~ Extra Session To Enact
Emergency: Legislation
At nine o'clock last night
the news was flashed across
the continent that President
Roosevelt had proclaimed a
bank holiday to overlap by a
few hours the convehing of
Congress in special session on
Thursday.
The holiday provides for the
issuance of clearing house
certificates to maintain a medium of exchange with w hich
business can function during
the holiday. It claps an embargo on exports of gold and
silver. The proclamation also
provides. that any bank that
gains the government. consent to do so, may stay open
to conduct its business as usual and accept new deposits
to be placed in trust accounts
subject to full withdrawal.
Insofar as the s tate banking situation is concerned, the
national proclamation supercedes any state action that may
be proposed. The President
acted by virtue of wartime legislation which gives him such
authority in times of_ national
emergency.
It was learned this morning
that the Bank of America,
with 410 banks in this state
was preparing to issue Bank
of America script, good in exchange of credit in all its
branch banks in this state.
This—-was—intended—merely .
as an emergency measure and
whether the Bank of America
will proceed with it, pending
the issuance of clearing certificates under the national emergency authority, is a question to be settled, probably
within the next few hours.
Here is the full text of Pres
ident Rossevelt’s proclamaiG: : ae
Whereas there have been
heavy and unwarranted’ withdrawals of gold and currency
from: our. banking institutions
for the purpose of hoarding; and
Whereas continuous and increasingly extensive speculative
activity abroad in foreign exchange has resulted in severe
drains on the nation’s stocks of
gold; and
Whereas these conditions
have created a national emergency; and
Wheheas it is in the best interests of all bank depositors that
a period of respite be provided
with a view to preventing further hoarding of coin, bullion or
curreney or speculation in foreign exchange and permitting
the application of approximate
measures to protect the interest
or our people; and
THE LAW
Whereas it is provided in section 5 (B) of the act of October
O77 £OL7 C40: Stat <i: 411) as
amended, “‘That the president
may investigate, regulate, or
proltibit; under such rules “and
regulations as he may prescribe,
by means of licenses or otherwise, any transactions in foreign
exchange and the export, hoarding, melting, or earmarking of
gold.or. silver coin or bullion or
currency ., "; and
Whereas it is provided in section 16 of the said act ‘That
whoever shall willfully violate
any of the provisions of this act
or of any license, rule, or regulation issued thereunder and
whoever shall willfully violate,
any order of the president issuéd in compliance with the provisions of this act; shall, upoa
conviction, be fined not more
than $10,000 or, if a natural
person, impressed for not more
than 10.years,.or both, .”;

that brooks no delay in putting to
rights.
Redwood pipe leading from’ the
reservoir into the city system was
found to be in bad condition, not as
to the redwood, but. the steel wire
wrapped around the pipe staves. In
many places this wire wrapping was
. found to be corroded to such an extent that the pipes may burst at any
time.
In fact with) but a twenty-five
foot head, one section did burst
during the last days of the rectn water famine when the reservoir was
filling.
In other sections old pipe of far
too small diameter to provide adequate water for service demanded,
it was discovered, must be replaced
with larger pipe, and in some seections old iron water pipe badly corroded must be replaced.
» One of the worst faults of the sys-.
tem was found to be the junction of
a six inch pipe to a nine inch pipe
through which flows the free water
belonging to the city into Canada
Hill reservoir. Nine inch pipe from
down the slope
was succeeded by six inch pipe. This
cuts off nearly two thirds of the
city’s free water. The volume -of
free water delivered in Canada Hill
reservoir determines the amount of
water which the city must purchase.
The only explanation offered. for
this condition was, that _ Sometime
or other in the city’s history, the
city father’s were offered a bargain
in six inch pipe and they proceeded to
join it to the nine inch Dipe parisons

doubt regarding whether it will be
cheaper to remove the steel . wire
wrapping from the tedwood pipe, .
and substitute copper bands, three

pipe with new. pipe. The redwood pipe
