Taxes TotaIing
 $1,OOO Abated
$4,50O More Have Collection Postponed By Order of
 AIdermen-East Mountain Hearing Sept Iz

Taxes totalling over s1,0oo were abated and collection of $4,50C more was ordered postponed by regular monthly meeting. The abatements were ordered because the petitioners were too poor to pay while in the case of the post ponements the petitioners are tenn porarily financially embarrassed. A number of requests for abate- ments and postponements were dismissed, the petitioners being given leave to withdraw.
 Last nights meeting was brief. The principal feature of the session was the motion of Alderman George Kingston, we'll known Mill Plain republican leader, to the ef- feet that the works board be asked what is holding up operations on the Homestead avenue bridge. AL derman George R. Guilfoile, demo- cratic leader of the board, second ed the motion. Immediate steps will be taken to get a report from the works board on the status of the bridge job.
 The aldermen voted to hold a hearing on September 12th on the petition of the East Mountain school district for permission to consolidate with the inside district. Following the hearing a date for the voting on the matter by the residents of the East Mountain dis trict will be set.
 Petitions of Charles Slade for a water main in Waverly street, a sewer in Templeton street and a light in Pierpont road were re- ferred to the board of works. A vote was passed abating the taxes of Charles w. Goodsell, amount ing to $215,22 because he is an ex-service man and entitled to $1,000 exemption. Similar action was taken in the case of John Ayres, also an ex-serviceman.
 Claims for damages from Mi chael Jannetty, Ruth Kratsky and Karl Kratsky were referred to the committee on law. A petition was received from Mrs Ida Marggraff of 1,208 Bank street for reimburse ment to the extent of $S because of rabbits killed by stray dogs on July 24th. The matter was re- ferred to special committee. Rev Leo M. Finn asked for the abate- ment of taxes on property owned by St Mary Magdalene's church. The request was referred to the on abatements.

Signs Of Life In

August Survey of Nat Credit Assn Shows Ray of
 Hope From fO5 Major Markets

the country by Credit and Financial Management, official publication of the National Association of Credit Men. This emph asizes further the press reports from various sections of the country which find new signs of life in many industries in vasious states.
 Collections, which are necessarily slower in reflecting improvement since the benefit of increased sales is passed on to creditors after a period of about month, therefore show no betterment this month ac- cording to an analysis of the re- ports submitted by the corres- pondents taking part in this months survey.
 Supplementary reports from cor respondents include many interest ing and optimistic observations. California reports that collections and. sales in the Los Angeles sec tor are fair and that some im- provement is noted in oil which is the basic industry" Louisiana finds collections and sales in New Orleans fair, but one section of the state reports sales as being good. Jack-on, Michigan states tha there has been noticeable change from slow to fair in col- lections while sales have improved as we'll" Duluth, Minnesota em- phasizes the same observations and from St. Paul comes word of excellent crop conditions! Newark, New Jersey finds improvement in collections and sales and Bingham ton, New York relays a general re- port of fair business conditions in that area, with two sections there noting good sales.

DAIRY PRODUCTS DISCUSSED AT
 DURHAM, N. H.
Retention and Strengthens ing of Regulations Re- garding the Distribu= ton of Milk Was Urged

