WEST vIRG1NIA,s DEBT.
The Effort to Readiust the Obligation
Tho Complications.

WASHINGTON, d. O., Nov. Stem
eral John Gill and Mr.. John A. Ham
bieton, associated with Il number OF gem
tlemen. have undertaken to put the
West Virginia debt GU sound basis
This debt has long occupied a large
part OF public attention and been SUD-
ject Of frequent criticism.
The Mercantile Trust and Deposit
Company, Of which General Gill Is
president, is acting the same part IN
this matter that the Central Trust Com
pany OF New York did with the Virginia
bonds; but with this difference. that
the Mercantile Trust and Deposit Com
pany OF Baltimore substitutes m in
corporated company in place oil the
usual bondholders' committee, and in
this instance the power OF attorney,
under which the bond will be deposited,
lie written on the back OF each trust GER
tificate that will be issued.
This is CONSIDERED an improvement on
the old method, for it simpliies mat
ters very much, and is the custom III
England.
In view Of the fact that the West
Virginia debt is the only remaining un-
settled ante-war debt, and also OF the
recent compromise between Virginia
and her creditors, it is presumed that
the present undertaking will be rs sue.
cessful and receive the same hearty and
cordial cooperation that was given to
the Olcott committee when they under
took the Virginia debt.
Charles Francis Adams, OF Boston;
William Pinkney Whyte, OF Baltimore,
and Holmes Conrad, OF Winchester,
Va. have been invited to act, and have
consented to serve, as an advisory
board in the adjustment OF the debt.
The matter has become very compii-
Gated and will require careful investi-
cation to ascertain the amount creditors
ought, under the circumstances, be
willing to accept in settlement OF the
certificates issued by Virginia to repre-
sent the one-third OF the commo debt
which she set aside to await sett lOnent
with West Virginia.
The history OF the debt is old and
long when told in detail. 1t began in
1900, and up to 1861 Virginia had ex-
pended upwards Of S45,000000 to con.
struct roads, bridges and other internal
improvements. In 1861 the state had
outstanding S39,OOO000 OF bonds, and
nearly half OF this money was borrowed
to develop what is now West Virginia.
Upon the principle OF law that when a
state is divided its debts shall be appor-
toned to their relative property, popu.
lation and territory, the one-third Of
the old debt thus fixed on West Nir-
ginia would amount to about SlO,500,-
zoo, with interest since 1861, but the
ordinance which divided the state pro-
yided that the new state should take
upon itself the first proportion OF the
public debt, to be ascertained by charg.
ing to it all state expenditures within
its limits, and the just proportion OF the
ordinary expenses OF the state govern
ment since, and part Of the debt was
contracted.
