1.-The regional bank will employ
between 400 and 500 persons" accord
ing to William Hurd Hillyer, a prom
inent financier of Atlanta, discussing
the functions of the big institution TO
he established in that city. Thls es-
tImate is based on the probable func-
tions Of the bank as proposed py the
organization committee, taxing otner
large institutions as the standard. Inc
popular notion that the regional oanK
p,iil he merely a clearing house for
checks is an error. l have given the
subject considerable study, and II
would seem that the proper function
Of each regional bank will be the re-
discounting of commercial paper 1or
the member banks in that section. In
order to handle these redlscounts III
telligently an exhaustive system oI
credit reports will have to be prepar-
ed. The act does not give member
hank the right to present any paper
hearing interest Endorsement and I'M
neratiyely demands rediscount On
the contrary, only such bills are ac-
ceptable for rediscount as conform 10
certain specified requirements touch-
ing their origin and general character
For example, a Federal reserve pank'
before accepting a bill for re-diScount,
must be satisfied that the bill is
drawn in settlement of bona fide ag-
ricultural or commercial TRANSACTION,
and especially that ii does not repre-
sent money borrowed for reinvestment
in real estate or stocks and DonoS
This doubtless requires speclal forms
of notes and / do not very Wen see
how the regional bank can intelligent
ly pass on these bills without more or
less elaborate systems OF aff1daVlts
I'D ranorts In fact il has been Sc
riously proposed, in order to carry out
the manifest requirements OF the act.
IN have all commercial borrowers
whose bills are regularly to be USED
for rediscount at the central reserve
bank, keep their financial statements
on file with the reserve bank and nave
all other paper registered at that in
stitution 1t is pointed out that only
in this way would it be practicable for
the reserve bank to keep track Of all
its actual and potential borrowers, or
rather of all the firms and corpora
lions whose paper might be presented
nv the member banks for rediscount.
There are 372 banks in the Atlanta
district with capital and surplus or
s77.O00,000 and deposits OF something
like $500, 90, 900. Allowing only an av-
eraee of thirty customers to bank
whose paper would be available for
rediscount in Atlanta, this would make
il necessary TO keep more than 10000
credit files at the regional institution
with frequent and accurate reports for
each. When these factors are taken
into consideration, together with the
other functions of foreign and domes-
tic exchange, | do not very we'll see
how the regional bank located at At
lanta can get along with less than 400
and perhaps 500 clerks

THE fear that Pink boil worm" u
dangerous cotton pest, may be intro
duced into the United States through
the accidental presence of seed in lint
cotton received by spinners, led to a
warning last Saturday from the Fed
eral horticultural board. Cotton mills,
especially in The south. are advised to
destroy by burning all seed that may
be found in bales imported of Egyp-
tian cotton. The seed it is stated, are
likely to contain larvae of the destruct-
i've pest. Last year quarantine was
promulgated against importations OF
cotton seed from all foreign countries
on account of fear of the pink boil
worm. The board said in the warning
there is special danger from seed in in
ported cotton because this baled cot
ton is shipped to southern cotton mills
which in some cases are in the imme-
diate vicinity of cotton fields which
would form a ready breeding place for
any larvae that might escape

State President
 Urges Cooperation

Mir. Johnston was given "The State Association as his topic and he said ir, part:
 II am very much interested to note that your campaign of advertising Plainville as an interior summer re- sort is having such good results. This is evident from the large number of prominent New Britain merchants whom I notice among your members and who I trust will not so wholly submit to your charms as to desert us entirely.
 'I am distinctly pleased to see this growing good feeling between these two hustling communities, as we have much in common and need each others assistance in developing our manufacturing interests and in cheap ening transportation so we may com pete with all parts of the country.
 State Association.
 "I appreciate the courtesy of your invitation to be present at this meet ing and thank you for this opportun- ity of getting acquainted with you. l am very glad to accept the oppor- tunity to bring before you in a few words the work of the State associa- ton and the necessity of the co-opera- tion of the men interested in business in order that our association may ac- compIish definite good in this work We advocate the closer study of our statewide problems and the bringing about of higher standard of busi- ness ideas. I want you to think of the State Business Mems association as a body of men working for the up- building of this comm monwealth, earn estly studying the many broader perplexities brought about by the rad ical changes in not only ways of do- ing business, but in our population and in it's increasing desire to con- gregate in the cities, with the conse- quent lessening production in the necessities of life. AS a body of men cooperate because of these rapidly changing conditions and whose mem- bership has changed from that of the retail merchant of fourteen years ago when the state association was first formed to it's present membership of nearly fourteen thousand men-em- bracing merchant, manufacturer. far mer, professional men and last, but not least many laboring men.
 County Improvements.
 ''The several Business Mems asso- citations in Norwich, New London and Willimantic have already taken up the county improvement in New Lon don county and have aroused much enthusiasm and are doing good work. We have eleven Business Mems as
New Britain herald., 1914-05-01

