at which his family WINGED uncon-

MONETARY BOARD
ON BANK REFORM
Commission Drafts Bill After Four
Years Work-To Prevent
Money Panic.

Washington, d. C.-The national
monetary commission. after four
years of study and labor, have drafted
OF the United States designed to pre-
vent recurrence OF such unfortunate
financial conditions as prevailed dur
ing the money panic of 1907.
The bill consists of fifty-nine Sec
tions and in general follows the lines
of the socalled Aldrich plan. But the
commissions bill shows some impor-
tant changes from the original or even
from the revised draft of Mr.. Aldrich's
plan.
The bill incorporates the National
Reserve association of the United
States, with an original capital OF
S200,000,000 instead of the s5G0,GG0,-
900 as first proposed by Mr.. Aldrich.
Through an elaborate machinery in
volving fifteen branches Of the associ-
alton, each branch being the center of
a group of local associations of banks,
the National Reserve association is au-
thoriZed to issue notes against prop
erly Endorsed commercial paper. The
bill provides for the admission to the
and trust companies that subscribe to
its conditions as well as CT the nation
al banks already in existence.
The circulating notes of the associa-
ton shall be received at par in pay
ment for all dues to the United States
and salaries and debts owned by the
United States, unless gold is specifcal-
ly set forth in the contract, and all
dues or debts to any bank or trust
company shall be payable in the notes.
The notes shall constitute a first lien
upon all the assets of the association
and no interest shall be paid by the
| association upon its deposits
Besides its duties in the rediscount-
ing of paper for the providing of an
elastic currency the association shall
act as disbursing agent for the United
States government and shall also
transact business abroad. authority be-
Ing given for the establishment of for
elgn branches. The assets of the as
ISOLATION and of local branches and
districts shall be exempt from local
| and state taxation except as to real
| estate, while a federal tax falls auto
matically upon the association for it's
failure to maintain the so per cent re-
serve required by the act.
The bill attempts to prevent the
Capitalization of the control of the
| system in any one locality. In the dis
tricting Of the country for the fifteen
branches. division is made largely by
| geographical and not financial stand
| ards.
The sections which will attract
widest public interest and arouse the
| most debate are those relating to the
issuance of currency by the associa-
ton. The sections follow broadly the
Aldrich plan.

London's Mansion House,

The Mansion house. at London,
which will be the future residence Of
the new Lord Mayor, was built by the
elder Dance between 1889 and 1853.
This prolonged delay was caused by
the discovery of numerous springs Of
water in digging the foundations,
which had to be based upon piles.
Originally the facade had heavy at
tic story commonly called THE Mares
(Mayor's) Nest" The famous Egyp-
tian hall, which is the principal room,
was so stated because intended by the
architect to reproduce exactly the
Egyptian hall described by Vitruvius.
The cost of the Mansion house, G71,-
900, is alleged to have been partly
betrayed from fines inflicted upon
Nonconformist members of the cor
poration for not receiving the sacra-
ment according to the rites of the Es-
tablished church, as required by the
corporation act of Charles III.
