Comptroller Fitch, making a deposit obligatory in the
case of bond issues of this city. That law imposes as a
condition precedent to the reception or consideration
of a proposal, that the bidder shall deposit with the
Comptroller a certified check, drawn to the Comptrol
ler’s order, upon one of the State or national banks of
New York City (or a deposit in money) to an amount
to be fixed by the Comptroller, but not exceeding 24
per cent of the amount of the proposal. The rule has
been applied in the case of the bond sales which have
taken place since the enactment of the law, and has
been found entirely satisfactory.
It will be remembered that this law owes its exist
ence to the fact that at the large bond sale of New
York City last year a number of irresponsible and
bogus bids were received. It will also be remembered
that the United States Government, a short time pre
viously, at its bond sale, had a similar experience,
some bids being received for the whole 100 millions of
bonds offered from parties who had absolutely no
financial standing whatever.
But these are cases with which the reader is familiar.
We wish to-day to refer to a more recent instance.
It adds another to the list of large borrowers that
have experienced considerable annoyance because of
the absence of a provision compelling a money forfeit
to bind bidders to their contract. We have in mind
the recent offering of bonds by the city of Brooklyn.
The latter part of September Brooklyn’s Comptroller
invited proposals for the purchase of $1,040,719 76 of
various issues of Brooklyn bonds. Bids were opened
at the appointed time, September 30, but the making of
an aivard was deferred. It subsequently appeared that
the city authorities had misgivings as to whether the
parties putting in the highest bids were inclined or could
be depended on to take the bonds. An investigation
was accordingly instituted. The result was that the
award was not made until October 5, and then Messrs.
Blake Bros. & Co. and Harvey Fisk & Sons got the
bonds on their bid of 104-819 for all or none. There
were several other b'ds covering the entire issue at
prices one to two points better than that of the suc
cessful bidder, but for the reasons already men
tioned the city officials did not feel justified in con
sidering them. Had the deposit requirement existed,
all this trouble and annoyance would have been
avoided.
No doubt if Brooklyn were to maintain a
separate existence instead of being merged on January
1 with New York in the Greater New York, the city
officials would feel impelled to urge legislative action
to correct this defect, just as Comptroller Fitch did
in the case of this city.
We are perfectly aware that objectionable practices
are not all confined to bidders—that sometimes the
municipalities (usually, however, the smaller ones)
indulge in questionable and reprehensible acts. In
one recent case it appeared that bonds were awarded
and sold three days in advance of the advertised day
for the sale, without notice to any one, and as a
result the municipality it is claimed suffered a loss of
a good many thousand dollars
In another case,
the township authorities contended that tearing the
ends off the envelopes containing the proposals was a
. public opening of the bids, and argued that they were
not obligated to give anv information as to the con
tents of the letters. The effect of this course if
persisted in would have been to make it impossible
to tell what the township had got for the bonds and
whether the award had been to the highest bidder.
Vol. L X Y
As it happened though, in this instance the officials
receded from their position, and made public the
bids.
But these are all matters that must be dealt with by
themselves. They do not in any way bear upon the
necessity for removing the evils arising out of the sub
mission of irresponsible and insincere bids. Latterly
it has become additionally important to put a check
to the practice. There is only too much reason for
thinking that these bond offerings are in many in
stances being availed of to promote advertising
schemes and to hoodwink the public. A certain class
of speculative establishments, not engaged in legiti
mate stock and bond business, have not been slow to
see the advantage that might accrue from having
their names appear as bidders for large issues of
municipal bonds.
In the first place municipal
bonds are a very high class of investment, and to be
known as dealers in them is in itself a passport to
favor. In the second place for a speculative concern
of no credit or capital to have its name linked with
the names of houses of wide credit and large cap
ital, in the list of bidders for an important
issue of bonds, and especially to have its bid recorded
higher than those of these other houses, serves to con
vey the impression, which concerns of that class are
so anxious to encourage, that they hold a high rank
in the financial world and possess ample means, when
they are really financial outcasts and beggar*. They
appeal almost entirely to the patronage of the unin
formed public, and they seek in this way to mislead
and deceive the unwary.
It would seem as if the trick were too transparent
to succeed. But it has become the custom on thepart of the newspapers to publish the list of bidbers in full, and thus the publicity which such parties
seek is readily obtained. On the other hand, when
the award is made the name only of the successful
bidder is usually given, and there is rarely mention o f
the fact that higher bidders have been ruled out or
the reason for such action; or if mention is made the
fact is never given the same .degree of prominence as
the original bid. If by any chance an award should
be made to such a party it would simply decline to
take the bonds on some trivial pretext.
It has sometimes been urged as an objection against
requiring a deposit with proposals, that it places the
bidder completely in the power of the officials of the
municipality offering the bonds for sale—that if it
should be subsequently found that there was some
illegality in the proposed issue, making the bonds in
valid, and the officials refused to pay the money
back, the bidder would have no redress. Of course
this is not thought a likely result in the case
of the larger municipalities, where the standard of
fair-dealing is very high, but it is felt that such
an experience might be possible in the case o f
some of the minor civil divisions in the West and
South. But it seems to us that the ruling of Judge
Hanford in the United States Circuit Court last
spring in the case of the City of Great Falls vs. Theis.
& Foster (in which a claim for the return of a certified
check was sustained) sets at rest any doubts which may
previously have existed as to the power of the bidder
to recover his money, and in face of this decision it
hardly appears probable that municipal officials would
be likely to refuse to return a deposit if the bidder
should be able to show good grounds for impugning
the legality of the issue.

tangible property. But the Court goes further and
says, secondly, a contract is property itself, and like
any other property may be taken under condemnation
proceeding for public uses. Its condemnation is of
course subject to the rule of just compensation.
After noting how the case of Hall vs. Wisconsin, 103
U. S ., 5, differed from the case under review, the
Court says that the true view is that the condemnation
proceedings do not impair the contract, do not break
its obligations, but appropriate it, as they do the
tangible property of the company, to public uses.
The case of West River Bridge Company vs. Dix
(47th United States, 6 How., 507) is referred to as
being precisely in point. In that case it was held that
while it was undeniable that no State can pass a law
impairing the obligation of contracts, yet into all con
tracts, whether made between States and individuals
or betwe n individuals only, there enter conditions
which arise not out of the literal terms of the contract
itself. They are superinduced by the pre-existing and
higher authority of the laws of nature or nations or of
the community to which the parties belong. They are
always presumed, and must be presumed, to be known
and recognized by all, are binding upon all, and need
never, therefore, be carried into express stipulation,
for this could add nothing to. their force. Every con
tract is made in subordination to them and must yield
to their control, as conditions inherent and paramount,
wherever a necessity for their execution shall occur.
Such a condition is the right of eminent domain.
This right does not operate to impair the contract
affected by it, but recognizes its obligation in the full
est extent, claiming only the fulfillment of an essential
and inseparable condition. In the case referred to
a distinction was attempted between the power
to appropriate for public use property which is
corporeal, or may be said to be in being, and the like
power in the Government to resume or extinguish a
franchise. The Court declared that distinction a
refinement which has no foundation in reason, and
one that in truth avoids the true legal or Constitiitional question at issue, namely whether it is possi
ble for private persons in the use or enjoyment of
their private property to control, and actually to
prohibit, the power and duty of the Government to
advance and protect the general good.There is noth
ing peculiar to a franchise, placing it higher or
rendering it more sacred than other property. A
franchise is property and nothing more.
After declaring the views here expressed controlling,
the Court rejects the theory advanced in the present case
that the power of the State to condemn a water-works
system, can depend upon the question whether it
makes the supply of water absolutely free to all individ
uals who desire to use it. The State, which in the first
place has the power to construct a water supply
system and charge individuals for the use of the water,
may condemn a system already constructed and con
tinue to make such charge. It is not essential to a
public use that it be absolutely free and without
charge to any one.
Nor can it be maintained, Jus
tice Brewer says, that tliere was not “ due process of
' law ” in the condemnation proceedings because the
assessment of damages was not made by a jury.
Such award may be made by Commissioners where
there is provision for review of their proceedings in
the courts.
As to whether the Supply Company possessed any
exclusive privileges, the New York Court of
Vol. LXY
Appeals had held that neither the statute under
which the Company was organized nor the con
tract, nor the act of annexation, gave to the
company rights exclusive and beyond the reach of
legislation. These conclusions of the Court of Ap
peals were vigorously challenged, but the Sup erne
Court finds them correct. It says the statute simply
provided for the organization of water companies.
It gave to the company the privilege of laying
its mains in the streets of the town and con
tained a covenant on the part of the town to pay cer
tain hydrant rental. But grants from the public are
strictly construed in favor of the public, and
grants of a privilege are not ordinarily to be taken as
grants of an exclusive privilege.
Another point raised was whether the insertion in
the Annexation Act of the provision giving the city
two years within which to acquire the property (and
which provision was not availed of) made a contract
or created a right beyond the power of the Legislature
to change. The Court says no. The specification o f
time did not operate to prevent the Legislature from
enlarging the time or granting at any subsequent
period a further right of purchase or condemnation.
The act was simply one of legislative discretion in
respect to municipal organization, and like any such,
act subject to future modification by the Legislature.
Nor could the Court see any merit in the claim that
the Act of 1892 (under which the condemnation pro
ceedings were had) was in conflict with the Eederal
Constitution because it failed expressly and in detail
to prescribe the uses to which the property should be
put by the city of Brooklyn after the condem
nation.
Altogether, it willbe seen, the opinion covers a great
variety of points bearing on the main issue, and it
would seem to leave the law respecting the matter
in an easily understood form. We may summarize
the principles established as follows : (1) The con
demnation of a water supply system is within the un
questioned limits of the power of eminent domain.
(2) The power to take a water-works system by
eminent domain for the use of a city under statutory
authority is not taken away by a contract between
the private company owning the works and the munic
ipality.
(3) A contract is property, and like any
other property may be taken under condemnation pro
ceedings for public use. (4) The power of a State to
condemn a water-works system does not depend upon
making the water supply free to all who desire to
use it. (5) Due process of law in condemnation pro
ceedings does not require that the assessment o f
damages shall be made by a jury. (6) There is no
denial of due process of law in making the find
ings of fact, whether by Commissioners or a jury,
final as to such facts. (7) A contract granting to a
water company privilege of laying its mains with a
covenant by the town to pay hydrant rental, is not to
be taken as the grant of an exclusive privilege. (8)
An act for the annexation of territory which gives the
right to purchase or condemn within two years does
not constitute a contract against condemnation after
that time or prevent the Legislature from extending
the time.
(9) A statute authorizing condemnation
is not in conflict with the Federal Constitution because
it fails to expressly prescribe the uses to which the
property shall be put after it is condemned, it being
already used for a public purpose and there being a
a mere change of title.

