immediate consideration to tho prob
lem Of distribution. Tho program is
briefly as follows:
"T To provide an adequate and reg
ular supply Of coal to the railroads.
which is indicated by tho order Issued
in connection with fuel supply of the
Pennsylvania Railroad. which has been
extended to include the Baltimore and
Ohio Railway, and will shortly be ap-
piled to other roads. This will avoid
the necessity, as Is now the practice,
OF holding several thousand cars Of
coal under load for fuel purposes. 1t
Will also eliminate the necessity of
transporting coal from one district to
another, which will result In q saving
both of cars and motive power, OF
which tho railroads are short. 1t will
further avoid confiscation of coal which
mas been necessary in some instances
in order to provide the railroad with
sufficient fuel.
When the regular supply of fuel
has been accomplished. we expect to
issue rule combining coal cars to the
coal trade. with such exceptions as are
return OF empty coal cars to the orig
mating line.
g. The matter OF preference in
movement of coal cars. both loaded
and empty. over other slow freight Is
receiving consideration. and 1t will I'M
doubtedly be necessary to issue a rule
at an early date that such preference
be given to movement Of food and fuel
The situation to-day Ia the railroads
are congestcd and are unable to move
to the market the coal which is offered
them for transportation. This is due
to the enormous amount OF freight
which they are called on to handle
We believe the program thus briefly
outlined, when put into effect. will re-
suit in an increased car supply to the
mine, and will accomplish an increased
production sufficient for the require
mcnts.'"
DR. Garfield had nothing to say about
reported coal famines In Chicago and
elsewhere. He said the fuel admins
tration would take steps to meet any
condition reported by the State fuel
administrators.

URGES Liberal POLICY
IN LIBERTY BOND LOANS
Governor of Fifth Reserve District
Writes All Financial
Institutions.
REPLY TO MANY INQUIRIES
Says Banks Should Encourage All
People Of Moderate Means to In
vest and Pay From Income When
and as Received.

That all banking Institutions will
adopt liberal policy in lending money
on Liberty loan bonds, is indicated I'm a
letter sent to every financial institution
in the Fifth Federal Reserve District
last night by George ]. Seay, governor
of the Federal Reserve Bank Of Rich
mond. This letter was written in reply
to daily inquiries as to the policy and
regulations of the Federal Institution
In making Goans upon the bonds. and
what policy member banks should
adopt toward their customers
Because OF the strict provision In tho
Federal reserve act, the reserve bank
can only make direct loans to member
banks for period not longer than tlf-
teen days. The reserve bank, however,
can rediscount for member banks such
paper running not longer than ninety
days at the time of the discount. When
the paper is secured by the pledge of
government bonds, the present rate Of
rediscount is 1-2 per cent. whether
secured by 3 1-2 or per cent bonds.
The letter also states:
Loans cannot be made by n national
bank to any person, firm or corpora
ton in an amount in excess OF 10 per
cent of the combined capital and sur
plus of the bank Cor not in any event
to exceed 30 per cent of the capital
stock). Nor can the Federal reserve
Bank discount through member bank
the paper OF customers of non-mem-
berS given for loans In excess Of this
10 per cent. The Comptroller of the
Currency has ruled that any national
bank may sell to a customer bonds ac-
tually owned by 1t and take the note or
the customer In payment without ref
erenco to this 10 per cent limit.
by special ruling of the Federal Re-
serve Board the eligible commercial
paper OF customers Of non-member
banks, or their paper given for the
purchase OF Liberty bonds. or the direct
obligations Of non members. accompa-
MED by the affidavit that the proceeds
of such obligations were given for the
purchase of Liberty bonds, may be dis
the Endorsement of member banks.
Such paper may run up to ninety days
from the date of discount. When such
paper is secured by Liberty bonds the
present rate TO member banks is 3 1-2
per cent.
"All banking institutions should
adopt n most liberal policy in financing
tho purchase of Liberty bonds made in
anticipation of assured revenue or in
come, with n reasonable margin OF
course All people of moderate means
should be given every oncouragem
TO buy bonds in this way, to he paid for
out of income when and as received.
THE people should take the loan,
and the banks should aid them to the
utmost-borrowng to pay for bonds
for other war purposes has the right OF
way. The loan cannot be floated with
out borrowing in anticipation of in
come, and a most liberal lending policy
should be adopted by all banking insti-
tutions."

WIDEN HERMITAGE ROAD
administrative Bonrd Rapidly Comrict.
Ing Pinns for Long
improvements,

Plans for the widening of the Her
mitage Road, which has been conten.-
plated by the Administrative Board for
several months, are rapidly being com
pleted. City Engineer Boiling was re-
guested yesterday by the board to
check up blue print of the proposed
improvement from Leigh Street north
wardly to Howard Street
Mr. Boiling was also directed to take
up with officials of the Richmond,
Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad
Company the question of the railroad
defeating certain land for the widen
ing of the road near the intersection of
Leigh Street Traffic at this point is
said TO be badly congcsted. and the
board plans to relieve the situation as
quickly as possible.
Providing that the railroad company
will dedicate the necessary land for
the Improvement free of all costs, the
board offers to defray all expenses or

conform to the new street

cause of their prosperity as the re-
suit OF record prices for bumper crops.
In this connection, the Virginia-Caro-
lima Chemical Company announced yes
terday that 1t would accept until &C.

It's products in the Fifth and Sixth
Reserve Districts. Atlanta is tho re-
serve city in the Sixth District, and
the chemical company's business is
confined almost entirely to the South.
Many stores and business concerns are
also accepting the bonds at their face
value during the campaign.
Governor Seay yesterday sent the
following statement to banking insti-
buttons throughout the Fifth District:
"A few reports como to us from
every part of the district to the ef-
feet that prospective purchasers of
new Liberty per cent bonds arc hold
ing of because they have not yet
received the 31-2 per cent bonds. or
arc not able to exchange 3I-2 per
cent bonds or interim certificates for
new 4 per cent bonds. In the first
place, interim certificates are the OBJ
legations of the United States, and in
OfS'J ACopCSN hlS JUST us ROOQ as
the actual bonds. and the exchange
when made mus. be at date and
upon terms yet to be prescribed by
the department
ANY delay on the part OF this bank
in furnishing 31-2 per cent bonds in
exchange for interim certificates has
been due TO the inability OF the gov
crnment to furnish the BIZ per cent
4,
tions required. particularly tho small
er denominations. The 4 per cent bonds
to be exchanged for the 31-2 per cent
bonds are identical with the 3I-a per
cent bonds. as to maturity OF prin-
ciDal and interest and terms Of re-
dcmptton. They run for thirty years
and are redeemable at the option Of
the government in fifteen years The
interest periods are June Is and Dc.
cember Is.
The second Liberty loan 4 per cent
bonds run Tor twenty-five years, and
are redeemable at the option VI the
government in ten years. The inter-
est periods are November Is and May
Is. Thus the government has been
compelled TO furnish thu ee serieo OF
bonds at the same time. and the un-
dertakins has been too great to per-
init 1t to furnish all denominations OF
bonds. new or old. as fast as called
for by purchasers
PLEASE give your customers and the
public to understand that by wait

interim certificates or 31-2 pcr cent
bonds for new bonds. they are indulg-
