DANA COMPANY, PUBLISHERS, P ine S t r e e t , Post Office Box, 958. corner of P earl S t r ee t , N ew Y ork THE GROWTH OF CITIES AS DISCLOSED B Y THE NEW CENSUS. The results of the enumeration of the population of the United States, as made by the Census of 1900, have not as yet been completed. Up to the date of the writing of this article (October 15) bulletins for only four of the StateB had been issued, and these all small States. In the meantime, however, we have the figures for the larger cities, which form an interesting study by themselves. The Census authorities have published the returns for all the cities whose num bers exceed 25,000. The figures for the places hav ing less than 25,000 inhabitants will not be separately announced, but will only be given out as part of the State bulletins in which all the various civil divisions appear. We have incorporated in our debt state ments on subsequent pages all the 1900 Census re turns as far as we could obtain them up to the time of going to press, and we bring together separately in this article, at the end, the cities reported as having 25,000 inhabitants or over. As in previous decades, the cities again show a large growth in population. But there is a wide difference in this respect between the cities in the different geographical groups. A very noticeable and distinct ive feature of the returns is the large increases dis closed in the New England and the Middle States, and the much smaller increases in the South and parts of the West. In this we have reference to both the ratios and the amounts of gain. We give both in our tables, as obviously conclusions can not safely be based on one alone. Often exaggerated importance is given to an ex ceptionally large percentage of increase, when as a mat ter of fact it is exceptional only because it is based on a small total. The compilations further below reveal 2 0 , 1900. seven places with ratios of increase over 100 per cent, but in only one of these seven instances does such per centage represent an addition to population of as much as 20,000. Manifestly, a large ratio of growth is much more difficult to maintain in the case of the very large cities than in the case of the small cities. Viewed in this light the marked preponderance of growth in the cities of the New England and the Mid dle States becomes an especially striking feature. New England particularly has reason to feel proud of her record. In that part of the country are located the great cotton and woolen-manufacturing estab ishments, the shoe industry and the like. Giving to the prominence which cotton-manufacturing has latterly assumed in the South, fear has at times been expressed lest New Ei gland might suffer greatly from the effects of such new competition. Some have gone so far as to pre dict the ultimate decay of the New England cotton goods industry. Similarly, we have been told the supremacy of New England was threatened in other industries because of new competition springing up in different parts of the country. But there is no evidence of impending decay o r decline in the Census records of the population. On the contrary these records indicate unmistakably con tinued growth and advancement. Massachusetts pres6l ts an array of gains that cannot be matched anywhere else in the country. Thus New Bedford shows an addition to population during the ten years of 21,709, or 53*30 per cent; Somerville an addition of 21,491, or 53*52 per cent; Springfield 17,880, or 40*47 per cent; Worcester 33,766, or 39*89 per cent; Bfockton 12,769, or 46*78 per cent; Fall River 30,465, or 40*95 per cent; and so we might go through the list, only two of the twenty cities having over 25,000 population showing less than 20 per cent increase, one of the two being Gloucester, which reflects the decline in fisheries by recording only 5*96 per cent gain. A t Boston the addition has been 112,415, or 25*07 per cent. In the other New England States, the story is the same. Providence records 43,451 increase, or 32*88 per ce n t; Pawtucket, 11,598, or 41*97 per cent; Bridgeport, 22,130, or 45*29 per cent; Hartford, 26,620, or 50*01 per cent; New Haven, 26,729, or 32*88 per cent; Waterbury, 17,213, or 60 09 per cent. In Pennsylvania, the great development of the iron and steel and the coal industries is redacted in a large number of gains much like those in Massachusetts. Philadelphia has added nearly a quarter of a million (246,733) to its population, but in ratio this is only 2 STATE AND CITY S l l f f J.EMENT. 23*57 per cent. On the other hand Pittsburg has gained 82,999, or 34*78 per cent; Beading, 20,300, or 34*61 per cent; Scranton, 26,811, or 35*65 per cent; Wilkes Barre, 14,003, or 37*13 per cent; York, 12,861, or 61*85 per cent; Allentown, 10,188, or 40*38 per cent; Chester, 13,762, or 68*04 per cent; Johnstown* 14,131, or 64*81 per cent; New Castle, 16,739, or 144*30 per cent, etc., etc. In New York, New York City completely over shadows the rest of the State. Buffalo has enlarged its numbers 96,555, or 37*77 per cent; Schenectady 11,788, or 59*19 per cent; Yonkers 15,898, or 49*63 per cent; and IJtica 12,376, or 28*12 per cent. But elsewhere, outside of this city, the growth has been rather small, and two of the cities, namely Albany and Troy, actually show, according to the •Census, a slight decrease as compared with ten years ago. If the decrease is real and not due to imperfections in the method of taking the Census, we have seen no where an adequate explanation of it. The gain in The Greater New Y ork reaches 37*12 per cent, and we regard that as the most striking fact disclosed by the Census— the fact that in this city, where population already was so large, such a heavy ratio of increase should have been possible. In numbers the increase falls not very much short of a full million, the exact figure being 930,611. We get a better idea of the magnitude of this gain by comparing it with that of some of the other large cities. Take that thriving city in the West— Chicago. Her people certainly have every reason to feel satisfied with her growth. They have not been able to fulfill their expectation o f a population of 2,000,000. Nevertheless the actual figure of 1,698,575 shows an addition of 598,725 or 54*44 per cent over the population in 1890. And yet large and noteworthy though this gain is, it would have to be supplemented by the gains at Boston and Philadelphia to make up an amount equal to the increment at New York. Of course in speaking of New Y ork’s growth we have reference to the area now comprised in The Greater New Y ork; in 1890 the old city of New Y ork included merely the territory now embraced in the boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx. We have adjusted the 1890 figures to make them conform to the same basis of territory as at present. Vol. L X X I But the story of New York’s prominence does not end here. As is well known, not all the people who do business in this city live in this State. A good many of them reside in New Jersey. Moreover, quite a number of manufacturing places are growing up in New Jersey by reason of their propinquity to this city. The business offices are here, but the factories are in the neighboring State. Hence the marvelous growth revealed by all the cities contiguous to New York deserves to be taken into account. In Jersey City the increment is not so noteworthy, though amounting to 43,430, or 26*64 per cent; but Newark shows an addition of 64,240, or 35*33 per cent; Passaic, 14,749, or 113*21 per cent; Paterson, 26,824, or 34*24 percent; Hoboken, 15,716, o r 36*01; Elizabeth, 14,366, or 38*04 per cent; Bayonne, 13,689, or 71*92 per cent. The question is already being asked, anent the great gains made by all the large manufacturing cities, “ How much further is the city to grow at the expense of the rural country?” The answer is, just so long as the United States continues to advance in manufacturing activity and prominence. The social philosopher may deplore the tendency of people toflock to the cities, but after all an expanding city population is the necessary concomitant of industrial development. The attractions of the city may be potent in drawing population, but people certainly would not stay there if they could not find something; to do. Wage-earners cannot subsist or exist in idle ness. Hence the fact that they remain, to form part of the population, is the best evidence that they are wanted and needed. Moreover, it is perfectly obviou* that manufacturing development could not go on without the necessary hands to carry on the processes of manufacture. This is really the secret of the smaller growth at many Western and Southern points. In those sec tions manufacturing has not yet attained the stage o f advancement it has in the East; there is consequently less need for extra hands, with the result of corre spondingly smaller additions to population. When ex pansion in trade or industries furnishes a call for moremen, the men are quick to respond, and their families of course follow with them. We have an excellent illustration in the noteworthy expansion disclosed at < ------- Population.------- ■ / Increase.---- > , — 1900. 1890. Number. P O all the principal Lake ports.

When we get into a manu facturing State like Georgia we find the comparisons better, Augusta recording an advance of 18*44 per cent, and Atlanta and Savannah, respectively, 37*14 and 25*60 per cent. The same is true of Kentucky and in a measure also of Tennessee, though in this last instance there is considerable variation, Nash ville and Chattanooga having gained respectively ■6*17 and 11*65, and Knoxville and Memphis respec tively 44*83 and 58*65 per cent. In the West, Bay City and Saginaw are reported to have less inhabitants than ten years ago, the reason probably being the decline of the Michigan lumber industry. Sioux City, Lincoln and Omaha find them selves in the same predicament. In the last-men tioned city it is now claimed that the 1890 figures had been padded; as a partial offset to the apparent loss there is a large increase in South Omaha. St. Joseph, Mo., is distinguished for an increase of 50,655, or 96*81 per cent. Cincinnati, on the border of the South, has gained only 9*77 per cent. On the Pacific Coast, both the North Pacific and the South Pacific are evidently gaining at the ex pense of San Francisco. The latter has added only 43,785 to numbers, being 14*64 per cent. Los Angeles on the south has added 52,084, or 103*35 per cent, while on the north Portland reports its total enlarged 28,380, or 45*74 per cent, and Seattle 37,834, or 88*32 per cent. Tacoma has barely held its own, and Spokane in the eastern part of Washington has gained 16,*926, or 84*96 per cent.

The decision was bounty was not in the nature of a gift to it, but that that of the Michigan Supreme Court, and was wholly it would not have engaged in the business except for against the right of the State to apply public moneys this A ct of the Legislature; that in reliance upon the Act, it built a plant at large expense, and that it com in that way. All the judges concurred in the opinion. In 1897 the Michigan Legislature enacted a law Dlied with the provisions requiring it to pay producer© providing for a bounty of one cent per pound for of beets at the rate of $4 per ton, and that therefore seven years on all beet sugar produced by factories in the honor and integrity of the State are involved. the State of Michigan.

For details of arrangement see Secretary G »ge’ s circular with reference to the operations for carrying out the refunding provisions of the bill in Chronicle , March 17,1900, page 509. Of these 2 per cents there were outstanding October 1,1900, according to debt statement, $335,250,600. “ LOAN OF 1 9 0 8 -1 9 1 8 .’ '—(Column 7.) The bonds included under this head sire an issue of $200,000,000 3 per cents. They were authorized by Aot of June 13 ls9 8 , and are known as the “ War loan.” The law provided that in allotting Baid bonds the Individual subscrip tions of the lowest amount must be first allotted. On the day the Act was signed a Treasury circular was issued (see circular in Chronicle of June 18 1898, page 1168,) inviting subscriptions for 32 days, from June 13 to July 14, for the amount of bonds stated, in both coupon and regis tered form, coupons in denominations of $20, $100, $500 and $1,000, and registered in denominations of same amounts, and also in $5,000 and $10,000, dat^d August 1 1898, redeemable in coin at the pleasure of the United States after ten years from date of issue, and due and payable August l 1918. See oiroular for further details. Subscriptions reached the amount of $1,325,000,000. The amount now outstanding (Ootober 1 1900) is $121,848,840. “ FUNDED LOAN OF 1 9 07 ” (Column 2) 4 per cents. The act of July 14,1870, authorized the issue of 1,000 million dollars of bonds at 4 per cent, payable in coin of the present standard value, at the pleasure of the United States after thirty years; these bonds to be exempt from all taxes or duties of the United States, as well as from taxation in any form by or under State, municipal or local authority. Bonds to be sold at not less than par in coin, and prooeeds to be applied to the redemption of outstanding 5-20s, par for par. Outstanding (October 11900), $341,348,900. “ REFUNDING C ER TIFICA TES” (Column 3).—Act of February 26 1879 authorized the Secretary of the Treasury to issue in exchange for lawful money of the United States certificates of deposit of the denomination of ten dollars, bearing interest at the rate of 4 per cent, and convertible at any time, with accrued interest, into the 4 per cent bonds described in the Refunding aot; the money so received to be applied only to the payment of the bonds bearing interest at a rate not less than 5 per cent. On March 12 1879 the issue of these certificates and their exohange into 4 per cent bonds were authorized; the certificates were to draw 4 per cent interest from April 1 1879 and were convert! me in sums o f $50 or its multiples. The amount issued at the close of the fiscal year (June 30 1879) was $39,308,110, but they had been converted so rapidly that there were outstanding at that date only $12,848,210. On Ootober 31 1879 the entire authorization had been reached, the maximum amount of the issue being $40,012,750. Of these there were still outstanding on October 11900 a total of $35,170. “ LOAN OF 1 9 2 5 .” —(Column 5.) Sales of bonds included under this designation were effected (1) in February 1895 to the amount o f $62,315,400 and (2) in February 1896 to the amount of $100,000,000. In a message to Congress under date of February 8,1895 (published in the Chronicle February 9 1895, page 244), President Cleveland stated in substance that in pursuance of Section 3700 o f the Revised Statues the details of an arrangement have this day been concluded whereby bonds authorized under the act of July 14 1875, payable in coin at the pleasure of the United States after the first day of Feb., 1925, with interest at the rate of 4 per cent per annum, to the amount of $62,315,400, are to be issued for the purchase of gold coin amounting to a sum slightly in excess of $65,000,000, to be delivered to the Treasury of, the United States, which sum added to the gold now held in our reserve w ill so restore such reserve as to make it amount to something more than $100,000,000. Such a premium is to be allowed to the Government upon the bonds as to fix the rate of interest upon the amount of gold realized at 33ip. 0. per annum. At least one-half of thegoldto be obtained is to be supplied from abroad. Section 3700 of the Revised Statutes is as follo w s: “ Sec. 3700. The Secretary of the Treasury may purchase coin with any of the bonds or notes of the United States authorized by law at such rates and upon suoh terms as he may deem most advantageous to the publio interest.” For a construction of the “ Refunding Act of 1870” and of the “ Resumption Aot of 1875,” see Chronicle , February 18 1893, page 205. The issue in February 1896 was an ordinary offering, open to all bidders, of $100,000,000 o( the same bonds as the foregoing-— same in date, same in time of maturity, same in rate of interest and time of interest payments. Consequently both issues are oalled the ‘ 'Loan of 1925,’ ' o f which there are outstanding $162,315,400. 6 STATE AND CITT SUfftENTENT. Vol. L X X I .. “ l o a n QF 19Q4.,,—'(Oolumn 4.) The a e to f January 14 1875 authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to use any surplus revenues from tüne to time In the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, and to issue,.sell, dispose of, at not less than par in coin, either of the descriptions s ^ 8 de80ribed m < £ « » 0* of July 14 1870 for the purpose of redeeming on and after January 1 1879 in coin, at office o f Assistant Treasurer of the United States at New York, the outstanding legal-tender notes when presented in sums o f not íes» ftn fifty dollars. Under this authorization, and for the purpose mentioned, there were issued in Feb., 1894. payable in 10 years, $50 000 000 nf 000 of 5 per cents and in Nov., 1894, there were issued $50,000,000 more for similar bonds fo™same NowOutstanding $40,700,350. * In April, 1895, we gave a table showing the debt o f the United States on the first day o f 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 o f the issues now outstanding, and yet carries the reoord sufficiently far back to show the nature and extent o f the Government securities when the refunding operations of that period began. It has the advantage too, of giving separate and distinct each issue o f bonds now outstanding. The statement is subjoined. _____________PRINCIPAL OF THE PUBLIC DEBT OF THE UNITED STATES PROM JULY 1, 1876 TO OCTOBER 1, 1900. 3. 4. 5. 10.

