LOS ANGELES HERALD: MONDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 13, 1893.
MUNICIPAL BOND SECURITIES.
Technical Errors Should Not
Be Basis for Evasion,
Some Defects Said to Exist in the
Street Improvement Act.
Points flneseateil by a Paper Whioli
Will Be of Interest to Kverjr
Class of Citizens In
Municipalities.
Mr. Childreaa, the well known banker,
ie the author of tbe following paper,
which advances some arguments worthy
of consideration:
Municipal bonds, to tbe city, town or
village, Berve aa the handmaidens of
necessaries, comforts, and even luxuries
to the home of the inhabitants, whether
they be rich or poor, princes or paupers.
Without the aid of capital secured by
the combined promise to pay of a com
munity or municipality, there is no ave
nue open for obtaining tbe necessary
funds ior building city halls, school
houses, water and sewer systems, etc.,
except by excessive and burdensome
taxation, or when provided by private
corporations solely for gain and profit.
Municipal bonds were originated and
are issued for the purpose of furnishing
capital to be invested by the people and
for the people for public works to be
operated for their benefit and either in
tellectually or physically, and without
the payment or emolument or profit to
private or corporate investors, the debt
and obligation created by their issue to
be provided for by the gradual accumu
lation of a sinking fund within a long or
the requisite term of years, so that their
liquidation will not work a hardship
upon the taxpayers oi the municipality.
State laws should, and, as a rule, do
limit the amount of municipal debt, so
that no undue burden will be imposed
upon the taxpayers out of proportion to
the size or number of inhabitants of the
municipality and its corresponding abil
ity to pay without distress or confisca
tion of property.
With thia most vital and essential re
quirement and other safeguards, among
them freedom from machine politics
and economical administration of af
faire, I lay down as an undebatable
proposition that it ia wisest and beat for
municipalities to own and control their
water system, their gas and electric
plants, etc., rather than have their tax
payers and people submitted to the ar
bitrary and eometimea extortionate
chargea of privatelcorporations for the
use of such necessities. To acquire
Buchownerabip it ia requisite to issue
bonds with the credit of the people as
security.
Municipal bonda are generally issued
spanning one or two generations of
time so that the taxpayers of today are
not wholly burdened with the debt for
permanent and needed improvements,
which will be equally enjoyed by their
heirs or asaigna long after they have
quitted this "vale of tears."
They are in universal favor as a means
of safe investment by capitalists, sav
ings banks and investors generally, and
frequently constitute the basis of secur
ity by way ol pledge for loana by finan
cial institutions, but the same can be
said of this class of securities as ia true
of other classes of paper obligations,
they are not always what they seem.
Litigation is constantly going uu, aud
numerous cases could be cited where
tbe purchasers in good faith and owners
of municipal bonds, in seeking to en
force payment of coupon or principal,
have been met with some defense, con
stituting a hidden defect, which has
prevailed and barred recovery. This
has become so frequent and losses of
large sums of money incurred from these
causes tbat investors are becoming more
cautious, and challenge every issue of
municipal bonds by closest legal scrutiny
before offering to purchase. Such a
state of affairs should come to a speedy
end by constitutional enactment to the
effect that the issuance and sale of a
municipal bond is absolute evidence of
constitutionality and regularity and that
no technical defense can be availed of.
The money of the investor should not
be lost or even jeopardized, for it is
given as a quid pro quo, and any techni
cal defense tto avoid payment iB a vir
tual and real repudiation of an honest
debt.'
Municipal bonds should always be
authorized aud issued to procure funds
for the construction of public works or
the furtherance of enterprises which
will materially redound to the benefit,
advancement and prosperity or eleva
tion of the people, and for this reason
they should he a direct obligation or
promise of the people to pay without
discount or evasion of payment by tbe
plea of irregularity of issue or the inter
position of any plea or defense looking
to repudiation, and should be non-tax
able and incontestable.
Stringent laws should be enacted and
enforced making municipal bonds, and
all public bonds for that matter, the
same as private obligations to pay not
defensible or payment evaded except on
the grounds of fraud or failure of con
sideration. Defense or repudiation by
reason of not strict compliance or con
formity with technic* 1 requirements of
issue should not be tolerated or availed
of. A municipality should never lend
itaelf ao a quasi endorser or collector of
any species of bonds. If connected in
any way with tbe issue of a bond in
tended for the public weal, it should be
unequivocally, as the direct obligor, and
not assist in the creation of a debt
against its own people, which from a
theoretical standpoint looks to their
benefit, without incurring any financial
responsibility for its liquidation or pay
ment. Its intention may be ever so
good, proceeding on the theory that its
action will inure to the material benefit
and welfare of its inhabitants, but the
contrary effect may be produced upon
the practical application of tbe scheme,
and instead of a benefit a serious injury
may result. Tho city of Los Angeles is
confronted today with the pernicious
effects of a seemiagly highly advantage
ous law, which it not only assisted to
enact but with which it is inextricably
bound up in the enforcement and which
has resulted in the actual confiscation of
property instead of beautifying and
rendeiing it more valuable to tbe owner,
as was intended.
I refer to the street improvement bond
act, which, with the irrigation bond
law, is another apt illustration of the
frequent inability to put a good theory
into practice. The law was formulated
and enacted to enable the streets of Cal
ifornia towns and cities to be improved
by paving or grading withont putting
tbe burden of immediate cash payment
on the property owners. As you are
doubtless aware, tbe act provides for the
issuance of a 1.0-year bond under the
A record of uninterrupted cures for nearly
half a century has convinced sensible people

you have what yon need? It is infallible.

