rule, on much less advantageous terms than before—
that is, they have had to pay a higher rate for the
money. The rate in the bond may have remained the
same but the price received has been lower, which is
the same as saying that the rate paid has been higher.
Even gold bonds— that is, bonds specifically payable,
principal and interest, in gold— have failed to com
mand a ready sale or good terms. But this is by
no means an anomaly, or a phenomenon difficult
of explanation. There has been no lack of invest
ment funds any more than there has been a lack
of capital to engage in reproductive enterprises. The
real trouble has been that in view of the pending
uncertainty—an uncertainty at once menacing the
standard of values and threatening to derange all
values—neither the investor nor the capitalist was
willing to tie up his money or to let it go far out of his
reach. .The high rates for money ruling in the money
market to be sure were an added drawback, but these
high rates were themselves evidence of and the result
of the existing distrust and lack of confidence.
Even New York City and Brooklyn found it im
possible to dispose of their bonds at figures in conso
nance with the value and character of the obligations.
On July 27 when bids for $400,000 New York City
bonds were opened, the proposals reached only $121,000, and on July 28 when $3,805,962 56 bonds were
offered the proposals reached only $1,010,000. The
bonds were payable principal and interest in gold coin
of the present standard of weight and fineness, bore 3^
per centjdnterest, none of them matured earlier than
1910 while some ran until 1917, and the greater part of
them was exempt from city and county taxes. On
July 28 proposals were alsr opened in Brooklyn for
$1,535,000 bonds. Only two bids were received, which
were returned unopened, the sale being first postponed
until September 15 and then postponed indefinitely.
As in the case of New York, the bonds bore 3£ per cent
interest, were payable in gold, and were to be exempt
from all taxes except for State purposes. It will be
observed that these bonds were offered in the month
when l^ryan was nominated on a free silver platform,
and when as a consequence the financial world was
thrown almost into a panic.
On August 17 New York City made another attempt
to sell its bonds, offering $3,433,033 41, consisting of
the bonds not taken in July and some new issues.
This time the bids covered more than the whole
amount offered, reaching ao aggregate of $4,543,842 50,
but the prices, which raoged from par to 101-25, were
considered too low by trie city officials. Brooklyn to
meet its pressing obligations on August 27 disposed of
5 per cent gold tax certificates maturing April 29
1897 ; a syndicate of local banks and trust companies
formed a combination to take the loan, so as to save it
from failure, and the bulk of the certificates was
awarded to them at par, a few outside bids taking
small amounts at a fraction above par. The present
week another $1,000,000 of these tax certificates were
offered by the City Comptroller, maturing in eight
months, but the bids had not been opened at the time
this form of the S upplement was being sent to press ;
the result of the sale will be found in the State a n d
C it y D epartment of the C hronicle this week.
While it is only in the more recent weeks that things
have come to pretty nearly a stand-still in the muni
cipal bond market, various circumstances have acted as
a damper on the market all through the year, keeping
it inactive and depressed. The currency.question has
Vol. LXIII.
been a continuously disturbing factor, so that it can be
said that at no time have the conditions been regular
or normal. The result has been that the transactions
have been very small for practically the whole nine
months, May and June being really the only months in
which the sales reached any considerable aggregate.
Recall the situation as the year opened. On December
31 1895 the rate for call loans on the Stock Exchange
touched 35 per cent, and it is of course well known
that as a result of the panic precipitated by the
Venezuelan complications, financial affairs generally at
that time were in a highly critical state.
At
midnight on January 5 1896 the Secretary of the
Treasury issued bis call inviting subscriptions for 100
million dollars United States bonds to replenish the
gold reserve and maintain gold payments, proposals
for the bonds to be received up till February 5.
This event necessarily rendered activity in the mun
icipal bond-market entirely out of the question for the
time being. Not only were the circumstances which
induced the bond issue themselves depressing, but
until it was known at what rate the Government could
borrow, municipal bond values as a matter of course
must remain deranged ; furthermore United States
bonds appeal to the favor of many of the same class of
investors as municipal bonds, thus to some extent im
pairing the market for the latter. The loan, as will be
remembered, was a success, but the payments required
were large and took a great deal of money out of the
banks, so that the money market still continued
unsettled for a time; later, when ease in money devel
oped, the action of Congress on various matters and
the prominence assumed by the silver agitation pre
vented recovery and municipal bond negotiations re
mained small.
According to the record of the sales kept by us in
our State a n d C it y D epartm ent the aggregate amount
of bonds disposed of in January by all the municipali
ties throughout the country was only a little over 6£
million dollars; in February, March and April the
aggregate was each month only about 4£ million dol
lars. In May and June came the only relatively active
period of the year, the sales in the one month amount
ing to about lOf million dollars and in the other to
about 12f million dollars, and yet even at these figures
the totals in both cases fell below the totals for the
corresponding months in 1895 as well a3 in 1894. In
July the sales dropped to about 5£ million dollars, in
August to 4 millions, and for September the aggregate
is only 3 f millions.
The conditions in these later months are so fresh in
memory that it is not necessary to go at length into the
details regarding them. The nomination of Bryan
produced a very panicky feeling as noted above, and it
was only the action of the banks in restoring the
Treasury gold reserve by giving up some of their own
gold and the further action of the syndicate of bankers
in checking gold exports that averted a serious crisis.
Tne bond sales that month (July), as already
stated, reached only about 5£ million dollars.
The offerings,
however, were quite large dur
ing the month.
The difficulty was in securing
bids. We have already referred to tfie inability of New
York City and Brooklyn to dispose of their bonds.
But prices generally were unsatisfactory, and a large
proportion of the offerings wa3 withdrawn. Several
municipalities received no proposals whatever for their
securities in that month, and in many instances tem
porary loans were resorted to until it should be possible

are of course not very numerous, but the face that
they happen at all serves to show the need for some
action or requirement which shall render them impos
sible. The most unfortunate feature connected with
such alt lira is that they lead to imputations of tricki
ness, double dealing, and even actual dishonesty. No
doubt too the imputations are generally groundless
and unjust, for just as likely as not in the case referred
to the bid may have been drawn up by some blundering
clerk.
But in any event mistakes of that kind should
be avoided. The bidders can not permit them, for
they are sure to work injury to their reputations. The
municipalities can not tolerate them for a moment, for
behind them lies the possibility of attempts to gain
an advantage at their expense by irregular and shady
methods.
It is recognized that it is to the interest
of the bidders to secure the bonds as cheaply as
possible, just as it is to the interest of the municipality
to dispose of them at the highest figures obtainable.
But that of course affords not the least justification
for questionable or illegitimate practices.
Closely connected with the need for clearness in
making proposals for bonds is the importance of shut
ting out irresponsible bidders, who are the bane both
of honest bond houses and of the municipalities having
bonds to sell. The remedy in this case would appear to
be very simple. The bidders should be required to put
up a deposit or forfeit, not only as a guaranty of good
faitb, but to protect the municipality in case the bidders
fail to take the bonds after they have been awarded to
them. Of course such a deposit is already called for
in many instances. But should not the requirement oe
made general? Tne regular bond houses fulfil their en
gagements with great scrupulousness, and as far as
they are concerned there would be no occasion for
urging the suggestion, but where no deposit is de
manded with the tender practically any one can send
in bide, and this leaves the municipality frequently at
the mercy of untrustworthy and designing persons.
There is a class of bond buyers who though not pos
sessed of much capital are yet in every way reliable.
Tney only bid for bonds when they know where to
place them. In other words, before they buy the bonds
they already have a market for them. They sell to the
savings banks and the large financial institutions of
various kinds. When bonds are offered they know
which of their clients is likely to want them and what
he is willing to give for them. Their bids are gauged
accordingly, and as soon as they secure the bonds they
take them to the party for whom they were bought
and the money is immediately forthcoming. It would
hardly be correct to call these persons representatives
of the institutions to which they cattr, for they are in
business in their own names and on their own account,
but they are the mediums between these institutions
and the municipalities issuing the bonds. They are
content, too, as a rule, with very small profits, usually
disposing of the bonds at only a little above what they
paid for them—just enough to allow them a fair commission on the transaction— and the whole arrange
ment is really a very satisfactory one, producing the
best results both to buyer and seller.
In our criticisms we do not wish to be understood as
referring to this worthy class of bidders, who really
perform u very useful function. The bidders we have
in mind are of a different order, but yet manifest on
many occasions— Dot so frequently perhaps at boud
offerings in the liast as in the West, usually appearing
in the case of sales by municipalities that can not find
Vol. LX III.
the same broad market for their bonds as more favorite
and better known municipalities. These persons in
bidding for the bonds take their chances of being able
to sell them afterwards, calculating to make a large
and a quick profit by the operation. Unlike the regu
lar bond houses they are without the necessary capital
to carry the bonds, and hence if the bonds are awarded
to them and they are unsuccessful in selling them they
simply “ lie down” on their contract, assigning some
clumsy pretext for not taking them. The municipality
is then obliged to invite new proposals. In the mean
time it is put to much inconvenience and annoyance,,
and possibly some embarrassment by reason of financial
necessities, and when the bonds are again offered for
sale a certain degree* of discredit attaches to them
because of the failure of the successful bidder at the
first sale to take them. And the municipality has no
remedy against the offending bidder, because he is
without means himself and no one has gone security
for him.
This then is a point that needs fortifying. Of course
in requiring a deposit, care must be taken that the
deposit is genuine and that the municipality can get
possession of it. A certified check seem3 to be the
most feasible way of accomplishing the purpose. But
even here caution is necessary. Instances have come to
our notice where the check was drawn on the house
making the bid and where the check was accepted as
fulfilling the requirements. Agaio, there are cases
where a regularly certified check on a national bank
and made duly payable to the proper official of the
municipality has been given, but where payment
was conditioned on the delivery to the persons named
in the check of so many bonds. Of course that does
not answer the purpose at all.
The check should
be drawn on a national or State bank in good standing,
and there should be no conditions attached to its pay
ment.
It has been suggested to us that in order to avoid the
defects above enumerated it would be well if some uni
form method of disposing of municipal bonds could be
adopted, such as to require that all bids shall be made
on blanks furnished for the purpose, and certified
checks on national banks required for at least 5 per
cent of the amount bid for. This has long been the cus
tom with the city of Cleveland, where no bid is con
sidered unless on a blank furnished by the city authori
ties and where the 5 per cent deposit is also exacted as
a pledge of the faithful performance of the con
tract. In requiring the bid to be on a carefullydrawn blank, provided by the municipality itself,
any misunderstanding arising out of the prevailing
practice where the contract is drawn by the
bidder and is not always a plain and unmistak
able proposition is avoided.
There are other com
mendable features in the Cleveland plan. The form
for the bid is made part of a circular containing all
the facts essential for the bidders to know with refer
ence to the bonds and the municipality— a statement of
the city’s debt, the taxable value of the property, the
real value, tne population, transcripts of the minutes
of the board authorizing the bonds, certificates show
ing how the board is constituted, also certificates show
ing that all the members were duly qualified to act, a
copy of the bond itself, &e. No doubt other cities could
with advantage follow the Cleveland plan. At all events
the suggestion is worthy of careful consideration. Certaiuly the defects iu the existing methods should be
obviated as far as possible.