In the States where these limitations are provisions of the Constitution of course debts contracted in excess of suoh limita tion are absolutely void. In Maine the amendment to the Constitution took effect January 2,1878, and is in the following form and words: “ Article X X II. Limitation of Municipal Indebtedness. No city or town “ shall create any debt or liability which, singly or in the aggregate, “ with previous debts or liabilities, shall exceed five per centum o f the “ last regular valuation of said city or tow n; provided, however, that “ the adoption of this article shall not be construed as applying to any “ fund received in trust by the said city or town, nor to any loan for the “ purpose of renewing existing loans, or for war, or to temporary loans “ to be paid out of money raised by taxation during the year in which “ they are made.” SAVINGS BANKS' IN V ES TM E N TS-P O W ER S AND RESTRIC TIO N S.— The provisions regulating the investments and loans o f sav ings banks and institutions for savings in the State o f Maine are con tained in Public Laws 1895, Chapter 161, Public Laws 1893, Chapter 170, and Revised Statutes, Chapter 47, Sections 102 and 103.

DEBT LIMITATIONS.—There appears to be nothing In the Consti tution or in the Statutes of Vermont providing a general limit to the debt-making power of municipalities. Whatever in each case the Leg islature authorizes, the city, town, county or other civil division can issue. Of course the purpose of the improvement must he o f a public character. Railroad subscriptions by towns are authorized by Section 2760, chapter 132 of the Revised Statutes, the section being as follows : Section 2760. A town may aid in the construction of a railroad or ganized under the general law by issuing bonds to aid such railroad, by taking capital stock therein, or in such other manner as It directsbut the liability so assumed shall not exceed eight times the grand list of the town at the time. Such ’ aid shall he given in the way provided in this chapter. It will he noticed that this section contains a limit to the power granted of making subscriptions In aid of railroads—to w it: That the subscriptions sbail not exceed eight times “ the grand list.” To evolve the “ grand list” in Vermont, the authorities first prepare a schedule of all the property, real and personal, of each individual, with valuations entered at their real value in money, deducting debts ow ing; after this is done “ the grand list ” is made up by taking one per cent of that amount, according to Section 317, Chapter 25, of the Revised Statutes, which is as follows: “ All taxable property shall be set in the list at one “ per cent of its value in money on the first day of April of the year “ in which the list is made.” Following Section 2760, above cited, which authorizes subscriptions In aid of railroads, are other sections describing the method in which 14 STATE ANB CITY SUfftEMEWT. these subscriptions must be made, by calling a town meeting, voting, &e., &c. Then follows Section 2766, authorizing the issue o f bonds. Section 2766. Such town may issue bonds, with coupons payable semi-annually, at a rate of interest not exceeding seven per cent, to aid such road. The only other general authority granted for the issue of bonds by municipal corporations in Vermont is that given for refunding out standing bonds and notes. The Sections which grant this power are Sections 2769, 2775 and 2776, Chapter 132 of the Revised Statutes, Sections 2769 and 2776 are as follows: Section 2769. A town which has outstanding and unpaid negotiable notes or bonds, issued to pay for stock subscribed to a railroad com pany, under any act of the general assembly, may issue other nego tiable notes or bonds to pay or retire such outstanding notes or bonds. Section 2,775. A town having outstanding and unpaid orders, notes, bonds or coupons, issued under any act of the Legislature, for the pur pose of the ejection of public buildings, or in aid o f public improve ments^ or for the payment of soldiers’ bounties, may issue other negotiable notes or bonds for the purpose of retiring the outstanding orders, notes, bonds and coupons, m the same manner that it may issue new notes or bonds to pay or retire outstanding notes or bonds issued In aid of a railroad; and the powers, restrictions, duties and liabilities o f the town and town officers in the matter shall be the same as is provided by law in the case of the refunding by a town of town bonds issued in aid of a railroad; and the interest on such new notes or bonds shall be provided for in the same manner. By Section 2776 municipal corporations other than towns have the same refunding powers granted them which are conferred upon towns b y the two sections last above cited. The only other section whioh we need quote is Section 2751 of Ohapter 130, whioh names the objects for which towns may vote money. I f money is appropriated for any other object, the Charter or a special statute must be looked to for the authority. Section 2751.—Towns in town meetings may vote such sums of money as they judge necessary for the support o f the poor; for laying out and repairing nighways; for the prosecution ana defense of the common rights and interests of the inhabitants, and for other necessary incidental town expenses. POPULATION OF ST A T E .—Accordingto the first census (1790) the population of Vermont was 85,425, of which 44,756 were males, 40,398 were females and 271 free colored. The total in 1800 was 154,465Since that date each ten year aggregate is given below. 18 9 0 ................332,422 1860................315,098 1 8 3 0 ................280,652 18 8 0 ................332,286 1850................314,120 1820................235,966 1 8 7 0 ...............330,551 1840................291,948 1810................217,895 SAVINGS BANKS IN VESTM EN TS-PRIVILEG ES AND RE STRICTIO N S.—The provisions of law relating to savings banks are found in Chapter 174 of the Vermont statutes, Sections 4066 to 4131 inclusive, as amended from time to time. The first section having ref erence to investments is Section 4096,. which treats of real estate mortgages. It authorizes the investment of 70 p.o. of the assets in such mortgages, one-sixth at least of whioh “ shall be upon real estate in this State ’’—that is Vermont. A proviso adds that only 50 per cent of the assets may be invested in mortgages on real estate outside of Vermont. Sections 4097 and 4098 relate only to obtaining and paying for in surance. Section 4099 is as foil ows, and has reference to investment on personal security. Section 4099—No loans or investments on personal security shall be made except upon at least two approved names, not less than two of whom reside in this State or within fifty miles of the institution making such investment, and such personal loans or investments shall not be for a longer time than one year; and not more than one-third of the assets of a savings bank, savings institution or trust company shall be invested in personal securities. Section 4100 only covers a single point; that is to say it restricts to five per cent of the deposits the amount which a savings bank may invest in the lot and building for the transaction of its business, and adds that a revenue may be derived from portions of the building not required for the bank’s use. The next section (Section 4101) covers the most important of the provisions relating to investments that are contained in the law. We give the section in full below. The separation into paragraphs and the figures in parenthesis|whioh number and begin the paragraphs are our own. Section 4101—With the foregoing exceptions, the moneys deposited in Savings’ Banks, Savings’ Institutions and Trust Companies, and the income therefrom, shall be invested only as follow s: (1.)

In the public funds of any of the States named in this section; in notes with a pledge of any of the aforesaid securities, including de posit books or deposit receipts, issued by a savings bank, savings institution or trust company or banking association located in this State, as collateral, such notes not to exceed the par or market value o f such security; (7.) But no savings bank, savings institution or trust company shall hold, by way of investment or as security for loans, more than ten per cent of the capital stock of any one bank, nor invest more than ten per (sent of its deposits, nor more than thirty-five thousand dollars in the capital stock of any one bank; and no such investments shall be made In the capital stock o f any such banks, owned or loaned upon, to exceed in the aggregate one-fourth of the deposits of any savings bank, savings institution or trust company. Vol. L X X I The amount of loan whioh can be made to one person or corporation, &o., is restricted by the next section, and we give it in full. It is as follows: Section 4102—No savings bank, savings institution or trust company shall loan to any one person, firm or corporation, or the individual members thereof, more than five per cent of its deposits, nor more than thirty thousand dollars; nor shall such loan on personal security exceed ten thousand dollars.

Statutes general and special have, however, been passed * Later estimate o f population. on this subject with respect to Cities and Towns. 9 16 STATE AND CITY 8UmEMENT. First among these Statutes needing mention we have Chapter 29 of the Revised or “ Public Statutes.” The important sections to be cited contained in Chapter 29 are as follows. We give only the substance o f the sections, not the words. Section 1—Provides that cities and towns shall not incur debt except in the manner and within the limitations prescribed in this chapter. Section 2—Provides (as a preliminary for determining whether the limitation fixed by Section 4*has been reached by any municipality) that the water debt and the sinking funds shall be deducted from the total debt. Section 3—Provides that the first 17 sections of chapter 29 shall not apply to debts incurred in aid of railroads, to water scrip issued under special statutes, or to indebtedness for a fire district. Section 4—Provides that no city or town except as provided in the following section shall become indebted in an amount which exceeds 3 per cent on the last preceding valuation [but amended as noted below.] Section 5—Provides that cities and towns which were indebted on the 13th day of June, 1875, to an amount not less than 2 per cent on valuation for that year may “ increase such indebtedness to the extent “ of an additional one per cent on that valuation and no more.” Section 6—Provides that cities, <fcc., “ may by ordinary vote incur debts for tempory loans ” in anticipation of the year’s taxes and of the year’s taxes next ensuing. Section 7—Provides that other debts than those referred to in section 6 shall be incurred only by a vote of two-thirds of the voters present at a town meeting, of two-thirds of all the members of each branch of the city council, and approved by the Mayor; or if the Mayor disapproves, by another like vote after notice of such disapproval. Section 8—Provides that debts incurred for water must be payable within 30 years; in constructing sewers within 20 years; all other debts within 10 years. Sections 9 to 17 inclusive, contain interesting provisions relating to sinking funds and other allied matters. Section 18—Provides that any city which at a meeting of its voters has accepted by a two-thirds vote any act to supply said city with water, may by a vote of a majority of the members of each branch of the city council contract debts and issue bonds for the purpose. Section 19—Provides that towns, &c., shall not increase their debt by subscriptions in aid of railroads beyond 3 per cent of valuation; but the limitation of this section shall not apply to temporary loans men tioned in Section 6. Sections 20 to 23, which are the final ones of Chapter 29, have no reference to the subject we are discussing and need not be cited. As the reader has seen, the foregoing (Section 4, Chapter 29) fixes the general debt limitation for cities and towns at 3 per cent. This general limitation was lowered by a later law. The provision is found in Chapter 312, Section 2 of the Laws of 1885, which provision reduces the general debt limitation o f cities from 3 per cent to 2 ^ per cent on the average valuation for the preceding three years. Worcester, Lynn, Gloucester and Brockton are in the same Section exempted from the operation of the Section until January 1,1889—later than 1889 the only exemptions we find in the Statutes are special in their purpose, not general. In 1893, however, authority was given for an addition of *2 per cent, to provide public play grounds—that Is to say, under Chap ter 225, Laws of 1893, any town or city (except Boston) may incur an indebtedness o f k % of the assessed valuation beyond the limit of in debtedness for playgrounds The temporary loans provision, as it appears above in Section 6 (Chapter 29), is also changed by Section 4, Chapter 312, by omitting “ and o f the year next ensuing; ” so that at present cities and towns by ordinary vote can incur debts for temporary loans in anticipation of the taxes of the year only in which such debts are incurred. Temporary loans (for a term not exceeding one year) in anticipation o f money to be derived from an issue of bonds or other form o f indebt edness, duly authorized, are provided for by a statute approved June 14,1898. The same Act states that the time within which said bonds» etc., shall become due shall not be extended by reason of said tempor ary loan. The foregoing statements cover all the material facts general in their application passed with respect to debt limitation. In addition to these General Provisions there are various Special Laws which contain exceptions to the general law as to debt limitation, which apply to Cambridge, Lynn, Newburyport, Waltham, Worcester, &o,, &o. Boston was f* rmerly subject to a special statute (Chapter 178 of the Laws of 1885) limiting its debt to 2 per cent, but this was repealed by Chapter 399 o f the Acts of 1900, and that city is now subject to Chap ter 312 o f the Laws of 18*5 as above. SAVINGS BANK IN V ES T ME N TS -P O W E R S AND RESTRIC TIO N S.— The provisions regulating the investments and loans of savings banks and institutions for savings in Massachusetts are con tained in Section 21, Chapter 317, acts of 1894, and amendments thereof.

