 The so-caIled Indiana Plan" of controlling local public expendi- lures for public improvements is now being actively considered in New England. Mir Harmon said, as a result of the councils inviting Governor Leslie of that state to explain the plan to the recent con- ference.
 The New England council, Mir Harmon explained, is an executive body of 72 men, twelve from each of the six New England states, which reports annually to the New England conference, a group made up of delegates from the agricul- tural, commercial and industrial or ganization of New England, and of the associate members of the coun- ell. The latter are the firms, indi- viduals, corporations, and associa- tions which support financially the development work which the coun- ell carries on.
 Harry c. Knight of New Haven, Conn, president of the Southern New England Telephone company, is president of the New England council. MT Knight is the regional representative in New England of the presidents organization on un- employment relief, the Clifford committee" and of the sub-com- mittees headed by owen D. Young, Fred c. Croxton and Harry Wheel CT.
 Besides Mir Knight and MT liar mon, other officers of the council are John s. Lawrence, of Boston, member of the committee on recent economic changes. treasurer; and John B.

New York, Dec 2-New Eng lands banking structure has shown d remarkable record for stability under depression conditions, New Engianders residing in New York were told here tonight by Dudley Harmon, executive vice president of the New England council, who ad- dressed the annual meeting of the New England Society in the City of New York at Hotel Roosevelt. Out of four states in the Union which have suffered no bank sus- pensions this year, three are in New England" MT Harmon declared. They are New Hampshire, Yer mont and Rhode Island. The fourth state is Delaware, and the District of Columbia has also been free of bank suspensions. During both 1890 and 1931 New England has suffered fewer banking difficulties than any other area of the country.
 Confidence in the soundness not only of New England's banks but also her economic conditions is further indicated" he continued, ''by the recently published report of the American Bankers associa- ton bringing out the fact that, while savings deposits in banks and trust companies of the United States decreased by one per cent for the year ending June 30, 1881, deposits in New England's banks increased by 2.4 per cent. There was n gain in deposits in every New England state but one and New England's per capita savings are greater than those of any other section of the country"
 The New England council, of which MT Harmon Is the executive officer is an all-New England de- velopment organization created in 1925 under auspices of the six New England governors. It's functions include research into economic problems; development of solutions and the stimulation of cooperative efforts by all clements within the New England community to pro- mote economic and business prog ress.
 New England is attacking the problem of the taxation burden upon industry with understanding and determination, the council executive said. At the recently held seventh annual New England conference, a gathering of the six governors and business executives from each state, the subject of con trol of public expenditures and taxation occupied position of ma jor attention.
 An example of the unique serv- ice of the New England council, MT Harmon said, was its action in inviting the state tax commission ers of the six New England states to survey the tax situation in New England and to present to New England business men assembled at the annual conference a joint statement of their views. This they did, he added, informing the buJiness executives of their belief that communities, like individuals, have limited tax paying ability and declaring that the New Eng
