Elmwood Masons New Home.
Several weeks since the Masonic
Order of Elmwood purchased the
formerly known Langhorst block,
with a frontage to the north, and
also west, the largest building the
hustling city of Elmwood, and have
been since making changes and re
building it into a new home for the
order for a meeting place, and a ban-
euet room, for not alone their use
but so as to' accomodate any func
tion of the city which may choose
to hold a.benquet therein. The low
er floor which is 48x7 feet is now oc
cupied by Mr. Crane for a general
store and will be continued as such.
The entire upper floor will be used
by the order for their home, and is
being divided lnta a large lodge room,
for the meeting of the order which
Is on the north, and is 26x48 feet
in dimentlons. This room which has
north, west and east light is beau
tifully arranged for the work which
this order has, and for the meeting of
the lodge. The entrance to the upper
floor is effected by a new stair which
is placed on the west side with the
entrance on the west side and near
the north and landing near the mid
dle of the upper ffoer, at the recep
tion room -which Is directly south
of the lodne room, and on the wesi
side of the building, while just eaeii
of this Is the kitchen, which witn
the reception room extend the entire
width of the building east and west.
Just south of these two rooms 'is the
banquet room which is nearly the
size of the lodge room, being 248
feet and extending to the south, hay
ing views to the east, south and
west, and making a tnost pleasant
plaee for any function which may
ehoose to meet there. The building
is to be modern to the last word. ad
when completed with, make a caoet
pleasant and convenient place for
the order as well as the Eastern Star
to meet. The membership of both
the orders are very large, and they
have been needing more generous
quarters for their meetings and their
work. The change in the building
is being effected by the voluntary
work of the members and those who
are interested in the welfare of the
city and under the superiatendency
of Mr. Henry Brockman, an who has
direct charge of the work. The mem
bers are very generous in their con
tributions to work and time to the
effecting of the changes which is
necessary to the complete change of
the building. The exterior is to be
changed, the east and south eleva
tions are to be covered with steel
siding, and the north and west are
to be covered with best wooden sid
ing and painted. This will make a
building which will be a credit to
the order, and one which the city
and community may well be pleased
with. Elmwood is ever looking to
some improvement which will add
maerially to the welfare of the com
munity and in this they are getting
a fine additions to the better struc
ture which grace the hustling little
city.

Governor Will Send A Hew aesSftge
to Legislature Demanding
Sweeping Inquiry.
Lincoln, Feb. 14. Governor Weav
er will send a new message to the
legislature, either Friday or Monday,
clarifying his position on banking
legislation and the proposed audit
and investigations of the depositors'
guaranty fund.
The governor feels that his first
message to the legislature was wide
ly misinterpreted all over the state.
In the first message, he attempted
to present some of the ideas that
arose out of conferences on banking
bills In which he participated. In so
doing he did aot intend to give the
impression that the ideas set forth
were his own.
In bis new message the governor
is expected to present his own ideas
and not the ideas of his friends.
Weaver's Program.
The Omaha Bee-News learned from
an authoritative souree that Gover
nor Weaver's own ideas follow this
general outline:
1. The governor favors a sweep
ing and thorough audit and inves
tigation, not only of the guaranty
fund, and guaranty fund commission,
but of the administration of the state
banking department for 10 years or
more.
The governor holds that one of the
most important matters is an investi
gation of how payments were made
to depositors out of failed banks op
erated as solvent institutions by the
guaranty fund commission after they
were virtually insolvent.
One of the first matters to be
looked into, the governor believes, is
the preferences thus given to some
depositors over others. This is a ma
jor and widespread wrong, which
should be righted if possible at the
earliest possible moment. In this the
governor had digested the results of
The Omaha Bee-NewB investigation
of certain guaranty fund commission
actions.
2. The governor is in favor of
holding the state banks responsible
for a larger portion of the present
deficit than that they would pay if
the "basic banking bills" are pass
ed as now drawn. In one of these
bills, drafted by C. Petrus Peterson,
attorney tor the Nebraska .Bankers
association, It is provided that theJ
banks liability for the present (deceit
estimated at between $16,000,000
and $20,000,600, be lifted after they
pay their 1929 assessment, which Is
only about $1,600,000. The gover
nor believes more can and should be
levied' on the banks.
. v Can's.. Cut Levy.
3. The governor is not in favor
of reducing assessment on the state
banks to one-quarter of 1 per cent
on individual deposits, as proposed by
the bankers. He believes the assess
ment can be somewhat higher than
this and still keep the state banks
from turning into national banks.
4. The governor, however, is in
clined to side with leaders of the
house that remedial banking legis
lation can be enacted at this session.
He does not believe that the legisla
ture must hold off from enacting its
most Important banking legislation
until final results of an audit and in
vestigation are obtained. He hopes
to persuade senate leaders to come
to his view on the matter.
Audit Appropriation.
How much the governor will re
commend to the legislature as an ap
propriation for an investigation of
the guaranty fund and banking de
partment, is still a matter of doubt.
In his first message, the governor in
dicated $1,000 might do for a pre
liminary investigation of the guar
anty fund only. For the complete in
vestigation. Governor Weaver prob
ably will recommend a much larger
sum.
Thpr alrPJiHv. in th house,
biil Cor a $76,008 appropriation for
B audit and investigation, and it
can be asaended to fit the will of the
governor and legislature. Or the gov-
nr can introduce a bill of his own
on the matter, although it is too late
for any member of the legislature
to initiate such a bill. Omaha Bee-
