cation to aid districts in erecting pub

which are to be returned in ten equal
annual installments, are practically is
suing bonds for public school build
ings. A debate on this question would
bring out the fact that to suggest the
issuing Of bonds for public improve
mentS is only a roundabout way of
suggesting the borrowing of money by
the public to improve public prop
erty.
North Carolina is ADLER to borrow
thirty million dollars today and invest
it in her roads, schools and institu
tons than she wars to borrow three
million dollirs about 1850 to construct
the North Carolina Railroad from
GoIdsboro to Charlotte. Practically
all of the cities and towns of North
Carolina have issued bonds for the
purpose of increasing the convenienceS
of civilization, schools, streets, sewer
age. etc, and have added thereby to the
value of the property upon which the
tax is levied to make the bonds avail
able. Some communities have issued
bonds for jails, courthouses, bridges
and railroads, but only in rare instan-
ces have they voted or been urged to
vote bonds for the Improvement of
their public roads and their public
schools. the two chief material facors
in their civilization.
The discussion of this question
would bring out the fact that while
Virginia has a state debt of more than
$40, 100000 and most other states have
a debt, North Carolina has no debt
which cannot be met at any time by
selling its railroad stock.
