calls for the delivery Of the new machine

expects 10 have the new service installed
In time for the heavy travel OF next fall
at the time OF the Ak-Sar-Ben festivities.
The new machine will be installed in the
new power house OF the company on the

OF the power house at 1900 volts to three
substations one to be erected in the north
ern part OF the city, one in the southern
part and one portable converter which
will be used at Manawa during the summer
months. The current viii be converted at
the substations to 500 volts. at which volt
age It will be put onto the trolley lines.
The cost OF the new machine is over

QUICK ASSETS BETTER, SAYS Mr.. DRAKE

The bill passed by the, house Wednesday
which, II passed by the senate and signed
by the president, will permit national banks
to loan money on real estate, is not looked
upon with favor by the national banks of
omaha.
Il am opposed TO city banks being per-
mitted to loan money on real estate" said
Luther Drake, president Of the Merchants
National bank. The banks in reserve
cities should have their money loaned On
what we call quick assets. I'm satisfied
with the present law. There are cases,
however, in which banks in small towns
can be permitted with absolute safety and
with some degree OF conyertibility, to loan
money on real estate"
1T wouldn't be banking to do that KIND
of business" said Henry w. Yates, presl-
dent Of the Nebraska National bank.
when a man wants his money, he wants
It.. He doesn't want to be told that we
have his money in real estate and he must
wait until we get It out. While loans on
real estate might be beneficial under GER
tain conditions to banks in country locali-
ties yet 1t would demoralize the business
to have city banks follow the practice, and
l don't see how 1t could be permitted to
one unless to the other"
4 believe" said Milton Barlow, president
Of the United States National bank, It
would be beneficial to the country banks If
they were permitted to loan a reasonable
proportion of their funds on real estate
securities, but I do not think a city bank,
which is acting as a depository for country
banks, should loan its funds for longtime
upon real estate"
Press reports say that Congressman Ken
nedy spoke against the bill on the ground
hat N9 ar,-
1t does not include city real estate as well
as farm land. The local bankers are OF
the opinion, though they have no positive
knowledge that Mr.. Kennedy was against
the whole proposition.
