In 1911 the bonded Indebtedness of
the state, county, and city govern
ments in California, says the TaXpay-
ers' Journal, was $93 ,906,42 $500. On
June 80, 1918, it had risen to $780,
333333 333333 ,969.0O.
In the seven years from June 30,
1911, to June 80, 1918, the bonded
Indebtedness increased $145,4 APT, 545
or 154.S6 per cent. During this period
the per capita of bonded indebted
ness increased from $37.76 to S76.72
for each man, woman and child re-
siding in California in 1918, an in
crease of 1886 or 1O3.17 per cent.
TIE increase in the population OF
California during the seven years
mentioned above has been approxi-
mately 25.4 per cent; therefore, in
amount the percentage of our bonded
Indebtedness has increased over six
times that of our population, while
the increase in the per capita of our
bonded Indebtedness has been four
times the percentage of our increase
in population.
