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

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

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

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

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 follow ing is a statement o f the debt o f the United States past and present. To add to its usefulness we give refer
ences to the laws authorizing each o f the issues of bonds outstanding to-day, and likewise, so far as we deem it needful, cita
tions from those laws.
A ll our figures, except when otherwise noted, represent the status at the close o f business June 30 or the beginning of
business on July 1 of each fiscal year. To conform to that feature and yet furnish information through which any reader
can always have the data for a correct exhibit o f the debt situation at any past or future day, and make an accurate com
parison with previous years, we present, First , the details as they stood at the close of the last fiscal year ending June 30
1900; Second, the changes in those details since June 30 1900 down to Oct. 1 1900; Third , the items o f interest-bearing
debt, &c., at the beginning o f each fiscal year since July 1 1876; F ourth , we publish in the Chronicle every month—usually
the first or second Saturday—the full detailed Government statement o f the debt as reported by the Treasurer on the last
day o f the previous m on th ; some months lack o f space forces us to delay the publication to a later week.
W ith these data at his command, it would seem as if any inquirer could satisfy himself fully with reference to every

The foregoing shows that the Government debt on June 30 1900 was made up of (1) interest-bearing debt, $1,023,478,860, o f
(2) debt on which interest has ceased, $1,176,320 26, of (3) debt bearing no interest, $388,761,732 41, making total gross debt,
$1,413,416,912 67 ; subtracting from the total the net cash balance in the Treasury ($305,705,654 78) at the same date (June
30 1900) we have the net debt as it stood at the close of the last fiscal year, $1,107,711,257 89. To bring down the interestbearing debt to Oct. 1 19i)0—which, as stated, was $1,023,478,860 on June 30 1900—we must add the $28,125,250 Consols

$1,001,499,260.
For later and future details o f the debt, see the same as issued every month in the C h ron icle , the first or a later Saturday.
W e now add, first, references to and citations from the laws which are the authority for the debt as it stands to-day, including
the new 2 per cent loan authorized March 14,1900; second, the tw o tables on the next page, which exhibit all the particu
lars o f the total debt of the United States on June 30 o f each year from 1876 to 1900, and on Oct. 1, 1900 ; third, the
Pacific Railroad bonds, which are never included in the Treasury debt statements.
“ FUNDED LOAN OF 1891 ” (Column 1) 4*2 per cents, continued at 2 per cent. The bonds o f this issue were issued in exchange for the

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.

.. “ 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.

N ote 2.—The figures for July 1 1879 were made up assuming pending funding operations to have been completed.
* Note 3.—Under the A ct of March 14 1900 the Treasury Department has kept the gold Reserve Fund of $150.000 000 as a senarate itAm
and not included it in the available cash balance. In the foregoing statement, however, we have continued to include’ the item so as not to

total of Government debt—we mean the Pacific Railroad subsidy debt. To show the situation o f this indebtedness we
have to make compilations o f our own, as the Treasury form comes short o f indicating the existing situation In the
follow ing we bring together the details respecting the issues to the Pacific Railroads, giving likewise in the statement the
debt already paid and the balance due to the Government.

D EB T LIM ITATIO N S.— Constitutional and statutory limitations
restricting municipal Indebtedness have become quite a feature sinoe
the crisis of 1873. 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

tained in Public Laws 1895, Chapter 161, Public Laws 1893, Chapter

All the provisions referred to above have been compiled by the Bank
Examiner, and we give his compilation below in full.

The tax rate for 1900 is $2-00 per $1,000, which includes State school
and State highway taxes of 50 cents each per $1,000, collected
and re-distributed to towns on a basis of the number of schools and
road mileage.
DEBT LIMITATIONS.—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.

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

on this subject with respect to Cities and Towns.

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.

MUNICIPAL INDEBTEDNESS LIM ITATIO N S.— There is nothing
in the Constitution o f Rhode Island limiting the amount of city debts.
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.

