POWER CENTER
Steam Plant Here May BE Used
rs .Auxiliary in Hydro-Electric
Distribution System

Additional evidence, in lieu Of cor
rooorative statements from the head
quarters of the company, that the
Americas Lighting company has been
purchased by the Congratulations
Light and Power Co., is revealed in
the large quantities OF insulators
and other materials that have been
purchased.
This material is being assembled
and it is reported will be used in
the placing Of the line between Al
bany and Americas.
This, when completed, will give
this city both steam and hydro-elec-
tric power that will mean consider
able advantage to the users Nof both
power and lights.
1t is understood that the option
o0 the plant expired October and
that negotiations have been complet-
cd and the larger company expects
to absorb the local plant as soon as
the final papers have passed.
The negotiations have been car
rjed on between the officials in
Baltimore, Md, and the Atlanta Of
fee Of the Congratulations Power
company.
Albany will also profit because Of
the transaction, for the river will
not be the only source Of power
for the residents Of that section.
When the line is tied in Ameri-
Gus will be one point in a distribut-
ing force that extends over two
states and will be tied in with one
OF the most extensive and complete
power operations in the country and
the largest in the South.
Local officials are still silent in the
matter and will neither deny or af-
irm the report that the plant has
changed hands.
The fact that agents of the larger
company are openly in the market
Tor options to be followed by leases
and that materials for the $4,000

sembIed, indicate strongly that some
definite action has been taken in the

PLANTERS BANK
CORRESPONDENT
john Stock Land Bank Of Atlanta
Secures Local Institution AS
Financial Representative

ATLANTA, Oct. 28.-Sixty-three
bank correspondents in the states of
Georgia and Alabama have been APP
pointed for the Atlanta joint-stock
land bank which is now in active
operation in the Hurt building here.
The officers of more than 100 banks
located in the two states are stock
holders in the Atlanta institution. 1t
is stated by President A. B. Sims
that applications on hand for more
than half million dollars, when the
bank opened, have been greatly in
creased. The Planters Bank Of
Americus has been named as a bank
correspondent.
Of the several joint stock land
banks organized in the United States,
predictions have been made that the
Atlanta bank is destined to be one
of the most successful, due to the
fact that its stock has been placed
among so many representative bank
ers and business men in its terri
tory. From among these several
hundred stockholders the bank has
selected its correspondents, accord
ing to President Sims, who will safe
guard both the interests of the bor-
rover, who is often the client of his
bank, as well as bear in mind the
fact that the institution means mon
ey to him. The correspondents will
also aid in keeping money in home
territory.
Such banks, as the one now in
operation in Atlanta, function under
the same governmental supervision
as the federal reserve banks, though,
because of their stock being con-
trolled by private interests, are al
lowed certain exemptions which the
federal banks do not enjoy. Both
systems are created under the same
government act.
Function of Atlanta Bank
The function of the Atlanta bank
will be to make first mortgage of
from five to forty years at a low
rate Of interest, at present six per
cent; to provide capital for the pur
chase Of land for agricultural uses; !;
for the purchase of equipment, fer
tilizers and livestock necessary for
such farms; for farm buildings and
for the improvement of farm lands
and to liqUidate the Indebtedness of
the owners Of the land mortgaged,
on amortization installment pay
ments.
The federal farm loan board has re-
Gently approved a thirty-three-year
plan based on a loan of 1000, show
ing where a payment of $35 paid
semi-annualiy extfnguishes the prin-
cipal and interest in thirty-three
years.
Both federal reserve banks and
the joint-stock land banks are under
the direction of the federal farm
loan board with the secretary Of the
treasury as ex-officio chairman. They
issue bonds against their approved
farm loans-the joint-stock land
banks for fifteen times their capital
and surplus. These bonds are ex-
empt from federal, state, municipal
and local taxation. The act further
provides that such bonds shall be law
full investment for all fiduciary and
trust funds and may be accepted for
security Of all public deposits.
The operation of the law with re-
gard to the making Of loans through
