ness as a municipality. so to speak. on
Jan. |, 1898. with a municipal debt in ex-
cess OF $500 10000. a debt larger than that
of any four other cities OF the country.
There Is a general opinion, for which.
however, there Is no real warrant, that the
debt OF American municipalities is based
upon their population, area. age and re-
sources; but the fact Is that while these
elements regulate the running expenses Of
American cities the debt Is fixed rather
by the form OF government they have en-
Joyed or suffered from In the past Bos-
ton and st. Louis are cities OF the same
size very nearly Ohe difference In popu-
latiOn between the two was less than 5000
by the last ccnsus), yet the municipal debt
OF Boston IL three times greater than that
