NASHVILLE, Tenn, January L.
officials OF the United States
Weather Bureau here tonight con-
sidered the record rise of the Cum
berland River, at Nashville. over
with receding waters in sight.
The river here recorded 56.2 feet
today, officially 1862 feet above flood
stage, making 5000 persons home
less in north. east and south Nash
vile sections. The chamber of
commerce began drive to raise
$4,000 for flood sufferers.

ton was that the river would fall
from half foot to a foot and half
below its present level and then
downward rapidly.
Fair weather was forecast.
BroadcaSting of appeals for sub
scriptions to the $4,000 relief fund
was renewed tonight over Station
WAC.
Flood waters undermined a four
story wholesale house today, causing
1t TO collapse. A large stock of goods
hoated away in the Cumberland.
The rear of a second firm nearby
also collapsed. Engineers an
nounced that Sparkman Street
Bridge, isolated nearby, was not en-
dangered.
Acute cases of suffering from the
homeless and the jobless were being
taken care Of by charity headquar-
ters, though increasing need of pub
lie funds was stressed.
Some improvement was reported in
conditions today at Huntsville and
Carthage. up the river from Nash
vile, while at Rome, in Smith
County, where the flood was more
severe than had been previously re-
ported, it was feared property loss
would run high.
Regular canoe routes have been
established here, in some sections Of
the flood, and flood bandits were re-
ported operating in the wholesale
district.

The loan value OF the certificates in

insurance policies written by COM

Gates in reality are 20-year endow-

to apply for certificates, and the
records show that applications have
not yet been received from 700. 900
veterans OF the Army. $4,000 of the
Navy. and 900 of the marines.
1t is not likely that 1t will be neces-
sary to call police reserves to prevent
a riot among bankers in their COM
petition to make loans on adjusted
service certificates. Such loans are
surrounded by a maze of legal red
tape. The veteran must be known
to the banker to be the one named in
the certificate, notice of the loan must
be sent the Veterans Bureau. and
various affidavits must be prepared in
the event the note is discounted with
the Federal Reserve Bank or is taken
over by the Veterans Bureau If not
paid at maturity. In the latter event
the bureau Will pay the bank its due
and hold the certificate and note while
6 per cent interest compounds an
nually until the veteran redeems them
or dies. when the balance will be paid
the beneficiary.
In the second place, the law re-
quires that such loans be made at a
rate OF interest not exceeding ? per
cent above the discount rate of the
Federal Reserve Bank of the district
for 90-day commercial paper. This
means, at present, an interest rate of
s per cent for loans on these certifi-
Gates, which is not attractive in some
sections for such paper and is lower
than the legal contract rate of inter
est in all excepting II States. Loans
evidently are to be made on COM
mercial terms, for notes cannot be dis
counted with the Federal Reserve

Although these figures are imposing.
they are aggregates and the loans
must be divided among large num-
Der of persons. AS a matter of fact,
the average face value of the ad-
justed service certificates is 81 ,029 and
it is calculated that the average loan
value of a 2-year-old certificate is only
unfortunately $50.
