Besides the national banks there are
two very important savings inst;tu.
tions established in Chile. handling
deposits largely Of the poorer classes
These are known as the aCaia Naeional

posted, and balance Of 58,47e. .83s

Mortgage Banks
There are several mortgage banks in
Ghile, notably the Gaia de Credito
-hlpoeecario, which plays an important
part In the economic and financial de-
velopment of the country. This is an
institution under state supervision,
making loans on real estate to land
owners. The loans are made after
thorough appraisements and are in the
form of bonds which have been issued
IN various series, bearing interest from
s to 8 per cent. In addition to the
Gaia de Credito Hipotecario, there are
the Banco Hipotecario de Valparaiso,
the Banco Garantizador de Valores and
the important Banco Hipotecario del
Credito. This latter was established
in 1901 under the name of the Sociedad
de Credito Construcciones, with an
initial capital of 100000 pesos, and has
now an authorized capital of 100000
1t has recently been reorganized and
has put into practice new and advan-
tageous methods Of encouraging saw
ings and intends to make speciality
of making loans to the small business
man and farmers, who have hitherto
found it very difficult to obtain the
means of financing their undertakings.
The securities OF all these mortgage
banks are very much in favor with
Chilean investors and form large part
of the daily transactions on the local
stock exchanges. Their yield return is
large, and as they are we'll secured by
mortgage on property which is always
increasing in value they are consid-
cred as attractive investments.

REINFORCED CONCRETE ROAD
Washington to Determine Strength
Of Foundation.

How q reinforced concrete road
holds up under heavy. traffic is to be
determined by the bureau of public
roads. United States Department of
Agriculture, through experiments to
be conducted on such road now be-
ing built in the suburbs of Washing
ton In cooperation with Arlington
county, Va.
abe road is being reinforced with
many different arrangements of wire
mesh and round steel rods embedded
In the concrete. The joints will be
either a crack left In the road, to be
filled with tar, or simply sheet of
corrugated metal set on edge with the
concrete poured around 1t. Some sec
lions are to have Joints running along
the middle of the road, some across il,
and some will be built without joints.
OF especial interest is the cOnstruc-
ton of ribbed sections. Instead of
placing the concrete on a nearly fat
subgrade, trenches will be dug In the
subgrade running parallel to the edges
of the road and also across the road.
These trenches will be flied with con-
crete, giving the slab downward pro-
lection Of concrete, ana presumably
strengthening it. Experiments also
viii be conducted to determine the
strengthening effect of treating the
earth under the concrete On one sec
ton the earth for a depth of 9 inches
