No data are available to show the

the territory from which they have
been formed, in 1865, but in 1870 the
indebtedness Of the tsate govern
ments, less sinking fund assets, was
1882 ,S66,G9S, or $9.15 per capita The
indebtedness of the state govern
ments decreased in somewhat the
same proportion as the Indebtedness
OF the national government, and ir
1880, the per capita debt for the 48
state governments was $5.48. Ten
years later 1890) this had been re-
duced to $3.37 Further fluctuations
during the last 20 years brought the
percapita down to $2.G7 in 1909, the
lowest amount shown in the period
covered. Since 1909 there has ben
some increase, the per capita debt
for the 48 state governments being
1857 on June 80, 1913.
Although there is net decrease
during the period covered in the ac-
tual outstanding Indebtedness, the
material part Of the decrease in per
capita debt, both for the national
government and the 48 state govern
ments, is due to the very material
Increase in population, amounting to
1888 per cent in that period named
Considering the total debt for the
national government and the Al state
governments, the total amount out
standing decreased from $2,G84 ,O3G,-
654 in 1o.J to $1,374 10G,3GO in 1913,
decrease Of almost 80 per cent. In
contrast, the per capita debt decreas-
ed from $59G1 in 1870 TO $1415 in
1913 (almost so per cent?, the lowest
point reached being in 1907, when it
amounted TO $12.74.
The flgurcs in the report show that
Arizona and Massachusetts are the
only states where the state debt. less
sinking fund assets, amounts to more
per capita than $10.59. the per capita
debt for the United States The debt

while other states show very low
per capita debt, for Oregon it being
only $0.04 for Kansas, $0.14; for

 Though the telephone company had reports oE no extre reme weather in suI- rounding towns. little damage was
 done to the wires yesterday and ser vice was not interrupted.
 Although it was reported about the streets Of Bridgeport today that the thermometer had been below zero. no confirmation could be obtained at es- abolished recording points Lymanss recording thermometer showed that the nearest to the zero point had been reached shortly be- fore a. na.. when that instrument recorded degrees above. At mid night it was fl above and at 2 p. m. today. between 1-2 and 5.
 At the police lieaduuarteEs no official said thatsg3 below had been recorded early today.
 Fairfield reported T degrees ahoFe early this morning with a rise of one degree by Il o'clock.
 Stratford reported about degrees above as the maxiLnum drop. Yesterdays storm at Fairfield not only blew down one barn belonging to John Heffenor, but many of the bath houses along the sound. Today's cold Isnap froze not only fire hydrants but caused untold damage and inconveni-
 
 steam pipes were frozen overnight.
 John Boyle and Fred Maiberg, ore of the oldest settlers at Fairfield, were last night able to walk to Penf1e1d reef and also to the Spindle It is said that this has never before been accomplished at high tide.
 Clam diggers made a harvest which is likely to result in some depres- sion Of prices in the local market Beds were uncovered by the lack of tide, which have never before been dug. Henry F. Burr uncovered what is believed to be the father of claims, a biva1ve weighing IS ounces and ex- tending almost 10 inches in length at it's furtheSt extremities
 At Milford the thermometer was reported as 4 degrees above zero at it's lowest point this morning. Little damage to hydrants pipes was not ed, though a fire which started last night in the teeth of the fierce gale gutted the Hurd residence, with dam- age estimated between $500 and $1,- 900. That the flames did not spread is attributed to the prompt res ponse of the department A furious wind blew at that point all night and con tinues to day.
 The fierce wind which accompanied by furry of snow swept through Stratford between 12 and 1 o'clock yesterday, uprooted a huge elm tree in front of the home of Charles w Wales, Putney hill. The tree was at. that point In falling it struck another tall elm and carried away a portion of it's top. Other trees were reported thrown down in Stratfor,d and Fairfield as well as conafderabl damage to barns and chimneys.

HEAL. HI BOARD
 PLANS ID ORGANIZE |AT SESSION TONIGHT
Mayor Summons Members to Meet at Home of
 Fred D. Ives
Efficient Clerk and Inspect or of Board, D. W. Lynch,
 Candidate for Reelection

Tonight at the home of Fred D. Ives, the hold-over Republican member. the board of health is to meet for the purpose of organization. MT. Ives Is a candidate for the presidency and 1t is understood that he has the back ing of the administration. The prin- cipal business is the election of a clerk whose duties also comprise the investigation of complaints received at the department. The occupant of this office, David w. Lynch, seeks re- election upon his record and it is no idle boast to say that MT. Lynch had proved to be one of the most capable officials this department ever had. If the much boasted efficiency plans Of the present administration were to be taken seriously MT. Lynch would have the unanimous support of the board for reelection.
 The effort to .sget him. repr esents the cheapest kind of politics and is inspired partly by revenge and part ly because one of the administra- tion's henchmen has been promised a job. The new health commissioners are pr. F. W. Stevens and Edward A. Lambert. The Democratic ho1dover is Louis Schwerdt1e, now a member of the school board. Mir. Lambert is the other Democratic member. The reason the meeting has been called for the home of MT. Ives is because the latter has been ill.
