TO FIGHT BoRLAND LAW.
Citizens Association Committee to
Wage Campaign for It's Repeal.

A campaign for the repeal Of the
Borland law. which assesses half the
cost Of street paving against abutting
property owners. will be launched by
the Federation Of Citizens Associa-
tions tonight. A special committee of
the federation, with William NICK. CLAY
ton as chairman, will meet in the office
of President w. B. Westlake to ruap out

Mr.. Clayton pointed out today that
there is an added reason now for
abolishing this law in view of the ef-
forts being made to relieve the street
railway companies of paving the
space between car tracks. II the COM
Canies are granted this relief, Mr.. Clay
ton said, it will mean that the property
owners will pay half the cost Of car
track paving.
The chairman Of the committee fur
ther pointed out that street improve

quently not asked for because the
property owners in the cases are not in

TOPICS OF WALL STREET.
Money q Per Cent.

Call money. after renewing at per
cent. declined to per cent in the
New York Stock Exchange as a result
of apathy on the part of the usual bor-
rowers. Over the counter loans were at
6 per cent. all day. but the aggregate
placed was small. In fact. the demand
for call money is probably at the low
est ebb since the start of liquidation.
The stock market presents in certain
issues evidence of further liquidation of
speculative accounts. and with public
participation at minimum the brokers
have no difficulty in obtaining funds
adequate for their needs. In more than
one case Stock Exchange houses get
along on their own resources without
loans from banks. Altogether loans for
stock and bond speculative purposes
present low margin of earning power
for the banks under present conditions.
A partial explanation of the light de-
mand for call money lies In the clearing
up of secondary distribution of the most
recent bond issues, which were sluggish
I at the start.

American International.

The report of the American Interna-
tional Corporation for 1920, which will
be made public In the near future, prob
ably next week, will show for the first
time the holdings of securities in other
companies which that corporation owns.
The practice has been to keep secret
names and amounts of securities owned
by American International. but certain
interests In the company are known to
have favored for a long time more
open policy in that respect. They have
argued that its stockholders were en-
titled to know in what stocks and bonds
their company had invested and, accord
ing to information obtained yesterday,
have prevailed on it's management to
include that feature In the next report.
