MELLON SAYS BONUS
BILL MUST NOT PASS
Secretary of Treasury Says the
Measure Would Upset All
Economy Plans.

washington, July 7.--The opening
Of the debate on tho Bonus hill in the
Senate yesterday was chiefly mark
ed hy two sharp attacks on the
measure.
One was In the form OF a letter by
Secretary Mellon in answer To a let
ter Of inquiry by senator F'rolinghuy-
zen. who read the reply To his asso-
eiates. In IL the head OF the Treas
ury Department bluntly declared that
the Ronus hill, IL enacted. would
greatly swell the cost of government
and virtually defeat the Administra-
tons program Of economy and re-
trcnchment.' and also that no such
sum could be taken out of the Treas
ury without throwing a correspond
ing load upon the whole people in the
form Of increased interest charges
increased taxes and increased cost OF
living"
lie also Indicated that enactment
of the measure would hamper refund
ing operations on the national debt
and was likely TO depress further the
Nrices of Liberty bonds There was
danger aisd ~ renewed imitation, in
creased commodity prices and un-
sotlled business conditions. II lie was
convinced, 20 said. that in the long
rIn the veterans would los, far more
than they lwouid gain.
Mi, MeloA cited the estimates of the
cost Of the measure 10 the public,
ranging from $500 100000 10 $3.50
600 000. and expressed the opinion
that the whole honus proposition
ought 10 be deferred.
The other attack on the measure
was made by senator Underwood,
who had yielded the floor 10 permit

REAL ESTATE DEAL
Commercial State Bank
Buys Fletcher Property
TO ENLARGE QUARTERS
Structures to Be Remodeled and
Brought Up-to-Date
At Once

A real estate deal or more than
ordinary importance has recently
been consummated. AS a result, the
Commercial State Bank Of this city
becomes the owner of ell o. Lot 6,
Block 8. This property comprises
the present bank. building occupied
jointly by the Mankato Savings and
the Commercial State banks as well
as the two buildings adjoining. oecu-
pie6 by the Human Milking Ma
chine company aud the Kinney Shoe
company.
This property has been known for
many years as, "the Fletcher block"
Il was part of the estate Of the late
l. G. NJ. Fletcher, the property hav-
ing been acquired by him in the late
fifties. Because 1t has been so much
q part Of Mankato history, the re-
cent transfer is Of special interest.
The Original Deeds
Two original deeds are in exis-
lance. One dated April 81, 1858
transfer from Ammi Coy to Lafayette

seal of R. ]. Sibley, who with j. E.
Tourtilotte witnessed the document.
Through the other deed Benjamin
Hotaling and Mary ]. Hotaling. his
wife conveyed to L. G.. M. Fletcher
for $3.50 the lot on which the Saw
ings bank now stands. This docu-
ment was witnessed by q. Paddock
and George w. Fletcher and was
recorded June a., 1860: James B.
Hubbell being register Of deeds.
Mr.. Fletcher's earliest residence
was in a one story frame dwelling on
this property where he lived for more
than a year, removing in 1860 to his
farm north Of the city -where the last
fifty years of his life were spent.
Old Time Structure Recalled.
The old building which stands at
the foot Of Cherry street formerly
stood on this corner and was occu-
pied for many years by T. H. An
drews with his gun shop, and later
son with his tailor shop. This build
ing was removed in 1892. In that
same year the Mankato Savings bank
was organized and the present build
ing erected by Mr.. Fletcher who serv-
ed as president of the bank until his
death in 1910. The two adjoining
buildings were erected in 1872 but in
recent years have been extensively
,remodeled and improved.
|. Finding the present banking room
>too small to comfortably accommodate
the two banks. the Commercial State
bank has purchased this property
from the former owners, Mrs. Susie
D. Fletcher and Miss May Fletcher.
1t is their intention to remodel the
building in the near future and make
OF it an up to- date banking room in
every particular. The Commercial
State and the Mankato Savings banks
win continue to occupy the building
Jointly.
