kas. The plight in which the ms.
nicipality finds itself serves so well
to illustrate the unfortunate condi-
ton of some of these communities
that we furnish herewith tran
script of few of the leading items
contained in the return. The facts,
we are sure, will come as a revela9'
tion to those who have not previ-
ously looked into this question of
the burdens under which many sec
tions are laboring.
"In three years the population of
this little city, located in Southern
Kansas and having three railroad
lines connecting it with the outside
world, has dropped from 2,404 to
1914, while the assessed value of the
property of the municipality, which
in 1889 stood at s5l2.6sI, in 1895 was
only $lIl,05l. In other words, popu-
lation has decreased over oue-haif
and property values fully two
thirds; moreover, the city has a
debt of $i6S.1S7. This would be
large enough on the basis of assess
ed values of 1880. but on the basis
of present values, practically the
whole property within the town
would be required to liquidate it,
assessed values being, as we have
seen, only $l7i,O5l, against the debt