N o t e 1.—The annual interest charge is com puted u pon the am ount o f outstanding p rincipal at the close o f the fiscal year, and is exclusive
interest charge on Pacific R ailw ay bonds.
N o t e 2.—The figures for July 1 1879 w ere made up assum ing p ending funding operations to have been com pleted.
N o t e 3.—The tem porary loan per act o f July 11 1862 is included in the 4 per cents from 1862 to 1868, inclusive, with the ex cep tion o f the
am ount outstanding August 31 1865 this being the date at which the publio debt reached its highest point. This loan bore interest from 4 p er
cent to 6 p er cent and was redeem able on ten days’ n otice after thirty d ays; but being constantly changing, it has been considered m ore equit
able to include the whole am ount outstanding as bearing 4 per cent interest on an average fo r the year.
P acific R ailroad D ebt.—Twopther classes o f bonded debt must be referred to which have never been included in the
total of Government debt —we mean the Pacific Railroad debt and the Cherokee certificates of indebtedness. To show the
situation of those bonds we have to make compilations of our own, as the Treasury form comes short o ' indicating the
existing situation. First we bring together the details respecting the issues to the Pacific Railroads, giving likewise n
t e statement the debt already paid and the dates at which the ba'ance becomes payable.

Cherokee fonr per cent certificates. The indebtedness upon which these certificates were issued grew out of the purchase
(see act making appropriations, etc., for Indian tribes passed March 3, 1893,) from the Cherokee Indians of certain lands
Known as the Cherokee Outlet, the Government agreeing to pay theretor $8,300,000 in five equal annual instalments, the
first payment to fall dne March 4, 1895. It was likewise provided that the Cherokee Indians might realized upon the princi
pal and interest of the last four annual instalments in case they should deem it more advantageous, etc. In pursuance of
the authority thus granted these Certificates of Indebtedness were issued, payable $1,66'),000 on the 4th day of March, 1896,
-897 1898 and 1899, Of these certificates there are still outstanding $3,320,000, of which $1,660,000 are dne and payable
March 4, 1898, and $1 680,000 March 4, 1899. Rate of interest is 4 per cent, payable annually March 4.

took offset January 2 , 1 8 7 8 , and is in the follow in g form and w ord s:
“ A rticle X X II. Limitation o f M unicipal Indebtedness. No city or tow n

“ purpose o f renewing existing loan*, or fo r war, or to tem porary loans

The ta x rate fo r 1896 was $1-00 per $1,000 for State school
and State highway taxes o f 50 cents each per $1,000, collected
and re-distributed to tow ns on a basis o f the num ber o f schools and
roa d mileage.
D E B T L IM IT A T IO N S .—There appears to be nothing in the Consti
tution or in the Statutes o f Verm ont providing a general limit to the
debt-making pow er o f m unicipalities. W hatever in each case the L eg
islature authorizes, the city, town, coun ty or other civil division can
issue. Of course the purpose o f the iuffrrovement m ust be o f a public
character, as defined in our remarks under this head with regard to
Maine. R ailroad subscriptions by tow ns are authorized by Section
2760, chapter 132 o f the R evised Statutes, the section being as fo llo w s :
S e c t io n 2760. A tow n m ay aid in the construction o f a railroad oranized under the general law by issuing bonds to aid such railroad,
y taking capital stock therein, or in such other manner as it directs,
but the liability so assumed shall not exceed eight times the grand list
o f the tow n at the time. Such aid shall be given in the w ay p rovided
in this chapter.
It will be noticed that this section contains a lim it to the p ow er
granted o f m aking subscriptions in aid o f railroads—to w it: That the
subscriptions shall not exceed eight times “ the grand list.” To ev olve
the “ grand lis t” in Vermont, the. authorities first prepare a schedule of
all the property, real and personal, o f each individual, with valuations
entered at their real value in m oney, deducting debts o w in g ; after this
is done ‘‘ the grand lis t ” is m ade up by taking one per cent o f that
am ount, according to Section 317, Chapter 25, o f the R evised Statutes,
w hich is as follow s: “ All taxable property shall be set in the list at one
“ per cent of its value in m oney on the first day o f A pril o f the year
** in w hich the list is m ade.”
Follow ing Section 2760, above cited, w hich authorizes subscriptions
in aid o f railroads, are other sections describing the m ethod in which
these subscriptions m ust be made, by calling a tow n meeting, voting,
Ac., &c. Then follow s Section 2766, authorizing the issue o f bonds.
Section 2766. Such tow n m ay issue bonds, with coupons payable
semi-annually, at a rate o f interest not exceeding seven per cent, to
aid such road.
f
Vol. LXY
The only other general authority granted for the issue o f bonds by
m unicipal corporations in Verm ont is that given for refunding out
standing bonds and notes. The Sections which grant this p ow er are
Sections 2769, 2775 and 2776, Chapter 132 o f the R evised Statutes,
Sections 2769 and 2776 are as follow s:
Section 2769. A tow n w hich has outstanding and unpaid negotiable
notes or bonds, issued to pay for stock subscribed to a railroad com
pany, under any act of the general assembly, m ay issue other nego
tiable notes or bonds to pay or retire such outstanding notes or bonds.
Section 2,775. A tow n having outstanding and unpaid orders, notes*
bonds or coupons, issued under any act o f the Legislature, for the pur
pose o f the erection o f public buildings, or in aid of public im prove
ments, or for the paym ent o f soldiers’ bounties, m ay issue oth er
negotiable notes o r bonds for the purpose o f retiring the outstanding
orders, notes, bonds and coupons, in the same manner that it m ay issue
new notes or bonds to p ay or retire outstanding notes or bonds issued
in aid o f a railroad; and the powers, restrictions, duties and liabilities
o f the tow n and tow n officers in the m atter shall bo the same as is
provided by law in the case o f the refunding by a tow n o f town bonds
issued in aid o f a railroad; and the interest on such new notes or bonds
shall be provided for in the same mauuer.
B y Section 2776 m unicipal corporations other than tow ns have th e
same refunding pow ers granted them which are conferred u pon tow ns
by the two sections last a bove cited.
The only other section which we need quote is Section 2751 o f
Chapter 130, w hich names the objects fo r which towns m ay vote m oney.
If m oney is appropriated fo r any other object, the Charter or a special
statute m ust be looked to for the authority.
S e c t io v 2751.—Tow ns in tow n meetings m ay vote such sums o f
m oney as they ju dge necessary for the support o f the poor ; for lay in g
out and repairing highw ays; for the prosecution and defense o f th e
com m on rights and interests o f the inhabitants, and for other necessa ry
incidental tow n expenses.
POPULATION OF S T A T E .—A ccording to the first census (1790) t h e
population o f V erm ont was 85,425, o f which 44,756 were m ales, 40,39 8
were fem ales and 271 free colored. The total in 1800 was 4 5 4 ,4 6 5 .

SAVINGS BANKS IN V E ST M E N T S-P R IV IL E G E S AND RE
STR ICTIO N S.—A single change w ith reference to savings banks
investm ents was m ade in 1896 and another in 1894. Im portant
changes were m ade in 1892 in the provisions in fo rce regulating and
restricting the investm ent and loaning o f the deposits. The w h ole
enactm ent on the subject as the sections now stand is contained in
the law s o f 1884 am ended in 1888, again am ended in 1892 and
further am ended in 1894 and 1896. In the year 1884 all p rev iou s
legislation respecting savings banks was collated and revised in and
by an act entitled “ A n A c t relating to Savings B anks and Trust Com
panies ” In 1888 and again in 1892 the m ore im portant sections re*
lating to investm ents w ere amended. In 1894 on ly Section 26 was
changed, w hich fixes the portion o f the deposits a savings bank m ay
put into a lot and building. In 1896 the only enactm ent was one p ro
viding that the capital o f Savings Banks and Trust Companies be m ade
subject to the same law s o f investm ent that already con trol their
surplus and d ep osits; this act o f 1896 does n ot apply to investm ents
already m ade until January 1, 1889.
In the follow in g citations we have com bined the legislation o f the
fou r years on the subject o f investm ents, and therefore present the
law in the particulars m entioned as it exists to-day.
The first section having reference to investm ents is S ection 23, w hich
treats o f real estate mortgages. We need not cite the section in full. I t
authorizes the investm ent of 70 p.c. o f the assets in such m ortgages, onesixth at least o f w hich “ shall be upon real estate in this State ’ ’—that is
Vermont. A proviso adds that only 50 per cent o f the assets m ay be
invested in m ortgages on real estate outside o f Vermont. S ection 24
relates only to obtaining and paying for insurance. Section 25 is as
follow s and has reference to investm ents on personal security.
Section 25—No loans or investments on personal security shall be
made except upon at least two approved names, not less than two of
whom reside in this State or within fifty miles of the institution making
such investment, and such personal loans or investments shall not be
for a longer time than one 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 26 only covers a single point, that is to say it restricts to
five per cent (this read three per cent until the change in 1894) o f the
deposits the am ount w hich a savings bank m ay invest in the lot and
building fo r the transaction o f its bu siness; then the law o f 1894 adds
that a revenue m ay be derived from portions o f the building n ot required
for the bank’s use. The n ext section (Section 27) covers the m ost im
portant o f the p rovisions relating to investm ents that are contained iD
thelaw. We give the section in full below. The separation into paragraphs
and the figures in parenthesis which number and begin the paragraphs are
our own, we having inserted them so that those who need to refer to or use
any particular portion o f the section can the m ore readily find the part
desired. With lliat exception w e give the section as it reads and was
passed, preserving even the punctuation.
Section 27 (as amended by the Laws o f 1892;—With the foregoin g
exceptions, the m oneys deposited in Savings’ Banks, Savings’ Instit li
tmus and Trust Companies, and the incom e therefrom , shall be invest ed
only as fo llo w s :

