this remarkable record of growth was
practically maintained. and, notwith-
standing the adverse conditions OF the
year that have decreased bank clearlnEs
in the entire United states over IS per
cent compared with the record In the en-
tire country In 1918 yet the Lincoln record
goes on with practically the same In
crease that was made the year previous.
II is an index of the steadiness OF Lin
coin business and an index Of the slight
way in which unusual conditions have
disturbed this city. There were no addl-
tional banks in Lincoln in 1914 TO increase
clearings, the same number Of banks boz
ing in business at the close OF 1914 that
there were at the close OF 1913, The fol-

west In the number of companies and the
volume OF their business.
Lincoln. too. is proud of its suburbs.
which contribute their share to its COM
mercial educational and industrial great
mesa Havelock has a population OF 400,
and Is the center Of the locomotive in
dustry of the Burlington system. Uni
versity Place. the seat OF Nebraska wes-
leyan university has $500 population.
Bethany, where Cotner university is 10
Gated, has !. 200 population. College View,
the home OF Union college, has 1900 pop
ulation. At Burnham the largest stock
feeding yards on the Burlington system
are maintained and there also is one Of
the largest brick manufacturing plants
in the state. At Lakeview the Burlington
has located the largest and costliest
gravity freight yards and roundhouses on
it's lines. In the city proper the Missouri
Pacific the Chicago & Northwestern, the
Union Pacific and the Rock Island rail-
roads have terminals, including round
houses, making Lincoln also the center Of
railroad industry in this section. These
send out eighty passenger trains from
Lincoln daily.
The banking power OF the city is pro.
portioned to its Importance CONNER
cially. Twelve strong banks meet these
needs. -Four Of these are national banks,
three state and two are savings institu-
tons The remaining three are trust
companies doing a banking business.
Equally strong building and loan asso-
Citations and investment companies care
for local needs, while ten financially
solid companies control farm loan BUSH
ness amounting yearly into the millions.
The city boasts also OF all the other
appurtenances of metropolitan existence.
Ten theaters, specializing in the various
forms Of the drama, afford entertainment
for thousands. Fifty-two newspapers and
periodicals are published here. with ag-
gregate calculations that place Lincoln,

lication centers OF the country. Three OF
these newspapers are dailies, alert and
well-edited, while among the weeklies the
leaders in circulation are BryRn's Com
moner and the Freie Presse Germany.
Eighteen hotels, five of them ranking
high in equipment and service, house the
travelling public. These help also TO take
care of the numerous conventions, state
and national, that are attracted 70 LIN
coin by it's central location and It's ease
OF access from all points of the campass.
Postal Receipts.
An unfailng barometer OF city's BUSH
ness importance is the volume of busi-
ness done by its postofflce. In 1914 the
total postal receipts were S456, Ss1.5S. or
double the figure OF ten years ago. So
rapid has been its expansion that the
government has authorized the construc-
ton of a $4,000 addition to the original
structure, completed but few years ago.
The salary roll of the Lincoln office in
Guiding the railway mail clerks whose
headquarters are here, totals over 1895, 900
yearly. Lincoln is also depository for
the surplus money order funds Of several
hundred Nebraska postmasters; a de-
pository for certain surplus money OF the
postal savings bank and a subagency for
the distribution OF postal supplies for a
large territorial area.
Railroad Revenues.
The total revenue of the five railway
systems that serve Lincoln. from freight
and passenger receipts in 1914, was S.
6s2 oe7, divided as follows:
Freight forwarded. cars. 1926: tons.