The following, however, are two sections taken from Title 7, Chapter 36 (page 157) of the Revised Statutes o f the State of 1896. Since 1878 these provisions have been in force, and consequently 3 per cent of the taxable property has been the limit of the power of each town (which includes city) to create debt. Section 20. “ The outstanding notes, bonds and contracts o f towns shall be paid and be fulfilled according to the tenor thereof, and all public worKs now authorized to be prosecuted shall be prosecuted, and all indebtedness now authorized to be incurred on account thereof may be incurred according to the tenor of the authority therefor. Section 21. No town shall, without special statutory authority therefor, incur any debt in excess of three per centum o f the taxable property of such town, including the indebtedness of such town on the tenth day of April, one thousand eight hundred seventy-eight, but the giving o f a new note or bond, for a pre-existing debt, or for money borrowed and applied to the payment of such pre-existing debt, is excepted from the provisions of this section, and the amount of any sinking fund shall be deducted in computing such indebtedness.” A proposed new constitution, containing certain limitations as to State and other debts, failed of adoption at the November election in 1898, was again submitted to popular vote in 1899 and again defeated. SAVINGS BANK INVESTM ENTS AND R E S TR IC TIO N S .-In the Revised Statutes of Rhode Island (which were revised in 1896)Sections 54, 55, 56, etc., of Chapter 178, Title 19 (on page 548), will be found the provisions of law with reference to Savings Bank Invest ments. Section 54, which recites in detail the stocks, bonds, etc., these institutions are allowed to put their money in is as follow s: Section 54. Institutions for savings shall invest their receipts— (1) In public stocks or bonds of any State or of the United States, (2) Or In any bank stock, or in notes or bonds of any town or city, (3) Or in notes of any school district or fire district in any New E ng land State. (4) Or in such corporate stocks or bonds as they may deem safe and secure, (5) Or they may discount notes, bonds or drafts of individuals or cor porations, with two other responsible endorsers, sureties or guarantors, (6) Or the notes, bonds or drafts of individuals or corporations secured by the public notes, stocks or bonds of any State of the United States, or o f any town or city or of any school district or hre district in any New England State, or by the stock or bonds of any corporation which may be deemed to be safe, or by mortgage on real estate. Concerning Sections 55 and 56, the first appears to give savings institutions quite extensive powers as to making and keeping deposits in commercial banks. When so kept, however, they are to be kept “ payable on demand whether drawing interest or not.” The two sections are subjoined. Section 55.—No such institution shall have an amount exceeding one-half of its receipts invested in notes, bonds or drafts of individuals or corporations, unless secured by some public notes, bonds or stocks as aforesaid, or bv mortgage on real estate: but the preceding section shall not be so construed as to forbid any such institution from placing and holding on deposit in any bank such reasonable amount of their re ceipts as is oustomary and they may deem proper, payable on demand, whether drawing interest or not. Section 5«.—no money shall be loaned by any institution for, sav ings to any trustee, director or other officer of such institution. For the’ other provisions of the law as they now are we would refer our readers to the Revised Statutes of 1896. Cities , Counties and T owns IN STATE OF RHODE ISLAN D . B R I S T O L . . — G eo. H.

It would seem according to the foregoing amendment of section 1800 that only forty per cent of the deposits and surplus of any savings bank may be employed on personal security, but that no limit is placed upon the amount which may be invested in the other securi ties mentioned in the section. The subjoined sections, 1803,1804,1805 and 1806, provide certain restrictions with reference to loans—section 1803 restricting loans on Mortgage Security to Manufacturing Corporations and Ecclesiastical Societies; section 1804 restricting amount of loans to one party on personal security ; section 1805 forbidding loans on single names. Sec. 1803. No loan shall be made by any savings bank to any corpor ation or association or ecclesiastical society, secured by mortgage upon their property, unless the same shall be accompanied by the individual guarantee of some responsible party or parties, or by other collateral security of equal value to the amount of the sum loaned, and the directors or trustees of any such bank consenting to any loan contrary to the provisions of this section shall be held individually responsible to the full extent of such loan. Sec. 1804. No savings bank having more than twenty-five thousand dollars deposits shall loan on personal security to any one person, oompany, or interest, more than three per cent of its deposits at the time o f making such loan. Sec. 1805. No savings bank shall buy, or lend any money upon, any obligation on w hich only one person or firm shall be holden, without taking additional security for the same equivalent to the guaranty or Indorsement of some other responsible party. Besides the ordinary safeguards which are in all savings bank laws there is one of n j little importance that ought to aid materially in pre venting incautious loans. We refer to the provision below. Sec. 1806.—When any loan or investment is made by any savings bank, the names of thé directors or trustees consenting thereto shall be entered upon the records of said bank, and said record shall be at all times open to the inspection of the corporators and auditors of said bank and the Bank Commissioners, and ne prim a facie evidence o f the truth o f the statements therein contained.

(3) No county or city whose present indebtedness exceeds ten per centum of the assessed valuation of its real estate subject to taxation, shall be allowed to become indebted in any further amount until such indebtedness shall be reduced within such limit.

(7) Whenever hereafter the boundaries of any city shall become the same as those of a county, the power of the county to become indebted snail cease,,but the debt of the county at that time existing shall not be included as part of the city debt. [At the November 1899 election an amendment to the Constitution was adopted changing this para graph to read as follow s: Whenever the boundaries of any city are the same as those o f a county, or when any city shall include within its boundaries more than one county, the power of any county wholly included within such city to become indebted shall cease, but the debt of the couDty heretofore existing shall not, for the purposes of this section, be reckoned as a part of the city debt.] (8) The amount hereafter to be raised by tax for county or city pur poses, in any county containing a city of over one hundred thousand inhabitants, or any such city of this State, in addition to providing for the principal and interest of existing debt, shall not in the aggregate exceed in any one year two per centum of the assessed valuation o f the real and personal estate of such county or city, to be ascertained as prescribed in this section in respect to county or city debt. By the terms of the foregoing section, Paragraph (1), every “ County, City, Town or Village” is included in the prohibition against (1) loan ing “ its money or credit,” (2) in becoming “ directly or indirectly the owner o f stock in or bonds of any association or corporation,” and (3) in incurring “ any indebtedness except for County, City, Town or Vil lage purposes.” Most of the other paragraphs include only Counties and Cities. According to Paragraph (6) it seems that “ any debt hereafter in curred by any portion or part of a city, if there shall be any such debt, shall be included in ascertaining the power of the city to become other wise indebted.” We would also call special attention to Paragraph (7), declaring that [as amended in 1899] whenever the boundaries of any city may be the same as those of a county or whan any city shall include within its boundaries more than one county, “ the power o f any county wholly in cluded within such city to become indebted shall cease, but the debt of the county heretofore existing shall not * * be reckoned as a part of the city debt.” In May 1886 the New York Court of Appeals decided at the end of a litigation begun in July 1885 that the sinking fun d was not a part of the city debt within the meaning of the above provision of the Consti tution limiting the creation of debt to 10 per cent of the assessed valua tion of the real estate. Towns and Villages are not limited in their debt-making power by the Constitution. Those municipalities will be governed by general or special statutes. The 1895 Legislature passed an act “ for the protection of bona fide purchasers and holders o f coupon bonds and of municipal corporations against misfeasance, malfeasance or negligence of public officers.” The full text of this law was published m th e C h r o n i c l e of June 8 . 1895, V. 60, p. 1023. EXEMPTION FROM TAXATION.—There is one general New York statute with reference to exemption from taxation “ for town, county, municipal or State purposes ” of a class of bonds “ issued by any village, city, town or county” in the State, which seems to have a wider appli cation than is generally known. As originally passed in 1881 the ex emption applied only to bonds issued to pay up or retire bonds “ created to aid in the construction of any railroad.” A new law was passed in 1886 (Chapter 316) making the tax exemption apply to “ new bonds ” issued under the act to retire any of the then “ present bonded indebted ness of any village, city, town or county in this State.” With reference to such new bonds the third section of the act of 1886 says: “ 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. The law as it now stands will be found in editorial on page 4 of the April, 1894, S u p p l e m e n t . In addition to the foregoing there are special laws authorizing special issues that are exempt, but which we have not room to quote here. For New York City there is a general statute which directs how any of its bonds may be made exempt from city and county taxation. That statute is subjoined. S e c . 137. The Commissioners of the “ Sinking Fund of the City of New York for the redemption of the city debt,” when duly authorized by ordinance of the Common Council, may, by concurrent resolution, direct that the bonds and stocks of said city, issued pursuant to law, after June ninth, eighteen hundred and eighty, shall be exempt from taxation by said city and by the county of New York, but not from taxation for State purposes; and all bonds and stocks issued pursuant to such authority shall be exempt from taxation accordingly, provided that said bonds and stocks shall not bear interest exceeding the rate of four and one-half per centum per annum. The bonds and stocks of the city of New York issued pursuant to the provisions of this section shall express upon their face the fact that they are exempt from taxation bv the city and county of New York, but not from State taxation, and shall refer to this section, and to the ordinance of the Common Council and the resolution of the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund authori zing their issue. SAVINGS BANK INVESTMENTS-POWERS AND RESTRIC TIONS.—In 1898 the New York Legislature passed an amendment to paragraph 6, Sec. 116, of the Savings Bank law of 1892. The amend ment extended investments of savings banks to first mortgage railroad bonds the principal part of whose railroad is located within this State, and in 1899 the field of railroad investments was still further enlarged In 1900 the Chicago & Alton RR. was added to the list and other changes made in paragraph 6. We give section 116 below as it stands with these amendments incorporated. Sec. 116. In what securities deposits may be invested.—The trustees o f any savings banks may invest the moneys deposited therein and the income derived therefrom only as follow s: Vol. L X X I !• In the stocks or bonds or interest-bearing notes or obligations o f th® United States, or those for which tbe faith of the United States is pledged to provide for the payment ot the interest and principal, in cluding the bonds of the District of Columbia. 2* In the stocks or bonds or interest-bearing obligations o f this State, issued pursuant to the authority of any law of the State. 3.

No donation of land or appropriation of money shall be made by the State or any municipal corporation to or for the use o f any society, association or corporation whatever. It will be noted that the above prohibition relates to the giving o f money, property or credit of cities, &o., to individuals, associations, or corporations, &o., and that the prohibition is absolute, forbidding the doing of such acts in any form, shape or manner. There is one other restriction o f the State Constitution, and that is found in Article IV. Section VII., paragraph 11, which forbids the Legislature passing any special laws “ regulating the internal affairs of towns and counties"', in this and in all other cases in which according to the judgment o r the Legislature general laws are feasible, the Constitution states that general laws must be provided. In compliance with this last provision the Legislature has passed many general laws covering bonded indebtedness of cities, towns, etc. They are so numerous they cannot be cited here. We would refer the reader to the Revised Statutes of New Jersey published in 1896 under the heading “ Municipal Bonds” pages 693 to 716 both inclusive; and also to the same heading (“ Municipal Bonds” ) pages 2220, ete. TA X EXEM PTION.—The State of New Jersey passed in 1893 a general statute which exempts from taxation the bonds, securi ties and other evidences of indebtedness of municipal corpora tions ; the provision covers not only the bonds, etc., to be hereafter issued, but those as well that have been heretofore issued. It is a sweeping statute, and one which is of decided interest to the holders of the municipal securities o f the State. The full text of it may be fonnd in the State and City S upplement for October, 1898, page 58.