Debt and Its History.
The following is a statement o f the debt o f the United States past and present. To add to its usefulness we give refer
ences to the law's authorizing each of the issues o f bonds outstanding to-day, and likewise, so far as we deem it needful, cita
tions from those laws.
All our figures, except when otherwise noted, represent the status at the close o f business June 30 or the beginning of
business on July 1 o f each fiscal year. To conform to that, feature and yet furnish information through which any reader
can always obtain the data for a correct exhibit of the debt situation at any past or future day, and make an accurate com
parison with previous years, we present, F i r s t , the details as they stood at the close of the last fiscal year ending June 30
1896; Second, the change! in those details since June 30 1896 down to October 1 1890; T hird , the itemsof interest-bearing debt,
&o., at the beginning of each fiscal year since July 1 1876 ; Fourth , we publish in the Chronicle the first or second Satur
day of each month the full detailed Government statement o f the debt as reported by the Treasurer on the last day o f the
previous month.
With these data at his command, it would seem as if any inquirer could satisfy himself fully' with reference to every
point which might become o f importance for him to know respecting the United States debt.

“ REFUNDING C E R T IF IC A T E S " (column 3 ).—Act o f February 26 1879 authorized the Secretary o f the Treasury to issue In exchange
for lawful m oney o f the United State* certificate * o f deposit o f the denomination o f ten dollars, hearing interest at the rate o f 4 p er cent, and
convertible at any time, with accrued Interest, Into the 4 per cen t bonds described in the R efunding a c t; the m oney so received to bo applied
only to the paym ent o f the bonds bearing Interest at a rate not less than 5 per cent. On Muroh 12 1879 the Issue o f these certificates and their
•xehange into 4 per cent bond* wore authorize*; the c«rti* e stm were to draw l per ce n t Interest from April 1 1879 and were con v ertible in
sums o f $30 o r Its multiples. The am ount Issued at the close o f the fiscal year (June 30 1879) was $39,308,110, but they had been converted
so rapidly that there were outstanding at that date only $12,348,210, On October 31 1879 the entire authorization had been reached, the
maximum amount o f the Issue being 810 .0 12,750. O f these there were still outstanding on O ctober 1 1890 a total o f $46,560.
“ LOAN OF 1 9 0 4 ." —(Column 4.) The act o f January 14 1875 authorizes the Secretary o f the Treasury to use any surplus revenues from
time to time in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, and to Issue, sell, dispose of, at not less than par in coin, either o f the descriptions

the office o f the A sslstant Treasurer o f the United State ; at New York, the outstanding legal tender notes when presented in sums o f not less

“ LOAN OF 1 9 2 5 ." —(Column 5.) Hales o f bon ds included under this designation were effected (1) in February 1895 to the am ount o f
$62,315,400 and (2) in February 1898 to the am ount o f 8100.000,000. In a message to Congress under date o f February 8 , 1895 (published in
the C tiR osict.r February 8 1395, page 244), President Cleveland bated that **!a pursuance S f Section 3700 o f the Revised Statues the details
o f an arrangement have this day been concluded whereby bond* o f the United State* authorized under the net o f July 14 1875, payable in coin
thirty years after their date, with interest at the rat* o f I per cent per annum, to the am ount o f a little leas than $02,400,000, are to lie issued fo r
the purchase o f gold coin amounting to a sum slightly in excess of $05,000,000, to be delivered to the Treasury o f the United Slates, which
sum added to flic gold now held In n «r reserve will so restore snob reserve as to make it am ount to something more than $100,000,000, Such
a premium is to be allowed to the Governm ent upon the bonds as to llx the rate o f interest upon the am ount o f gold realized at 3% per cent iter
annum. A t least oms-balf o f the gold to be obtained is to b e supplied from abroad." Section 3700 o f the Revised Statutes is as fo llo w s:

For a construction o f the “ Refunding A ct o f 1870” and o f the “ Resum ption A ct o f 1875,” see C h ronicle , February 18 1893, p age 265.
The issue in February 1896 was an ordinary offering, open to all bidders, o f $100,000,000 o f the same bonds as the foregoing—same in
date, same in time o f m aturity, same in rate o f interest and time o f interest payments. Consequently both issues are called the “ Loan o f 1925,”
o f which there are outstanding $162,315,400.
A year ago we gave a table showing the debt of the United States on the first day of July 1856, and every subsequent
year. It is not necessary to repeat all those figures. W e have determined on this occasion to begin our statement with
1876, as that year antedates all of the issues now outstanding, and yet carries the record sufficiently far back to show the
nature and extent of the Government securities when the latest refunding operations began. It has the advantage, too, of
giving separate and distinct each issue of bonds now outstanding. The statement is subjoined.

Note 1.—The annual interest charge is computed upon the am ount of outstanding principal at the close o f the fiscal year, and is ex clu siv e o f
interest charge on Pacific Railway bonds.
•
N o t e 2.—The llgures for J uly 1 1879 were made up assuming pending funding operations to have been com pleted.
N ote 3.—The temporary 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
amount outstanding August 31 1865 this being the date at which the public debt reached its highest point. This loan bore interest from 4 p er
cent to 6 per cent and was redeemable on ten days’ notice after thirty d ays; but being constantly changing, it has been considered m ore equ it
able to include the whole amount outstanding as bearing 4 per cent interest on an average for the year.

One other class of bonded debt must be referred to which has never been included in the total of Government debt and
consequently does not enter into any o f the foregoing figures—we mean the Pacific Railroad debt. To show the situation
of those bonds we have to make a compilation o f our own, as the Treasury form comes short of indicating the existing
situation. Methods of book-keeping make the official record to most readers unintelligible since payments o f the principal
began ; and hence on this occasion, in bringing together the facts we have given those relating to that part of the subject
matter as well as those directly relating to the railroad liability. The following consequently presents the full status o
these obligations as they stand to-day.

D E B T L IM IT A T IO N S,—Constitutional and statutory limitations
restricting m unicipal indebtedness have become quite a feature since
the crisis o f 1873. In the States where these limitations arc provisions
below.
In 1893 an indirect change was effected in the savings bank invest
ment law in the State o f M aine by a very Ingenious m ethod o f taxation
which seems to put a premium on home investments.
Till* taw will b e found In P ublic L aw s o f 1893, Chapter 258. I t re
quires savings banks and trust aud loan associations to make returns
In detail to the State Bank Exam iner o f (among other tilings) “ its as
sets, loans and Investments, and Us deposits within and w ithout the
State, tn separate colum ns.” show ing also whether the purchase or
acquisition o f each Item was before or after Jan. 1 ,1 8 9 8 ; thereupon it
becom es the E xam iner’s duty to fix tho market value of the Investments.
The next step In this plan is the transfer o f those statements to the
State Assessor, w hose duty It then becom es to determine “ the values
o f the several fra nchises o t the said banks,” A c., “ according to the f o l
low ing rule." We have divided “ the r u le” Into paragraphs and num
bered them: otherwise we follow the words and punctuation of the
statute.
Fruit) the average am ount o f deposits, reserve fund and undivided
roflts so returned by each bank, institution or association there shall
i each case 1m deducted
(1)
An amount, equal to the am ount o f United States bonds, the shares
o f corporation stocks such ns are by law o f this State free from taxation
to tho stockholders, and the assessed value o f real estate owned by the
bank, institution or association, and also
(2)
An am ount equal to one-seventh o f such other assets, loans and
investments ns by said detailed statem ent appear to have been acquired
prior to January first, eighteen hundred aud ulnety-threo, and also
(3)
An amount equal to two-sevenths o f such other assets, loans and
Investments as by such statement appear to be loans to persons, resi
dent or corporations located and doing business in this State, invest
ments in m ortgages on real estate in Maine and New Hampshire, secu
rities of this State, public or private, bonds issued or guaranteed by
corporations located ami doing business In this State, severally made,
purchased or acquired since said January first, and also
(4)
An amount, equal to two-sevenths o f the cash on hand and cash
deposited within this State.
Upon the value o f each o f said franchises so ascertained tbo State
Assessors shall nssess an annual ta x o f seven-eights o f one per oent,
one-half o f said tax to ba assessed on or before tho fourth M onday In
May, and one-half on or before the fourth Monday lu N ovem ber.
g
A ccording to the foregoing, where the Investments puroliased after
January 1 ,1 8 9 3 , are home securities or deposits in home banks, tw o sevenths o f such aggregate are to bo deducted from “ the average
amount o f deposit*,'*- Ac., in making up “ the values o f the several
fran ch ises" fo r taxation.
In other particulars the statutes o f this State have been In certain
respect* very liberal with regard to the kinds o f investments perm itted
This 1* in a m uch less degree true now . .Many o f the m ore liberal
features were changed b y the am endm ent In 1895 above referred to
The A ct o f tho Legislature was approved March 20 ,189 5. .It amended
10

L IM IT A T IO N .—There Is no restriction in the Constitution
o f New Hampshire upon the debt-making power o f the people throngb
the " General Court,”
the following, which is the last clause of
Article 5 of Part Second of that instrument.
That the General Court shall not authorize any town to
loan or give Its money or credit directly or indirectly for the benefit of
an y corporation having for its object a dividend of profits or in any
way aid the same by talcing Its stocks or bond*.
The above is an amendment to the Constitution, which was ratified in
1877. The amendment would appear to be Intended as a complete
estoppel to municipal loaning of money or credit to railroad and indus
trial corporations. It Is to be noticed, however, that by its terms the
restriction does not specifically mention "c it i e s ," the words being

