All Margin Requirements
Boosted To 100 Per Cent

WASHINGTON, Jan. THUR
The Federal Reserve Board to-
night boosted margin requirements
or; stock market purchases to 100
rer cent. -s'
Some such action had been ex-
pected for several months to curb
what several government OFFICIALS
had characterized as ''inflationary
tendencies" ~
The order means that all future
purchases of stock must be for
cash..
Previously all stocks selling for
$40 or less had been placed on a
cash basis.
The boost in margin require
ment was the fourth since Feb. 4,
1914 when the margins were raised
10 40 per cent. The second boost
ing the rate to so per cent was eff
fective July 4, 1945, and the third
on July S, last year, raised the
rate to rs, per cent cash with all
purchases.
The requirements, according to
the board, relate only to future
purchases and sales of registered
securities. The board pointed, out
the regulations does not apply to
the use of credit 'for any purpose
except to finance transactions in
securities"
The rules Incorporating both
regulations in July of 1945 will now
require that whenever securities
held as collateral are. sold, the
proceeds must be rse5 to, reduce
or retire the customers indebted
ness '-'''-@ n
However, the board said, the
regulations do not require reduc-
ton or liquidation of existing ac-
counts or loans.
'sBy this action, the board has
used its authority to prevent the
further flow of borrowed money
into stock market operations"
Chairman Mariner Eccles said in
a prepared statement.

COUNCIL TO STUDY
TAKING OF CENSUS

Mayor W. Ronald Lane said last
night there will be special meet
ing of members of the City Coun-
Gil this morning at 10 a. M, for
further consideration of an interim
census count Of the City Of Will
mington.
The matter which has been in
allegiance for some time due to
undisclosed reasons may get &C
ton at this mornings meeting
since City Manager A. c. Nichols,
instrumental in delaying council
action on the matter last week,
said he would report to council
members today. He did not say
what his recommendation will be.
However it is expected that al
firmative action will be taken,
since the question of the source OF
funds for the census count was
settled at previous meeting
Nichols and City Clerk J. R.
Benson were instructed by the
council two weeks ago. at the in
stigation of Councilman J. E. l..
Wade, to scan the budget for funds
to defray the cost of a. special
population count, and report back
to the city board the following
week.
Although Benson said last Wed
nesday he had figures showing how
the census might be financed from
the current budget, Nichols asked
that the matter be delayed, pend
ing completion of the city bran
nual financial statement and the
recovery of City Attorney W. b.
Campbell from illness.
Councilman Robert S. LeGwln al
that time introduced motlo1
authorizing the census, but through
confusion in parliamentary pro
cedure, no vote was taken.

had been distributed and Camp
bell had returned to his law prac
tice, Mayor Lane conformed VIII

Due to wire, trouble in the

Although the wire service and
Western Union made every eff

graphic trouble caused by ad-

this impossible.

though electric lights flickered

hours Wednesday night, glass-en-
closed white coal'' has been fur
nishing illumination for Whining
ton for quite spell now some
60 years to be exact.
Historical data reveals that cleo
trio lights were first introduced
to the city in 1886, making Will
mington one of the first of the ma
ton to take on the new tangled
gadget which first was flashed"
on doubling public in 1878. And
two years later, street cars, aver
aging about four miles per hour
and horse drawn, helped to take
the soreness out of pedestrian
feet here.
Along about the same year, the
first train was placed in opera
ton, the line running from Will
mington to Wrightsville Sound for
the purpose of conveying pleasure
seekers from town to the sea-
shore.
The horse car system here was
a part of the $500 miles OF track
age throughout the nation in 1880
and the $4,000 cars were hauled
by a total of 100000 horses and
mules.
