BANKERS' BILL
FAILS TO PASS
Relations between the city of Sa
lem and the local banks, which are
not neighborly at beBt these days,
became further strained last night
when the city council failed to pass
the depository ordinance bill which
has been prepared at the direction
of the banks.
For many years the banks have
been paying 2 pecent Interest on
deposits of public funds. Now, on
aount of numerous federal loan
plans, and the difficulty of finding
good Investments for their money.
the banks are paying only a frac
tion of one per cent. The bill up for
consideration last night provided
that the city and the banks agree
on the interest to be paid.
Alderman O'Hara, chairman of
the ways and means committee, said
the bill was simply to make a lower
rate of Interest than 2 per cent le
gal. '
This Is a bankers' bill," said
O'Hara. "I don't like It, but I guess
we have to take It."
Some other aldermen, notably
Townsend, counselled against ap
proval of the bill, while some feared
that failure to pass It would mll
utate against the banks cashing city
warrants. The measure was over.
whelmlngly beaten.
Bookworms Approve
Code In Washington
Washington (LP) Bookworms here
apparantly have adopted a code.
Figures released by the Public Li
brary showed a decrease of 7,000
borrowed books In 1933 under 1932.
In addition, officials said, fewer
persons were seen In reading rooms.
However, It was said that reason
for the decline possibly may be at
tributed to an unemployment de
crease assuming people borrow
more books when they are out of
work.
The population of the Union ol
South Africa Is estimated at 7,750,- .
000.
