the whole expedition.

Maine Municipal Debts.

There are worse things for nlu-
nicipality than a debt. as the little
town of Eustis, for instance, wisely
decided when it refused 10 sell the
grove of magnificent pines that border
its principal highway for the sake OF
getting $4,000 to wipe out its town debt
and yet most of our towns feels them
selves fortunate when they owe no
money and the figures published IN
yesterday,s,. Journal showing that near
Nv one third of our Maine municipalities
are free from debt, was doubtless a
surprise to most of our readers. There
are lots of interesting and valuable
things hidden away among the tables
in the State assessors report and these
figures about town debts are among the
most Important. OF course, all our
cities have debts7a city. without a debt
would be Il contradiction of terms-and
they range from Portland with an in
dcbtedness of $1.35l ST. down to Brewer
with S"I.659, but that lS2 towns lnclud-
ing some III every county. are wholly
free from debt is an excellent showing.
AS many more have only small debts
which a few years will see disposed OF.
The heavy town debts that followed the
Civil War are new Il thing of the past,
ana the total municipal Indebtedness of
the State is today only and 40 per
cent of the valuation, or IS, $50, 100, and
of this total over two-thirds is owed
. by The 20 cities. This is a fine condition
of things in Il State which is still being

| Il gratifying manner the thrift, pros
perity and municipal economy of oul

demonstrates that the disease is a
blood disorder. a constitutional malady

terfering with important building

extreme demands on the part of the

pension whenever they think they are
guilty Of rushing the men or bringing