The amount of loan which can be made to oue person or corporation,

The following three sections (Sections 2 9 , 3 0 , 31) it Is unnecessary to
insert in extenso. Section 2 9 restricts the amount in which any officer,
director or employee may at any one time be iudebted to any “ trust
com pany; ” since Section 3 2 enacts that the words " trust company,’ ’
as used in the act shall “ include savings banks,” this prohibition may
possibly apply to savings batiks officers. Section 30 makes every stock

D E B T L IM IT A T IO N S.—There seems to be no p rovision in the Con
stitution o f Massachusetts lim iting the pow er of the Legislature to
create State indebtedness, or lim iting its pow er to authorize m unicipal
ndebtedness. Statutes general and special have, however, been passed
on this subject with respect to Cities and Towns.
First am ong these Statutes needing m ention we have Chapter 29 o f
the R evised or “ P ublic Statutes.” The im portant sections to be cited
contained in Chapter 29 are as follow s. We g ive only the substance
o f the sections, n ot the words.
S ection 1—Provides that cities and towns shall not incur debt
except in the manner and within the lim itations prescribed in this
chapter.
S ection 2—Provides (as a prelim inary for determ ining whether the
1imitation fixed by Section 4 has been reached by any m unicipality)
that the water debt and the sinking funds shall be deducted from the
total debt.
Section 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 for a fire district.
S ection 4 —Provides that no city or tow u ex cep t as provided in the
follow in g section shall becom e indebted in an am ount which exceeds 3
p er cent on the last preceding valuation.
S ection 5—Provides that cities and tow ns which were indebted on
the 13th day o f June, 1875, to an am ount not less than 2 per cent on
valuation for that year m ay “ increase such indebtedness to the ex ten t
“ o f an additional one per cent on that valuation and no m ore.”
S ection 6—Provides that cities, &c., “ m ay by ordin ary vote incur
debts for tem pory loans ” in anticipation o f the year’ s taxes and o f the
year’s taxes n ext ensuing.
S ection 7—Provides that other debts than those referred to in
section 6 shall be incurred only b y a vote of two-thirds of the voters
present at a town meeting, o f two-thirds of all the members o f each
branch o f the city council, and approved by the M ayor; or if the M ayor
disapproves, by another like v ote after notice o f such disapproval.
S ection 8—Provides that debts incurred for water must be payable
witliin 30 years; in constructing sewers within 20 years; all other debts
within 10 years.
S ections 9 to 17 inclusive, contain interesting p rovision s relating to
sinking funds and other allied matters.
S ection 18—Provides that any city which at a m eeting o f its voters
has accepted by a two-thirds vote any act to supply said city with
water, may by a vote o f a m ajority o f the members o f each branch of
the city council contract debts and issue bonds fo r the purpose.
S ection 19—P rovides that tow ns, &c., shall not increase tlieir debt
by subscriptions in aid o f railroads beyond 3 per cent o f v a lu a tion ; but
the limitation of this section shall not apply to tem porary loans m en
tioned in Section 6.
S ections 20 to 23, which are the final ones o f Chapter 29, have no
reference to the subject w e are discussing and need not be cited.
As the reader has seen, the foregoing (Section 4, Chapter 29) fixes the
general debt limitation for cities and towns at 3 p e r cent.
This general lim itation was low ered b y a later law. The p rovision is
found in Chapter 312, Section 2 o f the “ P ublic Statutes,” which provi
sion reduces the general debt lim itation from 3 per cent to 2 ^ p er
cent on the average valuation fo r the preceding three years. W orcester,
Lynn, Gloucester and B rockton are in the same Section exem pted from
the operation o f the Section until January 1 ,1 8 8 9 —later than 1889 the
only exem ptions we find in the Statutes are special in their purpose
not general.
The temporary loans provision, as it appears above in Section 6
(Chapter 29), is also changed by Section 4, Chapter 312, by om itting
“ and o f the year next en su in g; ” so that at present cities and towns by
ordinary vol can incur debts fo r tem porary loans in anticipation of
the taxes o f the year only in which such debts are incurred.
The foregoing statements cover all the m aterial facts general in their
application passed w ith respect to debt limitation. In addition to
these General Provisions there are various Special Laws which contain
October, 1896.

The relation which the towns, nftiea and borough* o f this State bear
to one another is peculiar, and requires a w ord o f explanation. The
!
•State i* divided tote eight counties, and these counties are made up o f
town*, numbering to the aggregate 107. The towns are the civil unit
and on the assessed valuation (which is called the " Grand List) o f each
:
town " Is levied the tax for Suite purpose* aa well as the tax for town
; expenditure*. Within the tow n is often situated a city or a borough, or
both, all o f which m ay at the *ame tim e have bonds outstanding. There
; are ten eities, each with one exception hearing the same name as the
tow n to which It lies. O f late several tow ns and cities whose limits
j were about Identical have been consolidated and the outstanding
;
j bond* o f both town and city are reported together w ithout distinction.
; This is the case with the city aud town o f H artford, which previous to
j A pril, 1896, reported their debts separately. The c ity and tow n o f
f New L ouden have been consolidated and also B ridgeport city and
town. In general, however, tow n and city arc distinct, New Haven
I city, for instance, m aking no mention in It* ilnuaeiat report o f the deb t
;
o f New Haven town, though there is but little difference to the extent
o f tow n and city.
Tlie borough stands in about the same relation to the tow n as does
the city. The grand list as determined fo r the tow n is used by both the
city and the borough in levying taxes, the city, fo r Instance, putting a
tax o f its ow n on it* share o f the total grand list o f the town. This t a x
ia additional to the town tax. In some instances the schools are in the
charge o f school districts, which also are em powered to issue bonds
and to levy a tu x, so that to cov er the total tax paid by a c ity it is
; necessary to take into account the State, town, city and school district
levies, in the statements which follow we give under one heading the
town and city, wherever they bear the same name, for though distinct
j
i corporation*, their debts arc to a greater or less exten t the debts o f a
single comm unity.

statute with refeteuce to exem ption from taxation “ for tow n county

•
city, town or coun ty” in the State, which seems to have a wider appli
cation than is generally known. A s originally passed in 1881 the ex
em ption applied only to bonds issued to pay up or retire bonds “ created
to aid in the construction o f any railroad.” A now law was passed in
1886 (Chapter 316) making the tax exem ption apply to “ new bonds ”
issued under the act to retire any o f the then “ prevent bonded indebted
ness o f any village, city, tow n or county in this State.” With reference
to such new bonds the third section o f the act o f 1886 sa y s: » All new
bonds issued by any village, city, town or county in this State under
the provisions o f this act shall be exempt from taxation for town
county, municipal or State purposes until the period when they are
made payable.” In 1893 still another law was passed making the
statute cover any bonded indebtedness. Tho law as it now stands will
be found lu editorial on page 4 o f tho A pril, 1894, S upplement

The foregoing contains tlie whole o f tlie 1895 law. It w ill be n oted
that subdivision 7 (the last paragraph o f the above) refers to the “ n e x t
section ” for the provisions applicable. This reference Is to section
117 o f tlie law o f 1 8 9 2 ; we om it that section as it relates only to real
estate. Sections 118,11 9 and 120 o f the law o f 1892 we su bjoin ; they
are all o f a general character and either grant pow ers or imposes re
strictions.
S e c t io n 118. The trustees o f every such corporation shall as soon as
practicable invest tue m oneys deposited w ith them in the securities
authorized by this a rticle; but for the purpose of m eeting current
payments and expenses in excess o f the receipts, there may be kept an

State organized under any law o f this State or •f the United States, or

twenty-five per centum o f the paid-up cap ital and surplus o f any such

divisions one, tw o, three and four o f the preceding section but one, but
not in excess o f ninety per centum o f tlie cash m arket value o f such
securities so pledged. Should any of the securities so held in pledge
depreciate in value, after making any loan (hereon, the trustees shall

(2) CITIES, COUNTIES, TOWNS, Etc., are also restricted in the
making o f certain kinds of debt b y A rticle I, paragraphs 19 and 20, o f
the Constitution. We give the paragraph in full.
19. No county, city, borough, tow n, township or village shall
hereafter give any m oney or property, or loan its m oney or credit,
to or in aid of any individual, association or corporation, or becom e
security for or be directly or indirectly the owner o f any .stock o r
bonds o f any association or corporation.
20. No donation o f land or appropriation o f m oney shall be madeby the State or any m unicipal corporation to or for the use o f
any society, association or corporation whatever.
I t w ill be noted that the above prohibition relates to the giving of
m oney, p roperty or credit of cities, &c., to individuals, associations, o r
corporations, &c., and that the prohibition is absolute, forbidding the
doing o f such acts in any form , shape or manner. There is one other
restriction of the State Constitution, and that is found in A rticle IV .
Section V II., paragraph 11, which forbids the Legislature passing any
special law s “ regulating the internal affairs o f towns and counties
in this and in all other cases in w hich according to the judgm ent o f
the Legislature general law s are feasible, the Constitution states that
general laws m ust be provided.
In com pliance with this last provision the Legislature has passed
m any general laws covering bonded indebtedness of cities, tow ns, etc.
They are so numerous they cannot be cited here. We w ould refer th e
reader to the R evised Statutes o f New Jersey published under an act o f
the Legislature in 1877, to the title “ M unicipal C orporations” pages
714 to 720 both inclusive; and also to the same title (M unicipal C orpor”

