May Be Used by Treasury.

The funds to be withdrawn from the
banks are likely to be deposited with
other institutions, the Treasury hav-
ing need for the cash that will be
drawn owing to the fast falling Gus
toms receipts and the failure of Con-
gress to date to provide additional
revenue legislation.
Just before the outbreak Of the Euro
pean war the Treasury Department al
lotted $34,000,0O0 of crop moving de-
posits to various banks of the country,
principally In the south, payable In in
stallments of rs per cent each Only
one installment was sent to the banks.
Since the financial situation created by
the European war, Secretary McAdoo
has bent every energy toward having
the banks take out emergency circula-
ton. They have done this to the ex-
tent of millions, but many OF them
have been insisting on getting further
installments Of the crop moving de-
posits. These deposits would cost them
only per cent interest, while emer-
eency currency costs per cent MT.
McAdoo has not given announcement
that he will pay the remaining three
installments Of Is per cent. and 1t is
understood that he will not do SO.
Because of the reticence OF all con-
cerned it was not known today wheth-
er any local banks will lose deposits'

Nal. Kutz's Policies.

No intimation has been given by Maj.

administering the affairs of the engi-
neer department. 1t is known that the
new Engineer Commissioner is much
interested in the problem of providing
an increased water supply for Wash
ington. He has already given it much
study and is believed to have definite
plan in mind.
w. A. Mcfarland, superintendent of
the District water department, in his
recent annual report, pointed out that
at the present rate Washington is
growing, demand for water will neces-
state an increased supply being pro-
vided by not later than 1890.
The water department just now is
experiencing one Of the dullest periods
it has ever known. More than fifty
laborers have been dismissed during
the past few weeks. No effort Is made
to fill minor vacancies occurring in the
department.
The situation Is explained by the fact
that suburban real estate develop
ment, necessitating water main ex-
tensions, is practically at standstill.
and that the department is without
funds for undertaking any extensive
Improvements of any character.