(8) A ll other mvestments shall consist of deposits in incorporated
banks or trust companies located in this State or in the States of New

(9) Or of loans secured by mortgage on unincumbered real estate
situated in this State, worth double the amount of the loan secured
thereon, provided that any savings bank in the towns of Putnam.
Brooklyn and Killingly may loan on land located in the County of
Providence in the State of Rhode Island ; any savings bank in the
town of Ridgefield may loan on land located in the County of West
chester in the State of New Y ork; any savings bank in the town of
Enfield or in the town of Stafford may loan on land located in the
County o f Hampden in the State of Massachusetts; and any savings
hank in the town of Stonington may loan on land located in the
County o f Washington in the State of Rhode Island.
It would seem according to the foregoing amendment of section
1800 that only forty per cent of the deposits and surplus of any
savings bank may be employed on personal security, but that no limit
is placed upon the amount which may be invested in the other 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.

Section 495 of the General Statutes the following liberal provisions
providing that trust funds may be loaned or invested in the same
securities savings banks are authorized to invest in.
Sec. 495.—Trust funds, unless it is otherwise provided in the instru
ment creating the trust, may be loaned on the security of mortgages on
unencumbered real estate in this State, double in value the amount

of this State, or of any town, city, or borough of this State, or in any

During a period of eleven years ending in 1893 the State debt was
paid at the average of $1,000,000 per year, and practically wiped out.
A t the November election in 189o the proposition to issue bonds or
the State to the amount of $9,000,000, for the purpose of enlarging and
improving the Erie Can al, the Champlain Canal, and the Oswego Canal,
was submitted to the voters and carried. These bonds have all been
issued to date, but nearly $500,000have been paid off from the proceeds
o f the tax levied for a sinking fund, leaving outstanding Oct. 1, 1900,
$8,500,660, whioh, with the $330,000 Comptroller’ s Certificates and
$400,000 Adirondack Park Bonds and $900,000 Defense Bonds, a total
o f $10,130,660, constituted the State’s indebtedness on O ot. 1,1900.

the real estate of such county or city subject to taxation, as It appeared
by the assessment rolls of said county or city on the last assessment for
State or county taxes prior to the incurring of such indebtedness; and
all indebtedness in excess of such limitation, except such as may now
exist, shall be absolutely void, except as herein otherwise provided.
(3) No county or city whose present indebtedness exceeds ten per
centum of the assessed valuation of its real estate subject to taxation,
shall be allowed to become indebted in any further amount until such
indebtedness shall be reduced within such limit.
(4) This section shall not be construed to prevent the issuing of certif
icates of indebtedness or revenue bonds issued in anticipation of the
collection of taxes for amounts actually contained, or to be contained
in the taxes for ■ year when such certificates or revenue bonds are
he
issued and payable out of such taxes
(5) Nor shall this section be construed to prevent the issue of bonds
to provide for the supply of w ater; but the terms of the bonds issued to
provide the supply of water shall not exceed twenty years, and a sink
ing fund shall be created on the issuing of the said bonds for their re
demption, by raising annually a sum which will produce an amount
equal to the sum of the principal and interest of said bonds at their
maturity.

(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
20. 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.

SAVINGS BANKS’ INVESTMENTS-POWERS AND RESTRIC
TIONS.—The last general savings bank law of New Jersey wa»
passed in 1876. 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

NEW JERSEY—CITIES AND TOWNS
October, 1900.
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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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:

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.
POPULATION OF S T A T E 1890..............1,042,390 1860......

1870.................780,894 1840......
.470,019 1810.................380,546
Of the total population in 1880 22*49 per cent was colored and in
1890 20*92 per cent. In number, blacks were 165,091 in 1850;
171,131 in 1860; 175,391 in 1870; 210,230 in 1880; and 218,004 in 1880.
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.

