CITY PAWNSHOP
To Be Opened Soon In Chicago.

CHICAGO, July 24--At a meeting
held at the Grand Pacific Hotel today
the final arrangements were made for
the early establishment and opening of
the proposed municipal pawnshop, "
which is to be operated under the pro-
visions of the municipal pawnshop act
passed by the last session of the legis-
lature.
A license has been obtained which
permits the company to loan money on
goods, chsttels, and savings bank
deposit books" The low rate OF inter-
est charged for such loans is expected
to greatly demoralize the business of
the regular pawnshops.
