A few days before the bank
opened, Mr.. Galley, then very young,
obtained position as runner for
the clearing house business. He still
has letter written by John A.
Prescott, then president of the bank,
to Charles E. White, National Bank
of Washington, introducing Mr.
Galley, ito whom you will please
pay all checks, drafts, ETC., drawn
on your bank and payable to our
order"
Mr.. Galley became vice president
of the bank in 1922. Active in the
District Bankers Association, he has
been elected treasurer Of the organ
ization % times. He has also been
vice president for the District As
sociation Of the American Bankers
Association.
Charter Printed in Five Papers.
On March 6, 1890, the charter was
accepted and its publication author
lied in five papers, The Star, Critic,
Post and two Germans papers, for
20 days.
The bank became a member of the
American Bankers Association one
year after it was opened, according
to records which are still treasured
The same records show that in
January, 1898, lin view of the great
amount of suffering and distress
prevailing in the city at the time,
on account of the extreme severity
of the winter, the board voted S1OO
for relief agencies"
The bank seems to have been a
bit conservative when it started
loans only to be made to depositors
for the present and in no larger
sum than $4,000 to any one man and
only on paper most likely to be
paid at maturity"
The trust department was organ
lied in 1927 by George F. Williams,
who is the present trust officer
assisted by j. Frank Rice and Mrs.
Helena D. Reed. The branch at
Seventeenth, and H streets, was
established in, 1924.

METER DECISION
LOCALLY TABLED
Police Board Discusses
Makes, But POstpOnes
Selection Until Later

A discussion at the police board
last night on the makes of meters
to be adopted by Waterbury has
boiled down to two types. The board
refused to divulge the name of the
meters from which a selection will
finally be made, as the meeting last
night was a closed one with no
votes taken.
AS yet the board of aldermen
have not passed the ordinance re-
quiring the use of parking meters
and the police board do not expect
to make decision until the bill
is passed.
Under The state statue, the police
board has full power to make any
parking regulations. Because in
other cities suits were brought chal-
longing the legality of parking
meters, the board feels 1t should
let the aldermen pass such an ordi-
nance before choosing the type OF
meter.
The time limit will have to be
established on certain street where
meters are used, the fees to be
charged, length of time permitted
for each penny. 5 cents, 10 cents
or quarter fee. The police board
will wait and have these stipulations
in the city ordinance before 1t will
proceed.

find it difficult going places
these days without that little
SeIective Military Service card
showing that they have COM

Ralph Armstrong, 20, Of
Montclair, N. j., charged with

his registration card and was
unable to produce it, although
claiming that he had registered,

Berlin, Dec. Tins Air raids
and the consequent din Of anti
aircraft fire with falling bombs
and flares scare the life out Of
monkeys and apes but leave ele-
plants, lions and tigers cold.
Alligators and crocodiles roar
and snap in agitation but wild
buffalo and bison are unconcern-
ed. Pigeon squads OF recent hatch
either fall out of their nests or
die Of fright. Snakes, even py-
thons, sleep the raids through.
That in a nutshell is how cap
tive wild life behaves after the
sirens shrek and the roar Of enc
my planes send four million Ber-
liners scurrying TO safety in cell
lars. as gathered from nightly OBJ
seryations by keepers of the local
Zoo, one of the largest and easily
the most decorative in Europe.
Furthermore. it lies in the heart
OF the city. at the head Of the
cafe and threaten street The kur-
frerstendamm. enclosed by
high stone wall behind which
reach forth the decorative steeples
OF India temples. Egyptian palaces
and sandstone mountains of Afri-
can wilds. The animals. in these

monkeys cavorting and chattering
about.
They're not the same since the
air raids. their chief keeper said.
THE tribe leaders refuse to come
out and they act as II sleeping
off hangover. When the siren
blows at night they seem to know
what's up and as the firing gets
heavy, they chatter and run around
inside their cage houses, finally to
hold family councils. These last
often quite long and they appear
to be debating and philosophizing
among themselves. Occasionally
one OF the chief apes sticks his
head outside and takes look
around he watches the sky but
ducks back inside the moment
firing starts again.
Reaction During the Day
I'VE notice that during the day.
II a German plane crosses over
the Zoo even at good height. our
monkeys and apes move inside
and the monkey business begins.
The monkeys have quickly asso-
ciated the nisht raids with planes.
despite the fact that the attack
ing planes at night are not visible
and motors are not always aud
ible."
The elephant keeper said that
during the first raids some OF the
