Currency Bill is
Slightly Changed

Washington Sept 1e-With de-
tailed consideration of the administra
ton currency bill in the House pro-
crossing even more rapidly than Dem
ocratic leaders had hoped, the House
banking committee today agreed on an
amendment by Representative Burk-
ley, Of Ohio, TO permit banks unlimit-
ed rediscount privileges, with Federal
reserve banks.
Representatives Burkley Glass and
Phelan contended that to limit the
redscount banks to the amount Of
their capital stock would defeat the
main purpose Of the bill-to allow
ample means for securing currency
on commercial paper in times Of
stress.

permanent plan of orgapi


tf44SBruns,~sck Board OF Trade gave
some good sound advice, saying in
part;
1t is very difficult to make the
work of a so-ealled State Chamber of
Commerce truly state wide in scope.
1t is still more diffic,rk to maintain
close communication between the cen
trail offices of State Chamber of
Commerce and the state wide member
snip, consisting of individuals and af-
filiated local organization. There are
the rocks upon which lie the bleaching
bones, all that remain of several score
promising State chamber OF com.
merce. If the Georgia State Chamber
Iof Commerce is to be a success we
must steer safely past these two dan.
ger points.
Every village and city in the state
OF Georgia has either organized its
chamber of comerce or is seriously
considering the organization of a
chamber of commerce, with a view tc
lbettering local conditions. After
careful thought l have arrived at the
conclusion that it is waste of time
and money and energy for the peopis
of towns of 5000 people and less with
but one or two lines of railroad tc
hope to build themselves into great
cities through the activities of q
chamber of commerce.
Whatever the Georgia Chamber OF
commerce does it must not neglect the
development of the agricultural state.
have convinced myself that e.le frst
work eff the Georgia Chamber OF
Commerce should be fer the improve.
ment of farms and farmers. | dare
say that | am not the first man to ar
rive at the conclusion that the farm
is the fundamental source of wealth,
but l sincerely hope that this repre-
sentative body OF Georgia men today
will see to it that the Georgia Cham
ber of Commerce devotes its first at
tention to the betterment of our
farms"
Mr. Weatherly suggested the for
nation of agricultural improvement
associations to work in conjunction
with the State Chamber of Commerce
not only for the settlement of the
vacant lands, but for better production
OF improved lands.

Cost Items Include
 Coast Defense Expense

In making up the annual average to tai of $450,00O which he says is the cost of maining the cable and tele graph service in Alaska, Secretary oi War Lindley NJ. Garrison includes these items:
 Salaries of cilivians and enlisted men, including additional pay, cloth ing rations, transportation, medical at tendance; salaries of officers, and cost of supplies and material, s260,0S4.20.
 Cost of quartermaster's corps for transportation and other purposes on account of the telegraph and cable lines, $79,469.6S.
 Maintenance of the Burnside, $112,- S44.63.
 He admits, however, that the Burn side, in addition to duties performed in connection with the Alaska system, is essentially necessary for the main tenance of the cables forming a part of the defenses of Puget Sound.
 In spite of all the items included in this charge against the Alaska cable and telegraph system, the deficiency is only about s90,0OO year.

 WOrkman'S Hotel
-O--O-

Plans have been drawn for a mod ern workingmen's hotel to be erected by P. l.. Gemmet and Frank Mccoy on the Franklin street property re- gently purchased from the Pacific Coast Company. This property is 100 x1OO and lies immediately adjoining the Chief Johnson house. There are several small buildings on the proper ty occupied by tenants and it will be necessary to have the property cleared of these membranes before active operations can be started. It is eX- pected that this will be done before the end of July. As soon as the prop erty is vacated the excavations will be made for the foundations and the work hurried along to completion.
 The building is to be 90x90, three stories and basement. The basement will be 75x100 and will contain club rooms for the guests and others who may care to enjoy it's privileges. The club room will contain library, bill Hard hall, swimming pool and shower baths. Entrance to the club will be by card membership and will cost $1.00 per month.
 The main or street floor will be part ly devoted to stores, but there will be a good restaurant located in it and other necessary essentials. The two upper floors will be made into lodg ings. The entire building is to be steam heated throughout and electric lighted. Every room will have both hot and cold water and be finished in the same class as the modern working mems hotels in Outside cities.