DE B T LIM ITATION -111 Pennsylvania the lim it to the indebtedness
o f the State, and the lim it to the indebtedness o f the cities and
m inor civil organizations in the State, is fixed by the State C onstitu
tion.
1. StaU indebtedness.—With regard to the State, the regulations
controlling and governing debt creation, payment, &c., are found
in Sections 4, 5, 6, 11 ,12, 13 and 14 o f Article I X o f the Constitution,
and are os follows.
A r t ic l e IX , Sec. 4. No debt shall be created by, o r on behalf of, the
Stilt*- except to supply casual deficiencies o f revenue, repel invasions,
suppress insurrection, defend the State in war, or to pay existing d ebt;
and the debt created to supply deficiencies in revenue shall never
exceed, in the aggregate at any one time, one m illion o f dollars.
S ection 5. All laws authorizing the borrow ing o f money by, and on
behalf of, the state shall specify the purpose for which the m oney is to
be used, and the m oney so borrowed shall bo used for the purpose speci
fled and no other.
Section 6. The credit o f the Commonwealth shall not be pledged or
loaned to any individual, company, corporation or association, nor
shall the Commonwealth become a joint-ow ner or stockholder in any
company, association or corporation.
Section 11. To provide for the payment o f the present State debt, and
anv 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 o f the proceeds o f the sales of the
public works, or any part thereof, and o f the incom e or proceeds o f the
sale of anv stocks owned by the Commonwealth, together with other
funds and' resources that m ay be designated by law, and shall be
increased from time to time by assigning to it any part o f the taxes or
other revenues o f the State not required for the ordinary and current
expenses o f government, and unless in case o f war, invasion or insur
rection, no part o f the said sinking fund shall be used or applied other
wise than in the extinguishment o f the public debt.
S ection 12. The m oneys o f the State, over and above the necessary re
serve, shall be used in the paym ent o f the debt o f the State, either
directly or through the sinking fund, and the moneys o f the sinking
fund shall never be invested in or loaned upon the security o f anything
except the bonds o f the United States or o f this State.
Section 13. The m oneys held as necessary reserve shall be limited
by law to the amount required for current expenses, and shall be se
cured and kept as m ay be provided by law. Monthly statements shall
be published, showing the amount o f such m oneys, where the same are
deposited, and how secured.
Section 14. The m aking o f profit out o f the p ublic m oneys, or using
the same for any purpose not authorized by law, by any officer o f the
State, or member or officer o f the General Assembly, shall be a m isde
meanor, and shall be punished as may be provided by law; but part of
such punishment shall be disqualification to hold office for a period o f
not less than five years.
State loans in Pennsylvania, whether created for original indebted
ness or authorized to fund existing indebtedness, are usually negoti.
ated through the G overnor and Commissioners o f the sinking
fund.
The last act o f the Pennsylvania Legislature authorizing a public
loan was the act o f June 8 ,1 881 , when a thirty-year loan was effected
to fund existing indebtedness at a lower rate o f interest.
The earliest date at which the last o f the existing indebtedness o f
Pennsylvania w ill m ature is February 1 ,1 912 , and under existin g are
rangement8 the accumulations in the sinking fund w ill at that time
pay the total State indebtedness.
(2) County and M unicipal Indebtedness.—Under the laws of
Pennsylvania the pow er to create county loans is in the B oard o f
County Commissioners, which consists in each countv o f three persons,
elected tri-ennially under the m inority system o f voting, by which
the m inority party in each County usually has one member o f the Board
In cities and boroughs the power to create indebtedness is vested in
councils, municipal debts being created by ordinance.
The creation o f county, city and other m unicipal indebtedness is
subject to the follow ing constitutional limitations.
A rticle IX , Sec. 7. The General Assembly shall not authorize any
county, city, borough, township or incorporated district to becom e a
stockholder in any company, association or corporation, or to obtain or
appropriate money for, or to loan its credit to, any corporation, associ
ation, institution or individual.

SAVINGS BANKS INVESTMENTS-POWERS AND RESTRIC
TIONS.—
Philadelphia is, we believe, entitled to the distinction
o f starting the first savings institution in the United States. T he
name this association bore was the “ Philadelphia Savings Fund
Society,” and it still exists, hearing the same name. Originally the
bank was not incorporated, but was a voluntary organization, such
societies in Great B ritain being at that time o f a like character. T he
date o f the organization was November 2 7 ,1 8 1 6 , and the bank w a s
opened for business Decem ber 2,1 816 . Mr. Hutchinson, who, n ow
holds the office of President,states that, the oldest ledger o f the com pan y
goes back to the time o f opening, and shows a deposit on that day
(December 2, 1816) of five dollars. The com pany was not in cor
porated until February 25,1819.
It is surprising that Pennsylvania, although engaged in such an early
venture in the department o f savings institutions, should have made
so little progress in the same departm ent since. Indeed, the second
organization does n ot bear date until 1847, and w e think there had
only been 10 m utual savings institutions organized in the whole State
from 1816 down to the early part o f 1890. We m ay assume, however,,
that this slow developm ent was in no measure due to a lack of desire
fo^ savings .banks on the part o f the p eople o f that com m on
wealth. That such institutions were sought and needed issufficiently evident from the fa ct that nine o f the ten com panies re
ferred to above reported in 1890 that they held $63,957,341 o f
deposits. In 1889 a general law, facilitating the incorporation o f sav
ings banks, was passed by the Legislature. Since then there has been,
a small addition to the number o f institutions, the total doing business
in the State on Nov. 12, 1895, being 16, with deposits aggregating:
$73,937,636.
The provisions o f the special charters are all liberal as to in v est
ments. A law passed in 1885, and a supplem ent o f the same passed'
in 1889, authorizing the extension fo r tw enty years o f special char^
ters, contains the follow ing.
*Provided also, that no * * * Savings Institution or Savings
Bank having no capital stock, renew ing or extending its charter.,
corporate rights and franchises, under the provision* o f this act, shall
thereafter be allowed t-lie privileges o f a bank o f discount, nor b e
allow ed to loan any m onev received on deposit, e x c e p t first m o rtg a g e
or lien upon real estate within this com m onwealth, upon the bonds o r
securities o f tlie United States or o f this State, or upon county, city,
borough, township or school bonds o f any county, city, borough, tow n
ship or school district w ithin this com m onwealth, or any other good
and valid securities.”
A uthority to loan on any “ good and valid security ” appears to c o n
fer about as broad a discretion upon the m anagers as could be
expressed in a statute.
It w as n ot until 1889, as already stated, that a general la w fa cili
tating the organization o f savings institutions was passed. That
law of 1889 is indeed well adapted n ot only for facilitating, but fo r
stimulating, the grow th o f the system. Its influence in the la tte r
direction w ould seem to be assured under the liberality o f the
provisions respecting investm ents. The follow in g is section 17, which
contains the investm ent lim itations; w e w ould especially d irect
attention to subdivision fou r o f this section:
Section 17.—It shall be law ful fo r the trustees o f any savings bankto invest m oney deposited therein only as follow s:
(1.) In the stocks or bonds or interest-bearing notes or the obliga
tions o f the United States, or those for which the faith o f the United1
States is pledged to p rovide fo r the paym ent of the interest and the
principal.
(2) In the stocks or bonds o f the Comm onwealth o f Pennsylvania
bearing interest.
(3) In the stocks or bonds o f any State in the U nion that has n o t
within ten years previous to m aking such investm ents, by such corp o
ration, defaulted in the paym ent o f any part o f either p rincipal or in
terest o f any debt authorized by any Legislature o f such State to be
contracted.
(4) In the stocks or bonds o f any city, county, tow n or village of
any State o f the United States, issued pursuant to the authority o f any
law o f the State, or in any interest-bearing obligation issued b y the
city or coun ty in which such bank shall be situated.
(o)
In bonds and m ortgages on unincumbered, im proved real estate,
situated in this State.
It w ill be n oted that according to the foregoing (sub-division
Section 8. The debt of any county, city, borough, township, school four), Pennsylvania Savings Banks are allowed to invest their
district, or other municipality or incorporated district, except as deposits in the bonds and stocks o f any city, coun ty tow n or village in

TO TA L DEBT, E t c .— The total funded debt, at the date o f our last
returns was *084,750. Total assets w ere $1 ,051 ,396 ; assets in excess
o f liabilities *366,646. The total assets include bank stocks *475,092:
m ortgages on railroads *395,000, and bonds, *101,750. The total debt
in 1890 was *1,0 8 2 ,4 4 0 ; in 1880 it w as *880,750.
A SSE SSE D V A L U A T IO N .—The total assessed valuation o f the
State in 1890 was *74,134,401; in 1880 it was *59,951,643.
DEBTLIMITATIO N.—Neither the Constitution nor the State statutes
contain any general provisions authorizing bond issues or lim iting the
debt-making power. The w hole authority, both as regards the State
and its m unicipalities, rests with the Legislature, and the Legislature
always passes special acts to provide fo r special occasions and needs.
Consequently each loan p ut out by a m unicipality in Delaware rests on
tiie law authorizing it, and the am ount o f future loans rests on the dis.
cretion first o f the city or town and finally o f the Legislature. In such
an old conservative State there is p robably no danger o f the people o f
any tow n or city ever overstepping the lim it o f safety, or if they should
desire to, that the Legislature w ould authorize it.
POPULATION OF STATE.— The popu lation o f D elaw are has been
as follow s in the years m entioned:
18 90...................168,493 18 60.................. 112,216 I 1830...................76,748
1880................... 146,608 1850.................... 91,532 1820...................72,749
1870................... 125,015 18 40....................78,085 I 1810...................72,674
From 1860 to 1870 the addition to population was 12,799, or 11-41
per c en t; from 1870 to 1880 21,593, or 17*27 p er c en t; and from 1880

SA V IN G S BAN KS IN V E S T M E N T S .-T U et-e are in this State g en
eral banking law s under which savings banks ruay be organized, and
yet w e n otice that even in 1890 a special charter was granted incorpor
ating the Germania Savings B ank o f 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—
A ny savings institution incorporated under this article shall be
capable o f receiving from any person or persons, or bodies corporate or
politic, any deposit o f m oney which shull be invested o f loaned out on,
good tee-aril if in the discretion o f the directors; provided that « o p art o f
the funds o f said corporation shall be loaned to any officer o r director of
such corporation.
In the special law passed In 1890, w hich we have referred to above,
the p ow er to loan the deposits is made a little m ore definite. The sec
tion referring to that subject states that the * corporation shall have
•
“ p ow er to borrow m oney, receive m oney on deposit, loan m oney
" taking suck secu rity therefor, either real or personal, as the B oard o f
“ Directors may deem sufficient; provided that no p a ri o f the funds o f
“ said corporation shall be loaned to an officer or director thereof.”
We cannot discover any m arked difference In the two provisions
cited, except that the enactm ent in the case o f the new B altim ore hank
states distinctly that the security can he either real o r personal. But as
much us that would, we think, he assumed as authorized under the gen
eral provision, since no limit to m ade and loaning on bond and m ortgage
s always a leg! tlmate part o f the business o f savings banks.