Since then the legislative tendency in the matter o f investments has been in the direction of allowing the management o f these institutions a wider choice and a larger discretion. In 1878 the limits of the 1876 law were broadened in several particulars by a new act of two sections, the first taking the place of section 26 of the act o f 1876. In 1886 still another law was passed in place of the first section of the law of 1878. Again in 1889 an act was passed extending ma terially the provisions of section two of the law o f 1878, which cov ered the same subject matter contained in section 29 of the original law of 1876, and thereby section 26 of the law o f 1876 was superseded by the law of 1886, and section 29 was superseded by the law of 1889. In 1896 a supplement approved March 30,1896 (Chapter 139, laws o f HISTORY OF DEBT.—New Jersey has always been a conservative 1896) to the law o f 1876, making sohool district bonds an authorized State; there are consequently no facts out of which to construct a his investment, went into effect. In 1897 an act was passed (approved tory o f debt issues. In a report made in 1838 the financial officer of April 9) authorizing investments in bonds issued by commissioner» the State affirmed that New Jersey had put out no obligations of any kind or loaned its credit to any oompany. The Constitution of 1844 appointed by the Supreme Court of the State. In 1899 a further forbade the creating of a Statedebt exceeding one hundred thousand dol supplement extending the permissible line of municipal investment» lars except for purposes of war, &c., as will more fully appear in the so as to include the bonds of townships and boroughs was approved item below with respect to “ debt limitation.” This exception, under which it was allowable to exceed the hundred-thousand-dollar limit March 24.

We do not reprint the real estate provisions, as they cover a matter not germane to our present subject. It is sufficient to say that they are tw o in number, marked (a) and (b), and may be summarized as b elow : ( a) authorizes the holding of a plot for erection of a banking build ing or buildings, portions of which may be rented, but the cost of lot and buildings must not exceed 50% of the net surplus of the corporation: (b) all purchases under foreclosure sales upon mortgages owned by the corporation or sales under judgments or decrees obtained for debts due, etc.; and all such real estate must be sold within five years unless, on application to the State Board having supervision of Savings Banks, time shall be extended. But the character of permissible investments was further greatly enlarged by the law of 1886, which is as follow s: Section 1. That it shall be lawful for any savings bank or savings in stitution, incorporated under any law of this State, to invest moneys deposited with it in the bonds of any city or county of any State of the Unitea States of America, which have been or may be issued pursuant to the authority of any law of any such State; provided, no such city or county has, within ten years previous to making such investment by any such savings bank or savings institution of this State, defaulted in the payment of any part of either principal or interest of any debt authorized by law of such State to be contracted; and provided, fu r ther, that the total indebtedness of any such city or county is limited by law to ten percentum of its assessed valuation. By another act the banks also have the right to invest in railroad bonds under certain restrictions. The authorization was given by Section 2 of an act approved February 22,1888. Subsequently (April 27,1888,) this Section 2 was repealed. On March 27, 1889, however, it was again re-enacted. The section is as follow s: Section 2. That it shall be lawful for any savings bank in this State to invest its funds in first mortgage bonds of any railroad company which has paid dividends of not less than four per centum per annum regularly, on their entire capital stock, for a period of not less than five years next previo as to the purchase of such bonds, or in any con solidated mortgage bonds of any such company authorized to be issued to retire the entire bonded debt of such company. The other law referred to above passed in 1889 amending section 2 o f the law of 1878 is as below. It relates to loans on collaterals: Section 2. That hereafter it shall not be lawful for any saving insti tution in this State to loan the money on deposit with the same, or any part thereof, upon notes, bills of exchange or drafts, excepting upon the additional pledge of collateral security or securities, which collat eral security or securities shall be of the same nature and character as those in which the money deposited may be invested, as directed in the first section of this act, or the capital stocks of national and State banks, or other corporations of this State, which nave not defaulted in the payment of interest dividends within two years next preceding the feme of such loan, and then only to the extent of eighty per centum of the market value of such collaterals; provided, that the total amount o f such loans shall not exceed fifteen per centum of the total deposits held by such institution. In addition to the foregoing (according to section 27 o f the general law of 1876) the managers can keep on hand or on deposit in any bank in the State, or in any trust or safe deposit company in New Jersey, New York or Pennsylvania, an available fund of not exceeding ten per cent of the whole amount of deposits with such corporation, or loan the same on pledge of the securities named in the first section cited above. Also (according to section 28 of the general law o f 1876) they can deposit temporarily in banks the excess of current daily receipts over payments until such time as they may be judiciously invested.

Jersey City formerly suffered greatly from difficulty in collecting taxes and assessments. Under the Martin Act, however, passed some years ago by the Legislature, arrears o f taxes are made liens on the property, and if not paid within three years the property can be sold to satisfy them. The city has also succeeded in adjusting the taxes with the railroads, and the latter now pay into the treasury about $225,000 annually. On Feb. 13, 1900, the citizens authorized the pur chase of a water plant (now building) for the sum o f $7,595,000. V. 70, p. 344. Jersey City is in Hudson County.

DEBT LIMITATION —In Pennsylvania the limit to the indebtedness o f the State, and to the indebtedness of the cities and minor civil <rg mizations in the State, is fixed by the State Constitution. 1« 8 ate indebtedness.—With regard to the State, the regulations controlling and governing debt creation, payment, Ac., are found in Sections 4, 5, 6 ,1 1 ,1 2 ,1 3 and 14 o f Article IX of the Constitution, and are as follows. A rticle IX , Sec. 4. No debt shall be created by, or on behalf of, the State except to supply casual deficiencies of revenue, repel invasions, suppress insurrection, defend the State in war, or to pay existing debt; and the debt created to supply deficiencies in revenue shall never exceed, in the aggregate at any one time, one million of dollars. Section 5. All laws authorizing the borrowing of money by, and on behalf of, the State shall specify the purpose for which the money is to be Used, and the money so borrowed shall be used for the purpose speci fied and no other. * Section 6. The credit of the Commonwealth shall not be pledged or loaned to any individual, company, corporation or association, nor shall the Commonwealth become a joint-owner or stockholder in any company, association or corporation. Section 11. T o provide for the payment of the present State debt, and a**yadditional 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; * ®® “ a*d sinking fund shall consist of the proceeds of the sales of the public works, or any part thereof, and of the income or proceeds of the sale o f any stocks owned by the Commonwealth, together with other funds and resources that may bo designated by law, and shall be increased from time to time by assigning to it any part of the taxes or other revenue of the State not required for the ordinary and current expenses of government, and unless in case of war, invasion or insurreotion, no part of the said sinking fund shall be used or applied other wise than in the extinguishment of the public debt. Section 12. The moneys of the State, over and above the necessary re serve, shall be used in the payment of the debt of the State, either directly or through the sinking fund, and the moneys of the sinking fund shall never be invested in or loaned upon the security of anything except the bonds of the United States or of this State. Section 13. The moneys held as necessary reserve shall be limited by law to the amount required for current expenses, and shall be se cured ana kept as may be provided by law. Monthly statements shall be published, showing the amount of such moneys, where the same are deposited, and how secured. Section 14. The making of profit out of the public moneys, or using the same for any purpose not authorized by law, by any officer of the State, or member or officer of the General Assembly, shall be a misde 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 of not less than live years. State loans in Pennsylvania, whether created for original indebted ness or authorized to fund existing indebtedness, are usually negoti ated through the Governor and Commissioners of the sinking fund. The last act of the Pennsylvania Legislature authorizing a public loan was the act of June 8,1881, when a thirty-year loan was effected to fund existing indebtedness at a lower rate of interest. The earliest date at which the last of the existing indebtedness of Pennsylvania will mature is February 1,1912, and under existing ar rangements the accumulations in the sinking fund will at that time pay the total State indebtedness. (2) County and Municipal Indebtedness.—Under the laws of Pennsylvania the power to create county loans is in the Board o f County Commissioners, which consists in each countv of three persons, elected tri-ennially under the minority system of voting, by which the minority party in each County usually has one member of the Board. In cities and boroughs the power to create indebtedness is vested in councils, municipal debts being created by ordinance. The creation of county, city and other municipal indebtedness is subject to the following constitutional limitations. ^ 8ec- ?• .Tbe General Assembly shall not authorize any itt *> ^ •■ „ section 8. The debt of any county, city, borough, township, school district, or other municipality or incorporated district, except as herein ^provided, shall never exceed seven per centum upon the assessed value of the taxable property therein, nor shall any such municipality or district incur any new debt, or increase its indebtedness te an amount exceeding two per centum upon such assessed property, without the assent of the electors thereof at a manner a8 shall be provided by la w ; butanv city the debt of which now exceeds seven per centum of such assessed valuation may be authorized by law to increase the same three per centum, in the aggregate at any one time, upon such valuation P * r,o8 +Cih °N Commonwealth shall not assume the debt, or anv ? aF£ ° t any cit/ ’ county, borough or township, unless such debt shall have been contracted to enable the State to repeal invasion aaiiai’+l® domestic insurrection, defend itself in time of w a r jo r to assist the State m the discharge of any portion of its present indebted- l®gO..............5,258,014 I1 8 6 0 .............2,906,215 1830............ 1,348,233 ............4,282,891 1 8 5 0 .............2,311,786 1820............. 1,047,507 1870..............3,521,951 I1840.............1,724,033 ....................... 810,091 01UiUil 1810............ SAVINGS BANKS IN tfE ST M E N T S-P O W E R S AND RESTRIC TIONS.—Philadelphia is, we believe, entitled to the distinction of starting the first savings institution in the United States. The name this association bore was the “ Philadelphia Savings Fund Society,” and it still exists, bearing the same name. Originally the bank was not incorporated, but was a voluntary organization, such societies in Great Britain being at that time of a like character. The date of the organization was November 27,1816, and the bank was opened for business December 2,1816. Mr. Hutchinson, who, now holds the office of President, states that the oldest ledgei of the company goes back to the time of opening, and shows a deposit on that day December 2,1816) of five dollars. The company was not incor porated until February 25,1819. It is surprising that Pennsylvania, although engaged in such an early venture in the department of savings institutions, should have made 80 httle progress in the same department since. Indeed, the second organization does not bear date until 1847, and we think there had only been 10 mutual savings institutions organized in the whole State from 1816 down to the early part of 1890. We may assume, however that this slow development was in no measure due to a lack o f desire for savings banks on the part of the people of that common wealth. That such institutions were sought and needed is sufficiently evident from the fact that nine of the ten companies re 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 of institutions, the total doing business hi the State on Nov. 29, 1899, being 16, with deposits aggregating $99,261,413. 8 8 The provisions of the special charters are all liberal as to invest ments. A law passed in 1885, and a supplement of the same passed in 1889, authorizing the extension for twenty years of special char ters, contains the following. B a r a s h t hat 1 no. * * * Savings Institution or Savings having no capital stock, renewing or extending its charter* tbft?fiar« ^ rh«lltSnand franchises, under the provisions of this act, shall ibe aUowed the Privileges of a bank of discount, nor be S* ™™J;o a i1 money received on deposit, e x c e p t first m ortgage ©state within this commonwealth, upon the bonus or “ 8 » f the United States or of this State, or upon countyTcit?, borough, township or school bonas of anv county, city, borough, town5 S » a S « ‘2 K r t ! S " 01bwlthln tWs commonwealth, or any other good Authority to loan on any “ good and valid security "appears to con fer about as broad a discretion upon the managers as could be expressed in a statute. It was not until 1889, as already stated, that a general law facUi* tating the organization of savings institutions was passed. That law of 1889 is indeed well adapted not only for facilitating, but for stimulating, the growth o f the system. Its influence in the latter direction would seem to be assured under the liberality of the provisions respecting investments. The following is section 17, which contains the investment limitations; we would especially direct attention to subdivision four of this section: ^7‘ ^I. shall be lawful for the trustees of any savings bank t° invest money deposited therein only as follows: 8 ®t°el£Si or bonds or interest-bearing notes or the obliga tions of the United States, or those for which Ike faith o f the United principalPl6dged t0 provide for the Payment of the interest and the bearing interest ^ ° r bonds 01 tbe Commonwealth of Pennsylvania ° T bo^ds 0L any state in the Union that has not to making such investments, by such corpo ration, defaulted In the payment of any part of either principal or mcoifteacted117 d6bt autborized by any legislature of such State to be (“ lu the stocks or bonds of any city, .countv. town or villaco of 1) any State of the United States, issued pursuant to the authority of any law of the State, or in any interest-bearing obligations issued bv tlie city or county in which such bank shall be situated. situatedbn^hLaState°rtSa8e8 ° n uninoumbered, improved real estate, It will be noted that according to the foregoing (sub-division four), Pennsylvania savings banks are allowed to invest their deposits in the bonds and stocks of any city, county town or village in any of the United States. Furthermore, by the fifth subdivision bonds and mortgages are left to the discretion o f the trustees in all purchases, except that they must be first mortgages on improved real estate in Pennsylvania: The next section (18) relates to the temporary deposit of funds in banks and trust companies. It makes it lawful to deposit temporarily in banks or trust companies the excess of ourrent daily receipts over the payments until such time as the same can be ju dic iously invested in the securities named above.

DEBT LIMITATION.—There is nothing in the Constitution of Maryland limiting the power of the Legislature to authorize bond issues either by the State or by its municipalities. No general limit for cities and towns has been fixed by the Legislature, nor is there any general authorization to be found in the statutes under which cities and towns can issue bonds. This power is lodged in the Legislature, and is dele gated to the municipalities from time to time for specific purposes as the occasion may arise. It is necessary, therefore, for the investor to study the law in each case on this as well as on other points affecting the loan with respect to which he may need information.

