Regulation, OF
County Deposits
InBank FavOret

Committee on banking has giver
it's approval to senate bill per-
tanning to bank affairs and rec
commended that one bill do not
pass.
The bill which met with disap-
proyal is Senate Bill 80, by Sena-
tor Thomas f. Ryan, of Clacka-
mas county, defining purposes for
which banks may hold real estate.
Approval was given to Senate
Bill 159, by Senator o. B. Robert
son of Gillian, Sherman and
Wheeler counties, relating to de-
posits by county treasurers of
county funds in Napositories.
This bill, ii it becomes law,
would have special application to
such situations as developed not
many months ago in jackson coun-
ty, and it is believed it will have a
tendency to eliminate squabbles in
many counties over depositing of
county funds. 1t provides that
county moneys shall be deposited
in the various banks designated as
repositories in the proportion that
the capital and surplus of such de-
positories bears to the total pub
lie fund.
SHOULD the county treasurer fail
neglect or refuse to apportion the
county funds among the county
repositories as provided herein, as
near as can be practicable, he may
be compelled to comply with the
requirements of this section by
and in which case in
addition to the costs of the pro-
ceedings he shall be liable to the
plaintiff in the sum of one hundred
dollars damages" says this bill.

Practically no opposition was
offered to the passage of senate
bill 204 by Ryan and Edwards
creating a state board commission
to consist fthe governor, state
treasurer and state superintendent
of banks. The creation of such a
commission to supervise the in
Vestment of state funds was recon-
mended by state Treasurer o. p.
Hoff in his last annual report with
a view to dividing the responsible
ity incident othe handling of the
rapidly growing surplus in the
state funds and especially in the
funds of the state Industrial accl-
dent commission. The bin also
requires that all issues of state,
county, municipal and school dis

One of the best celebrations was the community tree and program which was held at the Congregation al Church Saturday night. There was not even standing room, left when the exercises began and the performance of those who took part was thoroughly enjoyed by those present. Great credit is due to the ladies who had charge of the affair and produced such an entertainment.
 At the close of the program Santa Claus appeared and began to find presents among the branches of the Christmas tree for all the children, everyone of whom was remembered So loaded down was the tree that there were more gifts than children.
 In the A. N B. Hall on Thlingel Avenue the children of the U. s. Gov ernment School and their parents were also treated to Christmas tree and a program was given on Satur- day evening. Under, the tutelage of Mrs. Helen McEvoy the children took part in the program in a creditable manner Each child received gifts from off the tree. essOn Christmas night the Finnish people celebrated the sYuletides with tree, followed by a supper and dance in the Douglas Island Labor Union Hall.
