This agreement was set aside
by Judge f<piegel on Aug. 18, 1898, and upon appeal the State Supreme
(y'ourt afriimed that rul ng.
See Chroniclb, V. 67, p. )89und442;
V. (H, p. 1143. The Board of Trustees of the Cincinnati Southern
Railway has also twice advertised for proposals to refund these bonds,
first on Deo. 20, 1898 (see Chronicle, Nov. 26. 1898. p. 1122), all bids
then received being rejected. They again called for propo.sals July
19, 1899 (V. 68, p. 1236), but only a small portion had been offered for
extension when litigation agaiu blocko'l further refunding operations.
This suit was dismissed on cept. 7. 1-99, by Judge Davis, of the Common Pleas Court, and ihe c ise is now (-^ept. 26, l5i99,) peuulng in the

SECOND, as to municipalities, the provision contained In the
Constitution seems to bo equally clear and emphatic, and, as will be
found, fixes the limit at 2 per cent of the valuation. It is article 13 of
tliat instrument whicli relates to this subject, and we give the article in
full liclow.

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
beynnd the 2 per cent limit, for the construction of " free gravel, stone
or other macadamized roads." Several such laws were passed at the
1899 session of the Legislature, all of which we now have in our possession. We wrote the Attorney General of Indiana in March, 1899,
for his opinion as to the constitutionality of these road laws. Un
der date of April 22, 1899, he replied, stating that in the case of Strieb
vs Cox, Treas., Ill Ind., the Supreme Court of Indiana held that
gravel road bonds are not properly indebtedness of the county— hence
do not come within the inhibition of Section 13 of the Constitution.
THIRD, counties (but no other kind of municipality) are prohibited
from subscribing for any stock in a corporation unless paid for at time
of such subscription. The section which covers this subject is section 6

Limit of one per cent may be exceeded in counties for funding purposes in certain cases where the aggregate indebtedness in 1879
exceeded one per cent (see Revised Statutes, Section 816); also for
temporary loans (see Revised Statutes, Section 5818).
Also (if the laws that have been passed are constitutional), the limit
of 2 per ceil t 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 tie county.
In addition to the foregoing, general statutes have been passed by the
Legislature granting general powers to cities and towns of fifteen
thousand inliabitants or over to issue bonds for legitimate corporate
purposes, subject, however, to the Constitutional limit of 2 per cent on
valuation. But we have not the space to set out here the details, or the
details of the other legislation applicable to cities of larger and smaller
population, and covering specific purposes, such as water works, <fec.