In number, blacks were 165,091 in 1850; 171,131 in 1860; 175,391 in 1870; 210,230 in 1880; and 218,004 in 1880. SAVINGS BANKS INVESTMENTS.—There are in this State gen eral banking laws under which savings banks m a y b e organized, and yet we notice that even in 1890 a special charter was granted incorpor ating the Germania Savings Bank of Baltimore. However, in botli the general and special laws there appears to be a pretty general authority granted for investing the deposits. The general law states that— Any savings institution incorporated under this article shall be capable of receiving from any person or persons, or bodies corporate or politic, any deposit of money which shall be invested or loaned out on good security in the discretion o f the directors; provided that no part of the funds of said corporation shall be loaned to any officer or director of such corporation. In the special law passed in 1890, whioh we have referred to above, the power to loan the deposits is made a little more definite. The sec tion referring to that subject states that the “ corporation shall have “ power to borrow money, receive money on deposit, loan money « talcing such security therefor, either real or personal, as the Board o f * Directors may deem sufficient; provided that no part of the funds of “ said corporation shall be loaned to an officer or director thereof.” We cannot discover any marked difference in the two provisions cited, except that the enactment in the case of the new Baltimore bank states distinctly that the security can be either real or personal. But as much as that would, we think, be assumed as authorized under the gen eral provision, since no limit is made and loaning on bond and mortgage is always a legitimate part of the business of savings banks. and T owns IN T H E STATE OF MARYLAND.

The State tax (per $1,000) for 1899 was $2*84 and $2*90 for 1900. DEBT LIMITATION.—Ohio has very carefully guarded the debt making power o f the State. This could not be said while the Constitu tion of 1802 was in force ; for under that instrument it was competent fo r the Legislature to construct works of internal improvement on behalf of the State, or to aid in their construction by subscribing to the capital stock of corporations created for that purpose, or to authorize in other ways the creation of debt in unlimited amounts. But since the adoption of the Constitution of 1851 the whole situation in these par ticulars has changed, the legislative power with respect to the State having been limited. The same is in large measure true also of the municipalities. FIRST, As to the State's power to contract debt, this is regulated under the first five sections of article 8 of the Constitution. Section 1 limits the power to the supply of “ casual deficits in revenues or to meet expenses not otherwise provided for,” but in the aggregate debts for even the purposes named cannot exceed $750,000. Section 2 contains an excep tion to the foregoing; it grants the power to contract debt in case of in vasion, of insurrection, of war or of the redemption of the then existing indebtedness. Section 3 reaffirms the limit, except as above specified. Section 4 forbids the loaning of the State credit. Section 5 further forbids the assumption of debts by States. We insert these five sections in full. Section 1. [Debt limited to seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars]. The State may contract debts to supply casual deficits or failures in revenues or to meet expenses not otherwise provided for; but the aggregate amount of such debts direct and contingent whether contracted by virtue of one or more acts of the General Assembly, or at different periods of time, shall never exceed seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars; and the money arising from the creation of such debts shall be applied to the purpose for which it was obtained or to re-pay the debts so contracted and to no other purpose whatever. Section 2. [Additional and fo r what purpose.] In addition to the above limited power the State may contract debts to repel invasion, suppress insurrection, defend the State in war, or to redeem the present outstanding indebtedness of the State; but the money arising from the contracting of such debts shall be applied to the purpose for which it was raised, or to re-pay such debts, and to no other purpose whatever; and all debts incurred to redeem the present outstanding indebt edness of the State shall be so contracted as to be payable by the sinking fund hereinafter provided for as the same shall accumulate. Section 3. [The State to create no other debt.] Except the debts above specified in Sections 1 and 2 of this article, no debt whatever shall here after be created by or on behalf of the State. S e c t i o n 4. [Oredit o f State; the State shall not become joint owner or stockholder.] The credit of the State shall not in any manner be given or loaned to or in aid of any individual association or corporation what ever: nor shall the State ever hereafter become a joint owner or stock holder in any company or association in this State or elsewhere formed for any purpose whatever. Section 5. [No assumption o f debts by the State.] The State shall never assume the debts of any county, city, town or township, or of any corporation whatever, unless such debt shall have been created to repel invasion, suppress insurrection or defend the State in war. The foregoing sections complete the limitation as to State debt and credit. Sections 7, 8, 9 ,1 0 and 11 of Article 8 cover the matter of sink ing funds referred to in Section 2 above. But they need not be published here. SECOND, As to Cities, Towns, Oounties, <& so far as the Constitution c., affects the power of . the Legislature to authorize these municipali ties to create debt, the limitations are found in section 6 of article 8 and in sections 1, 2 and 6 of article 13. (1) Section 6 o f article 8 forbids the General Assembly to authorize cities, «fee., to become stockholders in or to raise money or loan credit to aid corporations, &e. (2) Sections 1 and 2 of article 13 forbid the passing of special acts and require general acts for conferring c o r porate powers. (3) Section 6 of article 13 provides that the General Assembly make provision for the organization of cities, «fee., by general laws and restrict their debt-making power. These sections are as follow s: A r t i c l e 8 , Section 6 . [Counties, cities, towns or townships not author ised to become stockholders, dbc.] The General Assembly shall never authorize any county, city, town or township, by vote of its citizens or otherwise, to become a stockholder in any joint stock company, corpora tion or association whatever; or to raise money for, or loan its credit to, or in aid of, any such company, corporation or association. A rticle 13, Section 1. [Corporatepowers]. The General Assembly shall pass no special act conferring corporate powers. ' Section 2. [Corporations how formed]. Corporations may be formed under general law s; but all such laws may from time to time be altered or repealed. Section 6. [ Organisation o f cities, &c. ] The General Assembly shall provide for the organization of cities and incorporated villages by gene ral laws and restrict their power of taxation, assessment, borrowing money, contracting debts and loaning their credit, so as to prevent the abuse of such power. Vol. LXXI 7 8 One at first sight would infer from section 6 article 8 above cited that cities could not subscribe to the stock of or loan money to railroads, as railroads are corporations and joint-stock companies. That, however, iB not a correct conclusion, as was decided in the case of Walker vs. The City o f Cincinnati, a case which arose under an act of the General Assembly of Ohio entitled “ An Act relating to cities of the first class,’ ’ authorizing any such city to construct a line of railroad therefrom to any other terminus in that State or in any other State. In pursuance o f the authority that act purports to give, Cincinnati undertook to build the Cincinnati Southern Railroad. To test the legal ity of that proceeding this action was brought. The Court’s opinion is very full and explicit, the conclusion being that from “ the language “ o f the section it is quite evident that it was not intended to prohibit 1' the construction o f railroads nor indeed to prohibit any species o f “ public improvements. The section contains no direct reference to “ railroads nor to any other special classes of improvements or enter “ prises. The inhibitions are directed only against a particular manner “ or means by which under the Constitution of 1802 many public im' “ provements had been accomplished.” In compliance with section 6, article 13 (cited above), which provides for the organization of cities eto. by general law, the Legislature has made an elaborate classification of municipal corporations. First they are divided into cities, villages and hamlets. Then cities are divided into two classes, the first class being subdivided into three grades and the second class being subdivided into four grades, the grade being determined by population according to the last Federal Census. Cities in the F irst Class—First grade includes all cities of more than 200.000 inhabitants; second grade all less than 200,000 and more than 90.000 inhabitants; third grade all less than 90,000 and more than 31, 500 inhabitants. Cities in the Second Class—First grade includes all cities of less than 31.500 and more than 30,500 inhabitants; second grade all less than 30.500 and more than 20,000 inhabitants; third grade all less than 20.000 and more than 10,000 inhabitants; fourth grade all less than 10.000 and more than 5,000 inhabitants, V illages—Of the first class include ail having less than 5,000 and more than 3,000 inhabitants; the second class includes all having less than 3,000 and more than 200 inhabitants. H amlets—According to section 1550 of the Revised Statutes all ex isting corporations organized as “ incorporated villages for 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 municipalities. There are a few sections of the Revised Statutes authorizing bond issues which have a universal application, such as the provision granting power to issue bonds in anticipation of special assessments, but most o f the laws for that purpose oover only one class of cities, and many of them are so worded as to apply only to one city, and granting an issue of bonds for a specific purpose. No general laws limiting the powers of 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 of a general nature except a general law “ for the organization of cities, &o.” ?

D EB T LIM ITA TIO N .— In the present Constitution o f Indiana, whic went into effect November 1,1851, superseding the Constitution adopte in 1816, there are explicit provisions lim iting'the power of both th State and its municipalities to contract debt. FIRST, as to the State, Section 5 of article 10 provides that no del except to meet casual deficits in revenue, to pay interest, to repel inv* sion &o. can be contracted. The section in full is subjoined. CBEApÔM of D ebt F orbidden .—No law shall authorize any debt to b contracted on behalf of the State except in the following cases : T meet casual deficits in the revenue ; to pay interest on the State debt to repel invasion, suppress insurrection, or, if hostilities be threatened provide for the public defense. In the sixth section of the same article the last clause prohibits th assumption by the State of the debts of any municipality orcorporatioi The clause referred to reads as follows. Nor shall the General Assembly ever on behalf of the State assum the debts of any county, city, town or township, nor o f any corporatio whatever. t SECOND, as to municipalities, the provision contained in thfr Constitution seems to be equally clear and emphatic, and, as will he found, fixes the limit at 2 per cent of the valuation. It is article 13 o f that instrument which relates to this subject, and we give the article in, full below. Lim it e d —E xcess V oid .— No political or municipal corporation in this State shall ever become indebted in any manner or for any pur pose to an amount in the aggregate exceeding two per centum on the valuation o f the taxable property within such corporation, to be ascer tained by the last assessment for State and County taxes previous to the incurring of such indebtedness; and all bonds or obligations in excess of such amount given by such corporation shall be vo id ; Pro vided, That in time or war, foreign invasion, or other great public calamity, on petition of a majority of the property owners in numberand value, within the limits of such corporation, the public authorities in their discretion may incur obligations necessary for the public pro tection and defense to such an amount as may be requested in such petition. It should be said, in connection with the above that several laws have been enacted since the foregoing constitutional limit was adopted (March 14 1881), and bonds have been issued by counties thereunder beyond the 2 per cent limit, for the construction of “ free gravel, stone or other macadamized roads.” Several such laws were passed at the 1899 session o f the Legislature. But in the case of Strieb vs. Cox» Treas., I l l Ind., the Supreme Court of Indiana held that gravel road bonds are not properly indebtedness of the county—hence do not cOme within the inhibition of Section 13 of the Constitution. (See editorial in State and Cit y Supplement for October, 1899, page 3.) THIRD, counties (but no other kind of municipality) are prohibited from subscribing for any stock in a corporation unless paid for at time of such subscription. The section which covers this subject is section & of article 10, and is as follows. Counties cannot take stock. No county shall subscribe for stock in any incorporated company unless the same be paid for at the time o f such subscription; nor shall any county loan its credit to any incor porated company, nor borrow money for the purpose of taking stock in any such company; nor shall the General Assembly ever on behalf o f the State assume the debts of any county, city, town or township, nor of any corporation whatever. The prohibition which this section contains applies, as already stated only to counties. Consequently the Legislature was at liberty to author^ ize cities to subscribe to the stock of railroads, as it did by a general law passed in 1867 granting the power to subscribe to the stock of any railroad running into or through any city or near its corporate limits» Other laws of a somewhat similar character have been passed at other dates. We notice one law too which authorizes counties bordering 0» the State line to subscribe for railroad stock and to issue bonds for tho purpose of paying the subscription. In view of the above section this grant of power extended to counties would seem to be at least questionable. COUNTIES are apparently restricted by statute to a lower than the Constitutional limit of 2 per cent in the matter of creating certain kinds of debt. For instance, Section 5749 of the Revised Statutes authorizes any county to issue bonds when necessary to construct, complete orrepair court house, jail or other county buildings, or to fund Aviating debt; in those cases'county commissioners may borrow for that pur pose not exceeding 1 per cent on assessed valuation and issue bonds therefor. Limit o f one per cent may be exceeded in counties for funding pur poses in certain cases where the aggregate indebtedness in 1879 exceeded one per cent (see Revised Statutes, Section 816); also fo r temporary loans (see Revised Statutes, Section 5818). Also (if the laws that have been passed are constitutional), the lim it o f 2 per cent may be exceeded for the purpose of making gravel roads (see above), the Supreme Court having decided that gravel road bonds are not properly an indebtedness of the county. In addition to the foregoing, general statutes have been passed by tb s Legislature granting general powers to cities and towns of fifteen thousand inhabitants or over to issue bonds for legitimate corporate purposes, subject, however, to the Constitutional limit of 2 per cent on valuation. But we have not the space to set out here the details, or the details of the other legislation applicable to cities of larger and smaller population, and covering specific purposes, suoh as water works, &c, POPULATION OF STATE.—The population of Indiana has been as follows in the years named. 1897............. 2 867,036 1860............. 1,350,428 1830................ 343,031 1890.............2,192,404 1850............. 988,416 1820................ 147,178 1880............. 1,978,301 1840............. 685,866 1810................ 24,520 1870............. 1,680,637 Between 1860 and 1870 the increase was 330,209, or 24-45 per eent» between 1870 and 1880 297,664, or 17-71 per cent, and between 1880» and 1890 214,103, or 10-82 per cent.

