MUNICIPAL INDEBTEDNESS IN ENGLAND,
lilo English newspapers are making eiTortB
to arouso tho attention Of thoir people to the
alarming iucroaso in municipal indebtedness
aud taxation. Tho municipalities Of England
aro not nearly as badly of as those Of tho
United States, not only because tho aggre.
gate Of their dobta and the rate Of taxation
aro not 80 large, but because tho people rs a
rule get agood deal moro for tl,oir nsoncy.
Nevertheless, tho ratio Of increase during lato
yearR has boen 10 large "a to lend to serious
apprehension that tho English ctics are rc-
lapsing into The same improyilout system
TINT has prevailed in this country for many
years, and which is far from having beon
abandoned eycn during tho hard tirnes aud
,tndof tho most violent popular pEotests. It
is curious to nota IN somo Of Tho English
journals suggestion Of enlarglng and liboral-
izIng the local methods Of voting aa a
possible cure for tho growing evil,
while the experience In this couutry
has almost forced tho conclusion that there
must be contraction Of the system Of
universal suffrage, 80 far rs olties ere con.
corued, before the sa1-lovying aud debt
contracting powers Of municipal corporations
can be properly controlled.
Tho reports Of the President Of tho Loonl
Government Board to Parliament show
that the municipalities levy taxoa that now
amount to $3.50, ,0oo, 900 yearly, or about one-
third Of tho produce Of tho Queens ta1es,
Tho aggregate sum owed by the .nuntoipali.
