tutionS.

All the banks in Omaha we're
designated 1919 official repositories
for city funds by the city council
Thursday.
The operation of advertising for
bids for city funds" was declared to
be farce. Only one bank respond
ed to the advertisement. This was
the Merchants National bank and
it made bid of 2 per cent, which
is the minimuniF rate established
by statute.
The city funds will be distributed
as heretofore among all the banks
at per cent interest. A rate of 3
per cent can be secured on time de-
pests, Commissioner of Finance
IRE said, but the funds fuctuate so
much that it is not practicable to
make time deposits.
The state gets 5 per cent on
some of its money in some banks
out in the state" said Mr.. IRE.
"And we could get that rate. too, if
we wanted to go out in the state
with any of our funds. Under the
present law we cannot deposit
money outside of the county"
The city funds 60 up and down
in a wide range. Soon after July l
they are up in the millions and to-
ward the end of the fiscal year they
drop to almost nothing.
Mayor Smith called attention to
the fact that the banks are charging
a higher rate of interest on the
loans they make now, but haven't
offered any higher rate on deposits.

Prospects for Big

found the manufacturers enthusi-

building cars on a peace-time basis
and also ovT the Omaha Automo-

There will be no slump in prices
of cars for six months and probably
rot for a year. said Mr.. Powell.
The manufacturers are closing up
their war contracts as fast as posi-
Bile but it will take considerable time
to get supplies and material enough
to return to 100 per cent peace time
construction. The factories are
filled with materials for building war
cars and supplies and these must be
finished up and cleaned out.
