Reservoir Filings Are Cancelled.


lw0 years ago a large number of
reservoir filings were made III Stanley
county, many Of the settlers filing such
declaratory statements at the same time
as they filed homesteads. These filings
were under q law which gave the claim
ant possession only 50 long as he held
certain required amount of water on
the claim, the amount being based OH
tine acreage held. He must, under the
law allow the public free access to such
waterfall all times, and must file with
the land office an annual certified state
5ment that he was holding the required
amount Of water. Many of the filings
were only TO hold tracts for friends who
afterward filed honest on the same
but others were filed with the expecta
tlon Of holding them, but very few
carried out the plan, and the land office
here il now cancelling many such filing,

Bank Stock Valuations.

Bank stock Valuations were reduced
this year by the state board over a half
million dollars from the returns sent
In by the counties on that class of
property. They are also assessed in
the aggregate $133,O00 less for 1907
than they were assessed for the year
1906. From the returns made to the
state Aurora county citizens hold none
of that class of property, as no bank
stock was returned. For a number of
years its'has beenan established custom
to fix the valuations OF bank stock at
so per cent of its par value, without
regard to its selling value. This Gus
tom has become. so we'll understood
that thirty one out of tiity-tWo coun
ties OF the state made their return at
That figure this year. For some reason
the state board decided upon d change
in basis of assessment and took 40 per
cent as the basis to work from, aud
this makes the reduction from last
year, Witha higher return from the
counties. The county returns showed
a valuation on such property at 50,
$50, $3.50, and the work Of the State board
left5it at S2,33S, $40. The extremes If
the returns were Aurora county, with.
no blank stock, and Buffalo county,

Albany ~ ~, Dec. ia commit
tee Of bankers appointed BY Governor
Hughes November ID, during the Sc
we're days of the monetary panic, to
recommend a modification of existing
banking laws of New York, reported
to the Governor today The commit
tee was selected from the ieading
bankers and trust company managers,
and was called upon to suggest meas
ures which would tend to prevent the
of panic such as the one
that Wall Street has just experienced.
The report, in general, expresses the
view that in New York city state
banks should maintain the same cash
reserve as national banks, namely, 25
per cent, and that trust companies
should maintain also rs per cent
reserve, not necessarily all in cash, III
its own vaults. A strong present
ment is made against the practice or
promoters obtaining control of chain
Of banks to further their own financial
schemes.
While the committees recommends ,
tions can apply only to state bankst
and trust companies in New York city,
and state, their realization Of national
responsibility on the part Of the city's |
financial institutions is shown by Il |
