NEW FLAN HIT UPON
FOR CITY FINANCING
WASHINGTON, Oct. 15. A deci
sion which may establish a prece
dent in municipal financial arrange
ments was handed down by the treas
ury department officials in a contro
. erby over a provision in the Aldrich
Vieolund curency law, upon which
ei ports differed.
The law provides that emergency
currency be issued by nationul banks
on the hecurity of bond of a munici
pality or district "whose I'liuied In
debtedness does not ox-cud 10 por
cent of the valuation of It taxable
property, to bo ascertained by the
h.st proc'd)!,; valuatio : or' property
for taxation.
The problem concerned the defini
tion of "not funded indebtedness"
and "vuluation of its taxable prop
erty," The treasury decision is:
"The phrase, 'not funded indebt
edness trensurer holds toi mean the
ontire bonded debt 'of a municipal
ity, less any bonds not yot scld, or
any bonds purchased and not can
celled, us for sinking fund nccounl.
"The phrase 'valuation of its tax
able property' is construed to mean
the valuation of taxable properly as
estimated by the assessor. Where
the law prescribes that the assessors
shall estimato the value of all prop
erty subject to taxation at its ac
tual value and that tho taxes shall
bo assessed at a fraction of such
value, tho valuation of taxable prop
erty is understood to menu tho ac
tual valuation estimated by tho as
sessors. Where, howovor, tho law
makes no distillation between actual)
and tnxablo value of property, tho
'valuation of Inxnblo property' is
construed to menu tho taxable valuo
upon whiclf tho actual taxes nro levied,"
