Shall Boston be made central re-
serve city is Il question of Immediate
import among the city's bank officials
at the present time. The Boston na,
tional banks are now allowed to keep
one-half of their % per cent. reserve
in New York, earning interest The
utterance of a prominent bank director
at the dinner of the Boston bank Off
cials the other day seemed to voice
the general sentiment of those as
sembled. He said that Boston banks
had been tied to New York long enough
and he should favor making Boston a
central reserve city in order that it may
take its proper standing in the tinan,
cial world. The idea is to make BoS-
ton more metropolitan. Should Bos-
ton become central reserve city, the
banks will be compelled to keep the
entire reserve in their own cash boxes.
The act of 1887 provides that when
ever three -fourths of the national banks
in city of 200, 900 inhabitants or
more shall petition the comptroller of
the treasury to that effect, that place
shall be made central reserve city.
The probabilities are that such Il step
will shortly be taken by the banks OF
Boston.

In Germany it is now proposed to
fix the age of electors at thirty, instead
of twenty-five years. This is a yindic,
tive thrust at woman suffrage, declares
the New York Mail and Express.
Femininity may admit to twenty-five
years, but with the limit at thirty it
is going to take tremendous sense OF
moral duty to drag it to the polls.

The plan embodied in the bill for
the creation of Greater Boston, which
was passed along by the Legislature
of 1897 to the present Legisl slature has
just been explained by Mr.. Osborne
Howes before the Chelsea board of
trade. Its terms are probably fair
ly well understood in and about Bos-
ton by this time. 1t does not propose
annexation, and it is gratifying that the
sentiment of Surrounding towns and cit
les was sharply enough in opposition to
such policy to prevent its consumma-
tion. But federation bycounty council,
leaving these various municipalities free
to control their own immediate affairs as
they now control them, is quite diff
ferent thing. The conditions now ex-
listing are all favorable to this move
ment. We have metropolitan parks.
metropolitan sewers, metropolitan
water system. We have advanced in
II somewhat piecemeal way quite dis
tance toward a realization of this idea
We are already experiencing some Of
iN0 d'iN ulltuStN. anu llpN tuOul inc DtNl
the proposed bill can do for us
Is to more comprehensively organ
ize and systematic these natural
movements and tendencies London
and New York have shown us what to
avoid as we'll as what to initiate and
adopt and we should be able to profit
by the lesson. Boston means II great
deal more today than simply city of
half n million inhabitants. That is
understood ut home, but it may be
and probably would be for our advan
tage to have it understood abroad.
County federation would give us more
comprehensive service and establish
our Importance more definitely before
the world.

The death roll of Boston for the
past year, as officially promulgated
from the health office, shows the city's
mortality rate for 1897 as the lowest
of recent years. The total number Of
deaths from all causes during the year
was II, 154, compared with II, 634 in
the previous year, showing death
rate of q. 0S to each thousand of the
city's population Of 52S, ,912. This is
not only the lowest rate for many

Within few days another horseless
fire engine will be put in commission
here. 1t is not likely that the general
public will see much of the engine, as
it will only respond to second alarms,
unless an alarm is sounded from an
other box while the other engine
at the house is out attending
fire. The chief says that
it was surprising to learn of the
great interest being shown in differ
ent parts of the country about these
horseess engines. Hardly a week
passes that he does not receive one or
more letters from different large cities
asking for description of the new
piece of apparatus, and in many cases
asking if he can supply a photograph.

"Boom Boston" appears to be the

ward advancing the best trade interests
of the Hub, along every possible
avenue 1t has decided to take up the
threads where the Boston Trade and
Transportation association left them
or rather it has determined to put in
to practical operation some of the pro-
gressive ideas advanced by the lat
ter organization, and further dis
cuss some of the vital ques-
tions that must affect the at
traction of trade this way. Boston
need not depend on any influence or
attraction other than those that exist
within her own business boundary
lines, and it remains with the Asso-
ciated Board of Trade, as well rs with
every business man within the city
limits, to do their best for Boston
along the lines in which they are able
to do their most telling work.
