NEW CASTLE

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEW CASTLE. Feb. 16-City Coun-
Gill will consider the question of put
ting in Il switch for the Deemer Steel
Casting Company The cost will be
about $500, and as the operation Of
the plant will mean considerable money
weekly for the people of this city.
many of the Councilmen are in favor
of assisting the new industry.
Should the high license bill now be-
fore the Legislature become a law New
Castle will receive $500 as its share
of the fees. Consequently New Castle
will keep a close watch on Dover.
Sometimes IL is said that New Castle
is rather slow. That may be, but last
week a record was made. A letter
was mailed at $50 a. M, as the pouches
for the first mail were being closed.
The letter went to Bear Station and
the sender received a reply at his place
Of business in Wilmington at $50 a. m.
The same person sent letter to
Henry Clay from Wilmington. Henry
Clay is one mile from Wilmington. He
did not receive a reply until thirty
two days had elapsed. The letter had

Moor and the railroad town sent it to

BURTON'S PLAN

Continued From First Page.
the general plan OF other bills proposed
for the same purpose.
Its distinctive feature IS that Il pro-
poses the use Of the postal savings GER
tihcate in carrying into effect the pro-
visions OF the bill. instead OF the saw
ings pass book as proposed In other
bills This furnishes much simpler
and more available method. and would
result In great benefit TO the Govern
ment both in the east and facility with
which 1t could be put into operation and
IN the saving in expense OF operation.
THE postal savings banks are not
designed TO be. and are not, in fact,
substitute for other savings banhs
or their rival. but their feeder. They
meet a need which tho other savings
banks could never meet and reach a
class which they could never reach.
Because Of this feeling Of awe OF the
banks and the idea that there is some
mystery about the business, and the
fear that their money may not always
be safe in the hands OF a bank. the
masses OF the people do not do a bank
ing business. The result is that their
savings, amounting from a few dollars
TO some hundreds and in some cases
TO thousands. and IN the grand total OF
many millions. are hidden away IN va
rious odd corners and curious recepta-
clcs for safe-keeping. being Withdrawn

thereby from the channels OF trade to
the serious detrlment of every finan-
cial interest.
mo more important matter has de-
manded the attention OF this body. and
solicit your very careful considera-
ton OF its details. AS previously stat
ed. the distinctive feature of this bill
is its provision for the use of the postal
savings certificate. and In this lies its
superior merit. In other respects the
bill follows the lines of other bills deal
ing with this subject. which have APP
parently received the most favorable
consideration, and as these features
are more or less familiar TO you. de-
sire 20 call your attention especially
to this simple. though unique. and In
genious devico-the postal savings GER
tifcate-the ease with which II can be
put into use by the Postofice Depart
mont and the beneficial results which
would follow its use.
"This device Is the outgrowth, pri-
mRrily of the efforts Of a practical
banker 60 meet the needs and require
ments Of his own bank in the conduct
Of its daily business. He realized. with
other bankers generally throughout the
country, that there Is a very real and
pressing need for some provision "a
draw out and 60 put into circulation
the vast sums boarded and hidden away
by the savers. as previously cited.
ITO accomplish this some induce
ment must be ocered to them, and
this has generally taken the form OF
the payment Of interest on time de-
posts. The various plans and expe-
dients which have been put into opera
ton TO that end have had a measure
lof success. 70 the extent that a large
and distinctive branch Of the banking
business has ben developed; but In
their final working all OF these va
-ious eXpedients have proved so trou-
blesome and unsatisfactory that many
banks have discarded their devices ano
abandoned the attempt.
THE effort to meet the condition:
has, however. resulted in the coneep.

ton and development Of a patented
device, known as the adjustable cou-
pom certificate OF deposit" which Is
claimed to furnish the solution Of all
these difficultles and to meet the needs
and requirements Of the case fully and
exactly.
1T furnishes simple and adequate
method OF conducting the time-deposit
business II provides not only TO the
deposition a convenient and attractive
means OF accommodating savings and
deriving an income therefrom In the
meantime. but also proves a 0lrge saw
ing TO the bank IN labor and expense.
II secures the largest returns with the
least outlay. Essentially. IL IS simply
n certificate OF deposit, which may be
issued with the greatest ease and ia
ciiity by any bank or financial insti-
tuition TO any customer for any amount,
for any time. at any rate. and upon
any terms and conditions that may be
agreed upon. It's distinctive feature
Is that IL has attached TO IL interest
coupons. which are manufactured. as
TO value. al the moment OF issue. The
bank is enabled by this device to make
the value OF the coupons accord with
the varying amounts OF the deposits
represented by the certificates TO which
the coupons are attached.
"A study Of the features and the pos
sibilities OF this device soon developed
the fact that Il might be employed FOL
wide range OF uses. Indeed, II Is
available wherever an interest bear
ing obligation can be employed

Telephone Company Wishes TO Con
Struct COnduits I'm Cumberland.

Special 20 The Washington Herald
Cumberland, Md, Aug. 6.-The Chesa-
peake and Potomac Telephone Company
to-day fled in the Circuit Court here a
bill Of complaint asking for an injunction
against the mayor and city council of
Cumberland, George A. Kean, mayor Of
Cumberland. and George Flanagan. chief
OF police. Cumberland. 70 restrain them
from preventing the telephone company
beginning the work of laying a conduit
system In Cumberland.
The petition claims that the ordinance
passed In 1889, granting the telephone
company certain franchises in Cumber-
land, and which grants the telephone
company the privilege Of stretching wires
over. through. and under the streets OF
Cumberland. that the company has the
right 10 install this system.
The bill alleges that the business Of the
company in Cumberland has increased
10 such an extent that IL is impossible
for IL 10 place any more wires on the
poles now erected, or TO place any addi-
tional poles on the streets, by reason of
all the available space being occupied by
Il. and other electric companies doing
business here. The company claims that
its present system is inefficient 10 meet
public demands, and is a great inconveni-
ence and annoyance 10 the company. and
that II is necessary in order to give eff
cient service that a conduit system be
installed 70 be used in conjunction with
the pole system.
