In Hamburg the Reichsbank and five i'm.

tatives of these banks meet several times daily
at the Reichsbank. where transactions between
their several customers are cleared. In Ham

which has 500 branches. more or less. through.
out the empire. All transactions are under.
taken without cost to either payer or payee
and the contrary deposits subject to this
modified form OF checking usually draw one
per cent interest per annum.
The advantages of the Giro system fall
partly under the head of security and partly
of convenience. Danger from forgery is
eliminated as the notification sent to a banker
by payer could not by any possibility be
utilized advantag geously by criminally dis
posed persons. The only Inconvenience OBJ
servable arises from the fact that receipts for
payments are not acknowledged on bills rem
dered. unless such receipts specially
sought by messenger after the bank exchange
has been made.
1t is customary in small local transactions
for the payer TO note at the foot of bills the
date of payment through his banker and in
case OF possible dispute the bank is always
prepared to clear up Observation-Disclosures. Con.

high 5000 notes an hour have been made
by the most expert of the 400 women counters
in Uncle Sans employ but such high-speed
work cannot be maintained for any great
length of time
A most important feature of the task Is the
counting of the bonds held by the government
as security for the circulation OF national
banks and as security for government money
deposited with the banks. These bonds occupy
n special vault in the treasury building and
they total something like three-quarters of

task, but Uncle Sam now has on hand 80 per

time.
The counting of the coin-gold. silver. nick

ernmen constitutes yet another branch of this
unique enterprise. In the case of the coin the
term counting must not be taken too literally.
for as a matter of fact much of the accumu.

at the treasury instead OF counted. Weighing.

whereas the enumeration of the bills and
ponds will be largely in the hands of young
women. whom experience has demonstrated
are DETER at such work than their masculine
cowoTkers. Indeed. at the previous event of
this kind some of the most expert of the young
women developed ability to count 10000
bills in five hours
The young women who are engaged in this
work give their undivided attention to count
ing bills. Male associates give out the bundles
OF money to be counted and take charge of
them as the count of each package is finished.
The fastest work in this whole big undertake
ing is done in counting the reserve fund-that
Is. the millions upon millions of dollars in
brand new currency that is held in reserve
ready to be issued whenever called for. This
wealth is in the form of crisp bills. ranging
in denomination from 81 to $4,000 each. There
are thousands of bundles Of this paper money,
each bundle containing 1000 notes of one de-
nomination Inside a main bundle of the size
indicated are 40 small packages. each contain
ing 100 notes. Thus bundle containing
$4,000. 900 in $4,000 bills is bulkier to
handle and no more trouble to count than a
package containing $4,000 in 81 bills.
An official of the treasury has personal
charge of the count and working under him is
a force recruited on the ratio of about five
counters TO bailer and seaer. As the
count progresses each package in turn has the
heavy wax seal broken and is unwrapped by
of the men. who hands II to one of the
women counters. taking her receipt for the
bundle of money. She proceeds to count the
bills and IL the package is found to contain
the amount called for turns it back with
Endorsement as to its correctness and the re
ceipt which she has given Is destroyed or
returned to her. Each package which is pro-
nounced o. X. is taken in hand by the bailers
and sealers. rewrapped. labeled and sealed
with the great daubs of red wax bearing the
official treasury seal. that at the end of
this proceeding the package looks just as 1t
did before work began.

rally he would want to do this only after as
surfing himself that all the funds were intact
to the last dollar and penny-hence the big
count. As may be surmised. this appraisal OF
what Uncle Sam has laid by for rainy day
cannot be exactly coincident with the entry
and exit in the treasurer's office. To count
one by all the bills and gold pieces and
silver and copper coins in the governmental
hoard Is a time-consuming task and the new
treasurer will probably have been in office
three or four months and perhaps even six
months ere he is in position to hand to the
outgoing Official formal receipt closing the
transfer OF course. II the count of the money
and securities should show any shortage from
the total amount called for by the books. the
retiring official will have to make good out of
his own pocket-which is rather hard. since

PURGATOlRE RIVER. !.
Santa Fe System Will Spend Between
$4,000 and 100000 at Trinidad
to Reclaim 100000 Flooded
Lands.

Trinidad, Colo, Nov. 10.-Initial
steps for the Improvement and
Strengthening of the course Of the
Furgatoire river through Trinidad
were taken at a joint conference of
the city and county officials, repre-
statives of the Colorado & Southern,
Santa Fe and the Denver & Rio
Grande railroads and private property
owners.
As a result City Engineer Littleton
was instructed to make an estimate
and prepare maps for an Improvement.
which, it is estimated. will cost be-
tween S150,000 and 100000, and
which will reclaim about twenty-five
acres of flooded land within the city
limits.
At the meeting announcement was
made by J. M. Kurn, superintendent of
this division of the Santa Fe that his
company had decided to spend several
thousand dollars in Strengthening the
river wall near the Santa Fe station
and making other improvements to
protect its property.
