Whatever may be the opinions con-
corning the causes of this increase OF
debt and expenditures, the fact that the
people have during the past nine years
actually paid sum nearly equal to one
half OF the total value of the real and
personal property of this city, and have
submitted to an expense equal to one
twentieth Of the total taxable values OF
the city yearly, explains the cause OF
present exhaustion and exhibits the
sacrifices that the people of this commu-
nifty have made to meet their obliga-
lions however created.
Notwithstanding the fact that the in
terest upon the debt had generally been
paid with regularity, the public obliga-
tfons Of the city continued to decline
until they scarcely rate at One-third OF
their face value in the market, showing
conclusively that the excessive exactions
for government and interest were prov
ing alike destructive both to the inter
ests of the bondholder and the people.
The following comparative statement
exhibits the condition OF the bonded,
certified and floating debt Of the city OF