The am ount o f loan which can lie made to one person o r corporation,

D E B T L IM IT A T IO N S.—There seems to he no provision in the C on
stitution o f Massachusetts lim iting the p ow er of the Legislature to
’ create State indebtedness, or lim iting its pow er to authorize m unioipal
ndebtedness. Statutes general and special have, how ever, been passed
on this subject w ith respect to Cities and Towns.
First am ong these Statutes needing m ention we have Chapter 2 9 o f
the R evised or “ Publie Statutes.” The im portant sections to he cited
contained in Chapter 29 are as follow s. We give only the substance
o f the sections, not the words.
Section 1—Provides that cities and towns shall not incur debt
except in the manner and within the limitations prescribed in this
chapter.
Section 2—Provides (as a preliminary for determining whether the
limitation lixed by Section 4 has been reached by any municipality)
that the water debt and the sinking funds shall he deducted from the
total debt.
October, 1897.
M^S6^CttUS£TT8-JJ£BT
S ection 3—Provides that the first 17 sections o f chapter 29 shall not
apply to debts Incurred in aid o f railroads, to water scrip Issued under
special statutes, or to Indebtedness tor a lire district.
S e c t io n 4 —Provides that no city o r tow n ex cept as p rovid ed in the
following section shall become indebted in an amount which exceeds 3
p e r cent on the last preceding valuation, ■
Section 5—Provides that cities and towns w hich were indebted on
the 13th day o f June, 1875. to an am ount not less than 2 per cent on
valuation fo r that year m ay Mincrease such indebtedness to the exten t
“ o f an additional one per cent on that valuation and n o m ore.”
S ection B Provides that cities, dee., “ m ay b y ordin ary rote incur
—
debts for tempory loans ” In anticipation of the year's taxes and of the
year's taxes n e x t ensuing.
S ection 7—-Provides that other debts than those referred to in
section 6 shall be incurred o n ly b y a vote o f two-thirds o f the voters
present at a tow n meeting, o f t wo-thirds o f ail the members o f each
branch o f the city council, and approved b y the M ayor; o r if the M ayor
disapproves, by another like vote a fter notice o f such disapproval.
S e c t io n 8—
-Provides that debts incurred fo r w ater must be payable
within 30 years; in constructing sewers within 20 years; all other debts
within 1 0 years.
S ections 9 to 17 inclusive, contain interesting provisions relating to
sinking funds and other allied m atters
SECTION IS —Provides that any city which at a m eeting o f its voters
ha* fweepted by a two*thirds vote any a ct to supply said city with
water, m ay b y a v ote o f a
o f the. m embers o f each branch o f
th e city cou n cil o&ntraot debts- and Im m bend# fo r the purpose.
S e c t io n 19—P rovides that towns. Ae., shall n ot increase their debt
by subscriptions in aid o f railroads beyond 3 per cen t o f va lu a tion ; but
the limitation o f this section shall not apply to tem porary loans menHoned: in Section 0,
S ections 2 0 to 23, which are the final ones o f Chapter 29, have no
reference to the settgeef w e are discussing and need not he cited.
As the reader has seen, the foregoing (Section 4* Chapter 29) fixes the
general debt lim itation for cities and towns- at & p e r cent.
This general lim itation w m low ered b y a later law. The p ro vision, is
found in Chapter 312, Section 2 o f the ** Public Statutes/* which provi
sion reduces- the general debt limitation from 3 percent to 2H p er
cen t on the average valuation for the preceding three years. Worcester,
Lynn* Gloucester and Brockton an* In the same Section exempted from
the operation of the Section until January 1, 1889—later than 1889 the
o n ly exemptions we find In the Btmtntm are special In their purpose,
not general.

Note .—F or debts o f minor civil divisions not fou n d among the state

The relation which the towns, cities and boroughs o f this State boar
to one another is peculiar, and requires a w ord o f explanation. The
8 tate is divided into eight counties, and these counties are made up o f
towns, numbering in the aggregate 167. The towns are the civil unit,
and on the assessed valuation (which is called the “ Grand List; o f each
tow n ” is levied the tax for State purposes as well as the tax fo r tow n
expenditures. Within the tow n 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
tow n in which it lies. Of late several tow ns and cities whose limits
w ere about identical have been consolidated and the outstanding
bonds o f both town and city are reported together w ithout distinction.
This is the case with the city and tow n o f H artford, which previous to
April, 1896, reported their debts separately. The city and tow n o f
New London have been consolidated and also Bridgeport city and
tow n. In general, however, tow n and city are distinct, New Haven
city, for instance, m aking no mention in its financial report o f the debt
o f New Haven tow n, though there is but little difference in the extent
o f town and city.
The borough stands in about the same relation to the tow n as does
the city. The grand list as determined for the tow n is used by both the
city and the borough in levying taxes, the city, for instance, putting a
ta x o f its ow n on its share o f the total grand list o f the town. This tax
is additional to the town tax. In some instances the schools are in the
charge o f school districts, w hich 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 w e give under one heading the
town and city, wherever they bear the same name, for though distinct
corporations, their debts are to a greater or less extent the debts o f a
single comm unity.

etc., o f the entire State, see State and Cit y S upplement o f A pril,

HISTORY OF D E B T .—New Jersey has always been a conservative
State; there are consequently no facts out o f which to construct a his
tory o f debt issues. In a report m ade in 1838 the financial officer o f
the State affirmed that New Jersey had p ut out no obligations o f a n y
kind or loaned its credit t o any com pany. The C onstitution o f 1844
forbade the creating o f a State debt exceeding one hundred thousand dol
lars except fo r purposes o f war, &c., as w ill m ore fully appear iu the
item below with respect to “ debt lim itation.” This exception, under
which t was allow able to exceed the hundred-tliousand-dollar lim it
became operative on the occasion o f the breaking out o f our Civil W ar.
Quite a debt was created at that period and what the State n ow owes
is the remnant o f those w ar issues. The details o f this debt arc as fo l
lows.

Jersey City form erly suffered greatly from difficulty in collecting
taxes and assessments. Under the Martin Act, how ever, passed
som e years ago by the Legislature,* arrears o f taxes are made liens on
the property, and if n ot paid within three years the property can be
sold to satisfy them. The c ity has also succeeded in adjusting the taxes
w ith the railroads, and the latter now p ay into the treasury about
$225,000 annually. In 1897 the T ax Commissioners o f the city made
an estim ate o f the city property owned and put the total vaiue at $4,250,000. The figures below fo r 1896 and 1895 give the old valuation
and did n ot include property acquired in recen t years. Jersey City is
in Hudson County.

This township is in Passaic County. A bout tw o years ago the village
of Pom pton proper was voted into a borough which com prised about
one-third o f the assessed valuation o f the tow nship o f Pom pton. This
caused the difference in assessed valuation from 1895. B y agreem ent
it is expected that the borough w ill care for one-third o f the bon ded
debt o f the township; consequently the figures fo r the total debt
should be as given below.

fSDWSYiVAlMA— CITIES M l * TOWNS,
Section 6. The credit of the Commonwealth shall not be pledged or
loaned to ant individual, company, corporation or association, nor
shall the Commonwealth become a joint-owner or stockholder in any
c o m p a n y , association or corporation.
S ection 11. To provide forthe payment of the present 8tate debt, and
any additional debt contracted as aforesaid, the General Assembly
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 thousand dollars;
the said sinking fund shall consist of the proceeds of the sales of the
public works, or any part thereof, aud of the income or proceeds of the
sale of any stocks owned by the Commonwealth, together with other
funds and resources that may 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 insur
rection, no part of the said sinking fund shall be used or applied other
wise than in the extinguishment of the public debt.
Section 12. The moneys of the State, over and above the necessary re
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

meanor, and shall lie punished as nmy be provided by law; tmt part of
such punishment shall be dlsquuliffcutmn to bold office for a period of
not less than five year*.
State loans In Pennsylvania, whether created for original indebted
ness or authorized to fnnd existing Indebtedness, are usually negoti.
alod through the Governor and Commissioner* of the sinking fund.
The last act of the Pennsylvania Legislature authorizing a public
loan was the act of June 8 ,18 8 1, when a thirty-year loan was effected
to fond existing Indebtedness at a lower rate of interest.
The earliest date at which the last of the existing indebtedness of
Pennsyivanla will mature I# February i, 1012, and under existingar
rangementa the accumulations in the sinking fund will at that time
pay the total State indebtedness.
12} County and M unicipal Indebtedness .—Under the laws of
Pennsylvania the power to create county loans is in the Board of
-County Commissioners, which consists tn each countv of three persons,
elected tri-enniaUy under the minority system of voting, by which
the minority party in each County usually has one member of the Board
In cities and boroughs the power to create indebtedness is vested tn
Connells, municipal debts being created by ordinance.
The creation of county, city and other municipal indebtedness Is
•abject to the following constitutional limitations.
A m c u l I X , Bee, 7, The General Assembly shall not authorize any
county, city, borough, township or incorporated district to become a
stockholder Iti any company, association or corporation, or to obtain or
appropriate money for, or to loan it* Credit to, any corporation, assort
•tum, institution or Individual.
S te n o x 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 at the taxable property therein, nor shall any such
mantel paltry or district incur any now debt, or increase Its indebted
ness tet an atnOitnt exceeding two per centum upon shell assessed
valuation of ptojmrty, without the assent o f the elector* thereof at a
public election tn mwh manner as shall be provided bylaw'; but any
-city the debt of which now exceeds seven per centum of such u*Ae**ed
valuation «n»y be authorized by law to increase the same three per
centum, in the aggregate at any otto-time, upon »uch valuation.
HECTUiN 9. The Commonwealth shall not assume the debt, or any
part thereof, of any 'city, ruuuiy, borough