sociations in Hartford county-Hart- ford, New Britain, Manchester, Glas- tonbury, Plainville, Southington, En- field, Bloomfield, Winsocket, Windsor, West Hartford, all fine hustlng asso- ciations and we stand ready to as- sist you in every way posslble-as every member is of necessity d busI- ness man and needs our help as we in the business world need his. l hope you will seriously consider the problems of our great transportation system at the present time and realize that every kind of business is largely dependent upon the transportation fla cilities furnished to it and that our de- velopment is in direct proportion to the efficiency of our transportation service. Efficiency and time is the thing-the cost of the service is really a much smaller consideration. If the railroads give us efficient service they must receive reasonable remunera = tion-and it is vastly more important that the farmer and the business man get prompt and good service than it is to have cheap rates and inehi- cient service"
New Britain herald., 1914-05-01

The post-prandial exercises were opened by Stanley $. Gwillim, the en-

rate, and I hope other good things
 will follow and they can and will if the men who are here tonight will work together in a united and un
 selfish way for the betterment of our town. . '"The matter of a sewer system has
 been agitated to considerable eX-
 tent during the past year, and con- siderable time has been spent by the sanitary sewer committee in con nection with this matter; and a plan has been worked out which appears to be feasible one for good sew craze system in Plainville. At a meeting held short while ago, a very intelligent report was made by an engineer employed by the sewer committee, and large number Of citizens who were present on that occasion received a good idea Of what this would mean to Plainvilie. 1 What could be better cause to work for than a good sewer system? 1 Tt surely makes a better and 1 healthier town, and I believe every good citizen should-if necessary-,r some little sacrifice to himself, en- deavor to boost" this p-u.ecr and l give it what assistance he can
 There is probably no question as 1 to how much good an adequate sewer would be to Plainville, and it is be- l lieved that the plan now being worked on can be carried to a finish with very pleasing and satisfactory results to the citizens of Plainvilie. l Our slogan this coming year should 1 be sidewalks and sewers.
 '"The cleanup campaign of a year ago worked out very nicely with the l assistance of the selectmen.
 l We will have another such clean Up this year with the assistance Of 1 w. J. Johnson, our ,selectman, the 1 week of May Az. Notice will be l given through the New Britain Her !! ald' and possibly other papers, of
 the route taken by the teams covel-
 ing the various streets. Let us all
 join in making this a successful
 cleanup week along the same lines
 as conducted last year.

 surrendered to Postmaster Clark,

 stories and devoting a. brief period to serious consideration of the associa-
 tion and it's work, presented F. H. ;, Johnston of New Britain.

Let us hope none of us

country Let us hope none of us feel like that towards Plainville.
 "I have been asked what real bene- fit is derived from attending our an- nual banquet. I would say it seems worth while for men to meet at our annual banquet like this and forget their business, political and profess sionaI differences, put their feet under the same table, touch elbows, and as- sociate in a spirit of friendly inter- course. It is often possible under these conditions to get the spirit of cooperation which is essential to the welfare and improvement of our town.
 During the past seven years exis tence of this association, I believe it has been of some service to this com- munity, and much more work that can and ought to be done awaits us'
 Individual Work.
 "The measure of our accomplish ments in the future will depend large ly upon the work done by the individ- ual members and the various com mittees of our association.
 From my point of view, the things we need most in Plainville are q good sewer system, more sidewalks and better post office.
 Undoubtedly, there are other things, but it is earnestly hoped the coming year will see something done along these lines. Considerable mis- sionary work has been done in the past year by the committees of this association on the sewer and side walk questions, and we live in hopes that it will show good results in the near future. Our postmaster, P. J. Prior, is I believe, doing good work towards improving the post office con-

our part towards the uplifting and the betterment of Plainville.
 We have surely reached the get together stage tonight, touching el- bows, and shoulder to shoulder, i'll fact, if we crowded any more in, it might be necessary for two to eat off the same plate. What 8 splen- did accomplishment, if We could get out a crowd like this for the sole purpose of solving the problems that confront our little town, all pulling together for the betterment of the community in which we live.
 Don't let us be like the story told by General Gordon about a Confed- crate soldier.
