lures for current expenses by $lS9..
29.746. an amount equivalent to some
what more than half their outlays.
The net indebtedness (funded and
floating debt less assets in general
sinking funds) for the entire 2l3 cities
amounted to S2.473.103 6Sl, or 1864
per capita. The corresponding figure
for the federol government is $685..
2l9, or S9.77 per capita. This the
per capita Indebtedness of the cities
of over 10000 is nearly eight times
as great as that of the national gov.
ernment. The net increase during
the fiscal year for all the cities taken
as a group. S106,77O,1O was consid
erably less than the corresponding
increase during the preceding fiscal
year in the 204 cities covered by the
report for that year, which amounted
to Sl42,731, 1874.
These figures, as well as those for
receipts and expenditures, indicate n
perceptible slackening in the rate at
which American municipalities have
been living beyond thier incomes. al
though the practice of mortgaGing the
future has by no means been brought
TO a halt.
The net indebtedness of New York
City alone, 1851. 1.O6O,754. is more than
thTee.fifths as gcat as the total for
all other cities of over 10000 taken
