PETE BATTELLO -
MOURNS LOSS OF a
FAITHFUL TRUCK

After completing six years OF
faithful service, the 1927 Chevrolet
truck of the North Transfer Co.,
which was practically destroyed by
fire at 9 o'clock this morning,
while parked on Franklin Street,
at Second is being mourned by
Pete Battello, owner.
The truck, which had a capac-
ity of one ton, was the only truck
Of the company which would climb
any hill in any kind of weather
and could always be relied upon.
Mr.. Botello said 1t seldom re-
quired repairs and one of the Or
iginal tires which had never suf-
fered a puncture. was still being
used when the blaze occurred.
1t is believed a short circuit
caused the fire which called out
the Fire Department early today.
Though the car had just been
filled with gasoline, by good for
tune, the tank did not explode.
The blaze was extingished by the
Department in about fifteen min
utes, but not before considerable
damage was done to the truck,
from which Mr.. Bottello expects to
salvage a few parts.

STOCKHOLM, Sept. 27-Because
of large cash deposits, for which,
it is announced, sufficient safe
short-time investments can not be
found for the present, the Stock
holm Enskida Bank, one of the
largest in Sweden, has reduced the
interest paid on deposits and cap
ital accounts by one-half of one
per cent
The fact that the check account
deposits of the private banks at
the Central Bank of Sweden
amounted to the unusually large
sum of 197,000,0 900 kronor on Aug
ust IL indicates the other large
Swedish banks are confronted by
the same problem.
