VAST DEBT OF THE CITIES.

Municipal obligations Greater than
Thore of Government and states.
The municipal debts OF the country
are. approximately, s1.G00.000.0 0.00o--a
sum larger than Is owed by the fed
eral government and all the state gov
ernments. OF the total 1t IL worth
while TO note New York contributes,
when all sinking fund deductions are
made, about one-fouith.
The increasing habit OF American
cities to mortgage the future Is one OF
the marked governmental tendencies OF
the times. Although a marked Inn
proyement has taken place In the guam
tity OF municipal government. whatever
the other good faults. there is seem
lngly no disposition to lessen the pub
lie burden. The theory seemingly Is
that municipal resources are practie-
ally unlimited. For public servant
to have prejudice against debt creation
Is considered proof that he is an old
fogy.

sent money put into buildings, streets.
parks, etc, and no small part to meet
administrative deficits. In view OF the
size OF these debts and the little the
public has received from their crea-
ton there can not be kept back feel
ing OF gratitude that the prudence of
the last generation put into state con-
stitutions clauses limiting debt crea.
ton. Except for these clauses there is
reason to fear, with extravaganza and
recklessness in the air as 1t is now, mu-
nicipal Indebtedness would increase
much more than $1O0,00O.000 year.

The Pomona at St. Albans,

The regular June meeting was held
with st. Adams grange TUESDAY June
Il. Notwithstanding the VERY bus4
time with the farmers there Wa n
large attendance, all tina, could com
fortably be seated in the Grange hall
So far AZ the entertainment in the
public speaking and other intellectual
exercises were concerned il was one
of the best sessions OF me Pomona.
The master, overseer. steward
treasurer, secretary and fora were
the officers present. Vacancies were
filled by appointment. Mrs. 4. +.
Badger gave fraternal welcome to
the visiting members and q. II. Fost-
er appropriately responded in behalf
of the Pomona.
Arson, Pittsfeld, St. Adams, Har-
mony, Skowhegan, East Madison,
Canaan, Cambridge, Hartland, Pal
myra, Ripley and Athens oranges
were all reported as prospecting. AR
engagements for the annual field dav
of The Pomona were left in the hands
of the executive committee which is
composed OF q. B. Walker. S. F. EN-
erson, L. F. Butler, f. H Tobey. An
sci Holway. The following topics
were discussed: (Which would be the
most profitable for the farmers to Gull
tivate more extensively and put the
same amount of time and money on
fewer acres2o "ObnOxiOus weeds
and how TO get rid of them.n The
speakers on these important farm
questions were S. II. Goodwin, W. c.
Hobart, Fred Lucas, g. T. Tibbetts.
c. B. Gardner, p. w Libby. S. F. EN-
erson }. A. Labree, G.. H. Foster. Bros.
Ham, Stowe, Felker Frost, Hilton and
Chase. The majority of speakers be-
lieve farmers make a mistake in try
ing to cultivate too much land. That
a concentration of time and money on
fewer acres with a corresponding
larger value of products to the acre
would be more profitable. We learned
that noXious weeds can be DESTROYED
by thorough culture, that the cutaWay
harrow will cut up and bring to the
surface witch grass roots and finally
exterminate them and it was intima-
ed by one speaker that pasturing
with sheep would destroy the dreaded
orange hawk weed.
There were two most excellent
papers on housekeeping and home
life by Mrs. Jenny Tracy and Mrs.
Fred Lucas and Mrs. A L. Vining
Interesting remarks on the same and
other subjects by Mrs. Hilton and w.
c. Hobart; solos by Mrs. Parkman;
duet by Mr.. and Mrs. WILDER; recita-
tions by Mr.. Herrick and Mr.. Libby.
A class of seven was admitted into
the Pomona.
The thanks of the Pomona were
rendered to St Adams grange for the
splendid reception and entertainment
given.
