Sound Institutions and Sketches

Although Warrington IL not known to the
world as great commercial city its dignity as
the seat Of the national government and its
fame as a city Of wonderful beauty overshadow-
ing all other claims to distinction-nevertheles
1t has many financial institutions possessing a
credit and conducted on scale that will not
suffer by comparison with similar institutions
In cities that are rated as great money centers.
Washington is especially fortunate in having a
good number of banks skiifully and prudently
managed, towers Of financial strength in the
business community whose operations have al
ways tended toward the encouragement Of all
that is good and wholesome in the growth Of
the city and to the stimulation Of beneficial en-
tsrprises. The continued prosperity of these
banks and the healthful increase in the amount
Of their deposits give evidence not only of the
confidence reposed in them by the public but
also of the steady growth of the capital. OF
some of these banks and the men who direct
them sketches have already appeared in The

leading banking institutions Of the city and Of

proves Mr.. Tanners administration of the PEN
sion Office, denies that he has ever sought a
rerating, and declines to accept the money
until q medical board has examined him and
reported that he should be granted the in
creased pension with arrearages. The letter
concludes:

ton for such increase, but YOU have seen fit to
take up my case without my knowledge and,

before i can execute the voucher re-
