Notwithsta nding all the talk Of

The latest deveIopment-the pro

Coincident with this visit was the
announcement that private bankers in
America had made a large extension

clearly that the economic boycott sup

American Government is not in op-

Close supervision over the issuance

traffic problem by Commissioner Fen

The new Commissioner made known
this view today after conferences with

the police traffic bureau.
Col. Fenning said he found that Mr..
Eldridge agreed with him to the
importance of keeping close watch on
drivers licenses and that henceforth
this phase of traffic regulation will be
concentrated upon.
The Commissioner said that every
time a motorist comes into conflict
with the police from now until all per-

When the time for renewal of all per-
mits arrives, the Commissioner added,
il will be possible 10 make a check of

There has been considerable discus
sion recently as to whether the first
installation of traffic signal lights
should he made on Sixteenth street.
and also as 70 whether the signals
should go in the center Of the inter

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Building and Loan Problems.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Some of my correspondents inter-
ested In building and loan associa-
tions have been disturbed by recent
developments involving some II as
sociations in Philadelphia. There is
no reason for anxiety as far as the
average building and loan associa-
ton is concerped The principle is
sound and the practice is almost uni
formly conservative.
There are, however, differences in
the laws OF the various States regu-
lating building and loan associations
as we'll as differences in the degree
of oversight by the State. There is
no way to prevent individual cases
of abuse In any financial system, and
now and then one or more of these
crop out, even though the record as
whole is eminently reassuring.
If II were possible, a uniform law
regulating building and loan associa-
ton procedure throughout all the
States would be very helpful. Per-
mitting loans on second mortgages
is difficult to defend. In this respect
the New York State law and the New
York State practice might well be
taken as q model. Many other States
have euslly good laws, but not all Of
them. .>
The building and loan association
is essentially local enterprise, and
shareholders and borrowers are bet
ter protected when they can have
personal acquaintance with and con-
fidence in the officers that, run its
affairs. This is entirely possible In
the average small community. II
you are not In position to make
this acquaintance at first hand. you
ought to have assurances from some
one who is. Generally your local
banker can give you satisfactory in
formation. about the status of the
association IN which you are consid.
erinS investing and the experience
and financial responsibility of the
men who run II.