Under a law passed Feb.,25,1898, there will be a general assessment o f real estate but once in every four years instead of annually; per sonal property w ill be listed every year. The law also provides that property shall be appraised at full value but assessed at only onefifth o f such value. D EB T LI M ITATIO N .— No State has developed a greater repugnance to the creating of debt than Illinois, if we may Judge from the provisions of its present Constitution. We say developed, because this antagonism has api^rently been progressive. Nothing of it is to be found in the Constitution of 1818. The Constitution o f 1848 contains no reference to municipalities, but has in it stringent restrictions limiting to $50,000 the power of the Legislature to create State debt, except in case of war invasion, etc., unless the law proposing the issue o f bonds is submitted to a vote of the people. But turning to the Constitution of 1870 we find the whole subject of debt-making most thoroughly considered and its basis settled. FIRST, as to the State, the provisions are not very unlike the provis ions of the Constitution of 1848, except that as to the limit for casual de ficits and failures of revenue, the aggregate which can be created is very properly raised to $250,000. But with that exception and with the further exception for the purpose of repelling invasion etc. no debt can be contracted unless the law is submitted to a vote of the people at a general election, which law must contain a provision for the payment of interest as it accrues, and previous notice of the election be given by publication for three months prior to such election. These last two restrictions as to interest and notice of election are only found in the 1870 Constitution. The sections which cover these matters are as fol lows; we omit the first portion o f Section 18, which relates only to appropriations and payment o f appropriations out o f funds belonging to the State : Section 18. * * * * * Provided, the State may, to meet casual deficits or failures in revenues, contract debts never to exceed in the ag gregate $250,000, and moneys thus borrowed shall be applied to the purpose for which they were obtained, or to pay the debt thus created, and to no other purpose; and no other debt except for the purpose o f repelling invasion, suppressing insurrection or defendin r the State in war (for payment o f which the faith o f the State shall be p. edged),shall be contracted, unless the law authorizing the same shall at a general election have been submitted to the people,and have received a majority of the votes cast for members o f the General Assembly at such election The General Assembly shall provide for the publication o f said law fo r three months at least before the vote o f the people shall be taken upon the same; and provision shall be made at the time for the payment o f the interest annually as it shall accrue, by a tax levied for the purpose or from other sources of revenue; which law providing for the payment o f such interest by such tax, shall be irrepealable until such debt b© paid; And provided further, that the law levying the tax shall be sub* mitted to the people with the law authorizing the debt to be contracted. Section 20. The State shall never pay, assume or become responsible for the debts or liabilities of, or in any manner give, loan, or extend its credit to or in aid of any public or other corporation, association or individual. Nothing needs to be added in explanation of the foregoing. The pro visions seem to be explicit and to guard most wisely the creation of State debt. SECOND, municipal indebtedness is regulated only in the Constitution of 1870. In that instrument the subject is dealt with in all its phases First is a provision in Article 8, Section 3,f or bidding the General Assembly and every municipality from making any appropriation in aid of any sec tarian purpose. Second is a “ separate section ” forbidding any such municipality from becoming a subscriber to the stock of any railroad, &c., or to loan its credit. Third is the board and general provision Section 12, Article 9, which limits the indebtedness of all municipali ties to 5 per cent “ on the value of the taxable property therein,” &c. W e give these sections below : A rticle 8. bection 3. Neither the General Assembly nor any county city, town, township, school district, or other public co lo ra tio n , shall ever make any appropriation, or pav from any public fund whatever, anything in aid of any church or sectarian purpose, or to help support or sustain any school, academy, seminary, college, university, or other 96 Vol. LXXI STATE AtlP CITY SUfftEM ENT. literary or scientific institution controlled by any church or sectarian denomination whatever ; nor shall any grant or donation of land, money or other personal property ever be made by the State, or any such public corporation, to any church or for any sectarian purpose. A rticle 9, Section 12. No county, city, township, school district or other municipal corporation shall be allowed to become indebted in any manner or for any purpose, to an amount, including existing indebted ness, in the aggregate exceeding live per centum on the value of the taxable property therein, to be ascertained by the last assessment for State and county taxes, previous to the incurring of such indebtedness. Any county, city, school district or other municipal corporation incur ring any indebtedness as aforesaid shall before, or at the time of doing so. provide for the collection of a direct annual tax sufficient to pay the interest on such debt as it falls due, and also to pay and discharge the principal thereof within twenty years from the time of contracting the same. This section shall not be construed to prevènt any county, city, township, school district, or other municipal corporation, from issuing their bonds in compliance with any vote of the people which may have been had prior to the adoption of this Constitution In pursuance of any law providing therefor. S eparate Sections. [Municipal subscriptions to railroads etc.] No county, city, town, township or other municipality shall ever become subscriber to the capital stock of any railroad or private corporation, or make donation to or loan its credit in aid of such corporation, provided, however, that the adoption of this article shall not be construea as affect ing the right of any such municipality to make such subscriptions where the same have been authorized, under existing laws, by a vote of the people of such municipalities prior to such adoption. The foregoing limitation to 5 per cent is general, as will be seen— -that is, it applies to all municipalities. With this limitation preserved the Legislature has passed general laws authorizing the city council in cities and the board of trustees in villages to issue bonds for corporate purposes, for refunding and consolidating debt, for water works, etc.; and the county board of any county has been authorized by general statute to issue, when it deems it necessary, county bonds, after sub mitting the matter to the legal voters of the county at a general election, at which a majority vote is required as a prerequisite of the issue. Re cently an attempt was made to limit “ any county, city, township, sohool district or municipal corporation ” in counties containing 125,000 or more Inhabitants to 2>a per cent of the assessed value, but J an. 12, 1900, the State Supreme Court ruled that this was an arbitrary and unnatural classification of m u n icip a lity which could not be sus tained. See Vol. 70, page 242. I mprovement B onds.—There is a kind of improvement bond author ized in some cases which is made a special lien on the land benefitted and to which the 5 per cent limit has no reference. We refer to cases which come under the law entitled “ To divide cities and villages subject “ to overflow into improvement districts.” This statute provides that any such city or village or part thereof may be laid off into an improve ment district for the purpose of draining, raising the grade of the streets and improving the district; that after the cost for the work hSs been ascertained and been assessed, the assessment may be paid in instalments or otherwise and such city or village may issue bonds sufficient to pay thè assessment. In that case the bonds are a lien on the lots, blocks or parts thereof which shall be designated therein; but before the issue the owner of the lots, etc., to be charged must endorse upon the back of such bond his consent, under seal, in substance as follow s: “ I hereby indorse the within bond “ and consent that the lot or lots or parts thereof therein , designated “ shall become liable for the interest and principal therein namea and “ the same shall be a lien upon said property from this date until paid “ off and discharged.” The bond when executed by the city or village and so endorsed by the owner shall be recorded in the recorder’s office in the county, and such record shall be a notice of the lien created to the same extent as the record of mortgages is a notice. We have room to give only this very brief and imperfect outline of this statute. The whole law will be found in the Revised Statutes of Illinois, the 1889 edition, page 303. To understand the real cause and oocasion for all this machinery, one should study also the previous statute (page 99, &o.) which authorizes cities, &c., to protect themselves from over flow and inundation and control private levees, &c. After having read the two laws it will be found that the district improvement bond has been devised as a relief measure, and that it affords a wise and ingenious method for helping those in more moderate circumstances who have been taxed for a very necessary improvement to pay the tax by instal ments.

HISTORY OF D EBT.—The historical details of Michigan’ s State debt will be found in the St a t e a n d C i t y Su p p l e m e n t of April, 1894, page 98. In 1864 the State Treasurer reported the funded debt at $3,880,399, and $1,450,472 additional “ Trust fund debt.” The bonded debt July 1,1900, consisted of $500,000 war loan bonds o f 1898. The $19,000 of “ past-due part-paid $5,000,000 loan bonds” which were ad justable at $578*57 per $1,000, amounting to $10,992*83, have never been presented for payment and bear no interest. These latter bonds not having been presented for payment prior to May 31,1900, were forfeited to the State as per notice given to the holders at that time The “ Trust fund debt” on July 1,1900, amounted to $6,273,144 94. The sinking fund applicable to the retirement of the war bonds on July 1, 1900, amounted to $248,871 48. > /— Interest— > ,----------- Principal LOANS P- ct. Payable. When Due. Outstanding.

The proposition to raise such additional amount must be submitted by an ordinance distinctly stating the purpose.of proposed expenditure, the amount proposed, and whether to be raised by tax or loan. Such ordinance shall be passed, published in one newspaper of city, and copies posted in five most public places in each ward of city, at least two weeks before the election — vote shall be by ballot.

D EB T LIM ITATIO N . — Michigan, as noted in our history of the State’s debt, started its career as a State in January 1837, when the whole land was buoyant over its inflated enterprises carried on at public expense. So to be abreast with the times, instead of putting any limit on the power of the State to create debt, it put into its Constitution a notice to the Legislature to go to work at once and make provision for POPULATION OF S T A T E .—The population o f Michigan has been “ ascertaining the proper objects of improvement in relation to roads, as follows in the years nam ed: " canals and navigable waters,” that the money might be raised and 1894............. 2,241,000 1860............. 749,113 1830................ 31,639 1890............. 1850............. 8,765 these improvements might be prosecuted with as little delay as possible. 1880............. 2,093,889 1840............. 397,654 1820................ 1,636,937 212,267 1810................... 4,672 That was the spirit which ruled and the condition which prevailed in 1870............. 1,184,059 1837.

Hence we find them at the latter date or 27-92 per cent. showing a purpose to make an instrument in its financial features about as dissimilar from the one it was to supplant as it could well be. Nothing will illustrate this change in spirit and purpose more clearly than the Cities , Counties a n d T owns ; following limitations respecting the creation of State indebtedness which were inserted.

Section 2699 provides that in addition to above the council may raise by special assessment in sewer and in special assessment districts for improving streets and constructing sewers (chargeable on lands in district according to frontage or benefits) not exceeding in one year 5 per cent. Section 2700 provides that a tax of not more than two dollars per year may be levied upon each lot or premises drained by a private sewer or drain leading into a public sewer or drain. Section 2701 provides that the council may also raise such further sum, not exceeding three mills on the dollar of assessed valuation, as may be necessary to provide an interest and sinking fund to pay funded debt. L o a n s , When allowed and amount indicated. Section 2,709. Provides that no public work shall be contracted or commenced until a tax shall have been levied to pay cost. Section 2,710. Instead of levying a tax for whole amount authorized by this act in any year for the general and street district funds, the council may raise part by tax and part by loan—the aggregate o f both not exceeding amount for which tax might have been levied in the yean Section 2,711. Council also authorized to raise moneys by loan in anticipation o f receipts from special assessments. Section 2,712.

