Newsy Paragraphs of Official News
Gathered from Sundry
Sources.

The U. s. treasury department has adj
dressed letter to the territorial treas
urer's office requesting copies of the lat
est statements filed by the private bank
ing institutions of New Mexico. This is
the first time that such statements have
ever been called for from such source;

which the treasury department will issue.
The territorial law requires that all
banking institutions, other than those
organized under the national bank law,
shall file their reports twice year with
the territorial secretary, showing their
condition on January and July l. Only
the Roswell bank has complied with this
law, the latest reports from the other in

have to foot the bill between them, for
certainly Santa Fe county is in nowise re-
sponsible. .-