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 re fen-ed to above reported in 1890 that they held $63,957,341 of
deposits. In 18S9 a general law, facilitating the incorporation of sav
ings 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. 17, 1896, being 17, with deposits aggregating
$77,429,348.
. The provisions of the special charters are all liberal as to investtments, A law passed in 1885. and a supplement of the same passed
n 1889, authorizing the extension for twenty years of special charers, contains the following,
"P ro ra ted also, that no * * * Savings Institution or Savings
Bank having no capital stock, renewing or extending Its charter,
corporate rights and franchises, under the provisions of this act, shall
thereafter lie 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 bonds of any county, city, borough, town
ship or school district within this commonwealth, or any other good
ana valid securities.’ ’
Authority to loan on any " good and valid security ” appears to con
fer about as broad a discretion upon the managers as could be
expressed in a statute.
It was not until 1889, as already stated, that a general law facili
tating 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; wo would especially direct
attention to subdivision four of tills section:
S ection 17.—It shall Ik- lawful for the trustees of any savings bank
to invest money deposited therein only a* followg:
(l.i In the stock* or Itond* or interest-bearing notes or tlm obliga
tion* of the United State*, or those for which the faith of ttie United
States is pledged to provide for the payment of the interest and the
principal.
(2) tn the stocks or bond* of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
bearing interest.
!3> In the stocks or bond* of any State in the Union that has not
within ten year* previous to making such Investments, by such corpo
ration, defaulted ill the payment of any part of cither principal or interr.Ht ot any debt authorized by any Legislature of such State to be
contracted.
(4) In tin- 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 interi-t-h.-aring obligation issued by the
city or county in which such batik shall lie situated.
(31 In lmnds and mortgage-* on unincumbered, improved real estate,
situated in till* State,
It will be noted that according to the foregoing (subdivision
four), Pennsylvania Saving* Bank* are allowed to invest their
deposit* tn the bonds and stock* of any city, county town or village in
any of the United State*. Furthermore, by the fifth subdivision bonds
and mortgage* arc left to the disc ration of the trustees in all purchase*,
except that they must Ik- first mortgage.* on Improved real estate in
Pennsylvania. The next section (1*1 relates to the temporary deposit
of fnnd* in bank* and tnmt oompa&ies. The form of the section Is
almost precisely the same a* the similar section in 1lie New York
statute, and it 1* consequently unnecessary to cite it In full here.

Philadelphia, co-extensive with the county of the same name, is the
third city of the United States, has an area of over 130 square miles
and includes a number of places which have almost the character of
separate towns. The county is under city control and has no separate
debt. In the following table the various issues of bonds under the
general heads, Taxed City Loan and Untaxed City Loan, are given in
the order of their dates of maturitv.
N o t e .—The city is contemplating the issue of $ 1 2 ,2 0 0 ,0 0 0 bonds for
various purposes, but theie has been much doubt as to the legal steps
necessary to this end. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court having de
cided against the right < f the city to issue the bonds without a vote of
>
the people, and a bill intended to legalize the issue having been vetoed
by the Governor, it has been finally decided to have the people pass on
the question at the election in November. See Ch r o n ic l e , May 8,
1897, page 911 ; May 15, 1 8 97, page 965 : June 5, i8 9 7 , page 1102 ;

DEBT LIMITATION.—Neitherthe new Constitution (adopted June

general provisions authorizing bond issues or limiting the debt-making
power, except that the new Constitution—
fl) Forbids the State (Article 8, Sec. 3) to borrow money or create
debt, “but pursuant to an Act of the General Assembly passed with
the concurrence of three-fourths of all the members elected to each
House, except to supply casual deficiencies, repel invasion, suppress
insurrections, defend the State in war or pay existing debts.”
(2) Forbids any county, city, town or other municipality (Article 8,
Sec. Si to "lend its iTedi! oi appropriate money to, or assume the debt
of. or become a shareholder or joint owner In, or with, any private
corporation or any person or company whatever."
(3) Forbids any corporation (Article 9, Sec. 1) to be created, eto., by
special act, “ but only by or under general law” ; "but the foregoing
provisions shall not apply to municipal corporations, banks,” eto.
Tlte above indicates that the authority as regards municipalities (ex
cept as already specified in number (2)) rests with the General
Assembly, and the General Assembly always passes special acts to
provide for special occasions and neeuB.

POPULATION OF STATE.—Maryland has greatly increased her
population since the inauguration of the Federal Government,
though necessarily she has not gained as fast as some other States
particularly the newer Western States, and consequently has had to
yield in rank to them. In 1790 the population was reported 319,728,
and in 1800 341,548. In 1840 we find it 470,019. In 1890 the total
passed the million mark, an increase during the century of consider
ably over 200 per cent.
1890............1,042,390 1860.............. 687,049 1830.............. 447,040
1880..............934,943 1850..............583,034 1820...............407,350
1870..............780,894 1840....,....... 470,019 1810.............. 380,546
Of the total population in 1880 22*49 per cent was colored and in
1890 20*92 per cent. In number, blacks were 165,091 in 1850;
171,131 in 1860; 175,391 in 1870; 210,230 in 1880; and 218,004 in 1880.
S A V IN G S B A N K S IN V E S T M E N T S . — There are in this State gen
eral banking laws under which savings banks maybe organized, and
yet. we notice that even in 1890 a special charter was granted incorpor
ating the Germania Savings Bank of Baltimore. However, in both the
general and special laws there appears to be a pretty general authority
granted for investing the deposits. The general law states that—
Any savings institution incorporated under this article shall be
capable of receiving from any person or persons, or bodies corporate or
politic, any deposit of money w h ich sh a ll be in vested o r lo a n ed o u t on
go o d s ec u rity in the d iscretio n o f the d ire c to rs ; provided that n o p a r t of
the funds of said corporation sh a ll be lo a n ed to a n y o fficer o r d irecto r 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 secion referring to that subject states that the “ corporation shall have
“ power to borrow money, receive money on deposit, loan money
* ta k in g su ch s ec u rity th erefo r, eith er r e a l o r p er s o n a l, a s the B o a rd o f
* D irecto rs m a y deem su ffic ie n t; provided that n o p a r t of the funds of
“ said corporation sh a ll be lo a n ed to a n o fficer o r d irecto r thereof.”
We cannot discover any marked difference in the two provisions
cited, except that the enactment in the case of the new Baltimore bank
states distinctly that the security can be either real or personal. But as
much as that would, we think, be assumed as authorized under the gen
eral provision, since no limit is made and loaning on bond and mortgage
s always a legitimate part of the business of savings banks.

adoption of the Constitution of 1851 the whole situation in these par
ticulars has changed, the legislative power with respect to the State
having been limited. The same is in large measure true also of the
muni cipalities.
F IR S T , A s to the State1 p o w e r to co n tra ct debt, this is regulated under
s
the first five 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 ex cep
tio n to the foregoing; it grants the power to contract debt in case of in
vasion, 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.
S ection 1. [D eb t lim ited to sev en h u n d red a n d f i f t y th o u sa n d d o lla rs ].
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
different 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 which it was obtained or to
re-pay the debts so contracted and to no other purpose whatever.
S ectio n 2. [A d d itio n a l a n d f o r w h at p u r p o s e .] In addition to the
above limited power the State may contract debts to repel invasion,
suppress insurrection, defend the State in war, or to redeem the present
outstanding indebtedness of the State; but the money arising from the
contracting of such debts shall be applied to the purpose for which it
was raised, or to re-pay such debts, and [to no other purpose whatever;
and all debts incurred to redeem the present outstanding indebt
edness of the State shall be so contracted as to be payable by the

October, 189 7
t w o —cities
One at first sight would infer from section 6 article 9 above cited that
cities could not subscribe to the stock of or loan money to railroads, as
railroads are corporations and joint-stock companies. That, however,
Is not a correct conclusion, as was decided In the case of Walker es. The
City of Cincinnati, a case which arose under an act of the General
Assembly of Ohio entitles! " An Act relating to cities of the first class,’ >
authorizing any such city to construct a line of railroad therefrom to
any other terminus in that State or in any other State. In
pursuance of the authority that act purports to give, Cincinnati
undertook to build the Cincinnati Southern Railroad. To test the legal
ity of that proceeding this action was brought. The Court's opiuion is
verv full and explicit, the conclusion being that from “ the language
" of the section it is unite evident that it was not intended to prohibit
“ the construction o f railroads n or indeed to proh ibit a n y species o f
• public improvements. The Section contains no direct reference to
•
“ railroads nor to any other special classes of Improvements or enter.
“ prises. The Inhibitions are directed oniy against a particular manner
** or means by which under the Constitution of 1902 many public improvementa 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 elaborate classification of municipal corporations. First they
are divided into cities, villages and hamlets. Then cities are divided
into two classes, the first class being subdivided Into three grades and
the second class being subdivided into four grade*, the grade being
determined by population according to the last Federal Census.
Cities iu the FiasT Class—First grade includes all cities of more than
200.000 Inhabitants; second grade all less than 200.000 and more than
90.000 Inhabitant*; third grade all lea* than 90,000 and more than 31,
500 Inhabitants.
Cities In the SkCOXD Class— First grade Inolude* all cities of less than
31.500 and more than 30.500 Inhabitant-: second grade all less, than
30.500 anil more than 20,000 inhabitants; third grade all less than
80.000 and more than 10,000 inhabitants; fourth grade all leas than
10.000 and more than 5.000 Inhabitant*.
Vtr.niJK*—Of the first class include all having less than 5,000 and
more than 3,000 inhabitant*; the second class includes all having less
than 3,000 and more titan 200 inhabitants.
H i Xusts—According to section 1550 of the Keeled Statute* all ex
isting corporations organize,! as ‘•incorporated village* for special
" purpose* «hail be hamlet* until advanced to Village*.*’
it Is tinpossible to make any tattrfhBttty gwoaratitatkm with regard
to the bonding povror the Legislature ha* granted these municipalities.
Them are a few sections of the Revised statute* authorizing bond
issue* Which have, a universal application, «<i<-h a* tin* provision
granting jutwer to Issue bonds in ’antieipasi**n of -peciai
.. i.imuit*
but most o f the laws for that purpose cover only one class of cities, and
many of then; are so worded a# to apply only to one city, and granting
an Issue of !»md.* for a Specific purpose. No general laws limiting the
powers of municipalities to lanir indebtedness have been passed, al
though section 0, Article 1 :1 , appears; to rnjttire ; 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 oryam sstlion o f cities, Ac*" t

