SUB TREASURY HAS
ENDED EXISTENCE
Closed by Act of Congress and
Merged With Federal
Reserve System.
BUILDING TO BE MUSEUM
Will Be Used Temporarily for
Handling Fractional, Cur
rency by L. s.

The Sub-Treasury, at Wall and Broad
streets. used by the Government as a
depository for cash and securities since
1919. passed out of existence at the close
of business last night in accordance
with an act of Congress which merged
all of the Sub-Treasurles with the Fed
eral Reserve system.
A crew of forty counters and checkers
from the Treasury Department in
Washington completed their work yes
terday and reported to Martin Nogel.
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury,
who passed from that position into pri-
vate life yesterday, that the books OF
the institution balanced to the final
penny
Approximately $500 10000 in gold and
500, 600, 600 in silver currency was trans
ferred to the Assay office. and that IN
stitution. according to Mr. VoGeL now
has the distinction of holding the larg-
est amount of gold ever assembled at
one time In the history OF the world
Approximately s25.0oo.o0o in Federal Re
serve notes were taken over by the
Federal Reserve Bank, of which s6.OOo,0oo
were sent to the banks vaults. Small
coins to the amount of S.Ooo.On remain
in the Sub-Treasury vaults.
II is the intention of Secretary of the
Treasury Houston and officials of the
reserve bank to use the historic build
ing as a branch for handling fractional
currency. Government officials nave
voiced the opinion that the old buildlns
should be preserved, and it is the In
tention to convert it eventually into
museum.
Mr.. Vogel said that he would return,
temporarily at least, to the practice OF
law.
Every employee of the Suo-Treasury
will be given a Government position;
Most of them will go to the Federal
Reserve Bank and few to the Assay
Office. The others have been distrip-

NIGHT BATHING
CHANCES GOOD
Experts Say Tidal Basin
Offers Splendid OPP =
portunlty.

II Washington people show that
they have attained sufficient apti-
tude in swimming at the close of
this seasons bathing at the Tidal
Basin, they stand good chance of
enjoying night bathing next year.
Col. Clarence S. Ridley, in charge
CT public buildings and grounds, has
had this proposition under consider
alton for some time and said last
night that after careful investiga-
ton of local conditions in compari-
son with those OF other cities which
have night bathing, a decision would
be made.
The cost of keeping the Basin
open until 9 or 10 o'clock will
amount to very little according TO
estimates made by an architect here
who is familiar with the problem
The lighting would not cost over
SO an evening and the extra num-
Der of guards that would be put on
would be paid for by the increased
attendance.
The Tidal Basin is self-maintain-
ing now and with the many more
people who would come at night
the cost of the plan would hardly
need to be taken into consideration
A cable can be run from the poNeI
wires on the Alexandria turnpike to
the Tidal Basin TO furnish the cur
rent. A more limited area could be
established for the bathers and an.
other shift OF eight life guards put
on.
A few more lights in the bath.
houses would be necessary and po-
lice protection would have to be
arranged for.
