The rage for issuing municipal bonds
and extending municipal Indebtedness
which swept over the country few
years ago, and from which many cities
and towns have not even yet recovered,
is here and there showing its results in
threats Of reputation or appeals for
compromise with creditors. Nebraska
City sends forth one Of these statements
to holders of her scrip. Her bonds out
standing amount to the sum of $400,0O0
She can't pay the interest, and DON'T ex-
pect to be able to pay the principal. She
shows that the assessed valuation of
property in the municipality is only
$1,000, 900. To make this amount
of property carry the burden of mu-
nicipal Indebtedness any further is i'm
possible. Therefore, the Mayor aud
City Council have met, and after solemn
meditation have adopted resolutions
which declare, in substance, that be-
cause of a series of depressing misfor-
tunes which have come upon the city
and the general depression Of the hard
times, which, because of the other ca
lamities, has fallen with increased Sc.
verify upon them, thus reducing at a
fearful rate the value of properly, par
alyzing all business interests and rem
dering the collection of taxes practical
ly an impossibility, especially when con-
troled by the enormous debt; there
fore, it is resolved that after a careful
examination into the true condition of
affairs, and actuated by the highest pur-
pose to do the best toward those hold
Ing the obligations OF the city, we are
satisfied that the extreme limit of our
ability to pay will not exceed 5O cents
on the dollar of our indeb ednes5. This
30 cents on the dollar it is proposed to
pay by issuing funding bonds of the city
bearing 7 per cent. interest per annum,
payable semi-annually, both principal
and interest, in New York, to run 20
years at the option Of the city. The prop
osition has been sent to the bondhold-
ers in New York, and we have no doubt
