concentrations were framed by w J.
Rartnett. president of the Western Pa
cjac Railroad. Mayor Schmits viii
appoint a committee OF eighteen Of the
citizens committee to discuss the
plans with the bankers and realty men
The plan outlined is to sell $l4,o0O,eoo
worth Of san Francisco bonds TO East
err. capitalists and deposit the proceeds
in city and California banks. The Is
s,zance OF bonds y the city to the
amount Of from s25.OOo000 to S4o,0oo,Go0
is advocated. It is also urged that the
State issue $25, ,OOO, 900 OF bonds for ir1l-

The Bankers Association recon-
menos that all country banks shall
cooperate during the present emer-
gency. Cooperation among the San
Francisco banks has been effective
The association asks that none Of the
country banks shall take advantage Of
their situation to gain prestige. The
bankers declare positively that no sol
vent enterprise is in danger, except for
the short delay that must be in the re-
adjustment.
The association also recommends
that country banks shall discourage
independent action

pleted plans for starting to put money
into circulation on Tuesday. Advances
~ to $500 viii be made to the clients
