OF money lending on household goods
OF any description and the pledgtng q
wages or salaries for advances Of

/ This business needs regulating, and
il Mr.. Ayery's bill is enacted into Law
II will be so regulated that few can en-
j! gage in il at all. and those who dc
! engage in ii will have to content them
selves with a reasonable rate of in.sr
est on their money.
We doubt If aay bill more worthy
