T HE war years have been prosperous years for our cities. There is nothing new about that. War years throughout our history have been years of stimulated economic activity. Our cities, one and all, have shared in this prosperity. Many of them have quite recovered from the financial ifipairment which the depression brought. Municipalities are generally required by law to amortize their indebtedness Others do so because it is the soundest fiscal practice. In the war years, what with the shortage of labor and materials and the restrictions imposed by the War Production Board, new capital outlays have been reduced to a minimum. Most cities have emerged from the war with an indebtedness at least 10 per cent less than they had four years ago. Many have reduced their debt by 20 per cent or more. Except for a few which have been overstimulated by airplane manufacture or shipbuilding, they face the future with considerable confidence
