The Presidents Message YetoinE
the Ell Concerning o=den's In :
creased Indebtedness.

WAsHISGrO April 2j.-As
briefly stated in Saturdays NEWS,
the President yotsed the bill ITO
authorize the City Of Ogden, Utah.
to assume incIeased indebtedness"
In his message the President
says: "rhe general law fixes a
limit Of 4 per cent on the last as
sessment for taxation as the limit
OF Indebtedness which municipal
corporations in the Territories may
assume. This bill extends the limit
Of Ogden to 5 per cent The pur-
poses are not peculiar or exception
al. They relate to schools, street
improvements, etc, and are COM
mon to every prosperous town. II
the argument by which the measure
is supported is adopted the couclu-
sion should be a repeal or m0diti-
cation Of the general law,
but in my opinion the linn
itation imposed by law is wise and
wholesome and should not be re-
Iaxed. The city now has power 10
Increase its indebtedness SlS0,Oo0,
which would seem enough to make
a good beginning in the constitute
ton OF sewers, while the Gust OF
street improvements is usually met
by direct assessments. Almost all
the States have limited the power Of
municipal corporations to incur in
debtedness, and the limit is gener-
ally lower than that fixed in the
Territories. | don't doubt but that
the citizens % Ogden will ultimately
realize that the creation Of munich
PAL debt Of over half million dol
lars by city OF 1900 population,

struct United States Marshal

his hands. IL he apprehends resist
ance he will employ such a civil
posse as may seem adequate 10 dis
courage resistance or 10 overcome It,
He should proceed with the calm
ness and moderation which should
always attend a public officer in the
execution OF his duty and, NJ the
same time, with firmness and cOur-
age that will impress the lawless

danger and futility OF resistance.
"IOI will assure the officers IL