direction of the municipality, permitting
or requiring 10 per cent of the principal
to be paid annually during its lifetime.
The municipality is not only burdened
with the issue of the bond, but its duty
extends to the collection of the princi
pal and interest, and the sale of the
property securing the payment in case
of default. It lends itself to the
transaction in every conceivable
way except as guarantor, while the real
security back of the bond is a first lien
(even prior to taxes and all existing en
cumbrances) on the property fronting
on the street to be graded or paved.
The weaknesses of the proposed benefi
cent act became apparent when put into
practical execution. In the first place
the city not guaranteeing or being re
sponsible for the bond, it has to find its
way slowly in the bond markets and,
until it becomes known and established
as a desirable security, the property
owner will have to pay for the discount,
for like the operation of the mortgage
tax law, the extra coet attaches to the
very person sought to be benefited.
In other words, no universal market
having been created for the bond the con
tractor in bidding for the work to be
done has to allow a liberal margin in
bis estimates to provide against the dis
count he will have to make in order to
sell the bond. And, besides, the act
provides that the endorsement of the
annual one-tenth payment on the bond
has to be made by the city treasurer, at
his office, which is an effectual bar
against the negotiation of the securities
in tbe money markets of the eastern
cities and Europe (where cheap money
abounds and seeks investments), for the
reason that the return of the bonds here
annually for endorsement of the one
tenth payment is a nuisance, and the
cost of tranemiseion would really more
than absorb the profit of discount and
higher rate of interest, contemplated by
the investment. Hence for these
two reasons alone the city has
lent itself to an imposition upon
its own taxpayers and inhabitants,
which not only indicts a grevious tax on
property owners and impairs the securi
ty of existing mortgagee, but in many
cases already has amounted to a confis
cation of property, whereas if it would is
sue its own bond when its limit of in
debtedness is not reached, or in that
event guarantee the street improvement
bonds, it would save property ownerß
the difference between 5 per cent and
8 per cent, or 3 per cent net per annum
in interest charge, and by reason of its
own bond being largely sought after and
marketable at a premium would Bave
for them from 15 per cent to 40 per cent
on estimates of tbe contractor. I refer
to the practical operations of the
street improvement bonds as a living
demonstration of the truth of my prop
osition that a municipality should
never lend itself to the creation of a
bonded debt against its own people ex
cept that it assumes the responsibility
ot diroofc pftyxnent AithAr AH makfir Ctr
guarantor, for, as in this instance, there
is danger of indicting at; injury instead
of conferring a benefit.
Without going into dry figures or sta
tistics I can safely assert that municipal
bonds are now among the most desirable
securities for investors and will be more
co when tbe following cardinal princi
ples are observed in their issue: First,
when they are regularly and legally
authorized and made non-taxable and
incontestible except on the grounds of
fraud or consideration; and
second, when the amount ot the debt ia
limited to the eize and taxable wealth
of the municipality so that there can be
no failure or inability to pay.
A Ban Frauclsco Carlo.
It ia a strange fact that the silver-lead
ores of InyS county are cent to Oregon
for reduction. The ore passes through
San Francisco, being conveyed from
there by water to its destination. And
thia, too, although the oldest and most
extensive reduction worka on the
coaat are at San Francisco. It cannot fail
to Btrike anyone as curious that thia ore
should be carried ao much farther, and
be handled eeveral timee, ahd yet the
miners get better returns than at San
Francisco, but such ie the fact. Per
haps there are other facta in connection
with bUßiness at San Francisco just as
curious as this; and another thought
occurs here, namely, that if the busi
ness men of that city would give more
time to study of business conditions and
principles, and deal in a more liberal
spirit, perhaps they would have lees oc
casion to bewail their loss of business
and leas time to devote to tbat very un
profitable indulgence.—[lnyo Independ

Miss Homans, the head of the Normal

in a recent interview these statistias con

dress. "Two years ago," she says, "out
of a class of thirty-seven there were but
two of tlie young women at the end of
the school year who continued to wear

THE LOYAL LEGION.
Celebration of the Eight y-fonrtU Birth
day of Abraham Lincoln.
The announcement of memorial exer-
ciaes at the Methodist church, last
night, in commemoration of the birth
day of Abraham Lincoln, was sufficient
to crowd the interior of that roomy edi
fice in every available nook and corner.
The always large choir waa reinforced
for the occasion, and the members of
the Loyal Legion turned out in full
force, ac might have been expected on
an occasion of this sort. After the or
gan voluntary and an impressive prayer
by Key. Mr. Campbell, the choir Bang a
hymn, and Capt. Seamans made the ad
dress of welcome, substantially aa fol
lows :
It waß thought fitting and proper by
the members of the Southern California
Aeeociation of the Military Order of the
Loyal Legion of the United States to ob
serve in some appropriate way, this
eighty-fourth anniversary of the birth
day of Abraham Lincoln.
The association under whose auspices
theae services are held is composed of
officers of the ai my and navy and ma
rine corps of tho United States who
served during the war for the restora
tion of the union. You have bsen in
vited here to participate with us in com
memorating thia anniversary by listen
ing to an address upon the life and char
acter of the martyr presidedt, by Com
panion J. A. Donnell, whom I now have
tbe pleasure of introducing to you.
Major Donnell then delivered an ora
tion, about one-third of which was a
terse and well-drawn word picture of the
grand old prairie giant's early life and
his hard struggleß with poverty. This
brought the orator down to the great po
litical etruggle of 1860, and thence he
followed the career of tbe poor boy of
the Muldraugh hills down to the end of
his eventful life. Aa a literary produc
