President Wilson in all parts of the

COMMISSIONS To DECIDE UPON
ALL MUNICIPAL IMPROVEMENTS
Each Section of City To Send Representatives 10 Meet
ing Of Council Monday Afternoon To Name
Citizens Wanted On The Committees

Richardsontown. Columbia Street.
Pleasant Hill. South, North and
Northwest Bogalusa are urged to
send a delegation of residents to the
meeting of the Commission Council
next Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock
when four commissioners will be
created which will have much to do
towards deciding upon the new
schools. new city hall. new fire de.
partment and Jail, as we'll as extend.
ing the water and sewer system and
placing the streets in good condition.
At a special meeting Of the Com
mission council Monday afternoon
Mayor Sullivan stated that he
thought it would be best to get one
or more citizen from each section
OF the city to act on each commits
sion. He was of the opinion that
if live wires were placed on each
commission that everything in con-
nection with the improvements
would result in Boealusa getting
100 cents for every dollar expended
as well as coming as near possible
to pleasing the greatest number Of
tax payers. The location Of the
various new improvements. the Sc
lecting of architects and all the
work connected with various build.
ings will be decided upon BY the
various commissions pending the
app1 bal Of the commission council.
We don't want any figure heads on
any of these commissions and we
want the livest wires there are in
the city" said mayor Sullivan. We
will give each section of the city
any opportunity of selecting their
own representatives and we hope
that each section of the city will
send at least five or six well known
citizens to the meeting next Monday
anfternoon and tell us who they
want from their section to act. There
will be plenty of important work
for a few weeks and without any
pay but everything this commission
accomplishes will be a living monu-
ment to the city as well as to the
members of the commission"
At the same meeting there were
a few changes in the Sewer and
WaterlBoard. J. B. Lindsey. H. E.
Baumgarten, D. 7. Gushing and
Jesse johnson were appointed to
fill the vacancies caused by the res
ienation of W. L. Wuescher, w. H.
Sullivan, J. Y, Sanders, Jr. and
E. L. Middleton who will serve on
the commission as a member of
Commissioner of Public Utilities.
1t is expected that the meeting to
select the other four commission
next Monday afternoon will be one
of the largest attended in the his
tory of the council.

INCREASE IN PANAMA
CANAL TOLLS PROBABLE
Statement for Year Shows Ex-
penSeS Were More Than
Double Receipts

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-Possibility
of a recommendation for an increase in
Panama canal tolls is seen in a state
ment today of canal expenses and reve-
nues for the year ended June 80. EX-
penses amounted to more than double the
receipts of the canal proper, though if
the revenues from the Panama railroad
are taken into consideration the excess
of expenditures over revenues would be
only 6.77 per cent, and had there been
no slides during the year the revenues
would have exceeded expenses.
No allowance is made, however, for
a depreciation and interest fund which
would require So, 900, 900 a year. Total
expenses of the combined canal and rail-
road were s29. S27, 5O4 and the revenues
were $27.339.SSS, or s1,9S7,615 less than
the expenses.
The statement shows that the Suez
canal. whose tonnage has been falling
off rapidly. increased it's rate twice this
year and a further increase is announc-
ed for January 1 which will make them
$3.50 per ton for loaded, and 81 per ton
for ballast ships. Panama tolls have
remained at $1.2O and 70 cents respec-
lively.

TO TEST EFFICIENCY OF
YOUNG AND OLD MEN
Committee Plans to Upset
Theory Men of 40 to 90
Are Unfit for Work
(Rv Associated Press.l

CHICAGO, Dec S.-Tests of the eff
cheney of men between forty-five and
sixty-five alongside of an equal number
of young men were started today by a
committee Of fifteen employers recently
organized with Benjamin ]. Rosenthal,
a Chicago capitalist, at its head. The
committee was organized primarily, Mr..
Rosenthal said, to upset the fallacious
theory that men between the ages of
forty-five and sixty-tive are fit only for
teh scrap heap" q
In response to an advertisement In
the newspapers several hundred applica-
tions for work from men who had
reached middle age or beyond have been
received by the committee and a large
force of clerks, loaned by business
houses, today began to sift and clas-
sify them.
: Twenty middle-aged men whom we
have enlisted will be employed by one
of the largest houses in Chicago" said
Mr.. Rosenthal. THE head of this house
to make an efficiency test will put them
in the correspondence department.
Alongside of them will be twenty young
men, and each Individual will be given
the same work to do. They will open.

GREAT INCREASE IN
BANK DEPOSITS IS
SHOWN BY EXAMINER
Banks in Georgia Show an In
crease of More Than $780,
100000 Over Last Year at
This Time

State bank deposits in Georgia have
increased more than thirty million dol
lars this year over last. This fact and
other interesting figures are contained
in a statement issued Saturday by State
Bank Examiner w. ]. Speer, who has just
finished consolidating the reports made
by the state banks under the call issued
by the banking department on September
10 this year, which he has compared with
the consolidation of the reports made
on the call of September 81, 1915.
Mr.. Speer points out that there has
been a very large increase in assets,
deposits, cash in banks, surplus and in
loans and discounts, as well as a mark
ed decrease in borrowed moneys This
condition, he says, significantly reflects
a condition of prosperity now prevailing
among the banks of Georgia, as well as
in all lines of business.
The wonderful increase in bank de-
posits will, in the opinion of Mr. Speer,
be greatly augmented by the end of the
year, as there is a steady flow of money
into the banks.
In weighing the comparative table of
figures it should be borne in mind that
they do not include any of the national
banks, which are under supervision of
the federal treasury department. These,
too, show remarkable gains in deposits
and surplus.
Following are the consolidated figures
for both years, showing the condition of
the banks at the time the calls were
made:

Presbyterians Of the
South May Withdraw
From Federal Council

ST. LOUIS, Dec. "a threat of the
southern Presbyterian church to with
draw from the federal council Of
churches of Christ was presented at the
quadrennial convention today when
Rev. w. S. Jacobs, of Houston, Tex, in
troduced a memorial from the general
assembly of the Southern church.
This stated that the activities of the
federal council in international matters
and in social reform were inconsistent
with the object of the federation and
subversive of the principle of separa-
tion of church and state.
The council adopted a resolution de-
claring that there was no conflict be-
tween the declared purposes of the
church federation and it's activities in
behalf of social reform and that the
memorial from the southern church was
based ou a miscOnception. The presi-
dent was authorized to appoint a COM
mittee toattend the next general as
sembly of the soutern church and eX-
plain.
