been ruined by this class of institu-
tlons.
This nefarlous practice should be
stopped and the only way 10 stop 1t Is
by municipal legislation.
A provision ought 10 be made in the
city charter authorizing the city under
It's police power 10 regulate the estab-
llshment Of banks and creating In
pursuance Of this work board for
the examination OF all proposed new
banking concerns. Such board
should be given ample power to exam
Inc into the financial standing Of the
promoters OF these institutions, and
none should be allowed to be licensed
unless such as could show assets ample
for the carrying on OF their business,
sufficient to cover the amount OF their
deposits, and sound and substantial
enough to thoroughly protect their
depositors.
There can be no question as to the
right and the justice Of the city to
exercise such power under a properly
constructed charter provision. IL the
city has the right to regulate plumb

the electrical business, to regulate pawn
