Financial Neasure, TO Be
Submitted at Extra Session,
Practically Completed at
Hot Springs Conference.
ePoDfdes ior Deposit of Gas
toms Receipts in Banks
and acceptance Of Other
lban Government Bonds
as Security.

At the recent conference at Hot
Springs, Va, between Senators AIdrich.
Allison, and Spooner. members of the
subcommittee OF the Senate Finance
Committee appointed to consider needed
financial legislation, new Aldricb
financial bill was agreed upon. to be
submitted at an extra session of Con-
gress.
Future meetings were arranged for, at
vhich final agreement on minor details
anG phraseology is expected.
AS now outlined, the new bill does
not differ materially from the original
AldTich measure IN the provisions re-
Iating to the deposit of public moneys
IN the national banks, and the charac-
ter of security to be given by them TO
insure its safekeeping.
Customs Receipts in Banks.
The main feature of the old bill is
retained, which was the granting of au-
thority to deposit the surplus customs
receipts. as wei as those from inter
nal revenue. in the banks Under the
present law. the customs receipts
must be paid into the Treasury. and
can only be paid out again to meet cur
rent expenses. 1t is this constant ac-
cumulation OF money IN the Treasury
that has been held mainly responsible
for The periodical stringencies in the
money market which it is the purpose
of the Aldrich bill to crevent.
Any national bank whose financial
condition is good may be designated as
a depository for part of these Govern
ment funds, but limit is to be placed.
so that no one bank shall get more
than its proportionate share. This is 10
prevent any Secretary of the Treasury
from savoring any particular bank. Just
what that limit viii be is one OF. the
details not definitely settled.
Security for Deposits.
AS security for the deposits the banks
Will be required to furnish Government
bonds. and, to a certain extent. State,
municipal. and railroad bonds of the
highest class. which have not failed TO.
pay regular dividends during the last ten
years. will be accepted.
new feature will be that banks will
re allowed to take out circulation to the
fur mu ket value OF the Government
bonds they have on deposit at the
Treasury. If this were now authorized,
The increased circulation on the bonds
Tow held by the Treasury Department
for the banks, based on the current mar
ket quotations, would amount to about
S2z, 600 600, which in itself would De
great help
That the new bill will be passed early
in the coming session of Congress, no
doubt IS entertained.

FOR A MUTUAL FIRE
INSURANCE COMPANY
Plan to Establish One to
Protect Water Front.
BALTIMORE IS INCLUDED
Promoters Purpose to Form Such In
corporation Among Capitalists of
Two Cities in the Near Future.

The advantage and practicabiIity of a
mutual fire insurance company among
property holders in the ports Of WASH
ington and Baltimore has been given
some consideration since the burning of
the ferryboat Columbia Should the
proposition take actual shape it would
receive the support of 4 number of those
holding interests along the river front
There is little likelihood. however, that
the companies will get together and or
ganize, for the present at least
The chief reason for establishing such
a company would be the reduction of pre-
miums. Owing 10 the great risk OF de-
atruction of floating property. the pol
icyholders are compelled to pay exorbi-
tant rates-a fact that takes no little
part in the size of the yearly earnings.
The cost of maintenance is increased
materially. for it is obviously necessary
that the properties be insured TO their
full value.
Not Properly Rated.
another important consideration in
connection with the scheme lies in the
complaint OF steamboat companies that
floating stock is not generally rated in
accordance with its real value. From
icnG experience they have learned that
agents invariably place a higher pre-
MUM on old craft. while in reality they
do not burn as quickly as those fresh
from the hands of the shipbuilders. This
does not include, however, the class of
vessels SO antiquated that they become
known as hacks
The ports OF Washington and Bditi-
more could organize an insurance COM
pany with no difficulty. Millions OF
dollars in shipping are represented in
the two harbors.
To Reduce Premiums.
great advantage of such company
would be the accurate rating of each
vessel. Even though some premiums
might be increased, under this plan, the
consensus of opinion points TO a general
reduction of rates Thus the feasibility
of the proposition is amply established
although there is no indication that the
talked-of company Will be formed at
present.
