A census bulletin relative to the
financial condition of counties in
the United States gives some in
teresting statistics concerning the
indebtedness of the counties _ of
Georgia.. Georgia connties are
better off than those of any other
southern state except Louisiana.
That state has the greatest decrease
in county indebtedness in the last
ten years, and Kentucky the least,
while Texas shows alarge increase.
The figures for Georgia are eon-
Biderably larger than those of ten
years ago. North Carolina stands
last on the list of percentages of
increase, showing an advance of 6
per cent In 1880 Kentucky held
first place as to the amount of
bonded debt recorded from the
counties; in1890 Texas holds the
most prominent position, with a
bonded debt of $6,166,072. Geor
gia had the smallest bonded debt
in 1880, but this position has been
accorded to Louisiana for 1890.
The totals show an increase of 15
per cent, in the bonded debt of the
south ernstates as a geographical
group. There has been an increase
■ of eighty-three counties in these
states during the past ten years,
sixty-six of . them being in Texas.

There are 2,728 counties in the

bonded indebtedness is $130,734,-

would-be an average debt of $48,-
