A practical means Of meeting the situa-
ton is to be considered by a sub-commit-
tee on commercial building. The commit
tee will urge the establishment Of a semi.

Liabilities Run Heavy.

Among the bills receivable by the two
banks are notes amounting to s1s.2sJ 81,
these are Offset by liabilities OF the bank.
To arrive at what the creditors may hone
90 receive. that amount should be deduct
ed from the total value and from the out
standing liabilities. leaving the net valua-
ton Of the assets sl53.6l309, and the la
biHties 1853 .655.44
Assuming that these estimates are ap-
proximately correct, liquidation OF this
basis would insure the payment OF about
81 per cent in dividends to depositors and
other creditors less the cost Of admins
trati0n."
Payments 10 the depositors cannot be
made for some time. as it will be neces-
sary to realize upon the good assets, and
convert into cash such of the securities
as are Of value.
The Comptroller was unable yesterday
to estimate approximately when this
could be done. The affairs OF the two
banks are I'm such a tangled condition
that 1t may take two or three months TO
reach the end OF string OF the intricate
financial operations carried on by the
managers Of the company.

tutinaI Rest Disturbed.

In a letter to the Commissioners yester-
day. Thomas Gilmer. OF the Treasury De
partment, alleges that the peaceful citi-
zens Of the city are hampered in their at
tempts TO sleep by the noises emanating
during the early morning hours from the
street sweepers. the bakers. the milkmen,
and the jolly jagsters." Mr.. Gilmer says:
The street sweepeTs. the bakers delivery
man, and the milkmen make & difficult 10
find a quiet place at night anywhere in
the city. The bakers begin at a. m.
yelling at their horses and slamming
bread boxes. From y to I. or later. the
jolly jagster come along whistliEg or talk
ing loudly. Would it not be practicable
to instruct the police to keep things as
quiet as possible during the ordinary
morning hOuTS?'
The matter was referred TO the superin-
tendent of the street-cleaning department.