District of Columbia.
(INCLUD G THE LATE CORPORATION OF W A SH IN G TO N .)
On July 1,1878, the duties of the Sinking Fund Commissioners of the
District of Columbia were transferred to the Treasurer of the United
States, and since that date Congress has appropriated annually a sum
sufficient to pay not only the interest on the District’s bonds but also,
It is believed, sufficient to extinguish the entire debt of the District upon
the maturity o f the 3*65 per cent loan, in 1924. Bonds are tax exempt.

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,

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.

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

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.

Besides the State tax of $1*70 for 1899 there is a tax o f $1*23 for

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.

Other debts. 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.
The reader will, however, find the ground very fully covered in a series
of articles which were published in the Chronicle , Yol. 53, pages 854
and 942, and Vol. 54, pages 42 and 128.

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 ;

DEBT LIMITATION — Kansas has by its Constitution given the
State power to contract public debts for the purpose of defraying extra
ordinary expenses and making public improvements in an amount not
to exceed $1,000,000. 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.

see State and City Supplement of April, 1895, pages 138 and 139.

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. Elmore, Logan and part of Bingham
Oountv were taken from Alturas County in 1889.

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.
POPULATION OF STATE.—The population of Colorado has been
as follows in the year named: in 1897 it was estimated at 500,000:

This city is the county seat of Sacramento County and the capital
of the State. The original debt was a little less than $1,600,000, being
four series of 6 per cent bonds, issued in 1858, and falling due in
1888,1893,1898 and 1903 The flood of 1861-1862 destroyed half of
the property values, and the coupons had been delinquent for a dozen

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.
POPULATION OF STATE.—The population of Oregon has been as
follows in the years named:
1890 .............. 313,767 I 1870 ................ 90,923 11850 ............... 13,294

DEBT LIMITATION.—Like so many of the younger States, Wash
ington has taken a conservative position with respect to State and
municipal indebtedness. 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 .

The Virginia Legislature re-enacted the Funding Act of Feb. 20,1892,
And under its provisions all old Virginia bonds were allowed to be
brought in and funded into new Century bonds, upon the same terms
175 t o 176
as the Olcott settlement, provided they were presented for funding
prior to December 31,1896. 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:

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.

60 days members “ shall serve without

and there is no limit t o

ST A TE DEBT.—The old debt, excepting such as is not recognized,,
has mostly been funded under the funding laws of 1879, the time pres
cribed for the exchange having been extended to January 1,1901.
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. The special tax bonds are in 3 classes, class 1 bearing thecoupon o f April 1869 and since; class 2 bearing the coupon of Oct.
1869; class 3 bearing the coupon of April, 1870 Holders of the special
tax bonds brought suit to establish the validity of their bonds anti
the case was decided in favor of the State.

To the foregoing we should add the further fact that the State doe»

‘ Section 49 of the Code says: “ The Governor-elect shall begin the dis
charge of his duties from the time of his inauguration. The ceremony of
inauguration shall take place during the first week of the session of the
General Assembly next after the election, and on such day of that week
as the General Assembly by joint resolution appoints. On failure of
appointment, it takes place at 12 o’clock, meridian, on Saturday or that

troller-General and Treasurer shall “ hold their offices for the same
time as the Governor.”
/
HISTORY OF DEBT.—The details of Georgia’s early history in
debt-making will be found in the State and City S upplement
for April, 1893, pages 165 and 166. The debt of the State is
now being steadily reduced, $100,000 being devoted each year
to that purpose. Moreover the State Constitution adopted in
December, 1877, provides against the creation of any bonded
debt “ except to repel invasion, suppress insurrection, or defend the
State in time of war,” $200,000 being made the limit for floating in
debtedness which may be temporarily incurred in case of deficiency in
the revenues.

tions $500 and $1,000, except $58,000 in bonds of 1869 and 1870,
which have not been presented for refunding.

MUNICIPAL AND COUNTY BOND L A W .-A State law approved
in Ï893 has done much to widen the market for new Texas municipal
loans. 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.
