Maryland has kept its mounting
| funded debt below the average in
! crease of all the States in the Union
since the United States entered the
| war in April, 1917. The average in
crease, as shown by a survey of all
| State debts compiled by the Bank OF
J America, of New York, has been
: about 100 per cent, but Maryland's
, debt has increased only about SO per
| cent.
The survey gives interesting data
! on the bond issues of all the States
! but it's usefulness for comparison is
/ somewhat impaired by reason of the
! fact that the reports for the various
! States do not bring the figures down
| to the same date. Several of them
report as of recent months of the
! present year, but the figures furnish
| ed by John M. Dennis, State Treasu-
rer for Maryland, come down only to
| September 30th of last year. Be
cause of this, the relatives position
| of Maryland among the debtor States
| given in the survey is not quite ac-
| curate, but it is impossible to say
| whether that position would be I'M
| proved or not if all the reports were
| brought to the same date.
The survey shows that in per
capita Indebtedness Maryland stood
! eleventh among the States, with a
per capita debt of $21.02. With the
exception of Delaware, it's per capita
debt was greater than that of any
| other State in the South Atlantic
| group. But its figures compare very
fayorably with Massachusetts per
capita debt of 1858 and with New
| York's of $3.50, to say nothing of
! that of South Dakota, the highest
with $75.02 and Oregon's $3.50.
California. Wyoming, Utah, Nevada
and Louisiana all have about the
same per capita obligations.
| In that ratio of net debt to the
assessed valuation of property Mary
land ranks tenth, just behind New
York and just ahead of Massa-
chusetts.,
4 y
this country entered the war was
about $21, 100000. At the date of
Mr.. Dennis report the total out
standing was $50, 900, but since
that time the State has sold bonds
aggregating $2,500,O00 which must
be added to the total, making at this
time $32,975O00. In other words,
since the country entered the war the
State has increased its Indebtedness
by only 100000, for a part of
the new bonds issued since then
were for refunding operations. As
an offset to the total debt, however,
the State holds securities in its sink
ing fund to the amount of nearly
$40, 100000, leaving it's net obliga-
lions only little over $19, 10000.
Among the States obligations are
some old bonds which probably never
will be presented for payment. These
include 1900 pounds sterling bonds
of the Sterling Loan of 1888, $50 of
the State Currency Loan of 1899 and
$500 of the same loan. 1t is note
worthy that practically the entire net
debt of the State is represented by
the $19,877,000 issued by building
highways, although bonds issued for
other purposes are outstanding. The
survey shows our States that have
no funded debt. These are Wfscon-
sin, Nebraska, Kansas and Ken
lucky.

There are number of prisoners In
Jail who have had the work sentence
imposed upon them. If the county
would do splendid piece
of road work with them they would
put the two county trucks to hauling
gravel for the Index road and let the
prisoners do the loading. BY putting
a covering of gravel, which can hand
lily had from little Coney creek, the
road would be good for travel for
wagons and machines all winter. 1t
would be the best paying investment
the county could make. The gravel
would not interfere with the future