For a brief history of the Wisconsin debt see St a t e a n d C i t y S u p p l e m e n t of April, 1895. At present the State has no indebtedness except the trust funds, as fo llo w s : Certificates o f indebtedness, School Fund................................ $1,563,700 Do do Normal School Fund................... 515,700 Do . do University Fund......................... 111,000 Do do Agricultural College Fund........ 60,600 T ota l.......................................................................................$2,251,000 DEBT LIMITATION.—The constitutional provisions of Wisbonsin restricting debt-making are very rigorous, plain and comprehensive. Since the amendment adopted in 1874, cities &o., as well as the State, are definitely limited by that instrument. We will give the provisions first which relate to the State and after that those which have reference to cities, &o. (1) STATE indebtedness is confined within very close bounds. It ■eems as if the framers of the Constitution must have taxed to the extreme their ingenuity for forms in which to express their determina tion to inhibit debt-making. The sections which cover the subject are sections 3 ,4 , 6 ,7 , 9 and 10 of Article 8. We give them in full below. S e c t i o n 3. Credit of State, fo r what not given. The credit of the State shall never be given or loaned in aid of any individual, associ ation or corporation. S e c t i o n 4. Contracting debts. The State shall never contract any public debt, except in the cases and manner herein provided. S e c t i o n 6. Limitation on public debt. For the purpose of defraying extraordinary expenditures, the State may contract public debts (but such debts shall never in the aggregate exceed one hundred thousand dollars). Every such debt shall be authorized by law, for some purpose or purposes to be distinctly specified therein; and the vote of a majority o f all the members elected to each House, to be taken by yeas andnavs shall be necessary to the passage of such la w ; and every such law shall provide for levying an annual tax sufficient to pay the annual interest o f such debt, and the principal within five years from the passage of such law, and shall specially appropriate the proceeds of such taxes to the payment o f such principal and interest; and such appropriation shall not be repealed, nor the taxes be postponed, or diminished until the principal and interest of such debt shall have been wholly paid. S e c t i o n 7. State may borrow money, when. The Legislature may also borrow money to repel invasion, suppress insurrection or defend the State in time of w ar; but the money thus raised shall be applied exclus ively to the object for which the loan was authorized, or to the repay ment of the debt thereby created. S e c t i o n 9. Evidences o f debt. No scrip, certificate, or other evidence of State debt, whatsoever, shall be issued, except for such debts as are authorized by the sixth and seventh sections of this article. S e c t i o n 10. Internal improvements—avails o f grants. The State shall never contract any debt for works o f internal improvement, orbe a party in carrying on such works, but whenever grants of land or other property shall have been made to the State, especially dedicated by the grant to particular works o f internal improvement, the State may carry on such particular works, and shall devote thereto the avails of such grants, and may pledge or appropriate the revenues derived from such works in aid of their completion. (2) CITIES, counties, towns, villages, < were unrestricted except by 6c., legislative enactment until 1874. Since that amendment was adopted five per cent on the value of the taxable property has been the extreme amount of debt permissible for any municipality. Not only is that the case, but, as will be seen, the municipality is required before or at the time when it incurs any indebtedness, to make provision for an annual tax sufficient to pay the interest and also sufficient to pay the principal within twenty years from the time of contracting the debt. We give below the amendment referred to in full. Limitation o f Municipal Indebtedness—Adding to Section 3, Article 11, the w ords; No county, city, town, village, school district, or other municipal cor poration, shall be allowed to become indebted in any maimer or for any purpose, to any amount, including existing indebtedness in the aggregate exceeding five per centum on the value o f the taxable property therein, to be ascertained by the last assessment for State and county taxes pre vious to the incurring of such indebtedness. Any county, city, town, village, school district, or other municipal corporation incurring any indebtedness, as aforesaid, shall before or at the time of doing so pro vide for the collection of a direct annual tax sufficient to pay the interest on such debt as it falls due, and also to pay and discharge the principal thereof within twenty years from the time o f contracting the same. On April 20,1893, a new law passed by the Legislature of Wisconsin was approved by the Governor which gives general authority for the issuance of bonds to cities' operating under special charters granted by the State, and containing a population of three thousand or more in habitants, as follows. This authority is o f course subject to the fo re• going provisions o f the Constitution. For the erection and construction o f a oity hall and the purchase o f a site for the same. For the construction and extension of water works or the purchase of the same, and for constructing sewers, and for the improvement and maintenance of the same. For the erection, construction and completion of school buildings and the purchase of school sites. For the purchase of sites for engine houses, for fire engines and other equipments of the fire department, and for the construction of engine houses. For the purchase of sites for police stations and for the construction if buildings thereon for tho use of the police department. For the construction o f viaducts, bridges, and for repairs o f the same. For the erection and construction of library and museum buildings and the purchase of sites for the same. For the establishment of public baths and hospitals and the purchase of sites for the same. For the purchase of lands for public parks and improvements thereof and for the payment of purchase money and interest thereon which may be or become due for park lands already acquired or contracted For permanently Improving streets in such city, and for creating & fund out o f which to advance the cost of repairs to sidewalks in antic ipation of the collection of special assessments for such cost of repairs by the Treasurer of such city. _ . . For the construction or purchase of electric or gas light plants for lighting streets and public buildings. For refunding existing indebtedness. The law further provides that bonds issued under this act shall bear interest, payable annually or semi-annually, at a rate not exceed ing 6 per cent per annum; that the Common Council shall annually levy a tax upon all the taxable property sufficient to pay the annual Interest thereon, and to provide a sinking fund each year equal to 5 per cent on the principal of said bonds; that no bonds shall be issued so that the amount thereof, together with all the other indebtedness of the city, shall exoeed 5 per cent of the assessed valuation of the city and also that the bonds shall show on their face the amount o f indebted ness of the city issuing the same, the annual amount of the assessment o f the taxable property therein for the five years next preceding the issue, and the average amount thereof, and they shall not be sold for less than their par value and accrued interest. No system oould be devised better adapted for keeping municipal debt at a minimum than the foregoing amendment establishes.

DEBT LIMITATION.— Minnesota has protected the State from ex travagant expenditures through restrictions which its Constitution puts on every kind of debt making. That instrument fixes the limit at $250,000 “ for the purpose of defraying extraordinary expenditures;” and an amendment, ratified in 1879, extended this power to $250,000 addiional “ for erecting and completing buildings for the insane, a deaf, dumb and blind asylum, and State prison.” Besides the foregoing, It is also provided that the State ciedit shall not be loaned, &o. With regard to the debt of municipalities there is but one section in the Constitu tion which relates to that subject, and that has reference to making railroad debt. FIBST, as to State indebtedness, the sections which treat o f the sub set are in article 9, sections 5, 6 ,7 ,8 and 14. Section 5. (Public debt may be contracted.) For the purpose o f de fraying extraordinary expenditures, the State may contract publlo debts, but such debts shall never, in the aggregate, exceed two hundred and fifty thousand dollars r every such debt shall be authorized by law for some single object, to be distinctly specified therein; and no such law shall take effect until it shall have been passed by the vote o f twothirds of the members of each branch of the Legislature, to be recorded by the yeas and nays on the journals of each House, respectively; and every such law shall levy a tax, annually, sufficient to pay the annual interest of such debt, and also a tax sufficient to pay the principal of such debt within ten years from the final passage of such law, and shall specially appropriate the proceeds of such taxes to the payment of such principal and interest; and such appropriation and taxes shall not be repealed, postponed, or diminished, until the principal and interest of such debt shall have been wholly paid. The State shall never contract any debts for works o f internal improvement, or be a party in carrying on such works, except in cases where grants of land or other property shall have been made to the State, especially dedicated by the grant to speciflo purposes; and in such cases the State shall devote thereto the avails 01 such grants, and may pledge or appropriate the revenues de rived from such works in aid of their completion. Section 6.—(Public debt how contracted.) All debts authorized by the preceding section shall be contracted by loan on State bonds o f amounts not less than five h mdred dollars each, on interest, payable within ten years after the final passage of the law authorizing such debt; and such bonds shall not be sold by the State under par. A correct registry of all such bonds shall be kept by the Treasurer in numerical order, so as al ways to exhibit the number and amount unpaid and to whom severally made payable. Section 7.—The State shall never contract any public debt, unless in time of war, to repel invasion or suppress insurrection, except in the oases and in the manner provided in the fifth and sixth sections of this article. Section 8.—(Appropriation o f money received from loan or State bonds.) The money arising from any loan made, or debt or liability con tracted, shall be applied to the object specified in the act authorizing such debt or liability, or to the repayment of such debt or liability, ana to no other purpose whatever. Section 14.—(State debt fo r public buildings). For the purpose of erecting and completing buildings for a hospital for the insane, a deaf, dumb and blind asylum, and State prison, the Legislature may by law increase the public debt of the State to an amount not exceeding two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, in addition to the public debt al ready heretofore authorized by the Constitution, and for that purpose may provide by law for issuing and negotiating the bonds of the State and appropriate the money only for the purpose aforesaid; which bonds shall be payable in not less than ten nor more than thirty years from the date of the same, at the option of the State. SECOND, as to city, county or other municipality the only restriction on the debt-making power in the Constitution is the following, found in article 9, section 15. Section 14.—(Municipal debts in aid o f railroads.) The Legisla ture shall not authorize any county, township, otty or other municipal corporation to issue bonds or to become indebted in any manner to aid in the construction or equipment of auy or all railroads to an amount that shall exceed five per centum of the value of the taxable property within such county, township, city, or other municipal corporation; the amount of such taxable property to be ascertained and determined by the last assessment of said property made for the purpose of State and county taxation previous to the incurring of such indebtedness. The foregoing was adopted as an amendment in 1879. Before its adoption the section read so as to authorize municipal corporations to issue bonds in aid of railroads to ten p er cent of valuation. Hence the amendment consisted in simply changing the word ten and making it five. This is all the Constitution contains with reference to the debts of municipalities. The Legislature, however, has made some general pro visions governing bond issues, which w ill be found in the State and City Supplement for October, 1899, and in previous numbers o f that publication.

D EB T LIM ITATION. —Missouri has made provision in its Const!' tution restricting the creation of debt both on behalf of the State and of its municipalities. FIRST, with respect to the State, the regulations are full and specific. They are found in article 4. sections 44, 45 and 46, which we subjoin. A rticle 4, Section 44. (General Assembly not to contract debts except as herein.) The General Assembly shall have no power to contract or to authorize the contracting of any debt or liability on behalf of the State, or to issue bonds or other evidences of indebtedness thereof, exoept in the following cases: First, In renewal of existing bonds, when they cannot be paid at maturity out of the sinking fund or other resources. Second, on the occurring of an unforeseen emergency, or casual defi ciency of the revenue, when the temporary liability incurred, upon the recommendation of the Governor first had, shall not exceed the sum o f 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 occurring of any unforeseen emergency, or casual defi ciency of the revenue, when the temporary liability incurred or to be incurred shall exceed the sum of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars for any one year, the General Assembly may submit an act providing for the loan, or for the contracting of the liability, and containing a pro vision for levying a tax sufficient to pay the interest and principal when they become due (the latter in not more than thirteen years from the date of its creation), to the qualified voters of the State, and when the act so submitted shall have been ratified by a two-thirds majority, at an election held for that purpose, due publication having been made of the provisions of the act for at least three months before such election, the act thus ratified shall be irrepealable until the debt thereby incurred shall be paid, principal and interest. Section 45. (State's credit not to be loaned.) The General Assembly shall have no power to give or to lend, or to authorize the giving or lending of the credit of the State in aid of or to any person, asso ciation or corporation, whether municipal or other, or to pledge the credit of the State in any manner whatsoever, for the pay ment of the liabilities, present or prospective, of any individual, association of individuals, municipal or other corporation whatsoever. Section 46. (Public money, grant o f prohibited.) The General Assem bly shall have no power to make any grant, or to authorize the making of any grant of public money or thing of value to any individual, asso ciation of individuals, municipal or other corporation whatsoever. Provided, That this shall not be so construed as to prevent the grant o f aid in a case of public calamity. The foregoing sections cover all phases of State indebtedness and so restrict action as to put the State beyond the chance of future debt em barrassment. Vol. LXXI STATE AND CITY SUfftEM ENT. 1 1 8 SECOND, with regard to cities and other municipalities, the provisions *re in like manner full and wisely constructed. There are three—section 47 in article 4, section 6 in article 9 and section 12 in article 10. We give them complete below. A rticle 4, Section 47. (Municipalities, loaning credit of.) The Gen eral Assembly shall have no power to authorize any county, city, town or township, or other political corporation or sub-division of the State now existing, or that may be hereafter established, to lend its credit, or to grant public money or thing of value in aid of or to any individual, association or corporation whatsoever, or to become a stockholder in such corporation, association or company. A r t ic l e 9, Section 6. (Municipalities not to subscribe to capital stock o f corporations.) No county, township, city or other municipality shall hereafter become a subscriber to the capital stock of any railroad or other corporation or association, or make appropriation or donation, or loan its credit to or in aid of any such corporation or association, or to or in aid of any college or institution of learning or other institution, whether created for or to be controlled by the State or others. All authority heretofore conferred for any of tbe purposes aforesaid by the General Assembly, or by the charter of any corporation, is hereby re pealed : Provided, however, That nothing in this Constitution contained shall affect the right of any such municipality to make such subscrip tion where the same baa been authorized under existing laws by a vote o f the people of such municipality prior to its adoption, or to prevent the issue o f renewal bonds, or the use of such other means as are or may be prescribed by law for the liquidation or payment of such sub scription, or of any existing indebtedness. A r t ic l e 10, Section 12. (Municipal indebtedness, limit of.) No county, city, town, township, school district or other political corpora tion or sub-division of the State shall be allowed to become indebted in any manner or for any purpose to an amount exceeding in any year the Income and revenue provided for such year, without tne assent of twothirds o f the voters thereof voting at an election to be held for that purpose; nor in cases requiring such assent shall any indebtedness be allowed to be incurred to an amount, including existing indebtedness, in the aggregate exceeding five per centum on the value of the taxable property therein, to be ascertained by the assessment next before the last assessment for State and county-purposes, previous to the incur ring of such indebtedness: Provided, That with such assent any county may be allowed to become indebted to a larger amount for the erection o f a court-house or jail. And provided further, That any county, city, town, township, school district, or other political corporation or sub division of the State, incurring any indebtedness, requiring the assent o f the voters as aforesaid, shall, before or at the time of doing so, pro vide fox the collection of an annual tax sufficient to pay the interest on such indebtedness as it falls due, and also to constitute a sinking fund for payment of the principal thereof, within twenty years from the time of contracting the same. It is scarcely necessary to add anything to the foregoing. The sections given make clear (1) that a municipality cannot loan its credit; (2) that It cannot subscribe to the capital stock of corporations; (3) that it can not get into debt unless two-thirds of the voters voting at an election favor it, and then only to an aggregate of 5 per cent of valuation, except that with such assent any county may be allowed to become indebted in a larger amount for the erection of a court house or Jail, and Anally (4) that before or at the time of getting the assent of the voters an annual tax must be provided sufficient to pay interest and form a sinking fund to pay the debt within 20 years. These provisions are certainly very conservative.

