The values of certain nonferrous
metals recovered from secondary
sources in 1930 is reported to the
United States Bureau of Mines, De

‘than in 1929, and the total quantity

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

regular smelters that treat mainly .

‘a large decrease in the output ofi
‘lead in alloys reported by smelters’!
that treat scrap and drosses.

The detinnning plants treated .
about 13,400 long tons less clean

plants was as tin content in tin

The turnover of scrap metals and
drosses was below normal for plants

nearly all metals made the year unprofitable for secandary metal deal_

BANK OF AMERICA TO
ADOPT NEW SYSTEM
Prompted by the success of its
present plan of district management
of its Branches; the Bank of Ameri'ea has decided to enlarge and deivelop the plan to an extent that will
‘make the Branches virtually auto'nomous and selfgoverning units. 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
with the Branches under his juris! diction, so that he may promote in_
‘dividual Branch control to the fullest extent. The plan states, furtherof the Bank, such as Credit, Trust,
Operations, etc., shall serve these
Executive Vice Presidents in an ad_
visory capacity, and through them,
‘shall conduct the departmental’ ac‘tivities of the Branches.
Coincident with this generaligation of departments and the conse_

administrative scheme, it has been

the dominant unit in the system.
“It was evident from the very in_
ception of the district plan that it
was the most feasible one for the
administration of the Bank’’, A J.
Mount, President, said. ‘“‘While built
upon the soundest banking practices
and policies, it also took into ac_.
count California’s widely diverse)
activities, each of which has its own!
peculiar banking problems.
“Furthermore, in the enlargement
of the district plan we will effect a
very decided simplification of the
Bank’s governing set-up, and a dis_
tinct localization of the authority of
our Branches giving the Branch
Executives greater leeway in mak_
ing decisions regarding the banking
needs of their communities. This
should not only add tothe fmportance of the Branch but to the de.
velopment of the community as
well. AJ
“The enlarged’ plan provides a
much greater flexibility in the administration of the Bank, a condi_
tion that will enable us to develop
easily, expeditiously and economieally’’.

speed fresh meats to every town and hamlet. 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.
