the exact complexion OF the corpora
ton which. we believe, will be founded.
It Is enough at the present time to
assert that 1t will be founded upon the
broadest and soundest principles, and
will be an investment which will prove
attractive not only to the banker and
great capitalist. but also to the people
at large. who seek profitable invest
ment for their savings.
The plan does not involve any guar
arfty of the city OF San Francisco or
the State of California. for we believe
the realty of San Francisco will be
ample guaranty and security for all
money invested In the country. The
plan. broadly, Is to incorporate. en-
abling subscribers TO create q fund
which will be used through the agents
of the corporation resident In San
Francisco In lending money upon
realty, which Is worth as much to-day
as on the day before tie earthquake
TT is well known that the records
Of realty were preserved intact and
that titles are perfect. Ready money
should be available before the great
bulk Of insurance policies are paid over.
AS to whether the corporation will be
limited to a short term OF years or
win be made practically perpetual. as
a permanent investment, 1 cannot say.
Suitable laws will be passed, and
the people are enthusiastically going
ahead and not a dissenting voice will
be raised to any arrangement which
may be decided. which shall be fair,
In the line Of guarding Investments.
San Francisco does not come here as
supplicant, but as Offering legiti-
mate investment. which ia good
thing and Will take rank at the top
Of financial properties. The concerns
with which 4 am connected are in a
position to finance their own rehabilita-
ton. This plan looks to the general
restoration
II desire also to say that San Fran
cisco is already moving" said Franklin
X Lane. The damage wrought by
the earthquake did not exceed s3,00o,-
| 900. Fire crushed San Francisco. We
need not fear any earthquake In the
future. We shall rebuild in sections,
as prescribed by the commission. which
Will have absolute control of the new
city beautiful. so that earthquake proof
buildings alone will be permitted In
certain zones and so that the zones
shall be separated by wide boulevards
! and spaces which In the event of q
future confagration will confine the

BANKS OF THE STATE
ARE IN GOOD SHAPE,
SAYS COMMISSIONER
Directors Of Financial institutions
Find II Difficult to Fix Date
for Reopenins.
Legal Holiday Proclamation Will Con-
tinue Until the Concerns Realize
on Their Quick Assets.

OAKLAND, May S.-From many
sections Of the State inquiries are
coming to Governor Pardee and to
other State officers as to when the
banks Of the State Will be able to
open their doors for the transaction
Of general business. In short, the
query is. when will the calling of
legal holidays stop?"
c. H Dunsmoor, president of the
State Board Of Bank Commissioners,
today gave a statement on the subject
which tends to clear the air and to
present the situation as to present
financial conditions. President Duns
moor said 1t would be difficult to Ak
a date at which the banks should
open their doors for the regular trans
action Of business.
Out of an abundance Of caution and
desire to protect the depositors II
is. says Dunsmoor, the unanimous
opinion Of the members Of the Bank
Commission that the legal holiday
proclamation should continue for such
time as will enable the banks to
realize on their quick assets and thus
be prepared to meet all demands thai
will be made upon them

all the banks in the State will be able
to meet their obligations, the only
requisite being a reasonable time In
which to prepare for the emergency
which the recent calamity has pro-
duced.
