This afternoon at the session of

Mayor Jose D. Sena made a brief but
hearty address of welcome to which
Cashier Collier of the State National
Bank at Albuquerque replied in fit
ting terms. Governor Curry was
greeted with applause and briefly but
forcibly reviewed the financial condi-
tion of the Territory. He urged the
association to appoint committee to
draft modern banking law, to cor
respond with the uniform banking
laws being adopted by other common
wealths and which will supersede the
present fragmentary territorial bank
ing law found scattered throughout
the Compiled Laws of 1897 and the
Session Laws since then. Governor
Curry called attention to the excel
lent financial conditions of and in the
Territory. There has been only one
bank failure in New Mexico for
number of years and that of a small
private bank that would not have
failed had the territorial law at that
time provided for proper supervision
of private banks, which it now does
