flying and encouraging to the people
Of the District, especially to those en-
gagged in business and to those hold
ing District real estate. To me, as I
am sure IL will be to all other inter-
ested persons here. the most gratifying
and encouraging fact in Mr.. buttons
report is the very marked decrease
during the past fiscal year of recorded
business failures in the District. there
having been but two recorded during
1916. while there were eleven during
the preceding fiscal year.
another pleasing fact is that there
were 104 more deeds conveying real
estate recorded during the past year
than We're filed during the previous
fiscal year. Then. too. our records
show that during the fiscal year ended
June 80 1916. there We're ten more
capitalized corporations organized I'M
der the laws of the District than were
formed the year before, the increased
capitalization being considerably more
than during 1915. IN increase of $780,

seen much of political life, He was
in the Ohio legislature at the age Of
