control, OF a central reserve association
such as the Aldrich rlan provided FOR, WAS

the ground that the majority OF the direc-
tors Of tho local associations into when
the banks of the country were 10 be groupeo

ponent banks. each bank having one vote,
Irrespective Of its size. This, he said. was
the American principle. that every indiVid-

vote. By virtue OF the same principe

power could not obtain control or the CEN

NO PERIL IN COURTHOUSE
McAneny Denies lnflammable
Stuff Is Stored There.

Borough President McAneny was much
put out Yesterday over stories that under
bis administration the basement of tho
Courthouse had been turned into a store
room for infsmmsble materials and that
the justices of the Supreme Court had
demanded that he abate the nuisance.
1.-The court issued no mandate what
ever" said the Borough President yester-
day. ~ letter OF that sort was prepared
by some one for signature by the judges.
but the judges, upon learning the actual
facts, promptly recalled this. and fled in
stead a brief note requesting that an IN
spection be made and proper action taken
TO correct any conditions that might be
found TO be hazardous"
Some Of the cans Of oil varnish and other
inhsmable material about which the JUS
tees made their protest were removed from
the Courthouse yesterday and taken to the
Rutger street baths. While this work was
going on wagon drove up 10 the Court
house with a load of several barrels Of oil.
The consignment wss not received.
The Borough President said the shops and
storage rooms had been IN the basement of
the Courthouse for years: that when the
present superintendent OF buiiulnes Shu
offices took hold these shops We're men
ace, but changes were made at once re-
ducing the FIRE risk materially. II seems
that some months ago more than twenty
FIVE loads OF old furniture and more than
one hundred loads of debris and niscel-
lsneous material Of lighter character were
removed.

are safe now. but intends 10 consult with
the Fire Commissioner in regard to thcm
