While the town council is passing
ordinances concerning automobiles,
if it is not now the law, an ordi-
nance should be passed requiring all
vehicles to drive on the right hand
side of the street and when they stop
to stop on that side, and if it is now
the law it would be a good idea to
have it enforced.
Another rule that should be adopt
ed and enforced is to prohibit auto
mobiles being parked on either side
of some of our narrow streets where
traffic is necessarily heavy. 1t fire.
quently happens especially on busy
days that it is difficult for wagons and
other vehicles from the country to get
through.
Then there IS now an ordinance OH
the books requiring automobiles to
slow down at certain crossings and to
sound the gong. This ordnance is
more observed in the breach than in
the performance Of course, it should
not be necessary to nave any laws
at all on these subjects, but un:or-
tunately there are many drivers Of
cars who seem to be entirely indif-
ferent to the safety and lie not only
O: others but of themselves as we'll.
The wonder is there have been no
more serious accidents.

FINANCIAL SITUATION
l>iN SPLENDID SHAPE
Nc.idGo Gives Assurance That There
VIII BE No Shortage OF CuFren-
cy in the United States.

Washingt n, Aug. AFTER a care
ful investigation Of conditions
throughout the country Secretary Nc
Adoo III a formal statement tonight
declared the financial situation to be
excellent and announced there will be
sufficient currency to move crops and
meet all demands Of business.
The passage by tae house and SEN
ate this a ternoon of the amendment
of the federal reserve act tne state
ment says, "vesting the secretary Of
the treasury with power to issue ad-
ditional national bank currency ex-
ceeding even $500,000,000 to protect,
the business situation in this country,
puts at rest any question as to the
ability of banks to take care o. the
situation. There need be no fear
whatever of insufficient currency to
move the crops and to meet the de-
mands of business The bill, as
amended, authorizes the secretary, IN
his discretion, to permi- national
banks to have outstanding maxi
mum of circulating notes equivalent
to 125 per cent. of their unimpaired
capital and surplus. This provision
Will enable banks which have now
outstanding circulation equal the"
capital stock to secure large amount
of addition circulation. Applicants
have been received from national cur
rency associations throughout tle
country fcr additional currency and
the applications are being promptly
responded 20. In many casese banks
have applied for additional currency
merely as a precautionary measure.
The situation throughout the coun-
try is excellent and no greater tes-
timony to the inherent strength of our
financial and economical position and
condition could be given than the way
in which the country has withstood
the shock of the greatest European
disturbance that has occurred in the
last 100 years.
The unanimous vote in the house
and senate is an inspiring evidence of
patriotism O. the representatives of
the American people who. whenever
there is a threatened danger, forget
party lines and present a solid front
in support OF the common interests"
the treasury department continued
today to ship out additional currency
to associations throughout the coun-
try but the move was looked upon as
purely precautionary.
The fact that President Wilson to-
day nominated F. A. Delano for the
federal reserve board was taken to
indicate that tae administration hopes
the federal reserve banking system
can be put in operation within a COM
paratively short time
President Wilson tonight signed the
amendment to the Aldrich-Vreeland
law vesting the secretary of the treas
ury with discretionary power as to the
amount Of currency to be issued un-
der that act.
Late today the secretary sent to
the house a request for an emergeny
appropriation of $3O1,456 for the
printing Of 5000 sheets Of national
bank and United States notes.
