Uptown Branch Banks

The executive management Of the
National City Bank is giving serious
consideration, it became known yes
terday, to opening branch in the
Forty-second Street district, or the up
town financial district, as the real es-
tate people call it. While the present
national bank law prohibits national
banking institution from establishing
branch. it can be done indirectly
through the absorption Of banks with
state charters having branches. This
has already been done in number of
instances. At present legislation is being
framed which will amend the national
bank act and make it possible for ma
tlonal banks to open branches directly
The proposal is said to have the ap-
proval of the Federal Reserve Board
Bankers yesterday expressed hope that
the new measure will be adopted at
the present session of Congress. The
Manhattan Hotel building, now owned
by the National City Company, is be-
ing remodeled and will be ready for
occupancy by May /, and any new
branch opened by the National City
Bank will be installed in that build

sical prelude to Doth AFTERNOON
and evening performances, and
rendered several national and
popular numbers They gave
their concerts on the mellophone
and fuelgel horn, which are two
of the most harmoniously blend

enjoyed their music as much as
any other in the Chautauqua cir
cult and regretted that it was not
possible for them to have an af-
ternoon for a concert.
The other number on the pro-
gram was a lecture-recital given
ky Wallace Bruce Amsbarry. He
gave several pleasing numbers
that thrilled the audience.
