MUNICIPAL INDEBTEDNESS.

To the Editor: Section A of Arti-
Gle XIII of the constitution of this
state divides the Indebtedness which
a municipal corporation may incur
into three classes:
l.. General Indebtedness for pUr-
poses authorized by law at not to ey-
coed 5 per cent of the assessed valua-
ton.
g. Special Indebtedness for sew
ers, sewage, irrigation and water for
domestic use, not exceeding Is per
cen of the assessed valuation.
8. Special Indebtedness for the
construction of street railways, cleo
trio lights or other lighting plants,
% per cent of tn" assessed Valua-
ton.
The assessed valuation OF this city
is $4,000, 900 and the city is permit
ted to incur a general Indebtedness
for city purposes, such as the cree
ton of municipal buildings, purchase
of parks and adornment of same and
other general purposes, 100000
for the construction of sewers,
water plants and for water for do
nestle purposes, $4O0 900; and for
the construction of street railways,
electric light and other lighting
plants, $720.000 in cities over
5000.
There is now outstanding sewer
bonds, first issue, $4,000. from the
fact of which we take the sinking
fund now on hand, $13 900, leaving
a net Indebtedness on these bonds II
$4,000, to which add the recent is
sue of $4,000, making a debt now
outstanding of $4,000.
Deduct this from the $2OO,OOO au-
thorized indebtedness and we see
that the city is now entitled to issue
bonds for general purposes TO the
amount of 1923, 600.
On the other hand, are these sew
er bonds to be taken into account
in estimating the total Indebtedness
of the city? They belong to class ,,
for which the city is permitted to in
cur a debt of $500, 900. Is it not
reasonable to presume that the PEG
pie in framing this constitution in
| tended that these three classes of in
debtedness were not to be lunches
up in estimating the Indebtedness OF
the city for any one of the three pur'
poses authorized by it? 1t is not fan
to presume that it was the intention
of the trainers of this constitution
that in estimating the debts of the
city they should be separated into
the three classes and only such a,
belong to a distinct class be takei

Pierre-The reports from all over
the state indicate a stronger demand
for leases of state lands than in any
former year. Leases in Hughes
county went as high as $l.75 per
acre, and a number of tracts were
leased up to a dollar an acre. Near
ly every county which has reported
shows practically every tract which
was open to lease as taken, and the
sales prices in all the counties show
that the appraised prices by the state
board are being raised by the bid.

Flandreau-After several months
negotiations the stockholders OF the
cooperative creamery have decided
to sell the creamery to a, new COM
pany composed or farmers OF the
Fiandreau territory. 1t is under
stood that the price to be paid for
the plant is $1,000. 1t is probable
the new owners will incorporate and
issue stock. The creamery is one OF
the best equipped institutions of it's
kind in this part of the state and the
business has been growing year by

were expected. One piece of $50
acres near Okreek, that had some i'm
provements, sold for $4,000. Other
quarters brought SIS to $40 per
acre. Exceptionally liberal terms
were offered, which in a measure ac-
counts for the high prices realized.
Rapid City-The cough of his
year-old child sleeping near him

the Rapid City fire department, tc

stroyed by flames. The shrieking
whistle of a locomotive gave the

thing but a small amount of furni-

valued at So, 500 and was totally de-

class. In other words, in estimating
the indebtedness of the city of Madi-

same engine pumps the water and
generates the electric current? And
in view of that fact would il not be
lawful for the city to issue bonds
belonging to class 2 for the purpose
of erecting a building to house it's
water plant and then issue bonds in

additional machinery and fully

If such were not the case, why
were these separate classes created

Seashore Is Popular
With Social Leaders
Summer Register Shows More
Prominent New Workers Are
at Ocean Resorts

The Summer Social Register, just
out. has some interesting statistics re-
garding the doings Of society. 1t shows
an increase Of some per cent in the
residences by the seashore slightly at
the expense Of the inland resorts,
doubtless attributable to the number
of families who are solving the servant
problem by closing their summer
homes and patronizing seashore hotels.
In spite OF the great number OF we'd
dings last month. there was marked
decrease in the number Of marriages
since April 1-b54-compared to 100
last spring, and 956 the season before.
There are 3,963 families at the sea-
shore as compared to 1896 last year
ard 6.032 living inland as compared to
G.Qel last season. The seashore resi-
dcnces are grouped as follows; South
shore of Long Island, $40; north shore

He drove up with Mrs. Rockefeller, and
after felicitating his brother they and
their party got in the two cars in wait
ing and started for Seal Harbor, Me.
They expect to make the trip in four
days. John D. will probably remain for
the summer If there are golf links
around.

men on the estate to-day, "he will be
back here in week"
William will be away only week or
ten days. joint Rockefeller, jr., and
his family will join them this week.
When asked where Mr.. Rockefeller
would stop for dinner one of the SER
wants said: "Mr. Rockefeller has to be
careful what he eats in public places,
SO he took along his lunch. He is very
strong for buttcrmilk and it is his
favorite drink" The idea the servant
gave was that the brothers were to
have picnic on the way.

evening. He closed his Eightieth

THE rocky road to Dublin must be O

pared TO tho general topography OF
South Street at present. The tunnel
Of the new Whitehall Montague Street
link of the subway system is being
constructed beneath it at present and
where the thoroughfare isn't torn up II
is filled with bumps and ruts.
And things are going 70 be worse be-
fore they are better, shopkeepers as

terminal Of the new barge canal at the
foot Of Cocnties Slip, and when this is
completed additional traffic will pour
through South Street, which at present
has quite all that it can handle. There
is little prospect that the subway ex-
cavation will be finished before the end
OF the year. -.

Murphy, of Troy, Says
He Is Out of Politics
.Special Correspondenct

ALBANY, July s.-Joseph j. Murphy,
Of Troy, Democratic leader of Rens-
selaer County. has retired from politics.
He so announced to-day in sending his
resignation as chairman of the execu-
tive committee Of the Rensselaer,
County Democratic Committee to
Chairman John p. Judge. He gave no
reason for his action, but il is known
that he resented the ousting of Super
intendent Of Public Buildings Thomas
II. McDonough, Of Troy, by Governor
Smith and the state building trustees.
McDonough was named on Murphy's
recommendation, and a row between
Murphy and Patrick +. McCabe. Demo-
cratic leader Of Albany County, re-
suited. McCabc claimed the position
for one Of his followers on the ground
that it had always gone to an Albany
County man.
Murphy is the son Of the late United
States Senator Edward Murphy, and
followed in the footsteps of his father
as the leader of the Rensselaer, County
Democrats. A short time ago he or
ganized the conference of upstate
Democrats TO wrest control of the state
Democracy from Tammany Hall. How
over, he supported Governor Smith in
the last gubernatorial campaign.
