RESERVE BOARD
ADVISES CHECK
CONTINUED from page -

of certain interests to have the fed
eraI reserve system absorb ninety
day notes or other short term paper
accepted with the privilege of repeat
ed renewals. The board had per-
sistently opposed any such effort to
destroy liquidity Of the banks as
sets, on which the system was bas-
ed, the report said, but il admit
ted that the difficulties Of private
and corporate financing were so great
as TO justify action by congress.
The most serious problem Of COR
pOrate financing has been removed
by government operation Of railroads
says the boards report, but the
situation is still serious.
THE board, therefore, respectful
ly suggests early consideration by
congress Of the problem Of corporate
financing in the belief that no salts
factory solution will be found that
does not involve some degree of
governmental Intervention.
Strain On Finances.
Referring to the enormous strain
on finances during the last year of
the governments war loans, and to
the aid given by the federal reserve
system, the report says:
The federal reserve note will more
speedily attain the position originally
intended for II, It is becoming the
most important constituent Of our
circulating medium responding
promptly and naturally to currency
requirements"
Earnings Of the twelve federal
reserve banks In 1917 were reported
as Sl6, S00,0O0 gross and 911,2O0, 900
net, with declared dividends Of about
R6,S00,00 The boards expenses have
been a little less than $3.50, 900 and
the cost of administering the gold
settlement fund has been only $500,
or 1-S cents per $1,000.
The entrance Of the state banks and
trust companies during the year
strengthened the system greatly
says the report. Although the gold
reserves increased enormously in
quantity. the proportion OF reserves
to deposit fell in proportion to the
expansion Of credit.
No radical amendments Of the re-
serve act are suggested, although
a few minor changes are recon-
They include: Election Of
directors OF reserve banks BY a
simpler method. Provision for print
ing bigger denominations OF federal
reserve notes. Provision for incor-
pOratlon OF foreign trade banks un-|
der federal reserve charter, and per-
for national banks to es-
taiDlIah branches In their cities.

Enw Mutations.

Chicago, Jan. 22-Only fifty minor
violations OF the coal order were
q reported yesterday. and as it is
doubtful If all of these together cost
more than a ton of fuel. Local
authorities consider that the city
was practically 100 per cent law
abiding.
All parochial and private schools
were closed today until next Mon
day, while the grade public schools,
closed for a week and scheduled for
reopening tomorrow, also will re-
main closed until next Monday. This
= is the result Of an order Of County
Fuel Administrator Raymond K. Dur
ham, who regarded the coal situa-
ton as serious enough to warrant
his action. High schools will con-
tinue to operate.
Despite Curtailment of elevator
service it was estimated that more
than so per cent of the tenants Of
Office buildings were in their usual
quarters yesterday. BY far the larger
number followed the edict Of the fuel
authorities, but in several Of the
large structures It was reported that
some Of the tenants opened radiators
and turned on electric lights.
