Regarding the premium account Mr..
Written says; st is a question in my
mind whether some of our institutions are
giving the reduction of their premium ac-
count quite the consideration it should re-
eeive. While premium account seems to
be a necessary evil in many instances, a
large pre MUM account standing among the
resources of a bank is not an element of
strength and should be eliminated As rapid
ly as the prof, account will allow. A pro-
portionate amount, at least. of premiums
paid on investments, should be charged off
each dividend period, together with the ex-
pense account, and the amount carried TO
the reserve fund, before the dividend is de-
ciared, so that when the security natures
on which the premium was paid, that por-
ton Of the premium account has been ex-
tinguished."

which is such a notable contribution TO the
literature of that subject, as to reflect
the greatest credit upon its author
and the work of the board IN
general. IL is not too much 10 say
that It Is an epoch-marking paper and has
been hailed with delight by sanitarians all
over the world. as shown by letters received
in aeknow ledgment Of copies. II was with
some difficulty that DR.. Young was pre-
vailed upon to allow of their publication,
and as il was, some were withheli as of too
private nature. But when public officer

due to all tina, ii be as widely known AZ pos
