Passing Of the Sub :
Treasures at New
York and Elsewhere

New York, Nov. 23-Pursuant to an
act of Congress which provides for the
abolition of the various sub-treasuries
bcattered throughout the country, the
United States sub-Treasury In this
city will cease to exist at the end Of
the year and Its. functions ana pow
delegated to the local Federal Reserve
Bank
Many of the employees of the sub
treasury, now numbering less than 100.
will be taken over by the Federal Re-
serve Bank. which will occupy the
Treasury building until its own new
home In this city is completed and
other employees maybe go into the GUS
toms service.
The local sub-treasury, for genera
tions an integral part OF the financial
history of the government. occupies a
commanding position in the heart of
the financial district and is on the
site of the seat Of the Federal Con-
gress where George Washington took
the oath of office as first President of
the United States.
It's Grecian' facade and broad ap-
proach have been the scenes of some of
the most important and interesting
events in the annals of this city and
country. From its steps. standing in
the shadow of the bronze statue of the
some Of the most distinguished states
men Of this and foreign lands.
Many political demonstrations of deep
significance have taken place there,
including those held during the Blaine
and Cleveland campaigns and Theodore
Roosevelt made his first open-air
speech from its steps when he ran for
Governor Of New York.
During the world war the sub-treas-
ury was the center Of numerous Lib
erty bond rallies and other similar
gatherings. Only recently its steps were
thronged while speakers representing
various patriotic organizations voiced
their protest against the mysterious ex-
plosion of September 16. which occurred
within so feet of the Washington statue
and caused serious damage to the new
Assay Office building next door.
In its many years of service the SUBJ
treasury has been the repository of
well nigh countless billions of dollars
in gold and silver and paper money and
it's chiefs have included some of the
most notable figures among the finan-
citvs of the city.
Martin Vogel, now assistant treasur-
er, will return to the practice of law
as soon as he is relieved of his duties.
This will not be possible, however. un-
til an official count has been taken of
the vast sums of money still reposing
in the underground vaults of the
building.

those suggested were the following:
Sonithing is needed to improve social
conditions; less children or more
teachers: keep up with the times.
pupils are lacking in some sections and
more money is needed for rural schools.
The school question is important; big
money is appropriated and more being
called for; in spite of this. Maine
ranks low as compared with other
states, in the average qualifications of
her teachers and average wage paid
We must, therefore. either put up
more money or make better use of
what is appropriated. People in the
rural section send their students to
/ the village schools because of better
conditions. Lack of funds is a handi-
cap to getting teachers for rural schools
where the best of teachers are need
ed. The best teachers and the best
superintendent can get larger wages
than rural sections can pay and nat
urally they go where they dan do bet