D E B T L IM IT A T IO N .—In the present Constitution of Indiana, which
went into effect November 1 ,18 5 1, superseding the Constitution adopted
in 1816, there are explicit provisions limiting the power of both the
State and its municipalities to contract debt.
F IR S T , a s to the Stale, Section 5 of article 10 provides that no debt
except to meet casual deficits in revenue, to pay interest, to repel inva
sion &c. can be contracted. Tlie section in full is subjoined.
Creation of D ebt Forbidden .—No law shall authorize any debt tqbe
contracted on behalf of the State except in the following cases: To
meet casual deficits in the revenue; to pay interest on the State debt;
to repel invasion, suppress insurrection, or, if hostilities be threatened,
. provide for the public defense.
In the sixth section of the same article the last clause prohibits the
assumption by the State of the debts of any municipality or corporation
The clause referred to reads as follows.
Nor shall the General Assembly over , on behalf of the State assume
the debts of any county, city, town or township, nor of any corporation
whatever.
Vol. L X V
S E C O N D , a s to m u n icip a lities, the provision contained in the
Constitution seems to be equally clear and emphatic, and, as will be
found, fixes the limit at 2 per cent of the valuation. It is article 13 of
that instrument which relates to this subject, and we give the article in
full below.
L im it e d — E xcess V oid .— No political or municipal corporation
in this State shall ever become indebted in any manner or for any pur
pose to an amount in the aggregate exceeding two per centum on the
valuation of the taxable property within such corporation, to be ascer
tained by the last assessment for State and County taxes previous to
the incurring of such indebtedness; and all bonds or obligations in
excess of such amount given by such corporation shall be void; P ro vid ed , That in time o f war, foreign invasion, or other great public
calamity, on petition of a majority of the property owners in number
and value, within the limits of such corporation, the public authorities
in their discretion may incur obligations necessary for the public pro
tection and defense to such an amount as may be requested in such
petition.
T H IR D , co u n ties (but no other kind of municipality) are prohibited
from subscribing for any stock in a corporation unless paid for at time
of such subscription. The section which covers this subject is section 6
of article 10, and is as follows.
Counties cannot take stock. No county shall subscribe for stock in
any incorporated company unless the same be paid for at the time of
such subscription; nor shall any county loan its credit to any incor
porated company, nor borrow money for the purpose of taking stock in
any such company; nor shall the General Assembly ever on behalf of
the State assume the debts of any county, city, town or township, nor of
any corporation whatever.
The prohibition which this section contains applies, as already stated^
only to counties. Consequently the Legislature was at liberty to author
ize cities to subscribe to the stock of railroads, as it did by a general
law passed in 1867 granting the power to subscribe to the stock of any
railroad running into or through any city or near its corporate limits.
Other laws of a somewhat similar character have been passed at other
dates. We notice one law too which authorizes counties bordering on
the State line to subscribe for railroad stock and to issue bonds for the
purpose of paying the subscription. In view of the above section
this grant of power extended to counties would seem to be at least
questionable.
C O U N T IE S a re a p p a re n tly restricted by statute to a lower than the
Constitutional limit of 2 per cent in the matter of creating debt. For
instance, Section 5,749 of the Revised Statutes authorizes any county
to issue bonds when necessary to construct, complete or repair court
house, jail or other county buildings, or to fund existing debt; in those
cases county commissioners may borrow for that purpose not exceed
ing 1 per cent on assessed valuation and issue bonds therefore,
S in k in g f u n d for payment of bonds must be provided by levying a tax
of not less than one-tenth of one per cent on the taxable property of the
county in addition to a specific levy to provide for interest. (See Re
vised Statutes, Section 5,753).
L im it o f o n e p e r een t may be exceeded in counties where construction
of court house was begun before January, 1885, and where the ordinary
revenues, together with 1 per cent of the taxable property, are not suffi
cient for completion—in such cases, and where the exigencies absolutely
demand it, bonds not to exceed 1 per cent of valuation in addition to
previous debt may be issued.
L im it o f o n e p e r cen t ca n n o t be exceeded excep t f o r tem p o ra r y lo a n s in
any county having a voting population of twenty thousand; temporary
loans are authorized in anticipation of revenue for current fiscal year,
payable out of such revenue within such fiscal year, and not for exceed,
ing two-thirds of the tax duplicate of such, the preceding year; but no
temporary loans are permissible until all temporary loans upon the
revenue of any preceding year have been paid. Any ordinance, orderf
resolution, obligation, contract, note or other evidence of indebtedness
to increase the debt of such county shall be absolutely null and void.—
(See Revised Statutes, Section 5,818.
In addition to the foregoing, general statutes have been passed by the
Legislature granting general powers to cities and towns of fifteen
thousand inhabitants 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, &c.

DEBT LIMITATION.—No State has developed a greater repugnance
to the creatingof debt than Illinois, if we may judge from the provisions
of Its present. Constitution. We say developed, because tills antagonism
W E S T I N D I A N A P O L I S . — Marion county.
This city has been annexed to Indianapolis and debt assumed by the has apparently been progressive. Nothing of it is to be found In the
Constitution of 1818. The Constitution of 1843 contains no reference

$ W £ M B CITY S U f f lE M M T .
to municipalities, but has in it stringent restrictions limiting to $50,000
the power of the Legislature to create State debt, except in case of war,
invasion, etc., unless the law proposing the issue of bonds is submitted
to a vote of the people. But turning to the Constitution of 1870 we find
the whole subject of debt-making most thoroughly considered and its
basis settled.
FIRST, as to the Stale, the provisions are not very unlike the provis
ions of the Constitution of 1848, except that as to the limit for casual de
ficits and failures of revenue, the aggregate which can bo created is very
properly raised to $250,000. But with that exception and with the
further exception for the purpose of repelling invasion etc. no debt
can be contracted unless the law is submitted to a vote of the people at
a general election, which law must contain a provision for the payment
of interest as it accrues, and previous notice of the election be given by
publication for three months prior to such election. These last two
restrictions as to interest and notice of election are only found in the
1870 Constitution. The sections whioh cover these matters are as fol
lows; we omit the first portion of Section 18, which relates only to
appropriations and payment of appropriations out of funds belonging
to the State:
Section 18. * * * * *
Provided, the State may, to meet casual
deficits or failures in revenues, contract debts never to exceed in the ag
gregate $250,000; and moneys thus borrowed shall be applied to the
purpose for which they were obtained, or to pay the debt thus created,
and to no other purpose; and no other debt except for the purpose of
repelling invasion, suppressing insurrection or defending the State in
war (for payment of which the faith of the State shall be pledged), shall
be contracted, unless the law authorizing the same shall at a general
election have been submitted to the people, and have received a majority
of the votes cast for members of the General Assembly at such election.
The General Assembly shall provide for the publication of said law for
three months at least before the vote of the people shall be taken upon
the same; and provision shall be made at the time for the payment of
the interest annually as it shall accrue, by a tax levied for the purpose
or from other sources of revenue; which law, providing for the payment
of such interest bv such tax, shall be irrepealable until such debt be
paid: A nd provid ed fu rth er, that the law levying the tax shall be sub
mitted to the people with the law authorizing the debt to be contracted.
S ection 20. The State shall never pay assume or become responsible
for the debts or liabilities of, or in any manner give, loan, or extend
its credit to or in aid of any public or other corporation, association or
individual.
Nothing needs to be added in explanation of the foregoing. The pro
visions seem to be explicit and to guard most wisely the creation of
State debt,
SECOND, m unicipal indebtedness is regulated only in the Constitution
of 1870. In that instrumentthesubject is dealt with in all its phases. First
isaprovision in Article 8, Section 3, forbidding the General Assembly and
every municipality from making any appropriation in aid of any sec
tarian purpose. Second is a “ separate section ” forbidding any such
municipality from becoming a subscriber to the stock of any railroad
&c. or to loan its credit. Third is the broad and general provision,
Section 12, Article 9, which limits the indebtedness of all municipali
ties to 5 per cent “ on the value of the taxable property therein,” &o
We give these sections below:
A rticle 8, Section 3. Neither the General Assembly nor any county
city, town, township, school district, or other public corporation, shal
ever make any appropriation, or pay from any public fund whatever,
anything in aid of any church or sectarian purpose, or to help support
or sustain any school, academy, seminary, college, university, or other
literary or scientific institution controlled by any church or sectarian
denomination whatever; nor shall any grant or donation of land, money
or other personal property ever be made by the State, or any such public
corporation, to any church or for any sectarian purpose.
A rticle 9, Section 12. No county, city, township, school district or
other mimicipal corporation shall be allowed to become indebted in any
manner or for any purpose, to an amount; including existing indebted
ness, in the aggregate exceeding five per centum on the value of the
taxable property therein, to be ascertained by the last assessment for
State and county taxes, previous to the incurring of such indebtedness.
Any county, city, school district or other municipal corporation incur
ring any indebtedness as aforesaid shall before, or at the time of doing
so, provide for the collection of a direct annual tax sufficient to pay the
interest on such debt as it falls due, and also to pay and discharge the
principal thereof within twenty, years from the time of contracting the
same. This section shall not bo construed to prevent any county, city,
township, school district, or other municipal corporation, from issuing
their bonds in compliance with any vote of the people which may have
been had prior to the adoption of this Constitution m pursuance of any
law providing therefor.
S e p a r a t e Sections. [Municipal subscriptions to railroads etc.] No
county, city, town, township or other municipality shall ever become
subscriber to the capital stock of any railroad or private corporation, or
make donation to or loan its credit in aid of such corporation, provided,
however, that the adoption of this article shall not be construed as affect
ing the right of any such municipality to make such subscriptions
where the same have been authorized, under existing laws, by a vote of
the people of such municipalities prior to such adoption.
The foregoing limitation to 5 per cent is general, as will be seen—tha^
Is, it applies to all municipalities. With this limitation preserved the
Legislature has passed general laws authorizing the city council in
cities and the board of trustees in villages to issue bonds for corporate
purposes, for refunding and consolidating debt, for water works, etc.;
and the county board of any county has been authorized by general
statute to issue, when it deems it necessary, county bonds, after sub
jecting the matter to the legal voters of the county at a general election,
at which a majority vote is required as a prerequisite of the issue. In
all these general laws, however, it is provided, according to Section 12,
Article 9, of the Constitution, that in no case must the aggregate in
debtedness exceed five per cent of the taxable property therein.
I mprovement B onds.—There is a kind of improvement bond author,
ized in some cases which is made a special lien on the land benefltted
and to which the 5 per cent limit- has no reference. We refer to cases
which come under the law entitled “ To divide cities and villages subject
** to overflow into improvement districts.” This statute provides that
any such city or village or part thereof may be laid off into an improve
ment district for the purpose of draining, raising the grade of the streets
and improving the district; that after the cost for the work has been
ascertained and been assessed, the assessment may be paid in instal
ments or otherwise and such city or village may issue bonds sufficient
to pay the assessment. In that case the bonds are a lien
on the lots, blocks or parts thereof whioh shall be designated
Vol. L X Y
therein; but before the issue the owner of the lots, etc., to be
charged must endorse upon the back of such bond his consent
imder seal, in substance as follows: “ I hereby indorse the within bond
" and consent that the lot or lots or parts thereof therein designated
“ shall become liable for the interest and principal therein named and
“ the same shall be a lien upon said property from this date until paid
“ off and discharged.” The bond when executed by the city or village
and so endorsed by the owner shall be recorded in the recorder’s office
in the county, and such record shall be a notice of the lien created to the
same extent as the record of mortgages is a notice.
We have room to give only this very brief and imperfect outline of this
statute. The whole law will be found in the Revised Statutes of Illinois,
the 1889 edition, page 303. To understand the real cause and occasion
for all this machinery, one should study also the previous statute (page
299, <fcc.) which authorizes cities, &c., to protect themselves from over
flow and inundation and control private levees, &c. After having read
the two laws it will be found that the district improvement bond has
been devised as a relief measure, and that it affords a wise and ingenious
method for helping those in more moderate circumstances who have
been taxed for a very necessary improvement to pay the tax by instal
ments.

