TO TAKE POSITION IN BANK

George R. DeSaussure. bank examiner for the government, who is in Birming- ham, confirms the published reports that he has rendered his resignation to the comptroller of the currency, and wi!s leave the service on January 12. MT. De- Saussure was appointed by the comptroller under Mir Mckinley in 1898, and since that time has distinguished himself as one of the ablest men in that department of the government.
 While he did not care to discuss the matter at length, MT. DeSaussure said that he had resigned after a service of five years to accept the position of cashier of one of the largest banks in the south. Certain circumstances, he remarked, pre- vented him from disclosing the name or the institution with which he would be identified. He also said that he could give no information as to his future move ments now as he is still in the employ or the United States government.
 MT. DeSaussure has for number of years lived in Atlanta, and for long time was assistant cashier in the Atlanta National bank. He has been identified with the banking business practically all of his life and is considered an authority on theoretical as well as practical bank ing questions.

The petition is in the hands of T. H. Motion, who is agent for many of the property holders on Fifth avenue. He
The Birmingham age-herald., 1904-01-08

was seen yesterday afternoon concerning it, and said;
 Individually I am not opposed to hav- ing Fifth avenue paved nor do l believe that a majority of the people who I rep resented at the council meeting last night are opposed to paving this avenue with brick or asphaalt. They are all op- posed to bituminous macadam for the reasons set forth in the paper filed with sthe council
 Tt must be considered that this Is a very serious matter to the people who have to pay for the pavement. It will cost each and every one as much as many months income from the property. So far as I am concerned l would rather pay double the price for a pavement that is certain to wear and last well than to pay for an untried pavement such as bituminous macadam.
 City Engineer.
 City Engineer Kendrick was asked re- gardng the opposition paving Fifth ave- nue, and said:
 'I think all of the pavements are good, and my opinion is that the best thing to do is to leave it to the people of Fifth avenue to decide. I would like to see all the pavements tried in Birmingham, but I will always suggest that ten-year guarantee be required.
 Tt is well known that vitrified brick and asphalt have proven good pavements. and I have visited Nashville and found the bitumnous macadam has been sue cessful there. Nashville is laying miles of this new paving.
 q don't think that Fifth avenue will be paved at all for some time to come. For the past thirteen years this matter has been agitated regularly every year, and nothing has ever resulted"
 Chairman Stockmar. < Alderman stockmar was asked why ha was opposed to the pavement at the meeting of the mayor and board of as- dermen. He said:
 T am not opposed to the paving only I think that the. top layer should be made of harder rock so as to insure it's wear ing we'll and not crumb1ing A year and a half ago when it was first agitated tkey spoke of using granite, which is very hard and of volcanic formation. This has

Asset Currency.

He has written several widely read arr ticles on the currency question, and IS strong supporter of the asset currency theory. He believes that the currency system of the United States is open to vast improvement, and that by the intro- duction of asset currency business would receive a great impetus. According to this theory national banks should be given power to issue currency on their assets as security. In other words, the banks should have the same right as the govern ment to issue bank notes so long as the assets of the institution were sufficient to cover the issue.
 "IJnder this system,' said MT. De- Saussure. money could be issued in re- sponse to the call of business, and not necessarily in accordance with the ex- igencies of the government"
 MT, DeSaussure has given the subject deep thought for years and he says he believes when the people become educated to the idea it will be a great help to bus mess everywhere. It will give an oppor- tunity to avoid the hardships of tight money and will form the elastic currency so anxiously sought by students of polit- ical economy.
 Mir DeSaussure has Just completed an examination of the business of the First National bank of Birmingham. While his official position prevented him from dis cussing the result of his investigation, he says the First National does the largest business of any bank that he examines and that the Atlanta National bank or Atlanta is second. His territory includes practically all the southern territory ex- cept New Orleans.

Regrets His Resignation.

Banking men throughout the country express great regret at MT. DeSaussure's resignation, as he is considered not only an able examiner, but gives them valu- able suggestions that, when followed, prove profitable. w. w. Crawford, cash fer of the First National bank, while dis cussing the matter yesterday, said: MT. DeSaussure is one of the best informed bank experts I have ever met. l certainly deplore his resignation as he has been of great benefit to us by the valuable sug- gestiors he has made while looking into the affairs of our institution. He knows the banking business from top to bottom and when he gets through with our books and deposits you can certainly feel as- sured that he knows exactly what 1t go- ing on. He is undoubtedly the most rapid and best informed bank examiner l have ever met"
 As the position of bank examiner pays a good salary there are scores of appli- cations on file in the comptroller's office for the place. There are several Atlanta men after the position it having been un- derstood there that a Georgian would be appointed. The department announces that this s not true. however, and the plum may fall to an Alabamian. There are two or three applications on file from Birmingham men, and several from other cities in Alabama.

It surely must be accepted as q COM

able that it should be So If there was
prospect Of q Democratic victory at
the polls this year, what would be the
situation nowf Judging from past ex-
psrience there would be widespread
npprshenzion- While it is true the
Democrats could not in this election
obtain control of every branch of gov
eEnment, still the possession of the Ex-

not want q change should see to it that
there is none. The people know what
the Republican party intends to do and
can forecast the next two years and
