ALBANY MAYOR
FINDS Way OUT
Third Police Board OF New Year
Elected When Law Is Care
fully Read

ALBANY Jan. &c, Albany had
her third police commission of the
year when the city council at its
meeting Tuesday night elected an
entirely new board to replace the
one elected at the annual meeting,
January 10.
With the change Of administrations
here the new council availed itself
of the charter amendment provision
effective this year empowering the
council to vacate the offices of all po-
lice commissioners aud elect new
ones under certain conditions. The
council, however, overlooked the fact
that the election under this amend
ment should take place at the last
regular meeting Of the council in
Januafy and proceeded to elect r.
A. Wallace, Dennis Fleming, j.
Weiss Kieve and L. A. Jenkins at
that time. 1t was discovered later
that the commission had been elected
out of time, and Tuesday night, the
time for the regular election found
the resignation of Commissioner
Wallace before the council and it
was then decided to elect new ones
in the place of all four, with the re-
suit that John ID. Pope, B. b. Ivey
j. p. Champion and j. S. Billings
lea were named.
While no statement was made as
to the reason for changing the
whole lot, ii was understood that GER
tain differences between Mayor H.
A. Peacock and the commission caus-
ed the change, the council desiring
to support the mayor in his stand that
the recommendation Of the chief Of
police should be followed until it
was demonstrated that they were un-
worthy of being followed. The new
commission met Wednesday noon and
carried out the recommendations Of
Chief II. S. Wallis that the old COM
mission had refused to accept

WATSON WITNESS ROBBED AND FIRED HE SAYS
UNDERWRITERS
ASKED TO SEND
CLASSIFIER HERE

The mayor and city council yes
terday requested the Southeastern
Underwriters association to send a
representative here to classify and
grade the city with view of reduc-
ing fire insurance rates. AS the
Underwriters association has already
expressed willingness to send rep
reseutative on request, no doubt the
work of regarding will begin in the
near future.
The dissatisfaction in regard to
high fire insurance rates is not by
any means confined to this city, but
is widespread. The Missouri inslr-
ance commissioner has recently is
sued an order reducing fire insurance
rates in that state Is per cent, eff
fective February Is. The cause Civ
en- by the insurance commissioner is
that the insurance companies are
profiteering. Col Hyde, insurance
commissioner, says that if expenses
and profits consume SO per cent of
the income their methods arc extrava-
giant. He charges that the public is
being compelled to carry heavy load
because the companies do not inspect
risks and insure them for only Il
reasonable amount, but over-insure
many Of them. He claims this causes
heavy losses, which are followed by
rate advances, followed by more over
insurance and more losses, etc. in a
vicious circle
The Mississippi legislature is now
considering a bill that provides for a
state rating board to make rates on
fire and tornado insurance and to
establish standard policy forms and
provides penalties, which make it a
crime to charge more than the estab-
lished rates.
The fire insurance companies in
New York have recently had a little
straight talk from officials and have
been required to mend their ways,
AS long as yc arc content to stand
idly by and let tho fire insurance
companies overcharge us, just so long
will the rates be high, We have been
paying q tax OH our ignorance and
lnertn for many years.

VALUE OF RYE USED
AS THE BASIS OF A
LOAN BY 0LDENBURG

Oldenburg, Germany, Nov. II.
"A literal application is being
given here to the poetic phraseol-
osy golden grain" Operating on
the principle that rye is gold" the
state of Oldenburg is issuing rye
money on the following basis.
The state needs 150,000,0OO
marks. In order to raise that sum
notes will be used bearing a spe-
cific value In rye. Whoever ac-
quires one OF these notes will pay
whatever is the current market
value of the amount of rye in
which it is quoted, together with a
fixed rate of interest. The notes
are to be redeemable after four
years. If rye is then worth ten
times its present value, the holder
will realize ten-fold on his note,
and similarly will lose if the rye
market has slumped.
AS rye is now selling the note
issue of 150,000,00O marks will be
equivalent 10 approximately $4,000
centners (about 105,2S6 bushels)
Of rye. This is considered an ex-
traordinarily small quantity COM
pared with the usual Oldenburg
harvest.
II is foreseen that other sections
Of Germany may follow this states
example, since the local expert
ment represents one of the first at
tempts to find a stable basis Of
transaction in view of the mark S
irregular fluctuations.

INCREASE SHOWN

BANK DEPOSITS
One of Every Four Resi-

Association Reports.

New York. Nov. 1.-THE popu
lar idea that the term New York
err is synonymous with prodigality
in expenditures for unimportant
things, extravaganza in dress and
style Of living and outlay for bright
light amusenauts, is refuted by
some significant figures just COM
piled by the Merchants association.
On July /, 1922, the savings banks
Of New York held on deposit ST.
O69,f39,S24.S5, representing aC-
counts of 1,GS0,G25 depositors, or
more than one out of every four of
the entire population.
"These figures" said the state
nent, "are as significant relatively
as positively, They prove that the
habit Of thrift among the wage
earners in the city has grown
enormously during the last twenty
five years.
I'm 1897 the books Of the New
York savings banks showed depos-
its to a total of $529.907247.75. The
actual deposits in that period have
therefore multiplied almost four
times. Within the time period the
number Of depositors has increased
from 1,222,366 to the total as indi-
Gated above. It is true that the in
crease in numbers of accounts is
not commensurate with the in
crease In population, but a signifl-
cant fact appears in the per capito
comparison. The depositors of 1897
showed an average savings account
Of s432.51 while the depositors of
today show an average savings de-
post OF s1,23155.
"Those who aualyze the slgnifi.
icance of figures may draw various
deductions Of interest from these
remarkable showings which are
newly assembled, but any argumen.
tending to show that New Workers
in general are a wasteful lot would
have some difficulty in maintaining