Durham, N. H., Aug 2-(UP)- Centralized distribution, regulation of production, and the necessity Of
 uniform legislation governing the inspection of dairy products, were discussed to-day by speakers at the American Institute of Cooperation, now in session at the University of New Hampshire.
 H. B. Steele, secretary of the Dairymen's Cooperative Sales asso- citation of Pittsburg, Pa, urged the
 retention and strengthening of the present network of regulations and restrictions surrounding east ern milk consuming centers. He described how the complex de- mands of city consumers have produced an artificial classification of milk, some being used for but ter, cheese, and ice cream, some dried and sold as powder-"even less coming to the consumers table as fluid milk or cream"
 If the price of all outlets were the same, Steele. said, all milk would gravitate to the fluid mar ket and would result in an imme- diate collapse of present day price structures.
 c. E. Hough, Hartford. Conn, general manager of the Connecti- cut Milk Producers association, pointed out the advantages of cen tralized distribution of milk in each city.
 After a decade of cooperative marketing" Hough declared, milk producers must realize that, If they hope to get the full value for their milk or other milk products, this can be accomplished only by acting as organized groups"
 The unrestricted importation of western cream into New England has forced dairymen near Boston to accept prices out of all relation to the prices at which cream is sold to consumers, w. H. Bronson, head Of the research department of the New England Milk Producers as- sociation, declared.
 He drew a sharp contrast be- tween three different types of dairy inspection adopted in different sections.
 Only milk coming from areas inspected by city health officials can enter New England. the cost of sending inspectors long dis tances and the cost of transporta- ton tending to check the importa- ton of this product. he said.
 There Is, however, no require- ment that cream shall be inspected Ut It's source. This results In New England cream being displaced by outside producers. The milk from which this cream Is made often Is forced on the market and tends to break market prices.
 Bronson contrasted that situa. ton with New York, where both cream and milk come under an inspection system.

Savings Accounts
 Reach New Record
Greatest Number in His= tory of Mutual I1-
 stitutiOns

DeSp1te unemployment and de-
 creased earning power mutual sav-
 ings banks of the United States had
 a gain in new accounts for the first
 six months of 1892. Proof that a
 large section of the public is inten-
 sively Savings minded" was shown by the increase of 72.468 accounts
 between January 1st and June 30th,
 bringing the total of all accounts in
 mutual savings banks to 13,432.139
 a high pointsfor all time. The aver-
 age of this great number of ac-
 counts amounted to $743.31 on
 June 30th, a slight decrease from
 the average six months ago of | ed out to-day that the best possible
 measure of savings activity is num-
 Der of accounts rather than the
 amounts involved.
 l While accounts were growing the
 banks likewise increased their ra- | tio of surplus to deposits. Six
 months ago the figure stood at 11.2 i per cent for the whole group of | mutual savings banks, operating in | IS states. On June 30th 1t was 11.5 per cent, or $1.11 1-2 for each $1 on depoist in mutual institutions. | Such a gain under current condi- tions is looked upon as a somewhat | remarkable increase of a very | large sum of money.
 The surplus account showed a total of $1,143,809.760 on June | 3Oth, representing a rise of $20,- | 555,787 from January 1st. This
 also was a record figure for all | time.
 In the six months period assets
 of the mutual savings banks de- clined by $1S,195,611 to a grand total of $11,188,680.126, just be low the peak figure on January l.lst and higher than the figure of a year ago by $53,318,867.
 Deposits, in the same period. showed a tendency to fluctuate. New York had a net gain of $24.- 5S4,207, the best record in the IS
 states. Twelve of these reported small decreases against gains in Delaware. Maine. Maryland. New Jersey, New York and Oregon. Balancing gains against losses. the decrease for the country was $45.- 770,86S. the total deposits being $9,9S4,243,517. It is an interesting sidelight that deposits for the whole year, June 30. 1881 to June 80, lboZp were lucESdSco Dy 9tStVsooVs
 The average interest rate on June 30th was 4.09 per cent in the IS states, compared to 4.S2 per cent six months ago. At this rate, the banks will pay about s409,000 900 during the year in the form of dividends. Every active mu. tual savings bank has paid its divi. dends, noit only this year. but throughout the period since mid. summer 1929. The only effect of business conditions on deposltors has been a lowering of rates. there. by adding to surplus, increasing the margin of protection.
 Wilson q. Wing, president of the Providence Institution for Savings. Providence, R. l.. and head of the National Association Of Mutual Savings banks said the reduction of deposits in the first six months of tho year was nornptl condition. He added that the reason the rc. duptioD had not appeared earlier ef funds from other types of ha iiks Into mutual institutions. which re. plonished the withdrawals of typi. eal savings bank depositers. in