D E B T LIM ITA TIO N .—There is nothing In the Constitution of
Maryland lim iting the pow er o f the Legislature to authorize bondissne*
either by he State or b y Its m unicipalities. No general lim it for cities
an d tow ns has been fixed by the Legislature, nor I* there any general
authorization to lie found in the statutes under which cities and town*
can Issue bond*. This pow er to lodged in the Legislature, and la dele
gated to the m unicipalities from time to time for specific purposes as
the occasion may arise. It is necessary, therefore, for the Investor to
study the law In each ease on this as well as on other point* affecting
the Loan with respect to which he may need inform ation.
P O P U L A T IO N OF S T A T E .—Maryland lma greatly Increased he.r
population since the inauguration o f the Federal Governm ent,
though necessarily she has n ot gained as fast as som e other States
particularly the newer Western States, and consequently 1ms had to
yield In rank to them. In 1790 the popu lation was reported 3H !,728(
and In 1800 341,548, In 1840 we find It 470.010. In 1890 the total
passed the million mark, an Increase during the century o f consider
ably o-. - r 200 per cent.

Section 6. [Organization o f cities, <£*e.j The General Assem bly sliall
provide for the organization o f cities anil incorporated villages by gene
ral laws anil restrict their pow er o f taxation, assessment, borrow ing
money, contracting debts and loaning tlieir credit, so as to prevent the
abase of sueii power.
One at first sight would infer from section 6 article 8 above cited that
cities could not subscribe to the stock o f or loan money to railroads, as
railroads are corporations and joint-stock companies. That, however,
is not a correct conclusion, ns was decided in the case o f Walker vs. Tlio
City of Cincinnati, a case which arose under an act o f the General
Assembly o f Ohio entitled " A n Act relating to cities o f the first class,’ ’
authorizing any such city to construct a line o f railroad therefrom to
any other terminus in that State or in any other State. In
pursuance o f the authority that act purports to give, Cincinnati
undertook to build the Cincinnati Southern Railroad. To tost the legal
ity o f that proceeding this action was brought. The Court’s opinion is
verv full and explicit, the conclusion being that from “ the language
“ o f the section it is unite evident that it was not intended to i>rohibi(
" t h e construction o f railroads nor indeed to prohibit any species Oj
••public improvements. Tlio section contains no direct reference to
" railroads n or to any other special classos o f improvement-! or enter< prises. The inhibitions are directed only against a particular manner
<
• or means by which under the Constitution o f 1802 many p ublic im
•
• provements had been accomplished.”
‘
In compliance with section 6, article 13 (cited above), which provides
for the organization o f cities etc. by general law, the Legislature has
made an elaborate classification o f municipal corporations. First they
are divided into cities, villages and hamlets. Then cities are divided
into tw o classes, the first class being subdivided into three grades and
the second class boing subdivided into four grades, the grade being
determined by population according to the last Federal Census.
Cities in the F irst C lass—First grade inoludes all oities o f m ore than
200.000 inhabitants; second grade all less than 200,000 and m ore than
90.000 inhabitants; third grade all less than 90,000 and m oro than 31
500 inhabitants.

and m ore than 30,500 inhabitants; second grade all less than
and m ore than 20,000 inhabitants; third grade all less than
and m ore than 10,000 inhabitants; fourth grade all less than
and m ore than 5,000 inhabitants.
V illages—Of the first olass include all having less than 5,000 and
more than 3,000 inhabitants; the second class includes all having less
than 3,000 and more than 200 inhabitants.
H a m l e t s —A ccording to section 1550 o f the Revised Statutes all ex
isting corporations organized as “ incorporated villages fo r special
“ purposes shall be hamlets until advanced to villages.”
It is impossible to make any satisfactory generalization with regard
to the bonding power the Legislature has granted these m unicipalities.
There are a. few sections o f the Revised Statutes authorizing bond
issues which have a universal application, such as the p rovision
granting pow er to issue bonds in anticipation o f special assessments
but m ost o f the laws for that purpose cover only one class o f cities, and
many o f them are so worded as to apply only to one city, and granting
an issue o f bonds for a specific purpose. No general laws lim iting the
powers o f municipalities to incur indebtedness have been passed, al
though section 6, article 13, appears to require it. And yet is it not a
question whether that section calls for any legislation o f a general
nature except a general law “ for the organization o f cities, A c.” I

D E B T L IM IT A T IO N .—In the present C onstitution o f Indiana, which
went into effect N ovember l , 1851, superseding the Constitution adopted
in 1316, there are explicit provisions limiting the power o f both the
State and its m unicipalities to contract debt.
FIRST, as to the Stats, Sectiou 5 o f article 10 provides that no debt
e x cep t to meet casual deficits in revenue, to pay interest, to repel in v a
sion Ac. can be contracted. The section in full is subjoined.
C reation o r D eiit F o r b i d d e n . — S o law shall authorize any debt to bo
contracted on behalf o f the State except in the follow ing c a s e s : To
meet casual deficits In the revenue: to pay interest on the btate d e b t ;
to repel invasion, suppress insurrection, or, if hostilities be threatened,
provide for the public defense.
In the sixth section o f the same article the last clause prohibits the
assum ption by the State o f the debts o f any m unicipality or corporation
The clause referred to reads as follow s.
Nor shall the General Assembly ever on behalf o f the 8 tate assume
the debts o f any county, city, tow n o r township, nor o f any corporation
whatever.
SEC OS' D. a t to m unielpalitiet, the provision contained In the
Constitution seems to be equally clear and em phatic, and, as will be
found. Axes the limit at 2 p er cent o f the valuation. It Is article 13 o f
that Instrument which relate* to this subject, and we give the article in
lu ll below.
L im ited — E xcess V oid .— No political or municipal corporation
In this State shall ever becom e Indebted in any manner or for any pur
I » * e to an amount In the aggregate exceeding two per centum on tlie
valuation o f the taxable property within such corporation, to be ascer
tained by the last aesessment for State and County taxes previou s to
til-in cu rrin g o f such Indebtedness; and all bonds or obligations In
excess o f such amount given by such corporation shall be v o id ; Protitled, That In time o f war, foreign Invasion, o r other great public
calam ity, on petition o f a m ajority o f the property ow nor» In mmil>er
and value, within the limits o f 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.
THIRD, eountiee (but no other kind o f m unicipality) are prohibited
from aulMet thing tor any stock In a corporation unless paul for at time
o f such subscription. The section which covers this subject la section 6
o f article 10, and Is as follow s.
Counties i .innot take spick. No county shall aubscritie for stock In
any Incorporated com pany unless the same lie paid f o r at the time of
such subscription; nor shall any county loan Its credit to any Incor
porated com pany, nor borrow money for the purpose o f taking stock in
any such company: nor shall the General Assembly ever on lielislf of
the Slate assume the debts o f any county, city, tow n or township, nor o f
any corporation whatever.
The prohibition which this section contains applies, as already stated,
on ly to counties. Consequently the Legislature was at liberty to author
Ixe cities to subscribe to the stock o f railroads, as It did by a genera
taw passed in 1867 granting the pow er to subscribe to the stock o f any
railroad running into or through any c ity or near Its corporate limits.
Other laws o f a somewhat similar character have been posset! at other
datqs. We notice one law too which authorises counties bordering on
the SUP; line p> subscribe for railroad stock and to issue botuls for the
purpose o f paying the subscription. In view o f the altove section
this grant o f pow er extended to counties would seem to be at least
questionable.
COUS TIES are apparently m lrieleil by sU tnte to a lower than the
Constitutional limit o f 2 per cent In the matter o f creating debt. For
Instance, Neetion 5,749 o f the Revised Statute* authorises any county
to issue bonds when necessary to construct, com plete or repair conrt
house, jail or other county buildings, o r to fund existing d ebt; In those
cases county commissioners may borrow for that purpose not exceed
lo g 1 per rent on assessed valuation and issue bonds therefore.
S inking /and for payment o f bonds roust lie provided by levying n tax
o f not less than one-tentli o f one per cent on the taxable property o f the
coun ty In addition pi a specific levy to provide for interest. (See R e
vised Statutes. Section 5,70$).
Lim it o ' one p er eent may bo exceeded In counties where construction
o f conrt house was begun before January, 1885, and where the ordinary
revenues, together with 1 per eent o f the taxable property, are not suffi
cient for com pletion—in such cases, and where the exigencies alnolutoly
demand it. bonds not to exceed 1 per cent o f valuation in addition to
previous debt may lie Issued.
Lim it o f one p er rent eannot be exceeded eterpl fo r tem porary loa nt In
any county having a voting population o f twenty thousand; temporary
loans are authorized In anticipation o f revenue for enrrent fiscal year,
payable out o f such revenue within sneb fiscal year, and not for exceed.
Ing tw oth lrds o f the tax duplicate o f such the preceding y ear; but no
91
temporary loans are permissible until all tem porary loans upon the
revenue o f any preceding year have been paid. A ny ordinance, order,
resolution, obligation, contract, note or other evidence o f indebtedness
to increase the debt o f 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 pow ers to cities and towns o f fifteen
thousand inhabitants or o ver to issue bonds for legitim ate corporate
purposes, subject, however, to the Constitutional limit o f 2 per cent on
valuation. But w e have not the space to set out here the details, or the
details o f the other legislation applicable to cities o f larger and smaller
population, and covering specific purposes, such as water works, <fce.

