RICHMOND PLEADS FOR
FEDERAL RESERVE BANK
Delegation of Virginians and North
Carolinians Present Claims
Before Committee.

Reasons why Federal reserve banl
should be located in Richmond, Va, were
presented yesterday to the Federal banl
organization committee by a delegation
of 10 men from Virginia and North Caro-
lima
Gov. Mann and Gov-elect Stuart headed
a delegation of seventy-five men from
Richmond. Nearly all of the Virginia
delegation in Congress attended the hear
ing.
The petitioners outnumbered by about
to 1 the Baltimore and Washington pc
titioners who previously pleaded for the
location of a Federal reserve bank in
their respective cities
George Seay, banker. representing the
financial interests of Richmond. explained
that a reserve bank in Richmond should
cover the following territory: The Dis
triot of Columbia, Virginia. North Caro-
lima. South Carolina, Georgia, FLORIDA.
and parts of Tennessee, Kentucky, and
West Virginia.
Mr.. Seay explained that Richmond. be-
ing within short distance OF the great
seaport at Norfolk, and a big railroad
center, is the natural gateway through
which passes trade between the North
and South.
He asserted that the location of a re-
serve bank in Richmond would not dis
turb the general trend of business.
Among those at the hearing were Sec
retary of the Navy Daniels. Representa-
tive Montague, former governor of Vir-
ginia; Senator Swanson. former governor
of Virginia: Senator Martin, and Rep
resentative Carter Glass.

Insurance Loans Raised.

One of the big insurance companies has
found it advisable to raise the rate on its
policy loans from 5 to 6 per cent. There
by it has directed attention to very
heavy borrowing on policies in some of
the other large companies. The New
York Life Insurance Company, for in
stance. shows s125, ,5O7 $50, or about one
sixth of its assets, Joaned out to policy
holders at per cent. While there is no
reason TO believe, as there was in 1907,
when securities were selling at prices far
below any fair estimate OF their value.
that any considerable quantity of these
leans were contracted for the purpose Of
buying securities there probably has
been a pretty fair amount of purchas-
ing on this account, especially since the
high cost OF living has eaten so deeply
into incomes that the old rate of return
on Investments is insufficient.
The trouble with money borrowed on
policies is that 1t is not apt to return to
the lender until security yields have d.
minished so much that the Insurance
company has lost a chance for profitable
investment.