page 98. In 1864 the State Treasurer reported the funded debt at
$3,880,399, and $1,450,472 additional “ Trust fund debt,” The only
bonded debt July 1, 1897, was $19,000 fof “ past-due part paid
$5,000,000 loan bonds’’ adjustable at $578*57 per $1,000, amounting
to $10,992*83; the bonds have never been presented for payment and
bear no interest. The “ Trust fund debt ’’ on the same date amounted
to $5,766,702*72.

DEBT LIMITATION. — Michigan, as noted in our History o f
the State Debt, started its career as a State in January 1837, when the
whole land was buoyant over its inflated enterprises carried on at public
expense. So to be abreast with the times, instead of putting any limit
on the power of the State to create debt, it put into its Constitution a
notice to the Legislature to go to work at once and make provision for
“ ascertaining the proper objects of improvement in relation to roads
“ canals and navigable waters,” that the money might he raised and
these improvements might be prosecuted with as little delay as possible.
That was the spirit which ruled and the condition which prevailed in
1837. In 1850 Michigan made and adopted another Constitution. Dur
ing the years which intervened the people had gained a wide experience
and had evidently profited by it. Hence we find them at the latter date
showing a purpose to make an instrument in its financial features about
as dissimilar from the one it was to supplant as it could well be. Nothing
October, 1897
MJCttia/W-eiTiES
will Illustrate this change in spirit and purpose more dearly than the
following limitations respecting the creation of State indebtedness
which were inserted. These sections are all found in article 14 of the
1850 Constitution, which Constitution is still in force.
S ection' 3. The State mar contract debts to meet deficits in revenue.
Such debts shall not in the aggregate at any one time exceed fifty
thousand dollars. The moneys so raised shall be applied to the pur
poses for which they were obtained or to the payment of the debts so
contracted.
S e c t io n 4. The State may contract debts to repel invasion, suppress
insurrection or defend the State in time of war. The money arising
from the contracting of such debts shall be applied to the purpose for
width it was raised or to pay such debts.

The foregoing sections appear to cover every branch and phase of the
subject; and compared with the Constitution of 1837 what a contrast
they afford!
Cities and villages, however, were left by the 1850 instrument to the
discretion of the legislature lu the matter of restrictions ui>ou their bor
rowing power. The provision which relates to this subject Is found in
Article 15, Section 13, and is as follows .S e c t io n 1 3 —The legislature shall provide for the Incorporation and
organization of cith-s and villages, and shall restrict their powers of
taxation, borrowing: money, contracting debts and loaning their credit,
In the exerelac of the power granted by this section the Legislature
has passed general laws governing the Incorporation, taxation and
bonding of cities and villages. With regard to cities the chief provisions
with respect to taxation and bond issues will be found In the second
volume of the ltdiO revision of Howell's Annotate,! Statutes of Mlehi

D E B T L IM IT A T IO N .—Tlie constitutional provisions of Wisconsin
restricting debt-malting are very rigorous, plain and comprehensive
Since the amendment adopted In 1874, cities Ac., as well as the State,
are dedaltely limited by that Instrument. Wo will, give the provisions
Brat which relate to the State and after that those which have reference
to cities, Ac.
(1) HTA TK indebtedness is confined within very close bounds, it
seems s e lf the framers of the Constitution must have taxed to t,Uo
extreme their ingenuity for forms In whleh to express their determtna
tlon to Inhibit debt-maklng. The sections which cover tho subject are
sections 3, l, 6,7 , 9 and 10 of Article 8. We give them in full below.
9BCTt«x H. Credit o f State, f o r what not given. The credit of the
State shall never lm given or loaned In alrl o f any Individual, associ
ation or corporation.
.-MscTloy 1. Contracting debts, The State shall never contract any
P Dute debt, except lo the eases and manner herein provided
nmsttrut s. Mutilation on public debt. For the purpose of defraying
extraordinary expenditures, the State may contract publJc debts (but
such debts shall never In the aggregate exceed one hundred thousand
dol.arsi. brery such debt shall be authorised by law, for some purpose
•f f S n S f m ,r' bf> distinctly specified therein: and the vote of a majority
* "'8 member* elected to each House, to be taken by yeas and nars.
•
Shan be necessary to the passage of such law; and every such law shall
provide for levying an annual tax sufficient !< pay the annual Interest
>
o f such debt and the principal within five years from the passage of
the principal and interest o f such debt snail hare been wholly paid.
Section 7. State may barrow money, when. The Legislature may alsoborrow money to repel Invasion, suppress insurrection or defend the
siur« in time of war: but the money thus raised shall lie applied exclus
ively to the object for which tho loan was authorized, ov to the repay
ment of the debt thereby created.
rii rtox ». Eriiienees o f debt, N'o scrip, certificate, or other evidence
of State debt, whatsoever, shall bo U-ucd, except for such debts as are
authorized by the sixth and seventh sections of this article.
mu Tins lo. Internal improrrments—arail* o f grants. Tllo State
shall ii,.
mtraet ai
t for works of interim! improvement, or bo
a party in carrying on such works, lmt whenever grants of land or other
proper! v shall have been made to the State, especially dedicated by thegrant to particular works of internal improvement, the State may carry
on such particular works, and shall devote thereto the avails of sucre
grants, and may pledge or appropriate the revenues derived from guehw
works in aid of their completion.
t‘i ) CITIES, counties, town*, villages, <£c„ were unrestricted except b y
legislative enactment until 1874. Since that amendment was adopted
five per cent on the value of the taxable property has been the extreme
amount of debt permissible for any municipality. Not. only is that the
case, but. as will be seen, the municipality is required before or at the
time when it incurs any indebtedness, to make provision for an annual
lux sufficient to pay the interest and also sufficient to pay the principal
within twenty year# from the time of contracting the debt We give
below the amendment referred to in full.
Limitation o f M unicipal Indebtedness— Adding to Section 3, Artfela,
I 11. the words:
No coantv, city, town, village, school district, or other municipal cor
poral ton, «hall he allowed to become Indebted In any manner or for any
purpose, to any amount. Including existing indebtedness in the aggregate
exceeding live per centum on the value of the taxable property therein,,
to he ascertained by the last assessment for State and county taxes pre
vious to the Incurring of such Indebtedness. Any county, city, town, village, school district, or other municipal corporation incurring any
Indebtedness, as aforesaid, shall bnfore or at the time of doing so pro
vide for the collection of a direct annual tax sufficient to pay the interest
on such debt as it falls due, and also to pay and discharge the principal
thereof within twenty years from the time of contracting the same.
On April 20, 1893. a new law passed by the Legislature of Wisconsin was approved by the Governor whleh gives general authority for thessuance of bonds to cities operating under special chartoi B granted by
the State, and containing a population of three thousand or more in
habitants, as follows. This authority is o f course subject to the fo r e
going provisions o f the Constitution
For the erection and construction of a city hall aud tile purelvase of a
site for the same.
For the construction and extension of waterworks or the purchase
of the same, and for constructing sowers, and for Ihe improvement and
maintenance of the same.
For the erection, construction and completion of school buildings and
tho purchase of school sites.
For the purchase of sites for engine houses, for fire engines and other
equipments of the fire department, and for the eonscr icMon of engine
1houses.
For the purchase of sites for police stations and for th- construolon •
If building* thereon for the use of the police department.
1 Fur the construction of viaducts, bridges,and tor repairs of tho same. .
I For the erection and construction of library and museum buildings
and the purchase of sites for the same.
For the establishment of public .baths and hospitals and the purchase
of sites for the same.
For the purchase of lands for public parks and improvements thereof
and for the payment of purchase money and Interest thereon which *
may be or become due for park lands already acquired or contracted <
for.

