MUNICIPAL


Throughout the United States the need

municipal debt is needed The easy reck-

ferred until day after tomorrow the pay

squared UP today has tended TO mort
gage the future
Creation OF bonded and floating indebt-
edness In the development of the plan
OF rapidly growing cities is necessary, but
the most conservative policy should be
enforced by incurring these obligations
