Mr. Wrights plan aims TO neutralize

dustries of the country. which he saws,
can dominate the policy OF the prin-
cipal banking institutions OF New York
and even determine the price Of money
in this market. He believes that the
capital of the proposed central bank
should be fixed upon some representa-

equal to One-haf OF l per cent OF the
banking power of the 1850 reporting
banks of the United States would give
a capital OF s66.O00.00O. Then. If these

that has Mortified Bradford The bad
ly decomposed body of man has been
taken from one of the reservoirs which
supply the city with drinking water.
The man weighed 140 pounds. The
reservoir contained 1.24O. 900. 900 pounds
of water. The ratio therefore is one
pound of man to about $3.50, 900 pounds
of water. The City Engineer con-
tended at the inquest that such rela-
tive proportions obviated any risk and
that the water had not been rendered
unfit for consumption by the accident.
Furthermore, IL the reservoir were
emptied it would involve a loss to the
ratepayers of s16,625. Probably the
financial argument had most weight
