STATE DEBT OF CONNECGTICUT Reached High Water Mark of $7,110,000 in 1912 as Shown by Census Report—Per Capita was $6.12—This Amount Union. (Special to The Bulletin.) Washington, D, C., April 9, 1914— Preliminary figures from the forth- coming bulletin pertaining to national and state indebtedness and funds end investments have been given out by Director W. J. Harris, of the Bureau of the Census, Department of Com- merce. The bulletin carries informa- tion for the state of Connecticut, as well as for the other states and the United States. The data were com- piled under the supervision of John Lee Coulter, expert special agent in charge of the inquiry on wealth, debt and taxation. The bulletin, which will scon be is- sued, will contain statistics for each state for each year from 1890 to 1913, inclusive, as far. as statistics are avail- able, and will also contain details for the year most nearly corresponding to 1880, thus making it possible to show the general movement during a period of over 30 years. The bulletin will show the total debt’of the states as well as many details, such as the various classes of outstanding bonds and special debt obligations to pub- lic trust funds. It will also show the foating debt and its component parts. Under “Funds and Investments” will Dbe shown separately all the different fund d in each case cash and se- | curities will be shown. The popula- tion of the states for each vear under consideration will be used, and the per capita debt (less sinking fund as- sets) will be given, An inspection of the tables for Con- necticut in the bulletin soon to be is- sued shows a fluctuating bonded in- debtedn hich fell from $3,740,000 in 1890 $874,000 in 1908; in 1909 there was an issue of $1,000,000, the amount being increased with each vear until 1912, when the state had outstanding bonds amounting to $7,- 064,000. The floating debt was small and fluctuated slightly until 1910, when i it increased to $1,456,000, but decreased again to $46,000 in 1912, In the case of funds and investments the securities show but little change throughout the period, being $2,121,000 in 1890 and $2,022,000 in 1912, while the cash naturally fluctuated more or less from_ year to year from a mini- mum of $235,000 in 1909 to a maximum of $2,424,000 in 1912. No sinking fund ets, as such, are found in Connecti- cut, thus leaving the debt less sink- Ing' fund sssets the same as the total ebt. The per capita debt of the state fol- lowed the fluctuatlons of the total debt but was appreciably reduced by the steady increase in population. In 1880 the total debt of Connecticut at the close of the fiscal year, Sep- tember. 30, was_$4,968,000; ten’ years later it was $3,761,000; in 1908 it fell to $924,000; and by 1912 had increased again to $7,110,000. The population of the state increased from 623,000 in 1880 to 1,161,000 in 1912, thus bringing about a lower per capita debt than the total indebtedness would indicate. In 1880 the per capita debt amounted to $7.88; in 1890 it was $6.64; in 1907 it had Dbeen reduced to $0.86; but in 1912 it had increased to $6.12. In contrast with the state of Con- necticut, we find that, taking the en- tire debt (less sinking fund assets) for the 48 states, the per capita, accord- ing to the latest report, is or slightly more than half of the per cap- ita’ debt of Connecticut. While the per capita debt for Connecticut in 1912 ‘was nearly twice as great as the aver- age per capita debt for the 48 states the ratio of reduction for the 30-yea period was practically the same: In Connecticut, § in the to $3.52. At the present time about 1.2 per cent. of the total population of the United States will be found in the state of Connecticut, and 2.1 per cent of the total .debt (less sinking fund assets) is attributed to that state.
