deal more. the amount Of public
debt for which the city is liable al
u municipal corporation or as ii
part of the State will be 1913, 000,-
300 at the smallest calculation, al
bearing Interest at tile average
rate of seven per cent, and being
something more than one-fourth
part of the eutire value Of taxable

more than the real market value
of such prosperity. t'''' IT.. '...'. . -,.s
