Excerpt from Vested Wrongs
It is now nearly twenty-five years ago since I first took up the fiscal problems relating to our states, counties and municipalities, and twenty years since I was called upon by the United States Government to write a history of the debt of each state of the Union, and prepare a report on the wealth, debt and taxation of our cities and towns. The result of those inquiries may be found in Volume VII. of the Tenth Census [1880]. Soon after the war a craze set in for municipal improvements, similar to the present epidemic for owning and operating public utilities, and as a result local indebtedness and taxes had increased so rapidly that in many instances the burden upon the taxpayers became almost unbearable, and in some important cities repudiation was publicly advocated.