Illin o is —CITIES AfiV TOWTJS
DEBT L IM IT A T IO N .—N o State has developed a greater repugnance
to the creating o f debt than Illinois, if we m ay Judge from the provisions
o f its present Constitution. We say developed, because this antagonism
has apparently been progressive. N othing o f it is to lie found in the
Constitution o f 1818. The Constitution o f 1848 contains no reference
to m unicipalities, but has in it stringent restrictions lim iting to $50,000
the pow er o f the Legislature to create State debt, except in case o f war,
invasion, etc., unless the law proposing the issue o f bonds is submitted
to a vote o f the people. But turning to the Constitution o f 1870 we find
the whole subject o f debt-making most thoroughly considered and its
basis settled.
FIRST, as to the State, the provisions are not very unlike the provis
ions o f the Constitution o f 1848, except that as to the limit for casual de
licit* and failures o f revenue, the aggregate which can be created is very
properly raised to $250,000. But with that exception and with the
further exception fo r the purpose o f repelling invasion etc. no debt
oan be contracted unless the law is submitted to a vote o f the people at
a general election, which law must contain a provision for the payment
o f interest as it accrue*, and previous notice o f the election be given by
publication for three months prior to such election. These last two
restrictions as to interest and notice o f election are only found in the
1870 Constitution. The sections which cover these matters are a* fol
lo w s; we omit the first portion o f Section 19, which relates only to
appropriations and payment o f appropriations out o f funds belonging
to the S ta te:
S ection 19. • * * * * I*rorided, the State may, to meet casual
deficit* or failure* in revenues, contract debt* never to exceed in the ag
gregate $ 2 50,0 00; 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 cx ceot fo r the purpose Or
repelling invasion, suppressing insurrection o r defending the State in
war (for payment o f wnich the faith o f 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
o f the votes cast for members o f the General Assemblv at such election.
The General Assembly shall provide for the publication o f said law for
three months at least before the vote o f the people shall lie taken upon
the sam e; and provision shall be made at the time for the paymeut o f
the interest annually as it shall accrue, by a tax levied for the purpose
o r from other sources o f revenue; which law, providing for the payment
o f such interest by such tax, shall tie Irrepealable until such debt be
p aid : And provided fu rth er, that ne law levying the tax shall ins sub
mitted to the people with the law authorizing the debt to be contracted.
S ection 20. The State shall never pay assume o r becom e responsible
fo r the debts or liabilities o f, or in any manner give, loan, or extend
its credit to o r In aid o f any public or other corporation, association or
IndivlduaL
Nothing needs to be added in explanation o f the foregoing. The pro
vision* seem to be explicit and to guard most wisely the creation of
State debt.
SECOND, m unicipal indebtedness Is regulated only In the Constitution
o f 1870. In that Instrument the nutyeot Is dealt w ith in all its phases. First
laaprovision in Article 9, Section 3,forb!dd!ug the General Assembly and
every m unialpallty from making any appropriation In aid o f any sec
tarian purpose. Second Is a separate section ” forbidding any such
municipality from becom ing a subscriber to the stock o f any railroad
Ac. or to loan its credit. Third I* the broad and general provision,
Section 12. Article 9, which limit* the indebtedness o f all inuniclpalil
ties to 5 per cent " o n the v a ln e o f the taxable property therein," A c
We give these sections b e lo w ;
A r t ic l e 8. Section 3. Neither the General Assembly nor any county
city. town, township, school district, or other public corporation, alial
ever make any appropriation, or pay from any public fund whatever,
anything in aid o f any church o r sectarian purpose, or to help *upj>ort
o r 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 o f land, money
or other personal property ever be made by the State, or any such public
corporation, to any church o r for any sectarian purpose.
A r t i c l e 9, Section 12. No county, city, township, school district or
other municipal corporation shall be allowed to iwcotne indi nt«d In any
manner or for any purpose, to an amount, including existing Indebted
ness, In the aggregate exceeding five per rentnm on the value o f the
taxable property therein* to be ascertained by the last assessment for
8tate and county taxes, previous to the Incurring o f such Indebtedness.
A ny county, city, school district or other municipal corporation Incur
ring any indebtedness as aforesaid shall before, o r at the time o f doing
so, provide for the collection o f 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 year* from the time o f contracting the
Thi* section shall not be construed to prevent any county, city,
township, school district, or other m unicipal corporation, from issuing
their bonds In compliance with any vote o f the people which may have
been bad prior to the adoption o f this Constitution In pursuance o f any
law providing therefor.
S eparate Sections. (Municipal subscriptions to railroads etc.) No
cou n ty, city, town, township or other m unicipality shall ever become
snbscrliier to the capital stock o f any railroad or private corporation, or
make donation to or loan its credit in aid o f such corporation. provided,
however, that the adoption o f this article shall not be construed as affect
1ng the right o f any such m unicipality to make such subscription*
where the same have been authorized, under existing laws, by a vote of
the people o f snch municipalities prior to such adoption.
The foregotng limitation to 5 per cent la general, a* will tie seen—that
Is, It applies to all municipalities. With this limitation preserved the
Legislature has passed general laws authorizing the city council tn
cities and the board o f trustees In villages to issne IKinds for corporate
purposes, for refunding and consolidating debt, for water work*, etc.;
and the county board o f any county has lieen authorized by general
statute to issue, when tt deems It necessary, county bonds, after sub
(ecting the matter to the legal voters o f the county at a general election
at which a majority vote Is required as a prerequisite o f the Issue. In
all these general laws, however, it is provided, according to Section 12,
Article® , o f the Constitution, that in no cose must the aggregate in
debtedness exceed five per cent o f the taxable property therein.
I m p r o v e m e n t B o n d s .— There Is a kind o f im provement bond author,
ized in some cases which is made a special lien on the land bcneflttcd
and to which the 5 per cent limit has no reference. We refer to coses
which come under the law entitled " T o divide cities and villages subject
" to overflow Into Improvement districts.” This stAtute provides that
any such city or village or part thereof m ay lie laid off into an Improve
ment district for the purpose o f draining, raising the grade o f the streets
97
and im proving the d istrict; that after the cost fo r the work has been
ascertained and been assessed, the assessment m ay be paid in instal
ments or otherwise and such city or village m ay issue bonds sufficient
to pay the assessment. In that case the bonds are a lien
on the lots, blocks or parts thereof w hich shall be designated
therein; but before the issue the owner o f the lots, etc., to he
charged must endorse upon the back o f such bond his consent
under seal, in substance as fo llo w s : " I hereby indorse the within bond
" and consent that the lot or lots or parts thereof therein designated
" shall becom e liable fo r the interest and principal therein namea and
" the same shall be a lien upon said p roperty from this date until paid
" o f f 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 o f the lien created to the
same extent as the record o f m ortgages Is a notice.
We have room to give only this very brief and im perfect outline o f this
statute. The whole law will lie found in the Revised Statutes o f Illinois,
the 1889 edition, page 303. T o understand the real cause and occasion
for all this machinery, one should study also the previous statute (page
299, Ac.) which authorizes cities, Ac., to protect themselves from over
flow and inundation and control private levees, Ac. A fter having read
the tw o laws it will be found that the district im provement bond lias
been devised a* a relief measure, and that It affords a w ise and ingenious
method for helping those in m ore moderate circumstances who have
been taxed for a very necessary im provement to pay the tax by instal
ments.

the State Debt, started its career as a State in Ja n u a ry 1837, when the
whole lan d was buoyant over its inflated enterprises carried on at p ub lic
expense. So to be abreast w ith the tim es, instead of p uttin g an y lim it
on the power of the State to create debt, it p ut into its C onstitution a
notice to the Le gisla tu re to go to w o rk at once and m ake p ro visio n fo r
“ ascertaining the proper objects of Im provem ent in relation to roads,
“ can als and n avigable w aters," that the m oney m ight be raised and
these im provem ents m ig h t be prosecuted w ith as little delay as possible.
T h a t was the s p irit which ruled and the condition w hich prevailed in
1837. In 1850 M ichigan made and adopted another Constitution. D u rng the years which intervened the people had gained a w ide exp erien ee
and had evidently profited b y it. Hence we find them at the latte r date
show ing a purpose to m ake an instrum ent in its fin an cial features about
as d issim ila r from the one it was to supplant as it could w ell be. N othing
w il illu stra te this change in s p irit and purpose more cle arly than the
fo llo w ing lim itatio n s respecting the creation of State indebtedness
which were inserted. These sections are a ll found in article 14 o f the
1850 Constitution, w hich Constitution is s till in force.
S e c t i o n 3. The State m ay contract debts to meet deficits in revenue.
Such debts shall not in the aggregate at any one tim e exceed fifty
thousand dollars. The moneys so raised sh all be applied to the p u r
poses for w hich they were obtained or to the paym ent of the debts so
contracted.
Section 4. The State m ay contract debts to repel in vasio n, suppress
insurrection or defend the State in tim e of war. The m oney a risin g
from tlie contracting of such debts sh a ll be applied to the purpose for
w hich it w as raised or to p ay such debts.
S ection 6. The credit o f the State shall not be granted to or in aid of
any person, association or corporation.
S e c t io n 7. No scrip, certificate, or other evidence of State indebted
ness shall be issued except for the redemption of stock p revio u sly
issued or for such debts as are expressly authorized in th is Constitution.
S ection 8. The State sh all not subscribe to, or be interested in the
stock of an y com pany, association or corporation.
Section 9. The State shall n o tb e a p a rty to, or interested in, any w ork

DEBT LIMITATION- M innesota lias protected the State from ex.
tra va g a n t expenditures through restrictions w hich its Constitution puts
on every k in d of debt m aking. T h a t instrum ent fixes the lim it at $250,000 “ fo r the purpose of d efrayin g e xtrao rdin ary expenditures;” and an
amendment, ratified in 1879, extended th is power to $250,000 addi
tio n a l “ for erecting and com pleting b uild in gs fo r the insane, a deaf,
dumb and b lin d asylum , and State prison.” Besides the foregoing, it is
also provided that the State credit sh all not be loaned, &o. W ith regard
to the debt of m u n icip alitie s there is but one section in the C onstitu
tion w hich relates to that subject, and that has reference to m aking
ra ilro a d debt.
F IR S T , as to State ind ebtedness, the sections which treat o f the subect are in a rticle 9, sections 5, 0, 7, 8 and 14.
S ection 5. (P u b licd eb t man be con tra cted .) F o r the purpose of de
fra y in g extra o rd in a ry expenditures, the State m ay contract p u b lic
debts, but such debts sh all never, in the aggregate, exceed two hundred
and fifty thousand d o llars; every such debt sh all he authorized b y law
fo r some single object, to be d istin ctly specified therein; and no such
la w sh a ll take effect u n til it sh all have been passed b y the vote o f twothird s of the members of each branch of the Legislatu re, to be recorded
b y the yeas and nays on the jo u rn als of each House, resp ective ly; and
every such law sh all le vy a ta x , an n u ally, sufficient to p a y the an nu al
interest of such debt, and also a ta x sufficient to p ay the p rin cip a l of
such debt w ithin ten years from the final passage of such law , aud shall
spe cially appropriate the proceeds of such taxes to the paym ent of such
p rin cip a l and interest; and such appropriation and taxes sh all not be
repealed, postponed, or dim inished, u ntil the p rin cip al and interest of
such debt shall have been w holly paid. The State sh all never contract
any debts fo r works of internal im provem ent, or be a p arty in ca rry in g
on such w orks, except in cases where grants of land or other property
shall have been made to the State, especially dedicated b y the g ra n t to
specific purposes; and in such cases the State sh all devote thereto the
a v a ils or such grants, and m ay pledge or appropriate the revenues de
rive d from such w orks in aid of th e ir completion.
S ection (3.—(P u b lic debt how con tra cted .) A ll debts authorized b y the
preceding section sh all be contracted by loan on State bonds of am ounts
not less than five hundred d ollars each, on interest, payable w ith in ten
years after the final passage of the law au tho rizin g such debt; and such
bonds shall not be sold by the State under par. A correct re g istry of a ll
such bonds sh all be kept by the Treasurer in num erical order, so as a l
w ays to e xh ib it the num ber and am ount unpaid and to whom se v e ra lly
■ mde payable.
S ection 7.—The State sh a ll never contract any p u b lic debt, unless in
time of w ar, to repel in vasio n or suppress insurrection, except in the
oases and in the m anner provided in the fifth and s ix th sections of this
article.