CITY S U fflE M S flT ,
For permanently improving streets in such city, and for creating a
fund out of which to advance the cost of repairs to sidewalks in antic
ipation of the collection of special assessments for such cost of repairs
by the Treasurer of such city.
For the construction or purchase of electric or gas light plants for
lighting streets and public buildings.
For refunding existing indebtedness.
The law further provides that bonds issued under this act shall
bear interest, payable annually or semi-annually, at a rate not exceed
ing 6 per cent per annum; that the Common Council shall annually
levy a tax upon all the taxable property sufficient to pay the annual
interest thereon, and to provide a sinking fund each year equal to 5
per cent on the principal of said bonds; that no bonds shall be issued
so that the amount thereof, together with all the other indebtedness of
the city, shall exceed 5 per cent of the assessed valuation of the city
and also that the bonds shall show on their fa c e the am ount o f indebted
ness of the city issuing the same, the annual amount of the assessment
of the taxable property therein for the five years next preceding the
issue, and the average amount thereof, and they shall not be sold for
less than their par value and accrued interest.
No system could be devised better adapted for keeping municipal debt
at a minimum than the foregoing amendment establishes.

DEBT LIMITATION.— Minnesota has protected the State from ex
travsgant expenditures through restrictions which Its Constitution puts
on every kind of debt making. That instrument fixes the limit at $250.
000 “ for the purpose of defraying extraordinary expenditures;" and an
amendment, ratified in 1879, extended this power to $250,000 add!
ttonal "fo r erecting ami completing buildings for the insane, a deaf,
dumb and blind asylum, and State prison." Besides the foregoing, it 1*
also provided that the State credit shall not be loaned, Ac. With regard
to the debt of municipalities there is but one section In the Constitu
tlon which relates to that subject, and that has reference to making
railroad debt.
FIRST, as to Stats indebtedness, the sections which treat of the sub
act are In article 9, sections 5, 6 .7 , 8 and 14.
S ectio n 5. ( Publie debt may be contracted.) For the purpose of de
fraying extraordinary expenditure*, the State may contract public
debts, but such debts shall never, in the aggregate, exceed two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars; every such debt shall Ik* authorized by law
for some single object, to be distinctly specified therein; and no such
law shall take effect until it shall have been massed by the vote of twothirds of the member* of each branch of the legislature, to be recorded
by the yeas and narson the Journals of each House, respectively; and
•very such law shall levy a tax, annually, sufficient to pay the annual
Interest of such debt, and also a tax sufficient to pay the priiu-ipal of
such debt within ten year* from the final passage of such law, and shall
specially appropriate the proceed* of such taxes to the payment of such
principal and Interest: and such appropriation and taxes shall not 1 ©
>
repealed, postponed, or diminished, until the principal and Interest of
such debt shall have been wholly paid. The State shall never contract
any debts for works of Internal improvement, or lie a party In carrying
on such works, except in cases where grants of land or other property
shall have been made to the State, especially dedicated by the grant to
specific purpose*; and In such cases the State shall devote thereto the
avails o f such grants, and may pledge or appropriate the revenues de.
rived from such works in aid of their completion.
S ection 6.—/ Public debt hate contracted.) All debts authorized by the
preceding section shall be contracted by loan ou State bonds of amounts
not less than five hundred dollar* each, on interest, payable within ten
yearn after the final passage of the law authorizing such debt; and such
bonds shall not be sold by the State under par. A correct registry of all
•U Q bonds shall be kept by the Treasurer In nmncrl *al order, so a* al
C
ways to exhibit the number and amount unpaid and to whom severally
made payable.
S ection 7 .—The State shall never contract any public debt, unless in
time of war, to repel Invasion or suppress Insurrection, except lu the
oases and In the manner provided In the fifth and sixth sections of this
article.
S-CTIoif 8.—( Appropriation o f money received from loan or Slate
bonds.) Ths money arising from any loan made, or debt or liability con
tracted, shall be applied to the object specified in the act authorizing
such debt or liability, or to the repayment of such debt or liability, and
to no other purpose whatever.
SECTION 14.—(State, debt fo r public buildings). For the purpose of
erecting and completing buildings for a hospital for the insane, a deaf,
dumb and blind asylum, and State ptison, the Legislature may by law
Increase the public debt of the State to an amount not exceeding t wo
hundred and fifty thousand dollar*, in ad lltion to the publlo debt al
ready heretofore authorized by the Constitu tlon, and for that purpose
mar provide by law for issuing ami negotiating the bonds of the State
and appropriate the money only for the purpose aforesaid; which
bonds shall be payable In not less than ten nor more than thirty years
f mm the date or the same, at the option of the State.
SRCOST), as to city, county or other muniei/tality the only restriction
on the debt making power in the Constitution is the following, found in
article 9, section 15.
ill
8 e c t io n 14.—(M unicipal debts in aid o f railroad s .) The Legisla
ture shall not authorize any county, township, city or other municipal
corporation o issue bonds or to become indebted in any manner to aid
in the construction or equipment of any or all railroads to an amount
that shall exceed five per centum of the value of the taxable property
within such county, township, city, or other municipal corporation;
the amount of such taxable property to be ascertained and determined
by the last assessment of saul property made for the purpose of State
and county taxation previous to the incurring of such indebtedness.
Tlie foregoing was adopted as an amendment in 1879. Before its
adoption the section read so as to authorize municipal corporations to
issue bonds in aid of railroads to ten p e r cent of valuation. Hence the
amendment consisted in simply changing the word ten and mating it
/ire.
This is all the Constitution contains with reference to the debts of
municipalities. The Legislature, however, has made some general pro
visions governing bond issues.
First, respecting cities, there is the general power granted the
common council of any cit3' to borrow money to pay any city indebted
ness, and to issue therefor city bonds bearing interest not to exceed 10
per cent and redeemable within ten years. The restrictions a re : (1)
That ordinances must be passed by the affirmative vote of a majority of
the common council, signed by the Mayor, and published in the official
city newspapers and recorded after proof of publication. (2) At no time
can such indebtedness, bonded or otherwise, exceed $15,000, unless the
same be authorized by a two-thirds vote at the election held for such pur
poses. (3) The council shall eaoh and every year levy a tax of one o il©
on the dollar for each one thousand dollars of bonds issued by the sa:d
city to pay the interest and to create a sin king fund to pay the bonds at
maturity. The foregoing is found in chapter 10, section 168, of the
General Statutes of Minnesota, vol. L, page 196, edition of 1888.
Second, and further as to eities, the common council is authorized to
issue bonds and levy taxes exceeding the amount authorized by other
secHcnm of this act; prodded the same be authorized by the majority
of voters present and voting at an electiou to be held for that purpose.
The time, place and manuer of holding such election to be prescribed by
the common council, the same notice to be given as at other elections.
And no bonds for any purpose shall be issued unless so authorised.
The foregoing is the latter half of section 171, chapter 10, Statutes of
Minnesota, vol. 1, pug* 197. The last sentence which we have italicized
would, ou its face, appear to take away the right of the common council
to issue even $15,000 of bonds (without an election) as authorized by
previous section 108 cited above. This idea also seems to find confir
mation in section 170, last clause, which reads that "n o debt shall bo
" incurred or created by the city, the common council or nny officer of
"th e city except pursuant to the authority herein expressly given for
• that purpose."
*
Third, through the board o f supervisors, towns can issue bonds as
directed by two-thirds of all legal voters voting at a legally called town
meeting held for that purpose, payable in such amounts and at such
times, not exceeding six years from date as two-thirds of voters deter
mine. For further particular* respecting the*© issues, see section 114,
chapter 10, Statutes of Minnesota, volume 1, page 182. A following
section (section 116) makes it the duty of the supervisors on or before
the find of September next after the date of said bonds, and each and
every year thereafter until the payment of said bonds, to levy a tax
" equal to the amount of principal and interest maturing the year nex^
after such levy," atul in the discretion of said supervisors such further
sum a* they deem expedient, not exceeding twenty per cent of such
maturing bonds, which taxes shall constitute a fund for the payment
of said bonds.
Fourth, The trustees or board of education of any school district
may issue school bonds of their respective districts In such amount and
of such length as to payment, not exceeding ten years, as two-thirds of
the voters voting at any legally-called meeting shall direct. For further
particulars respecting these bonds see section 26, chapter 36, of the
Statutes of Minnesota, volume 1, page 472. In section 28, same page
an? provisions for levying a tax for the paymentof bonds quite similar to
the provision* with reference to the paymentof town bonds cited above.
Fifth, with respect to all school bonds, see section 5, article VTII.
of the Constitution o f Minnesota, which authorizes the loaning of the
Permanent School Fund* upon interest at the rate of 5 per cent to the
several counties and school districts, to be used in the erection of
county or school buildings.
Sixth, as to the creating o f county debt, there is no general author
ization, the issues when made being under special acts. Of course
•*railroad aid bonds” are provided for by statute for county, cities,
and all other municipalities. 8ee, for the law on that subject, section
92, Ac., chapter 34, Statutes of Minnesota, vol. I., page 388, Ac. Sof
also, the borrowing from the Permanent School Funds under the above
cited section of the Constitution (section 5,» article VIII.) is provided
for by section 84, chapter 36, Statutes of Minnesota, vol. II., page 448
There is likewise a general statute for the issue of "m otor road bonds"
by the county, the particulars respecting which will be found in section
132, chapter 13, of Statutes of Minnesota, vol. I., page 277.
General statutory limitation, applying to all municipalities. Debts
of cities, counties, towns, Ac., are void if entailing taxation beyond
he rate fixed by law. Sec section 114, chapter 11, Statutes of Minne
sota, vol. L, page 243. Of course this section does not apply where the
law authorizes increased taxation, as, for instance, when a majority o
the legal voters so direct; such authorization and action bring the case
under the exception contained In the section, which is that the act is
unlawful ••unless specially and expressly authorized by law."

