CITY DEBT LIMIT JUMPS.
set ~ 81 i.J73.7l9 -- aI2,OOO.OOO
over O,nst Year,

Compt roller Prcndcrgast notified the
Mayor yesterday that the ci,y's debt limit.
which means the amount available against
which the city may oblgate itself. was
$5l,313,749.62 on January 2 of this year.
At tho same time IA year ago the limit was
about $3.50, 900 900
The Comptroller SAYS that the 1873
:, 40 can be used for the following general
PURPOSES: Rapid transit. s2.lo9.s7e dock
Improvements, sl0.64I.24s. of which So.
$4,000 has been specifically authorized ,
for other municipal purposes, s22.otg,ls1.
leaving an unrcserved margin OF sl6579.-
GA 70 use as the Board OF Estimate secs
1T. For practical purposes therefore Mr..
prendergnst regards the last stated sun,
as representing the debt limit on Janu-
ary2
Mr.. Prendergast reports that the city's
estimated Indebtedness FOR land liability,
st2,59l, O4I, Is tho lowest in five years, al.
though property has been purchased for
the proposed court house site and civic
centre and other large purposes. But
there is contingent liability for lands to
be acquired. estimated at 100000
Tho Comptroller believes that when the
Department of Taxes and Assessments
makes its annual report on March 1 a
sufficient increase In the assessed value ci
taxable real estate will be shown to add
about s11.000.000 to tho ci,y's debt In
curing power From the Sinking Fund
revenues 100000 Is expected and ST.
100000 may he rescinded from the exist
ing authorizations OF corporate stock
So the Comptroller is confident tina, the
total amount available this year for any
purposes the Board of Estimate may de.
terininc will be s35,j79,634. In addt!o.
to this, the city Is to ask the Appellate
Division to exempt .3.o0O.o00 more OF
sefsustauing rapid transit bonds. whio.
would increase the total to s3s,5IQ,634.
"ln my Judgment says the Comp
troler. that sum should be ample for ad
vancing such new plans as are ab.olutely
essential"

the proposed increases. declaring that an
Affirmative decision in the case meant
much TO the people In small Western
towns who paid gas bills. lie stated that
if the commission approved the Increase
the state OF Iowa would at once bring
proceedings TO effect a reduction in the
rates.
Mr. Hendersons statement made some
thing of an impression. az It introduced
Il new angle into the rate proceedings.
Mr. Henderson said that the railroads had
not shown the necessity for the ncreas.

that the gas company @; Dubuque used
approximately $4,000 tons OF coal a year,
which was obtained from the rittsburs

Cesare Cont. banker. steamship agent.
president of the ltalo- american Stores.

signee, Mr. Conti's liabilities are $3.50, 900,
with assets Of 100000 Mr.. Conti's bank
ing house and steamship ticket offices are

was agent for troop transports, thus in

Ing this port.
Mr.. Ernst said that the american

creditor for $4,000. The individual de-
posts in the bank amounted to $50 900

about $4,000 with assets in excess of
that sum. He believes this company 10 be-
