The Washington times., 1908-06-09

A movement is oil foot for the fOrma-
ton Of a clearing house association in
Washington, under the Aldrich-Vree-
land law. Washington has but little
need for such an association with
s., 0O0, COO paid out in cash by Uncle Sam
10 civilian employees. In the panic the
banks of this city, all of which are
under Government supervision, did not
issue clearing house certificates. A few
banks were anxious 10 avail themselves
Of this method of easing the fpanClal
situation but others were OppOstd. just
as the same banks are liable not to
go into any association. where they VIII
have TO co-equal responsibility with
other institutions. Nor does the rest
OF the country need the encouragement
Of any action by our banks. The fact
that washington was on cash basis IN
October, did not encourage any other
city 70 follow It's lead.
The meeting 10 organize viii be held
tomorrow afternoon. IT VIII be nee
esSary for all Of the eleven banks In
the District TO acquiesCe in the fOrma-
ton of the association, as in this way
only would IL be possible to obtain the
necessary s. 100000 capital. the mini
mum representation that mag organize
under the law.
Each bank is expected TO name either
its president or vice president as a
member Of the first board Of governors.