No debt shall be contracted by the State except as here in provided, unless the proposed law for creating such debt shall first be submitted to a direct vote of the electors of the State at some general election; and if such proposed law shall be ratified by a majority of all the votes cast at such general election, then it shall be the duty of the Legislature next after such election to enact such law and create such debt, subject to all the provisions and restrictions provided in the pre ceding section of this article. Borrow money. The State may borrow money to repel invasion, suppress insurrection or defend the State in time of war; but the money thus raised shall be applied exclusively to the object for which the loan was authorized, or to the repayment of the debt thereby created. Internal improvements. The State shall never be a party in carrying on any works of internal improvement. MUNICIPAL indebtedness is not restricted by the Constitution at all. The only provision for the regulation of such matters contained in that instrument is the following, requiring the Legislature to make general laws and restricting the power to make debt in the case of cities, towns and villages. Cities. Provision shall be made by general law for the organization of cities, towns and villages; and their power of taxation, assessment, borrowing money, contracting debts and loaning their credit, shall be so restricted as to prevent the abuse of such power. Under the foregoing the legislation of Kansas has become so exten sive that our limited space here does not admit of even a brief digest.

INCIDENTS IN STATE ORGANIZATION, ETC.-See State and C ity Supplement of April, 1893, page 124, for the facts and statements heretofore given under this head. HISTORY OF DEBT.—When Kansas was admitted into the Union as a State (in 1861) it had a bonded 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 whioh the State owned $28,650. In 1878 the total bonded debt was $1,181,975, of which the State owned $713,600. The bonded debt Sept. 1, 1900, was $583,000, all held by State funds. At present the debt is ; LOANS— > Interest.-?-* ,------------Principal.-----------> — NA M E AN D P U R P O S E . P. Ot. Payable.

This limit, however, has two exceptions. First, the next section provides that it may be exceeded if the proposed law for creating such debt shall be submitted to a vote of the electors, and if the proposed law be ratified by a majority of the votes cast. Second, the section following provides that the State may borrow money to •repel invasion, &o. We give these sections in full and also the subse, quent one which forbids the State being a party to internal improve ments. Debts, annual tax; proceeds. For the purpose of defraying extraordin ary expenses and making public improvements, the State may contract public debts; but such debts shall never, in the aggregate, exceed one million dollars, except as hereinafter provided. Every such debt shall be authorized by law for some purpose specified therein, and the vote of a majority of all the members elected to each House, to be taken by the yeas and nays, shall be necessary to the passage of such law; and every such law shall provide for levying an annual tax sufficient to pay the annual interest of such debt and the principal thereof when it shall become due; and shall specifically appropriate the proceeds of such taxes to the payment of such principal and interest; and such appropri ation shall not be repealed nor the taxes postponed or diminished until the interest and principal of such debt shall have been wholly paid.

The above shows the debt for which Alturas County was primarily held, the bonds having been issued by Alturas County before the creation of Elmore and Logan counties and before the annexation of a part of Alturas to Bingham. When the Legislature parcelled out Alturas County it failed to provide for an apportionment of the debt. The amount which Alturas County will be required to pay is only about one-flfth of above amount, because the bonds pledged the tax able property of the county as constituted at the time of issue, and. be fore the division of Alturas.

DEBT LIMITATION.— Colorado’s Constitutional provisions with reference to the creation of debt are of considerable length, and strike one at first as quite elaborate. After a brief study of the provisions 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 are found in article 11 of the Constitution. See State and City Supplement of April, 1895, pages 140 and 141.

HISTORY OF DEBT.—For history of Oregon’s State debt see S tate and City Supplement of April, 1894, page 147. To-day Oregon practically has no debt. There are some little left-over lotsthatgoby that name, in the aggregate amounting to $1,829*79, which the State is ready and would be very glad to pay, but cannot get them in. Interest on these ceased prior to December 31,1896. i On January 1,1900, $12,809 of general fund and $32,946 of Scalp County fund warrants were outstanding, in addition to which there are $36,344 of swamp land warrants, payable out of the proceeds of sales of swamp lands, redeemable on oall of the Treasurer. On Jan. 1, 1900, the amounts held in the irreduoible trust funds was as follows: School fund, $3,199,302; Agricultural College fund, $140,694, and University fund, $101,398. VALUATION.—The gross valuation according to the returns of the county boards of equalization for 1899 was $128,373,108; exemptions, $8,090,229; net taxable valuation, $120,282,879. State tax rate (per $1,000), 1899 was $6-30. DEBT LIMITATION.—Oregon framed and adopted its Constitution in 1857. It is quite a notable fact that the people of the State are •to-day living under that instrument in the precise form in which it was •originally adopted, for there never has been an amendment made to it. The provisions with respect to debt limitation will be found on pages 150 and 151 of the State and City Supplement of April, 1895.

The provisions of the Constitution with refer ence to creating debt are so comprehensive and plain that it is neces sary to do no more than copy the sections relating to the subject. FIRST, with reference to the State, there are three sections; the first limits the debt, the second names exceptions to the limit and the third provides the method in which additional debt may be created. These sections are all found in article 8 , and were given in the State and City Supplement of April, 1895; page 152. SECOND, Counties, Cities, Towns die. are more rigorously guarded. The whole system as to municipalities is found in section 6 of article 8 , though section 7 is also important, as it forbids counties, cities &o. giving money or loaning credit to any corporation &o. Sections 6 and 7 wilTbe found on page 152 of the April, 1895, S upplement .

By the Act of January 25,1898, how ever, another opportunity to fund the bonds was given. By this Aot bondholders had until July 1,1898, to come in and accept the terms, and power was given the Commissioners of the Sinking Fund to extend the time until Dec. 31,1898. By Aot of Feb. 3,1900, the time was again extended, this time to July 1, 1900, with authority to still further extend it to Jan. 1,1901. Bonds were to carry interest from the semi-annual period next preceding the date of funding. Under the old law coupon bonds once converted into registered certificates were not re-convertible into coupon bonds, but the 1892 Aot makes «soupon and registered bonds interchangeable. WEST VIRGINIA CERTIFICATES-—In the settlement of 1871 it was assumed that West Virginia should provide for one-third the prin cipal and interest of the then existing debt, that is $15,239,370 out of the total debt of $45,718,112. To represent, therefore, West Vir ginia’s share of bonds funded “ deferred certificates” were issued. All efforts, however, to induce West Virginia to take recognition of these certificates have thus far been unavailing. In 1885 the holders of about $ 8 ,000,000 certificates united for the purpose of obtaining a comprom ise, and deposited their holdings with the Farmers’ Loan & Trust Com pany, which gave its trust receipts therefor. This attempt came to nothing, and in 1890 Messrs. C. Satterthwaite & Sons, of No. 30 Throg morton Street, London, E. C., started another movement to bring about a settlement. An a4justment company, with the Mercantile Trust & Deposit Com pany of Baltimore at its head, was formed late in 1893 for the purpose of making an attempt at the settlement of the West Virginia certificates. See Chronicle , Vol. 57, page 819; Vol. 58, pages 51, 314 and 444. In August, 1898, another movement was started, this time under the leadership of Messrs. Brown Bros., with the same object in view, and that movement is now being vigorously pushed. The plan provides for ascertaining the exact amount of the old Virginia debt with which West Virginia is justly chargeable (subject to certain limitations), and then compromising that amount at the same percentage at which Vir ginia compromised the two-thirds of the original Virginia debt, namely, 60 per cent for principal and 30*4 per cent for interest. (See the edi torial article in State and City Supplement for April, 1899.) The Legislature of Virginia in March, 1900, passed a bill authorizing the State Debt Commission to take such aotion and institute such pro ceedings as may be deemed proper to protect the State's Interests and to bring about a settlement with West Virginia. (V. 70, p. 494.) The purpose of this Act was to enable Virginia to bring suit against West Virginia in the U. S. Supreme Court. 'Application was made June 3, 1900, and granted by the Governiirg'Colnmittee June 13,1900, to list Brown Bros. & Co.’s Virginia de'erred certificates on the New York Stock Exchange. The amount so listed was $6,455,426, issue of 1871, and power was granted to add thereto from time to time as additional certificates may be issued under the plan of settlement. The official statement made to the Stock Exchange at the time of listing shows that deferred certificates issues of 1871,1879,1882 and 1892 to the amount of $8,103,899 90 have been deposited with the committee, while $560,000 more (issue of 1871) were pledgedin the event that the listing was accomplished —V. 70, p 1202-03. After about three-fourths of the old Virginia bonds had been sur rendered, and “ deferred certificates” been given to represent West Virginia’s one third, under the acts of 1871 and 1879, these acts were repealed. The remaining bonds were refunded under other laws. These laws required a certificate to represent one-third the principal of the old bonds brought in for funding, but gave “ non-interest-bearing certificates” to represent one-third the interest on old bonds. The fol lowing shows the amounts of each issue: L O A N S,-----Interest.---- .,---------- Principal.------- — , „ n a m e A N D P U R P O SE . P. Ot. Payable. When Due.

Memphis is the County seat of Shelby County. A yellow fever epidemic in 1878 rendered the city unable to meet its obligations, and in 1879 the city’s charter was repealed and the Taxing District of Shelby County was organized for the purpose of securing a compromise with the bondholders on such terms as the city felt able to make. The courts, however, held that the Taxing District was liable for the entire debt of the city, and a compromise at 50 per cent was then arranged for under the act of March 1883. This act was amended in 1885. The old debt has been all retired and interest payments on the new issues are promptly made. In 1891, by an act of the Legislature, this dis trict was again incorporated as a city. LOANS— When D u e' LOANS— When Due. T axing D istrict of Shelby Co.

These laws provided for the issue of (1) consolidated 4 p. c. bonds duein 1910 to fund old ante-war bonds at 40 per cent of face value, “ New’r railroad bonds recognized as valid at 25 per cent, and bonds of 1866> and 1868 at 15 per cent, nothing being given for overdue coupons; and (2) for new consolidated 6 per cent bonds due in 1919, for which the North Carolina RR. construction bonds were made exchangeable at par, holders of construction bonds abating $240 of overdue interest on each $1,000 bond. The new bonds, both 4s and 6s, carry tax-receivable coupons, and are exempt from “ all State, county or corporate taxation or assessment, direct or indirect, general or special.” An amendment to the State Constitution passed by the Legislature in 1879 and ratified by popular vote in 1880, forbids che General Assembly to pay or recognize as valid the following bonds: Special tax bonds $11,366,000; bonds to Chatham RR., 1868, $1,030,000, and toWilliamston & Tarboro RR., $150,000; Penitentiary bonds of 1869 $44,000.

At present before any bond can be issued by a municipality o r oounty it must receive the certificate of the Attorney General that it is a lawful obligation. It must then be registered in the office of the State Comptroller, and when the bond is so issued its validity cannot be questioned except on the grounds of fraud or forgery. The text of the law will be found in the State and City Supplement o f April, 1895, page 178. Where the fact is known to us we have marked with a star (*) in the returns below the issues put out p rior to the enactment o f the above law. A law went into effect Aug. 26,1899, compelling counties and incor porated towns and cities to submit propositions for the issuance o f bonds [all except “ funding bonds issued or to be issued of any valid outstanding bonds of said county, town or city;” also excepting bond Issues for less than $2,000, when “ issued for the purpose of repairing buildings or structures, for the building of which bonds are allowed tobe issued,” ] to a vote of the qualified taxpayers before the issue can be submitted to the Attorney General for approval as required by the law of 1893—V. 69, p. 509. * PO P ULAT IO N.—The population of Texas has been as follows : 1890.............2,235,523 I 1 8 7 0 . . . ....... 818,579 11 8 5 0 ..............212,592 1880.............1,591,749 |I8 6 0 ................604,215 | Of the total population in 1890 492,837 were blacks, which compareswith 393,384 in 1880, 253,475 in 1870,182,931 in 1860 and 58,558 in1850. It will he observed that the proportion of the colored race has really diminished, the ratio for 1890 being only 22-04 per cent, against 4-71 per cent in 1880 and larger percentages m previous decades. f Cities , Counties a n d T owns We give below the bonded debt and assessed valuations for 1900, IN THE the tax rate for 1899 and population for 1898, for all counties in the Territory reporting a debt of over $10,000, and which are not included STATE OF TEX AS. among the foregoing d etailed returns.
