LOAN MONEY ON REAL ESTATE.

A Washington dispatch yesterday
brings the very gratifying information
that the house committee on banking
and currency decided unanimously to
report favorably the bill of Represen-
tative Lewis, of Georgia, to permit
national banks to loan money on real
estate. The bill amends the present
law by eliminating the prohibition
against loans upon real estate and pro-
viding that national bank may loan
25 per cent of its capital upon good
real estate at so per cent of its conserv.
alive market value. This bill is de-.
signed to correct one of the evils of the
present law. Ever since the system
was established there has been this
ban upon real estate loans. Many
efforts have been made in the past to
secure this sort of change, but they
have failed. It is believed that this
change in the law will not only be of
great value to those whose holdings
are in land, but it will necessarily re-
suit in the enhancementof the value of
real estate. Mr.. Lewis is being warmly
congratulated by his colleagues for his
success in getting an unanimous report
from the banking and currency com
mittee, as there has not been nnanim-
ity in that committee upon any propo-
sition in good many years.
