SILVER LAKE IS

Works Board Defers Action on
Annexation Until Next In
spection Visit.

Expressing themselves as opposed
to the annexation of the Silver Lake
section to the city of Newark, the
members of the Board of Works this
afternoon decided to lay the matter
over until their next inspection trip,
when they will attempt to draw a
dividing line that will make the ad-
dition of the section more of an ad-
vantage to the city than what has
been offered by Belleville and Bloom
field.
The ideas of the commissioners
were summed up by Commissioner
Gillen, when he said:
"Belleville and Bloomfield have
two lemons they would like to hand
us. The city of Newark is in no
position now to take any lemons
There is too much other property on
our outskirts which we might annex
to better advantage"
Charles |. Kocher, town attorney
for Bloomfield, said that his munich
pality was opposed to granting to
Newark land on which thousands OF
dollars had been expended for I'M
Belleville was not rep
resented at the hearing.
The matter was deferred on motion
of Commissioner Biertuempfel.

(By Dr.. Karl F. M. Sandberg.)

While the Postal Banks, as now
operated are of only very limited use,
they still form splendid foundation
for full government banking system
and ought to have the support of
every Socialist. ALL that is needed is
to extend and perfect their operations
shall try to explain their advantages
and defects as at present operated ana
also such changes as we Socialists
ought to advocate in order to make
them what they from our standpoint,
ought to be.
To us the all important advantage is
that they are Socialist institution.
They fulfill one-haf of the financial
plank of our platform, collective own
ership of the banking system. How
much cause you may find for criticism
this fact still remains, and compared
with that, all other considerations are
insignifcant.~ No matter how awk-
ward and inconvenient their methods,
they ought to be the only banks pat
ronized by us. A further advantage
is their absolute safety. Compared
with this a little less interest should
not be complained of.
| Their defects and shortcomings are
| the postal functionaries as we'll as the
| people. The local postmaster is not
| trusted with the funds received, but
must transfer the full amount to
others, 5 per cent to the Treasury De-
partment in Washington as a reserve,
and s. per cent to some private bank
designated by the Post Office depart
ment. This leaves him without any
cash to pay Withdrawals, except such
as may come from new deposits. The
amount of deposits received is limited
to $4,000 in month, and $4,000 all
together. Any person whose deposits
run higher is barred.
i The changes we Socialists ought to
advate are: u
1. RemoSal of the maximum limita-
ton on deposits A bank to serve all
must be without any such restrictions
+ 2. Removal of all limitations as to
depositors. SO as to accept also firms,
corporations and public bodies. Pub
, lie banks must serve all.
3. Opening of checking accounts.
The check system is the most per-
feet and convenient medium of ex
change and should be Immediately
adopted by the government. The gov
eminent through its banks should also
be the only one to issue cheehs.
Checks are kind of money, and on
the issuance of money the govern
1nent has constitutional monopoly.
| 4. Removal of all requirements for
redepositing in private banks.
Redepositing illustrates the entire
; object of the postal banks, makes
them mere collecting agencies for p1i
vate banks, helping these to- get the
peoples money at a lower rate Of in
terest.
Without it a great amount of money
would be in the hands of the posta
banks and with the introduction of tht
check system the usefulness OF this
money would be manifo1dly increased.
The government would not need to
borrow on interest bearing bonds
Were all the savings of the workers
held by the postal banks the capital
lists would also be deprived of the
largest part of the funds whereby they
exploit them, the very deposits of the
workers themselves in the capitalist
banks.
]. These changes have been framed a
