He rajr; The bill feeing lo have lsed the House under a nnsai'ireliensiin of itf true rcoi and i licet. In the report re-port f the committee on Terntorii. it is said that by the term" of the bill the county rccciccs lauds in payment of the money proposed to lie advanced. I n fact, the bill dcei not provide for a loan, to be secured by bonds, but fur a nilcription of stock.

But again the bill projioecs to s-us-Jiend lor this case the provision of the act of July W, 1Si, forbnlding rnuniciQl corjorations sulircribing to stock or loaning credit to other coriration. Also forbidding a corioratioii from creating a debt in excess of A ir cent of the taxable property at the last asjessment. This iiw was intenied to give the people of tlie Territories that protection against oppressive muuicipa! debts which was ecured to the people of most of tlie States by constitutional limitation. The wisdom of this legislation is not contended by the friends of the lull, but they claim that circumstances are so peculiar as to justify an except.! m. I do not think si. Only a belief that the limit is inflexible will pn mote care and economy in admiiiis'ratiou. Marirova County is one of great extent, ex-tent, and this great aria is to in-taxed in-taxed lo construct a road which can in tlie nature of things be of advantage advant-age to but a fraction of it There is no unity of advantage. It may very well be that tlie section of these lands along the line of road, especially ton 11 lots in I'lioenlx, would have an added value much greater than the increased burden imiioscd, but it is equally clear that much property in the country will receive uo apprccial ?e beutfits. The existing bonded indebtedness of Maricopa County Is $272,01. and tlie assessment about $5,000,000, and a imputation estimated at about IV 00 ). It w ill lie seen that tile landed land-ed debt, to say nothing of tlie lioat-iugdebt. lioat-iugdebt. which i said to be smaJI, is largely in t:CrS30K THE LIXIAL LIMIT, and it is proposed to increase It by a subecriitlon that will ci-rtaiulv Involve In-volve S2ij(.tKKI and prolaMy $250,-0K. $250,-0K. If the bill becomes a law the liondeil Indebtedness w ill very closely close-ly appruxiniHle li per cent, ol the as-i-ai valuation vt the property of the cMtnty. Theioiidlilon of tilings in tliccoun-tyof tliccoun-tyof Vesivai, lying immediately mirtli of Maririqa, and through which this road is also to run, hile nut directly aUWtnl by this legislation legis-lation is very instructive In this con-ucctloii. con-ucctloii.