C O U N T Y AND C IT Y I N D E B T E D N E S S .-"A s com pared with
other States, w e have been remarkably fortunate in the financial man
agement o f ou r cities and counties. M ost counties are entirely free
from debt, and the number o f cities and independent districts which are
taking up their bonds is constantly increasing. The people o f our State
take a ju st pride in maintaining the highest- standard o f public and
private credit, and in carefully guarding the rights o f property.” —
Governor’s m essage, Feb., 1890.
D E B T L IM IT A T IO N .—Iow a's Constitution restricts the creating o f
debt, both State debt and m unicipal d ebt
FIRST, as to State debt, the limitation made is n ot absolute, fo r it
permits other debt if authorized by som e law for som e single specified
work. But tills permission is very safely guarded—(1) the law m ust
provide for the collection o f a direct annual ta x sufficient to pay the
Interest regularly and discharge the debt in tw enty years; and (2) the
law cannot- take effect until it has been submitted to the people at a
general election, and has received a m ajority o f the votes cast. A ll the
debt provisions relating to the State we give below.
A r t ic l e 7, Section 1. [Lim itation o f State indebtedness.] The credit
o f the State shall not in any manner lie given or loaned to, or in aid o f,
any individual, association, or corporation; and the State shall n ev or
assume, o r becom e responsible for, the debts or liabilities o f any individ
ual, association or corporation, unless Incurred In time o f war fo r the
benefit o f the State.
s e c t i o n 2 . [Same.] The State m ay contract debt* to supply casual
deficit* or failures in revenues, or to meet expenses otherwise provided
for; hut the aggregate amount o f such debts, direct and contingent,
whether contracted by virtue o f on e o r m ore acts o f the General Assem
bly, or at different- periods o f time, shall never exceed the sum o f tw o
bundled and fifty thousand dollars; and the m oney arising from the
creation of such debts shall be applied to the purpose for which it was
obtained, or to repay the debts so contracted, and to no other purpose
whatever.
SE< n o s 4. [For tchat other purposes State m ay contract debt.] In
addition to the above limited p ow er to contract debts, the State m ay
contract debts to repel invasion, suppress insurrection, or defend the
State In war; hut the money arising from the debts so contracted shall
be applied fur the purpose for which It was raised, or to repay such
debts, and to no other purpose whatever.
Hi.- re in 5. [ Other debts to be authorised.]—E xcept the debts lierembefore specified In this article, no debt shall oe hereafter contracted b y or
on behalf o f this State, uni....- such debt Klmll he authorized by some law
for some single work or object, to be distinctly specified therein; and
oueii law shall impose and provide for the collection o f a direct annual
tax -iifliciiint to pay the interest on such debt-as It M is due, and also
|" pay and discharge the principal o f such debt witlxin tw enty years
from the time o f contracting thereof; hut no such law shall take effect
until at a general election It shall have been submitted to the people,
and hat i- received a m.-yority o f all tile votes east for and against, it. a t
»neh election ; and ail m oney raised by authority o f such law shall b e
applied only to the specific object therein stated, or to the paym ent of
the debt created th ereby; and such low shall be published in at least- on e
newspaper iu each cou n ty .U one is published therein, throughout the
d a t e , for three months preceding the election at which it is submitted
to the people.
AiiTK.-u; V t n , Section 3. {State not to be a stockholder.]—The State
shall not becom e a stockholder In any corporation, nor shall it assume
or pay the d e b to r liability o f any corporation, unless incurred in time
o f war for the benefit o f the State.
There can be hut little fear that a State or city will ever create debt in,
any larger amount than itcan easily p ay where the law, as In the a b o v e
case, require* a tax to be levied at the time o f its creation sufficient to
pay the Interest annually and the principal when due.
SECOXD, as to m unicipal indebtedness, the limit Is fixed absolutely
in the Constitution. The provisions coverin g the sul(jeet are as follow s
A r t ic l e V III, Section I. [Cortmration not to be a stockholder.] N o
political or municipal corporation shall becom e a stockholder in any
banking corporation, directly or indirectly.
A rticle X I, Section 3. [To what amount county m ay become indebted. 1
No county or other political or m unicipal corporation shall he allowed
to become indebted m any maimer, or fo r any purpose, to an amount In
the aggregate exceeding live per centum on the value o f the taxable
property within such county or corporation—to be ascertained by the
last State and county tax list previous to the incurring of such
The above (section 3 o f article XT) covers cities, counties, towns a n d
every other kind o f political or municipal corporation. The SupremeCourt o f Iowa has decided that oven a school district is such a corpora
tion and subject to the 5 per cen t limit.
P O P U L A T IO N O F S T A T E .—The population o f Iow a has been as
allow s In the years n a m ed :
1 8 9 5 ............2,038,009 1 1870..............1,104,020 1850...................192,214

1 8 9 0 ............ 1,624,015 I
In 1860-70 the increase was 519,107, o r 76*91 per ce n t; in 1870-80430,595, or 36*06 per c e n t ; In 1880-90 287,281, or 17*68 per cent.

INTEREST on 6s paid in Halley; on all other bonds in New York.
Tlieabove shows the debt for which Alturas County was prim arily held,
the bonds having been issued by Alturas County before the creation of
Elm ore and I,ogan counties and before the annexation of a part of
Alturas to Bingham, When the Legislature parcelled out Alturas
County it failed to provide for an apportionment of the debt.
The amount which Alturas County will bo required to pay is only
about one-flfth of above amount, because the bonds pledged the tax
able jiroperty of the county as constituted at the time of issue, and .be
fore the division of Alturas. Elmore, Logan and part of Bingham
ooitnty were taken from A lturas County in 1889.

* Tlie Legislature does not always canvass tlie vote for Governor
Immediately upon its meeting, and the present Governor’s term runs
until his successor is declared elected.
Legislature meets biennially in odd years on the second M on
day in January, and there is no lim it to length of ses
sions; but members of the Legislature can draw pay only
for 40 days’ services in the aggregate, and this answers
the same purpose as a lim it upon the length of sessions.

O F D E B T . — Fo r history of Oregon’s State debt see
State and C it y Supplem en t of April, 1894, page 147.
To-day Oregon practicaUy has no debt. There are some little left-over
lotstliatgo by that name, in the aggregate amounting to $1,829-79, which
the State is ready and would be very glad to pay, but cannot get them
in. Interest on these ceased prior to December 31, 1896.
V A L U A T IO N . —The gross valuation in 1896 as equalized by the State
Board was $151,864,670; Indebtedness and exemptions, $8,687,699;
equalized valuation, $143,176,971,
D E B T L IM IT A T IO N . — Oregon framed and adopted its Constitution
in 1857. It is quite a notable fact that the people of the State are
to-day living under that instrument in the precise form in which it was
originally adopted, for there never has been an amendment made to it.
The provisions with respect to debt limitation will be found on pages
150 and 151 of the State and C it y S upplem ent of April, 1895,
P O P U L A T IO N O F S T A T E . — The population of Oregon has been as

DEBT LIMITATION.—Nevada has in its Constitution limited the
State to a nominal indebtedness, except for the purpose of ‘‘ defray
ing extraordinary expenses” arising from invasion, war, etc.; and in
such cases the law shall provide an annual tax sufficient to pay the
interest semi-annually and the principal within twenty-years. Further
the State is forbidden even to assume the debt of any county, city, etc.,
or to donate or loan its money or credit, or to subscribe to the stock of
any company, etc.
C oun ties, cities, tow ns etc. cannot become stockholders in any
company, or loan its credit, etc. But other than that the Constitution
omits to put any limit on county, city, etc., debts; but provides that the
Legislature shall make general laws restricting their borrowing power.

ordinary expenses, as hereinafter mentioned. E very such debt shall be
authorized by law for some purpose or purposes, to be distinctly speci
fied therein, and every such law shall provide for levying an annual tax
sufficient to pay the interest semi-annually and the principal within
twenty years from the passage of such law, aud shall specially appro
priate the proceeds of said taxes to the payment of said principal and
interest; and such appropriation shall not be repealed, nor the taxes be
postponed or diminished, until the principal and interest of said debts
shall have been wholly paid. E v e ry contract of indebtedness entered
into or assumed by or ou behalf of the State, when all its debts and lia
bilities amount to said sum before mentioned, shall be void and of no
effect, except in cases of money borrowed to repel invasion, suppress
insurrection, defend the State in time of war, or, if hostilities be threat
ened, to provide for the public defense.

To the foregoiug we should add the further fact that the State does
not actually have to pay the interest on the six per cent bonds for the
reason that the lease of the North Carolina Railroad provides a fund
for the payment of the interest thereon, and the State holds three
millions in the stock of the road, which if s<-ld will much more than
pay the principal.
