HOMES OF DISTRICTS BANKS
AMONG FINEST STRUCTURES
Office Buildings, Like Apartments, Have
Reached Overbuilt Stage-Facts on
State Banking.

the call of the controller for reports
as to conditions October last Results
were published In The Star on Friday.
Sufficient to say that all records OF
the past we're surpassed that this year
to October 3 there had been an increase
of $24,472,223 in actual cash In banks
to the credit of depositors.
Never has the local stock market
been less active during the Summer
months-so much SO that it has caused
much comment, some even going as far
to claim that the market was under
going an evolutionary movement. that
interest was shifting from the One-tine
favorites, from Capital Traction shares,
Washington Gas stock and Railway
preferred to Sanitary Grocery Chevy
Chase Dairy, Peoples Drug Stores and
other newcomers on the stock sheet OF
the local bourse.
There is no question but what the
speculatively inclined interests of the
city have been fully satisfied with the
action, the strength and life In the New
York Stock Market.
Local securities are genarlly slow In
Summer. People do not care to remain
here through the heat of July and Au-
gust, but this year more than ever be-
fore they have absented themselves
from our investment field. But the
people are coming home again.
The next three weeks action in all
markets will be watched with great IN
terest.
Some Inside Facts.
Speaking to the very interesting SUBJ
iect, Interest Rates on Deposits" A.
j. Veigel, State commissioner of banks
Of Minnesota, declared that the public
is more interested in having safe banks
than they are in free service and high
interest rates.
In the long run a bank must have
earnings above expenses to be safe" he
said, Most banks have now decided
that they are not charitable institu-
tons There is no reason why hey
should not charge for all services rem
dered, the same as every ether business
is doing"
Mr.. Veigel came out strongly in favor
of reduction of interest rates paid on
deposits when necessary. Although
feeling that it was undesirable tor pub
lie banking officials to FIX arbitrarily
interest rates, he said that where It. can
be shown that some banks are slowly
committing suicide by paying more in
terest than they can afford to pay and
when it becomes a question. Cf the
safety of the bank" then such officials
should step in and insist that sound
banking principles be introduced at
once.
such a condition existed in Mime
sota.' he added. I'm May of this year
we found that about 40 banks were still
paying more than per cent on time
deposits some of them as high as 6
per cent. Most of these were banks
which could least afford to pay the high
rate and many of them were in the red
in earnings.
Acting under the law, we issued a
circular letter to all State banks urging
them to reduce the interest rate so that
their banks would be on paying basis
and forbidding them to pay more than
4 per cent. holding that to do so under
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1928-10-14

With very few exceptions Washington
financial institutions, with special ref
erence to banks, are permanently
located in their own homes, structures
erected for their accommodation and
made as convenient as possible for the
business demands of today and in most
instances for contemplated growth OF
the next few decades.
Present activities have necessitated
the remodeling and additions to many
banks for the purpose Of obtaining more
room the latest in this respect being
the Union Trust Co., which today has
one of the finest banking rooms In the
city, nor is there more space devoted to
the needs of the bank than necessary as
the business of the institution has made
great forward strides--this, too, for one
of the most conservatively managed OF
local banks.
Remodeling here meant the erection
of large business building, duplicating
the bank structure on the east. Com
menting on this. Edward j. Stellwagen,
president of the Union Trust Co, had
this to say:
Apartments are more numerous in
Washington today than the demand for
them, and it leeks very much as if office
buildings had reached about the same
stage. There is but little profit in a
business building or block today. The
change, such as we have made here, has
given us a fine-looking Symmetrical;
building. but Offices are slaw rentals
these days
Look at the Washington Building.
one of the handsomest, most centrally
located in the city-not even completed,
rentals practically nil, liens and mort
cages, too many, with large sales OF
preferred stock to thrifty New England
ers, upon which not a dollar has been
paid. The story of other buildings is
much the same, only less discouraging
May Affect American Security e. Trust Co
These very conditions may have a
decided effect in influencing the build
ing committee and officials of the Amer
lean Security e. Trust Co., In reaching
an understanding as to the building
operations that the company may en-
gage in before long.
Two propositions have been under
consideration; one. the erection of a
modern Office building nine stories in
height, the trust company to reserve
for its own use basement and three
lower floors, with the balance of the
space offered to tenants
The second proposal under considera-
ton is for the erection on the COM
pany's property running north nearly
100 feet from the north end of the
present main building on Fifteenth
street OF building entirely in keeping
with the present structure, with the
extension of the banking room proper
the full length of the structure.
There is no question but what that
would give the company an especially
beautiful banking room and other
needed quarters.

present conditions would be against
sound banking principles"
Mr.. Veigel said that practically all
bankers in the State welcomed this
order, as they knew it would improve
the general situation. The controller of
the currency co-operated by urging
national banks to follow suit, with the
result that only two national banks in
the State are now paying more than
4 per cent
Commissioner Veigel is a strong be-
lever In the independent banking sys-
tenn and that bankers should do every
thing possible to preserve it. continuing,
To do so, it Is necessary that bankers
themselves take whatever action is
necessary to prevent bank failures. If
the majority of the bankers in any
given group or territory decide that 1t

interest rates, the minority should join

The circumstances Of the 35-year-old

heart of Washington.

Many Give Help.
Offers of other kinds of help came
to the family. Late yesterday young

circumstances for a few days, but will
be badly in need of more help after the

The pathetic circumstances of the

sympathy among a much wider group
than was represented by those who
called at the house today.
At the Gayety Theater last night an
