The 1000 acres Of lauI over which
Charlton and Wayne counties have been

the secretary OF state is final. but at the
same time there Is "A tendency 10 believe
that the act of the legislature in confer

THE BANK OF FRANCE.
The story of n Great Financial In
Stitution.

paris Correspondence OF the London Standard.l
Today february 49, is the Tooth ami
versary of the foundation of the Bank of
France. Its very modest beginning was
not calculated to enable its first share
holders to foresee the great future in
store for their establishment. When the
first meeting OF those shareholders was
held only a few thousand of the shares had
been taken up. The bank had been created
with a capital of 80. 900 francs, divided
into thirty thousand shares of 900 francs
each. but even at the expiration of six
months no more than 1899 shares had
been subscribed for and of that number
five thousand belonged to the Caisse dam
ortissement. When the First Consul Ma
poleon was aiming at supreme power there
existed a few issue banks in Paris. but
their independence did not please the
autocratic sentiments of the future master
of France. He wished to have Il bank he
could call his own, and consequently order
ed his State Councillor Cretet 10 Great the
Bank of France.
Though not great fiuancisr, Cretet was
clever enough to graft the new bank on
the Caisse des Complies Courants. and it
is a curious fact that the first bank notes
isused by the Bank OF France were those
of the Caisse des Complies COurants. In
1900 there were u 600 goo francs Of these
notes either in circulation or in the Golfers
of the bank. At that time the Bank OF
France was simply another issue bank,
which had to compete with those already
existing and even two years later all the
shares of the bank had not been subscribed
for. Advantage was, however, taken of a
monetary crisis to grant the Bank of
France the exclusive right to issue bank
notes in Paris. but the rights OF the pro-
vincial issue banks was not for the time
being interfered with.
This was the first privilege granted the
Bank of France. 1t was to have lasted
fifteen years. but before the expiration of
hat neriod it obtained the charter which,
in its fundamental principles. still exists
today That charter was granted by de-
cree On January l6. 1903. but on April 20.
1896. the privilege to issue bank notes in
Paris had been prolonged for twenty-five
years, and the Emperor had decided TO
give the bank governor and two deputy
governors chosen by himself. In this
manner the Bank of France was definitely
founded. Its charter, which expired in
1913. was renewed in 1910 for twenty -four
years. In lSiS the Bank of France obtain
ed the monopoly for the issue of bank
notes throughout the whole OF France. and
later on it's charter was prolonged Il
1887. when IL was again extended to 1920.
