In response to his request the sub
committee. through its secretary, sup
piled the grand commander with a COPY
of the will of the late William r. Smith

matter. including the facts as to the
limited authority of the subcommittee,
stating specifically that it was the

the trustees have been earnestly seek

this wish, in a proper manner consis-

BANKS WILL EXPEDITE
LIBERTY BOND BUYING
Will Sell at the Rate of 10 Per Cent
Down and 10 Per Cent
Monthly.

An agreement to extend still greater
facilities to the public for purchasing
liberty bonds has been reached by the
District of Columbia Bankers Associa-
ton, members of which will now sell
bonds in unlimited amounts to pur-
chasers who can pay 10 per cent down
and absorb the balance at the rate of
10 per cent a month. The banks will
finance such purchases at the rate of
only 4 per cent, taking the purchasers
note for ninety days. Hitherto this ac-
commodation has been extended only
to purchasers of $50 and 500 bonds.
Adoption of this liberal policy was
agreed on at a meeting of the associa-
ton last night on motion of John
Poole, president of the Federal National
Bank, and chairman of the liberty loan
committee

The report also refers to the uniform

Mr. Smith. and it states he has indicated
the Willingness of the council to accept the
trust and house the Smith Burnsiana in a

generally to carry out the trust contained

William L. Boyden, to confer with your
board at all times on this subject, and
to make proper arrangements for the
carrying out OF the proposal condition

The regrettable death Of Mr. Richard
son, which occurred shortly thereafter,
caused no change in the favorable atti-
tude Of the constituted authorities Of the
Scottish Rite Temple. Shortly after quail
flying as the successor of Mr.. Richardson
the present sovereign grand commander,
George +. Moore. took up the matter
where his predecessor had left off. and
from that day until the present, it is de-
clared, Grand Commander Moore and his
associates have exhibited a hearty spirit
of cooperation and have offered every
opportunity for an investigation, not only
of the internal construction of the build
ing and plans for its operation. but also
of the powers of the corporation under
its charter to provide facilities for carry
ing out the terms Of the trust reposed by
the will, either directly or as transferee of
the trust or as an agency Of the board of

1t was found that no rooms could be
spared in the present building of the
Washington Public Library: that there
was need of enlargement of the build
ing to meet adequately existing de-
mands upon it, and that efforts had been
made in the past to secure this enlarge
ment.
A renewed effort was made to obtain
an extension of the present library
building. which would both honorably
house the Smith Burnsiana and also
meet the growing needs of the library
itself but it was not successful.
Then it was that the subcommittee,

Smith Burnsiana was first brought to
the attention of the late Sovereign
Grand Commander James d. Richard
son, in the fall of 1913, and that he
showed very great interest in and SYM
pathy with the idea of the new Scottish
Rite Temple being made the repository
for the collection as a whole. and indt-
Gated a desire to bring the matter to

Motion Adopted Unanimously.

All of the local banks were not rep
resented, but the motion was passed
unanimously, and it is not thought any
of the banks will fail to follow the new
course. There was some discussion as
to whether the financing of large pur-
chases at 4 per cent should be confined
to regular customers of a bank, and
whether the banks should agree to
carry the loan until maturity at per
cent 1t was finally agreed, however.
that the banks should extend the &C
commodation to old and new customers
alike, and that the rate of interest dur
ing the last six months of the loan
should be arranged at the time the
ninety-day note matured.

Reports on Progress.

In reporting on the work being done
by the liberty loan committee, Mr.
Poole said it had obtained 54,774 lines
of advertising in the local newspapers
at cost of s1S6153 whereas If this
space had been taken al the regular
advertising rates it would have cost
approximately $4,000.
Four men were elected to serve with
the officers of the association of the
council of administration. They were
Mr.. Poole, w. T. Galliher, II. H Mckee
and George o. Watson. Mr.. Galliher,
as chairman of the committee on revi-
sion of the bylaws, asked for further
time and accordingly will report at the
December meeting of the association.
AS chairman of the committee on the
Intangible property tax he reported
that the committee. cooperating with
other forces, has succeeded in having
the rate in the District reduced one
tenth of l per cent.

THE bankers have a wide influence

the welfare of the country demands
they use 1t to the utmost in selling

are used to coming to the banker for
advice as to financial matters. and he
should place the purchase of govern
ment bonds before them in the most
attractive manner. The government
rightly expects the bankers to finance

Ranks Second as Collection.

Il have examined the catalogue and
am impressed of the number-between
seven and eight hundred-of editions of
Burns and the rarity of a number of
editions, to say nothing Of some chap
books. These make a valuable nucleus
about which are gathered works having
to do with Burns, so that the collection
is beyond what they have in the Brit

only excelled by the collection in the