the am ount of such ta x a b le property to be ascertained and determ ined
by the la st assessm ent of said pro p erty m ade fo r the purpose of State
and county ta x a tio n p re vio u s to the in c u r r in g of such indebtedness.
Th e fo rego ing w as adopted as an am endm ent in 1879. Before its
adoption the section read so as to authorize m u n icip a l corporations to
issue bonds in aid of railro ad s to ten p e r cen t o f va lu a tio n . H ence the
am endm ent consisted in sim p ly ch an gin g the w ord ten and m a k in g it

T h is is a ll the C o n stitu tio n co n tains w ith reference to the debts of

F irst, re sp ectin g cities, there is the general pow er grante d the
com m on council o f a n y c ity to borrow m oney to p a y any c ity indebted

T h a t o rdinances m ust be passed b y the a ffirm ative vote of a m a jo rity of
the com m on council, signed b y the M ayor, and p ub lished in the official

can such indebtedness, bonded or otherw ise, exceed $15,000, unless the

D E B T L I M I T A T I O N —M issouri has made provision in its C o n sti
tution restrictin g the creation of debt both on bebalf of the State and
of its m unicipalities.
FIRST, with resp ect to th e Stale, the regulations are fu ll and speoifto.
Th ey are found in article 6. sections 44, 45 and 46. which we subjoin.
A k t h ' l k 6. Section 44. ( G e n e r a l A s s e m b ly n o t to c o n t r a c t d e b ts e x c e p t
as herein./ The General Assem bly shall have no power to co n tracto rto
authorize the contracting of any debt or lia b ility on bohalf of the
State, or to issue bonds or other evidences of indebtedness thereof, oxcept in the fo llo w ing ca se s:
First, In renewal of e xistin g bonds, when they cannot be p aid at
m aturity out of the sin k in g fund or other resources.
Seconil, on the occu rring of an unforeseen emergency, or casual defi
ciency of the revenue, when the tem porary lia b ility incurred, upon the
recommendation of the Governor first had. shall not exceed the sum of
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars for any one year, to be paid in
not more than two years from and after its creation.
Third, on the occu rring of any unforeseen emergency, or casual defi
ciency of the revenue, when the tem porary lia b ility incurred or to be
incurred shall exceed the sum of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars
for anv one year, the General Assem bly m ay subm it an act p ro vidin g
for the loan, or for the contracting o f the lia b ility , and containing a pro
vision for le vyin g a tax sufficient to pay the Interest and p rin cip a l when
they become due (the latter in not more than thirteen years from the
date of Its ercatlon), to the qualified voters of the State, and when the
act so submitted shall have been ratified by a tw o-thirds m ajority, a t an
election held for that purpose, duo publication h a vin g been made of the
provisions of the act for at least three m ouths before such election, the
act thus ratified shall bo irrepealable u n til the debt thereby in curred
shall be paid, p rin cip al and interest.
s e c t i o n 45. ( S ta te's c r e d it n o t to be l o a n e d .)
The General A ssem b ly
shall have no power to give or to lend, or to authorize the g iv in g or
lending of the oredit of the State in aid of or to an y person, asso
ciation or corporation, whether m un icip al or other, or to pledge
the credit of the State in a n y m anner whatsoever, fo r the p a y
ment of the liab ilities, present or prospective, of an y in d iv id u al,
association of individuals, m un icip al or other corporation whatsoever.
S e c t io n 46. (P u b lic m on ey, g r a n t o f p roh ib ited .) The G eneral Assem
bly shall have no power to make any grant, or to authorize the m aking
of any gra n t of pub lic m oney or th in g of value to any in d ivid u al, asso
ciation of in dividuals, m un icip al or other corporation whatsoever.
P rovid ed , Th at this shall not be so construed as to prevent the g ra n t of
aid in a case of pub lic calam ity.
The foregoing sections cover a ll phases of State indebtedness and so
restrict action as to put the State beyond the chance of future debt em
barrassm ent.
SEOOb'D, with reg a rd to cities and other muniolpalith'-s, the p rovisions
are in lik e m anner fu ll and w isely constructed. There are three—section
47 In article 6. section 6 in article 9 and section 12 in article 10. We
give them complete below.
A b t i c i . e 6, Section 47. (M u n icip a lities, lo a n in g cred it o f .) The Gen
eral A ssem bly shall have no power to authorize an y county, city , town
or township, or other p olitical corporation or sub-division of the State
now existin g, or that m ay be hereafter established, to lend its credit, or
to grant public m oney or th in g of value in aid of or to an y in d ivid u al,
association or corporation whatsoever, or to become a stockholder in
such corporation, association or com pany.
A r t i c l e 9, Section 6. ( M u n i c i p a l i t i e s n o t to s u b s c r ib e to c a p ita l s t o c k
o f co rp ora tion s.) No county, tow nship, city or other m u n icip ality shall
hereafter becomo a subscriber to the cap ital stock of an y railro ad or
other corporation or association, or m ake appropriation or donation, or
loan its credit to or in aid of any-such corporation or association, or to or
in aid or any college or institution of learnin g or other institution,
whether created for or to be controlled b y the State or others. A ll
authority heretofore conferred fo r any of the purposes aforesaid b y the
General Assem bly, or by the charter of any corporation, is hereby re
pealed: P rovid ed , how ever, T h a t nothing in this Constitution contained
shall affect the rig h t o f a n y such m u n icip ality to m ake such sub scrip
tion where the same has been authorized under o xistin g law s b y a vote
of the people of such m un icip ality prior to its adoption, or to prevent
the Issue of renewal bonds, or the use of sueli other means as are or
m ay bo prescribed by la w fo r the liquidation or paym ent of such sub
scription, or of a n y e xistin g indebtedness.
A rticle 10, Section 12. (M u n icip a l ind ebtedn ess, lim it o f.) No
county, city, tow n, tow nship, shool d istrict or other political corpora
tion or sub-division of the State shall be allowed to becomo indebted in
an y m anner or for an y purpose to an am ount exceeding iu an y ye ar the
income and revenue provided for such year, w ithout the asseut of twothirds of the voters thereof voting at an election to be held for that
purpose: nor In eases requiring such assent shall an y indebtedness be
allowed to be incurred to an amount, in clu din g e xistin g indebtedness, in
tile aggregate exceeding five per centum on the value of the taxable
property therein, to be ascertained b y the assessment n ext before the
last assessment for State and county purposes, previous to the in cu r
rin g of such indebtedness: P r o d d e d , T h a t w ith such asseut an y county
m ay be allowed to become indebted to a larger am ount for the erection
of a court-house o r ja il. A n d p r o d d e d fu rth er. T h a t any county c ity
town, tow nship, school d istrict, or other p o litical corporation or sub
d ivisio n of tlie State, in cu rrin g any indebtedness, req u irin g the assent
of tlie voters us aforesaid, shall, before or at the tim e of doing so, pro
vide
the collection of an annual ta x sufficient to pay the interest on
such indebtedness as It falls due, and also to constitute a sin k in g fund
for paym ent of the p rin cip a l th ereof,'w ith in tw enty years from the
tim e of co n tracting the same.
It Is scarcely necessary to add an ything to the foregoing. The sections
give n m ake clear (1) that a m un icip ality cannot loan its cre d it; (2) that
it cannot subscribe to the capital stock of corporations ; (3) that it can
not get into debt w ithout tw o-tliirds of the voters voting at an election
fa vo r it,, and then o n ly to an aggregate of 5 per cent of valu atio n,
excep t that w ith such assent any county m ay be allowed to become
Indebted in a large r am ount for the erection of a court house or
Ja il, and fin a lly (4) that before or at the tim e of getting the assent of the
▼ liters an annual ta x m ust be provided sufficient to pay iutorest and
form a sin k in g fund to p ay the debt w ith in 20 years. These p ro visio n s
are certainly ve ry conservative.

HISTORY OF DEBT.—When Kansas wa# admitted into the Union
a# a State (in 1861) it had a bouded debt of $150,000. The Constitution
of 1859 limited the debt-making power to one million dollars (with
certain restrictions and exceptions), as more fully described below. In
1866 the bonded debt was $630,775, of which the State owned $28,050,
In 1878 the total bonded debt was $1,181,975, of which the Btate
owned $713,600. On Jan. 1; 1896, the debt amounted to $752,000, of
which $9,000 wa# held by the Btate University fund and $487,000 by
the permanent school fund, leaving only $256,000 bonds outstanding
The State loan# at present are as follows:

The above shows the debt for which Alturas County is prim arily held,
the bonds having been issued by Alturas County before the creation of
Elmore and Bogan counties and before the annexation o f a part of
Alturas to Bingham. When the Legislature parcelled out Alturas
County it failed to provide for an apportionment o f the debt.
The amount which Alturas County w ill he required to pay is only
about one-flftli o f above amount, because the bonds pledged the ta x
able property o f the county as constituted at the time o f issue, and be
fore the division o f Alturas. Elmore, Logan and part o f Bingham
county were taken from Alturas County in 1889.

