cussion of the same it was
laid on the table until the
next meeting, as a number
of changes were suggested
by members of the council
and parties in the audience.
Several members of the
council expressed them
selves as not being ready to
vote on the ordinance until
they had made further in
vestigation and talked with
some of the property own
ers in the district.
The chief point of objec
tion seemed to be that on
the west end of First street
west of Edison avenue,
which in the ordinance call
ed for concrete buildings
but it was stated by some
that the concrete buildings
would be impractical here,
owing to the fact that it
would be hard to get proper
foundations because of the
washing of the tide in this
locality. Also the point was
raised that the city had no
jurisdiction or authority
over the kind of buildings
the government would put
up on their holdings now .oc
cupied by the life saving
station.

NO FINANCIAL
DANCER HERE
Bankers Say There Is No
Sign of Financial Trouble
On the Pacific Coast as
Result of War.
The fact that some eas
tern banks have been issu
ing clearing house certifi
cates to each other, has cans
ed some anxed some anthm
ed some anxiety throughout
the country and even .local
ly has seemed to frighten
the more timid. But when
the situation is once viewed
from a sensible standpoint
there is absolutely no cause
for alarm ; on the other hand
conditions look better than
they have for some time,
and the fact that these clear
ing house certificates have
been issued among the eas
tern banks has no effect on
the public, as they have not
yet been asked to accept
them.
The policy of the present
administration is to throw
open the national treasury
to the people to forestall
any attempt at a panic that
might get started. Nation
al banks can get money
from the government to
move the crops. This will
prevent any possible panic
and the people have no real
cause for alarm.
J. L. Kronenberg, presi
dent of the Bank of Ban
don only smiled when asked
of the possibility of the
banks here issuing any of
the certificates. He stated
that the possibilities were
so remote as to need no com
ment. E. D. Webb, cashier of
the First National Bank,
stated that the conditions
here would not be affected.
Portland bankers are of
the opinion that the issu-
inceof clearing house cer
ificates in the east will
have no effect on the North
west.

W. F. Harmon of Marsh

ty on the way. They have
