extra Nevada City Nu Nevada pant Nugget is a Member of the United Press Vol. febae No. 37 The —— Seat —— “NEVADA CITY, iialcsiedils SCs sce — D Center Roosevelt Orders Fou — ~ 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, .”; CALES HOLIDAY Now, therefore. I Franklin D. Roosevelt, president of the United. States of America, in view of such national emergency and by virtue of the authority vested in me by said act and in order to prevent the export ,hoarding, or earmarking “of gold or silver coin or bullion or currency, do hereby proclaim, order, direct: and declare that from Monday, the sixth day of March, to Thursday, the ninth day of March, 1938, both dates _ inclusive, there shall be maintained and observed by all banking institutions and all branches thereof located in the United States of America, including the territories and insular possessions, a bank holiday, and that during said period all banking transactions shall be suspended. During such holiday, hereinafter provided, no such banking institution or branch shall pay out, export, earmark, or permit the withdrawal-or transfer in any manner or by any “device whatsoever, of any gold or silver or bullion or currency or take any other action which might facilitate the hoarding thereof; nor shall any such banking institution or branch pay out deposits, make loans or discounts, deal in foreign exchange, transfer credits from the United States to any place abroad, or ~ transact any other banking business whatsoever. TO PERFORM FUNCTIONS During such holiday, retary of the treasury, with the approval ef the president under such regulations as he may prescribe, is authorized and empowered (A) to permit any or all of such banking institutions to perform any or all of the usual banking functions, (B) to direct, exceptions as coin the secrequire or permit the-issuance of clearing house certificates or ~ Other=--evideneces.of claims ‘against assets of banking institutions, and (C) to authorize and direct the creation in sueh banking institutions of special trust accounts for the receipt of new deposits which shall be subject to withdrawals on demand without any restriction or limitation and shall be kept separately in cash or im deposit in federal reserve banks or invested in obligations of the United States.

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 laid: cats 2 City Engineer Uren is now Sotnaae ing the probable cost of replacements.
