Municipal Debts Amount to
Billion and Three-Quarters

WASHINGTON, July 2s.-The enormous
sum OF 81. us, 1900 is owed by the 15s cities
in the country having a population OF more
than 10000. The figures show net Indebted
ness and are given out by the census bur
ecu as a result Of its canvass for 1908.
The same authority finds that OF this
sum New York owes s6s4 900, 900 or almost
20 percent OF the aggregate. This is more
than seven times the amount Of the net
Indebtedness of any other city and more
than one-half OF the total amount owed
by the twenty-nine next largest cities in the
country.
II is also shown that OF the S275, ,O00 600
spent for Improvements in the l5s cities
in 1908, New York expended more than
tsS 10000, or nearly one-third the entire
sum. on the total debt increase for the

Boston, and $11S for Galveston. the other
cities making the nearest approach.
It IS pointed out that large proportion
OF the New York Improvement expenditures
have been for public service conveniences.
The betterment of the water system the
construction OF toll bridges and other self
supporting services are responsible for 81
per cent OF the total net debt of the
metropolis, OF the cities exceeding 300 OOO
population, Detroit has the smallest per
capita debt $26; but indianapolis falling
below 10000 makes a record with a debt
of only about sl7 20 the person. In the
