Doe. I. M... Chicago Fair Bond.


Mayor Grants opposition to the bill permit
ting savings banks to extend their field OF In
vestment to the securities Of other States Is as
strong as ever. 1t Is said that the bill would
permit the banks to invest In Chicago Fair
bonds.
The Mayor says he opposes the bill because
any relaxation of the restrictions under which
the banks now work would shake public CON-
fdence in them. These restrictions were i'm
posed. he says. after series Of disasters among
savings banks.
Savings banks have outgrown the distrust
which these failures engendered. and they
now enjoy the confidence Of the people. The
Mayor says in q letter to Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel Blandy:
''should the field in which savings banks
can now seek investment In municipal and
other securities be widened. according to the
provisions of this bill. 1t would be impossible
to continue to maintain such an excellent
market for our own bonds. A direct effect
upon the city's credit would result"
