Further Time Given Banks and Bust

In view of the great Calamity so
recently experienced in the state OF
California, in which, by rasol Of the
intimate relations existing between
the commercial. financial and general
interests of the TWO States. Nevada
is seriously involved.

State of Nevada. by virtue Of he
power invested in me, do hereby bro
CLAIM and recommend that the people
of this State adopt a liberal policy
in business between themselves for
the time being. and extend the same
courtesy to financial institutions.
From conversation with diff ont
bankers in San Francisco, and person
al observation, it appears that t viii
be fifteen days before the vaults n
the city can be safely opened, as
millions of dollars in currency would
be sustained by the destruction of
bank books and other valuable dOcu-
ments affecting the safety of wills
etc.
Many Nevada people have valuable
papers in the vaults in San Francisco
for safe keeping, such as wills, deeds
stocks and securities of various kinds,
and many are now absent from home,
who have money deposited in Ne
vada banks.
In the interest Of all and for the
future welfare of the people, | earnest
ly recommend that the banks OF Ne
vada remain closed from and after
the 2Sth day of April to and includ-
ing the 18th day of May. 1906.

How 1t is Regarded in California
Financial Circles

The Sacramento Union has the fol-
lowing:
Attorney General Webb, when inter
viewed by a Union reporter as to the
effect OF the holidays proclaimed by
the Governor, made the following
statement:
There is nothing in the continuance
of the present series of holidays
which prevents the voluntary resumpt-
ion of commercial and industrial bust
ness. Obligations may be met and
contracts performed with entire Sc
curity The holidays are not design
ed to prevent the voluntary resumpt-
ion of business or performance Of
contracts. but are intended more
particularly to enable banks and other
institutions affected by the great loss
es which orr State has sustained to
maintain their status unimpaired and
to give them the required time to
make all necessary arrangements of
the holiday period.
The vaults of the banks in the
burned district cannot safely be open
ed until the lapse of considerable
time.
During the eXistance Of the Holt
days one may not be legally compelled
TO make or perform a contract, but
Notwithstanding the existance of the

tivity, except such as results from the
inability TO withdraw bank deposits.

nation by Governor Sparks extending

warrented by the present eXtraOrdi-
nary cond tions of affairs.
