BIG PER CENT Of
TRADE IS CREDIT
sountd Bnakins System Necessary to
Prevent Credit Panics And
Industrial Collapse.

New Orleans, La, Nov Ninety
five per cent of the business of the
country is now done ON credit said
George NJ. Reynolds, of the Continen-
tai and Commercial Bank of Chicago,
lin speech On currency reform today
before the American Bankers Associ-
alton
A sound banking system, he said,
VISA of vital Importance in country
in which credit entered so largely into
business transactions. He strongly
urged the National Reserve association
plan of stabilizing credit and making
the country's enormous cash reserves
an insurance against credit panics. He
said
81 contend that this plan has been
constructed upon the theory of giving
to the smallest bank in the country
the same privileges and the same pre-
negatives that it furnishes to the larg-
est institutions; and, too. contend
the age-earner who is dependent upon
continuation of prosperity without
interruption should favor the adoption
Iof this plan, as such an institution as
it contemplates will, in active opera
ton, be the means of preventing these
frequent seasons of depression which
result in throwing hundreds of thou
sands of mel out of employment
Il contend that the farmer should be
enthusiastically in favor of this plan
for the reason that it gives to him an
assurance that his note, if he is sol
vent and it is protected by grain and
live stock which he produces, can be
discounted by his local bank, because
the local bank, in turn, will have the
right to discount it with the National
Reserve Association, which will furn-
ish him eithe rcredit or currency, no
matter what the state of the reserve
in its relation to the credits already
extended by the local bank may be.
II contend that the business men Of
the country, without reference to the
kind or character Of business they are
doing, should favor the enactment OF
a law providing for the adoption OF
this plan, as it will give to them, II
they are solvent, an assurance that
they can at all times secure credit in
proportion to their reasonable needs

ed and protected by liquid assets o.

There are hotel dances and hotel
dances far and wide throughout the
country, but IL there are any more
jolly gatherings Of those who love the
terpsichorean art than those at the
Peaks Islaod House, they are as vet
20 be found. Every Tuesday and
Friday night throughout the summer
these merry, care-free affairs have
been held in the hotel parlors and
their popularity has increased, IL
possible, every time. balloon dances
and other affairs out Of the ordinary
serving TO vary the program. Last
week proved no exception, and the
dancers swayed in the dreamy Boston
or on in some corner, practised the
graceful Spanish till late hour in
the night. They realized that IL
was near the end of the season and
resolved to take advantage OF every
minute OF enjoyment: and IL was with
reluctancy that they finally ceased
and went to their slumbers.
Next week will mark the closing
OF what has easily been one OF the
most successful years in the history
OF the house. Manager Rowe, by his
careful management, bounteous hos
pitality and constant seeking after
the enjoyment OF every guest, has
made hosts of friends throughout the
country. who would hardly think of
letting summer pass without spend
ing part OF IL at Peaks Island. The
great success of this house shows
conclusively what a large modern
hotel can achieve with the right man
at the head of things in Casco Bay.

A Record Fishing Catch by Two

Fishing has been very popular this

and many devotees of the sport have
registered here. Not among the least
OF these are Mr.. Ogle and Mr.. Calkius.
Ihey nave been out a great deal since
their soJourn here and last Thursday
they had an especially successful trip.
The gentlemen anchored near the

very short time returned with as fine
catch as has been seen for some
time.
The Misses Atwood Of Chicago, who
are friends Of Doctor and Mrs. n. ".
Neal, are registered at the House.
They are on tour through Maine and
the White Mountains, but have fallen
so much in love with Harpswell that
they have engaged rooms for next
season at the Ocean View so as to be
sure and have accommodations on,

their family to enjoy this paradise.
Mr.. w. A. Sargent Of Brookline re-
turned TO his home Monday after a
Zine weeks vacation spent at the
Ocean View. This was Mr.. Sargent's
first season here, but the resort has
proved most agreeable with him and
he is very much pleased with its at

Mr.. c. B. Roller, a retired real es-
tate merchant of Philadelphia and
formerly OF the New York Board of
Aldermen, is staying at the House for
few weeks and enjoying the bracing

From these figures II appears that
last year the town spent on Bailey
Island as much as IL received from
the island. This was. however, an
exceptional year. owing to the special
appropriation OF $500 for the new
road. We must also not forget that
nearly half OF this Appropriation was
not spent, although the road should
be extended farther and finished
more completely. A fairer estimate
Of the relation Of taxes and expendi-
lures IL found in the accounts OF
other years. For the year 1909 the

Total,


While some inaccuracy is intro
duced by comparing the taxes assess
ed for 1911 with the total valuations
for 1911, these are not important for
the relative valuations which are
here made.
II will be noted
First That the total assessed
valuation of Bailey Island ($144,440)
is nearly onesixth Q-6) the total
assessed value Of real estate in the
town ($S36,770).
Second That the total assessed
against Bailey Island ($2,919.79) Is
also about one-sixth the total tax
assessed for the whole town ($1S,23O. /.
IL We accept this fraction Q-6) as
a fair expression Of the relative value
Of Bailey Island when compared to
the whole town, then one-sixth of
the general expenses of the town
should be charged against Bailey Is
land. The general expenses of the
town for 1910 were the following:

consideration by the city in making
the budget
THE total amount OF revenue for

was colylected from licenses, water
rent, etH,; 1924 from the sale Of
real estate belonging to tho city and
SS,S4402 from the tax levy.
presumably this amount was not
sufficient to run the city, falling short
100000. At least that was the indebt-
edness against the city at the begin
ming Of the fiscal year ending July
!, 1911. The expenses of the city for
the year ending July 1. 1910, We're
$215.O42.5S while the revenue as stat
ed before, was $i95,042.5S. The Jack
Crosbie bin was unpaid at the be-
ginning of that fiscal year. This BILL
$3,750, when added TO the bills con-
tracted during the period, would have
increased the fund necessary for run
ming the city to $21S,79758.
"On the other hand the total
amount Of revenue from July 1. 1910,
to July l, 1911, was $1S5,852, divid-
ed into two sums, S71,18GO2, from

And the total amount paid by the
city from July l. 1903, to JIy ],
1910, including the bills paid from
the following years revenue, was
$218,76I5S. The total amount Of
bills contracted by the city from July

unpaid bills contracted in 1910 and
1909, was $165S52.76. Now, If we
total the bills Of these two years, the

II we divide that sum by two the
quotient will be the sum OF $751;
