Many County Exhibits , 1929, RECOVERY .OF METALS FROM SECONDARY SOURCES IN 1930 The values of certain nonferrous metals recovered from secondary sources in 1930 is reported to the United States Bureau of Mines, De partment of Commerce, as $193,{ 255, 100, which is $173,773,800 less ‘than in 1929, and the total quantity ; decreased 24 per cent. This decrease tin value was partly due to the lower hones average prices of copper, lead zinc, tin, and antimony in 1930.' There were, morevover, large de_ creases in the quantity of each of jthe secondary metals recovered. The shipments of scrap copper and brass to Europe declined and the imports were less in 1930 than ‘in 1929. The smelters that treat mainly primary material produced 26,809 tons less secondary copper in ‘1930 than in 1929. There was decrease of 26 per cent. insecondary lead reported by regular smelters that treat mainly . gre and bullion, and there was also ‘a large decrease in the output ofi ‘lead in alloys reported by smelters’! that treat scrap and drosses. : The zine recovered by redistillation decreased about 12,500 tons, . and that recovered by remieition With and sweating decreased about 3,600 sixty Branches, with an Executive the quantities of zinc dust, ist chloride, and zinc sulphate made; from zine residues and zinc dross. .

The only old, tin coated containers treated were} those used to make window weights and for the precipitation of copper from mine waters; Be tin was recovered in these processes. The turnover of scrap metals and drosses was below normal for plants using metals operated on a much reduced scale. The constantly de_ clining average monthly prices of nearly all metals made the year unprofitable for secandary metal deal_ ers and smelters. There were few business failures among the large operators, and scrap metals were mine. Fruits, grains, industries, als, scenic attractions and vegetables will feature the county ex_ hibits, for which decorative booths have been erected. Despite the dePression, between 30 and 40 counties will be entered. Cash awards total $10,000 and $1,200 worth of eups are offered counties.

In order to bring this about, a new district set-up, built upon-the operat, ing structure and mechanism of the present plan, has been decided upon by the administration of the Bank. This new setup will go into effect on September ist. The district plan of management, which was instituted a number of intensive study of branch banking systems elsewhere, and a close boservation of community development throughout the State. The plan en_ abled the Bank to meet the distinctive problems of the Branches and their respective communities, in a more thorough manner than had been posible in pervious periods. dition wherein the Branch develop_ ed added authority to make its own decisions and meet its own peculiar problems without disturbing the general administrative scheme. With its expansion plans completed to the point where it may further concentrate on the development of its Branch contfrol,-the Bank finds it impossible to so adjust the plau may vest in the Branches much of the administrative initiative and authority that they enjoy_ ed as independent institututions. The enlarged set-up calls for the creation of seven districts, each of which shall contain. approximately in charge of each ‘district. Each of these Executives lmust thoroughly familiarize himself

But for this modern method, many communities would still depend on salt pork and barreled beef! Meat packing companies maintain vast systems of distribution in this state— pay five million dollars in annual wages—buy approximately 60 million dollars’ worth of California livestock every year. Credit, extended by ‘Bank of America, helps to provide a year-around cash market for livestock producers. In distributing meats, the packers also make constructive use of this Bank's statewide service. Through Bank of America branches in all parts of the state, they accumulate funds collected from dealers. The Bank promptly forwards these funds to any designated point. Thus large sums that would otherwise remain in transit are released for productive use. This is one of many economies that enable the packers to conduct their business on a small fraction of the con' sumer's dollar. Your banking requirements may be less complex. But whether you desire the most complete commercial facilities, or a sound, convenient depository for savings, Bank of America is equipped to serve you well. ank of America National Trust & Savings Association District Attorney W.
