The Boom Commissioners,
An Almost Forgotten law

Three nominations placed on the
Board last week at the executive de-
partment at the State House call to
mind an interesting little story from
gone by days and also reminds us Of
the many laws. forgotten by most of
US, which remain on our Statute books
until brought to mind by some unusual
incident. The nominations were as
follows:
For boom commissioners-M Moses T..
Jordan Of Old Town: Charles D. Whit
tier of Passadumkeag; Isaiah w. Buzz
zell of Old Town.
The cause for these nominations is in
an old law dating back to April 5. 1854.

Crosby of Belfast, providing. for the in
corporation of the Penobscot Lumber
Association and amending the char

containing 81 sections and covering
over nine pages Of the published laws
OF that year. The section making the
authorization for the nominations
spoken of is as follows:
Section Is. There shall be appointed
by the Governor and Council annually
three commissioners whose duties it
shall be to examine all the booms, piers
and structures of the corporation and
determine what shall be done by the
said association for the security and
preservation Of said corporate property
and they shall be paid by said associa-
ton for their services.
The Governor in accordance with this
old and almost forgotten law, has
made the required nominations and
they will doubtless in due course of
time be confirmed by the Council

Minneapolis, Mimi, Jan. 10. Gross
earnings of $23S.000 and total re-
sources Of $37,487,00 as compared
with earnings Of $99,600 and resources
Of SIC, 466, 900 in 1915 are shown in the
second annual report Of the Federal
Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, issued
today by Chairman John II. Rich. Out
Of the years earnings. organization
expenses amounting to $S2,341 are en-
tirely wiped out: substantial re-
duction in the cost Of furniture ana
fixtures was made, and dividend or
$57,719 was paid. After paying operat-
ing expenses, the cost Of federal re-
serve notes issued, and it's assessment
for the expenses of the federal reserve
board, the bank carried to pront ana
loss account at the close Of the year,
$44,541. This does not include pronts
from u. S. bond operations amounting
to $22,534, which have not yet been
carried to earnings. The bank shows
a revenue during the year OF more
than $4,000 from the purchase OF
bankers acceptances, based upon the
foreign trade of the United States,
and upon the domestic movement or
grain and a revenue of more than SOB
900 from transactions in United states
bonds. It earned $60,937 from bills
discounted for its member banks.
From state and municipal warrants,
its earnings were $34,267, and its
sundry profit account, including inter-
est on transfer drafts. amounted to
| S23,53S. :,
Earnings by months show a gradual
| Improvement throughout the year, al
though the demand within the district
| was light, as indicated by the profit
| from rediscounts as compared with
/ other sources of income. The bank
closed the year with approximately
81, 600, 900 Of earning assets, and with
an excellent outlook for 1917 bust
| ness.
In it's rediscount operations with
member banks the reserve bank
handled $3.50 separate items. the total
rediscounts for the year amounting to
| $6,522,OO0. The smallest note redis-
counted was for $2s and the largest
for 100000. Paper was rediscounted
for eighty eight banks in Minnesota,
twenty-eight in North Dakota and two
in Michigan, out Of total Of 7S4 mem
| bers.
Chairman Rich notes in b. report
that conditions throughout The year
were not such as to create demand
| for rediscounts, and that business OF
this character handled by the bank
was largely confined to localities that
suffered from poor crops.
Discount rates to member banks
showed practically no huctuation dur
| ing the year. The rates on 80, so and
| 80 day paper, and upon six months
agricultural paper, remained unchang-
ed A rate of 8 1-2 per cent was es-
tabIished on March is on trade accept
ances and remained unchanged
throughout the year. A rate Of 3 per
cent upon commodity paper establish
ed to cover farmers notes collateralled
by elevator receipts, was in effect until
May Is, and was then advanced to
1-2 per cent. where it remained un-
changed throughout the remainder of
the year. The use of this rate was
small a total Of only $19,S23 being
discounted under 1t.
Large increases were made during
the year in the amount of United