DEBT LIMITATION.— Colorado’s Constitutional provisions with
reference to the creation o f debt are o f considerable length, and strike
one at first as quite elaborate. A fter a brief study o f the provision
their good qualities stand out so plainly as wholly to disarm criticism
No .state has placed the debt-making power on a more reasonable basis
All the regulations with reference to public Indebtedness arc found In

D E B T L IM IT A T IO N .—Nevada has in its Constitution lim ited th e
State to a nominal indebtedness, except for the purpose o f “ defray
ing extraordinary expenses” arising from invasion, war, etc.; and in
such cases the law shall p rovide an annual tax sufficient to pay the
nterest semi-annually and the principal within twenty-years. Further
the State is forbidden even to assume the debt o f any county, city, etc.,
or to donate or loan its m oney o r credit, or to subscribe to the stock o f
any com pany, etc.
Counties, cities, towns etc. cannot becom e 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 borrow ing power.
The Constitutional provisions referred to are as follow s:
ARTICLE IX ., S e c t i o n 3. [State debt limited.] F or the purpose o f
enabling the State to transact its business upon a cash basis from its
organization, the State may contract public debts, b u t such debts shall
never in the aggregate, exclusive o f interest, exceed the sum o f three
hundred thousand dollars, except fo r the purpose o f defraying ex tra
ordinary expenses, as hereinafter m entioned. 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 o f such law, and shall specially appro
priate* the proceeds o f said taxes to the paym ent of said principal and
interest; and such appropriation shall not be repealed, nor the taxes be
postponed or diminished, until the principal and interest o f said debts
shall have been wholly paid. E very contract o f indebtedness entered
into or assumed by or‘ on behalf o f the State, when all its debts and lia
bilities amount to said sum before m entioned, shall be void and o f noeffect, except in cases of money borrow ed to repel invasion, suppress
insurrection, defend the State in tim e o f war, or, if hostilities be threat
ened, to provide for the p ublic defense.
S e c t i o n 4 . [State prohibited from assum ing debts o f cities, d-c.] The
State shall never assume the debt o f any county, town, city, or other
corporation whatever, unless such debts have been created to repel
invasion, suppress insurrection or to p rovide for the public defense.

P O P U L A T IO N OF S T A T E .—Though N evada has some good grazing
land, the mining industry, m ore particularly silver mining, has had
chief attention, and with the decline of this, population has also declined
the Census o f 1890 showing a total o f only 45,761 persons, against
62,266 in 1880. The famous Comstock lode is located within Nevada
but the silver production o f the State lias greatly fallen off in recent
years. Additional railroad facilities would be o f great help, as there
are less than a thousand miles o f road, while the total area o f the State

authority to extend the tim e to January 1 ,1 8 9 7 , but all bonds fu n d ed
after A pril 1 ,1 8 9 6 , shall carry interest from the semi-annual period

once converted into registered certificates w ere n ot re-convertible into
coupon bonds, bu t this act makes coupon and registered bonds in te r
changeable.
The V irginia State Sinking Fund Comm issioners are authorized to
invest the surplus revenues of the State from tim e to tim e in V irginia
Century bonds or V irginia 3s to the exten t o f $100,000 per m onth.
Under this act $337,000 o f Century bonds have been purchased at a
cost o f $199,291 33, and are now held by the Commissioners o f the
Sinking Fund.

was assumed that W est V irginia should provide fo r one-tliird the prin
cipal and interest o f the then existing d ebt— for $15,239,370—
that is
out o f the total debt o f $45,718,112. To represent, therefore, W est V ir
ginia’s share of bonds funded “ deferred certificates” w ere issued. A ll
efforts, how ever, to induce West Virginia to take recognition o f these
certificates have thus far been unavailing. In 1885 the holders o f about
$8,000,000 certificates united fo r the purpose o f obtaining a com prom
ise, and deposited their holdings w ith the Farmers’ Loan & T rust Com
pany, which gave its trust receipts therefor. This attem pt came to
nothing, and in 1890 Messrs. C. Satterthwaite & Sons, o f No. 30 Throg
m orton Street, London, E. C., started another m ovem ent to bring about
a settlement.
Besides the original “ deferred certificates” there w ere subsequently
issued under the Biddleberger A ct “ W est Virginia interest-bearing cer
tificates,” to represent one-third th e p rin cip a l o f the old bonds brought
in for funding, and “ non-interest-bearing certificates” to represent onetkird the interest on old bonds brought in fo r funding. Under the
agreement with the “ Bondholders’ Comm ittee,” the holders o f the
“ Old B on d s” surrendered on settlement w ere given a certificate show
ing that W est V irginia is indebted to them fo r one-third o f said “ Old
Bonds.” Including these the outstanding W est Virginia certificates
are therefore as fo llo w s: —

ASSESSED VALUATION o f real estate fo r 1895 was $3,650,286,.
of personal property, $1,247,805; total, $4,898,091; tota l ta x (p er
$1,000), $12-00. Real estate is assessed at “ about 60 per cent o f it s
actual value.”
B U N C O M B E C O U N T Y .S T A T E D E B T .—Tho old debt, excepting suoli as is n ot recognized,
has m ostly been funded under the funding laws o f 1879, which provided
for the issue o f (1) consolidated 4 per cent bonds due in 1910 to fund
old ante-war bonds at 40 per cent o f face value, “ N ew ” railroad bonds
recognized as valid at 25 per cent, and bonds o f 1866 and 1868 at 15
per c e n t nothing being given fo r overdue coupons; and (2) fo r new
consolidated 6 per cent bonds due in 1919, fo r which the North Carolina
RR, construction bonds w ere made exchangeable at par, holders o f con
struction bonds abating $240 o f overdue interest on each $1,000 bond.
The now bonds, both 4s and 6s, carry tax-receivable coupons, and are
exem pt from “ all State, county or corporate taxation or assessment,
direct or indirect, general or special.”
An amendment to tho State Constitution passed by the Legislature
in 1879 and ratified by popular vote in 1880, forbids the General
Assembly to pay or recognize as valid the follow ing b o n d s: Special ta x
bonds $11,366,000; bonds to Chatham RR., 1868, $1,030,000, and to
Williamston & Tarboro RR., $150,000; Penitentiary bonds o f 1868
$44,000. The special ta x bonds are in 3 classes, class 1 bearing the
ooupon o f A pril 1869 and sin oe; class 2 bearing the coupon o f Oct.
1869; olass 3 bearingthe ooupon o f A pril, 1870 Holders o f the special
tax bonds brought suit to establish the validity o f their bonds and
the oase was decided in favor o f the 8tate.

T O T A L D E B T R E COGN IZED AND T O T A L A D J U S T E D The funding act o f March 4 ,1 8 7 9 , was extended to Jan. 1 ,1 8 9 7 . The
recognized fundable debt which had been funded and the recognized

To tho foregoing 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 o f the North Carolina Railroad provides a fund
for the payment o f tho Interest thereon, and the State holds three
millions in the stock o f the road, which i f sold will much m ore than
pay the principal.

HISTORY OF D E B T .—We ore com pelled to om it the Interesting
details o f Georgia's early history In debt making heretofore given. The
fa ll statement will be found In the Statu and C rrr BCI-1-lkm xnt
fo r April, 1993, pages 165 and 16*1. The debt o f the State Is
now being steadily reduced, 9100,000 being devoted each year
to that purpose. M on-over the State Constitution adopted In
December, 1977, provides against the creation o t any bonded
debt " e x c e p t to repel invasion, suppress Insurrection, o r defend the
State in time o f w ar," $200,000 being made the lim it fo r floating in'
debtedness which may be tem porarily Incurred in caae o f dcflciency in
the revenues. The credit o f the com m onwealth has in tact becom e so
good that in May, 1990, an Isaue o f 91,9:13,000 o f 3>* per cent refunding
bonds, having an average life o f K 9 years, were sold at par.

t Overdue interest............................
PAR VA LU E O F B O N D S.—The bonds are all for $1,000.
IN T E R E S T .—Interest on all the bonds is overdue—on m ost o f the
old bank bonds since J uly, 1842, on the funding bonds o f 1869 and 1870
etncc 1873 or thereabouts. The funding bonds o f 1875 (Loughborougbs)
were all retired prior to May, 1885, and those now outstanding have
been reissued since; hence the amount o f overdue interest upon them is
com paratively small.
T O T A L D E B T , Et c .— The subjoined statement shows the total
bonded debt recognized by the State and overdue interest thereon on
the first o f June, 1896, and on the first o f October 1894,1892 and 1890.

Total d ebt.................$4,438,995 $4,823,022 $4,909,432 $4,976,997
From the above statement it w ould appear that the State’s gross in
debtedness had increased between the years 1888 and 1890 by $114,982,
whereas in fact there was a reduction o f $395,415. The discrepancy is
accounted for by the fact that $255,000 bonds and the accrued interest
thereon, which prior to 1890 had been omitted from the Treasurer’s re
p ort were In that year included in the indebtedness. The bonds in
question were found to be legal obligations o f the State.
Of the total debt about one-half is held by the United States G overn
ment, but the State has claims against the General Governm ent to a
large amount.
DEBT N O T RE C OGN IZE D, H O L F O R D S , Et c .—A summ ary of
the unrecognized debt appears below. To aid in distinguishing the
H olfords from the valid bonds o f the State It should be said that under
the act o f A pril 6,1 869 , were issued two series o f f tmding bonds. One
was dated July 1 , 18G9, and numbered from 1 to 1,000, inclusive. A ll of
this aeries are printed in blue ink and are non-H olfords—in other words,
are recognized obligations. The seoond series were dated January 1,
1870, numbered from 1 to 2,050, inclusive, and are printed in red ink.
O f this series numbers'491 to 1,860, both Inclusive, are the H olfords
which constitute part o f the unrecognized debt. The unrecognized debt

MUNICIPAL AND COUNTY BOND LA W —A State law approved
in 1893 has done much to widen the market for new Texas m unicipal
loans. A t present before any bond can be issued by a m unicipality or
county It must receive tho certificate o f tho A ttorney General that It
j is a lawful obligation. It m ust then be registered iu tho office o f tho
1 State Comptroller, aud when tho bond is so issued its validity caunot
bo questioned except ou the grounds o f fraud or forgery. Tho tex t of
the law will be found iu tho S t a t e a n d C it y S u p p l e m e n t o f A pril,
1895, page 178.

1880............. 1,591,749 I 1800.................. 004,215 |
In 1800-70 Increase was 214,364, or 35*48 per cen t; iu 1870-80 773,
170, or 94*45 per c en t; In 1880-90 643,771, or 40*44 per cent.
Of the total population In 1890 492,837 were blacks, which compares
with 393.384 in 1880,253, 475 in 1870, 182,931 in 1860 aud 58,558 in
1850. It will be observed that the proportion o f the colored race has
