D Wimam Mhhef. cent Census f1g-
t1ress estimating the population Of
the Washington Metropolitan Area
to be 1899 900, an increase IN the
trading area OF 4l1,00o from the
official figures of 1910. Our banks
have. shown corresponding growth,
he asserted.
The year 1916 was a most active
one for the member organiza tons,
clearings exceeding $4,000, 000, 900, an
all time high and an increase of 20
per cent over the preceding year.
Aid Bond Campaign.
Mr.. Miller stated that the Capt.
tails banking institutions are taking
an active part In the Treasury's
special June and July Savings Bond
campaign. In 1916, he said, more
than $104, 100000 Series E, F and G
Bonds were sold In the District of
Columbia, the banks playing a vital
part In these results.
Eliminating Treasury War Loan
Withdrawals, the last published
statements of the banks continued
to show substantial gain In de-
posts. There has been an encour-
aging increase in the demand for
loans, and in spite of low interest
rates for employment of funds and
high operating costs, reasonable
earnings for the year have been
shown.
Accomplishments of the American
Bankers Association have greatly
benefited Washington banks and
trust companies, Mr.. Miller stated.
Particularly helpful to District
banks is the law passed by Congress
providing a six-year limitation on
action by the Government to recover
on Government checks bearing
forged Endorsements or signatures.
The ABA successfully opposed en-
sctment of the Wagner Ellender-
Taft Housing Bill and the Presi-
dents Reorganization Plan perpetu-
sting the National Housing Agency
setup. This biAtwould have had serb.
ously adverse effects on real estate
mortgage lending by banks in the
District and elsewhere.
The ABA has been successful In
obtaining further savings for banks
through reduction In the cost of
bank insurance and the broadening
Of insurance coverage.
Since Washington banks adopted
Saturday closing the year around
and went on a five-day week, IL
States have passed legislation per-
mitting banks to close on Saturdays,
Mr.. Miller asserted.
Turning to unsettled national con-
ditiorls, Mr.. Miller said industrial
peace between labor and manage
ment, large and efficient farm pro-
ductfon, lower costs and prices and
wage stability are giving the Nation
much concern.
Whether a serious recession de-
velops depends on decisions yet to
be made by business, labor and Gov

chine into balance.

City Ownership
OF Wafer Seen
In Alexandra
Request Of Fuirfux
Development Gives
Rise to Discussion
By Mory Lou Werner,

Consideration by Alexandria,s city
omcials OF Fairfax County de.
veloper's request for water from the
privately owned Alexandra Water
GO. may eventually lead to city
ownership Nof that utility, It was
disclosed today.
City Manager Carl Budwesky said
II had been brought out In discuss
slons that this request may presage
9 number OF similar inquiries from
Fairfax County developers In this
event, 1t was pointed out, continued
tapping Of the city's water SUNNY
might jeopardize adequate reserve
water for Alexandria.
Prospect Of continued demands
from county developers for water
exists because completion of the
Shirley Memorial highway viii open
Tor development large rural areas.
Mr.. Budwesky said.
State Has Final Say.
The Alexandra Water Co haa
asked City Council to approve a
contract to furnish water to the
Fairfax County developer. A copy
OF the contract is to be sent each
councilman for study. If the city
Withholds approval, however, the
company could ask the State Cor
poration Commission for approval.
The State Corporation Commission
would have final say in the matter
ana could override any action Of the
council.
Some city officials have indicated
that In order to safeguard the city,s
interests 1t might be desirable TO
purchase the water company.
In answer to questions yesterday.
Mr.. Budwesky said there were two
ways the city could acquire the
utility. First, 1t could negotiate with
the owners for an outright purchase.
In the event this failed, he said. the
city then could 60 to the s. c. C. and
ask for condemnation Of the COM
pany.
Virginia cities with q population
OF more than Is 900 are permitted BY
law to acquire utilities by condemna-
ton in the event the owners are
unwilling to negotiate for sale. Mr..
Budwesky said,
Need 100000 Gallons Monthly.
The water request submitted for
the Councils approval seeks to have
the Alexandria firm supply a 11s-.
acre development near Bailey's Cross
Roads. Mr.. Budwesky said this re-
quest alone eventually would lead To
a drain on the city's supply amounts
ing to 100000 gallons a month. /.
Consideration first was given 10
city purchase of the company In
l941 when Councilmen Charles
Burgess and Paul Delaney initiated
the move. It was decided later To
defer the issue until after the war.
The Alexandria Water Co. was
chartered by the s. c. G. lii 1851
and has been operated privately
since that time. City ofaciak said Ii,
currently is controlled by the Amer
lean Waterworks q Electric Co.. a

Brentwood Terrace Urges
3-P|afoon Firemen Plan

A motion favoring the adoption
of the three-platoon system in the
District Fire Department was passed
by the Brentwood Terrace Citizens
Association last night.
1t was pointed out that, although
it's equipment is among the finest in
the country, the fire department is
operating under an obsolete system
and budget. Firemen on the day
shift are forced to work more than
10 hours and those on the night
shift, for IA hours, with no holidays
off, 1t was said.

spector for the Capital Transit Co.,
pointed out that the transit COM
pany had a "a per cent decrease in
the number of accidents for Decem-
Der, from those in December, 1945.
