Abiolute Confidence it Felt by the Bank
ing Institutions.
BANKS Will RESUME BUSINESS TODAY
Tim for Operation Morrl Ip Flv
Days to Accommodate th
Demand from Increas
ing; Business.
BAN FRANCISCO, May 21. That abso
lute confidence reigns in banking circle
here waa mad evident today when sev
eral saving Institutions announced that
they would open their doors for business
tomorrow. Thl announcement came in
the nature of a mild surprise, for it had
been definitely agreed that ail aavlng
Institutions would open their doors on
Monday, May 21. Many of the savings
banks which will commence active op
eration tomorrow, Instead of five day
latr, a had been agreed upon, give a a
reason for th early resumption of busi
ness th fact that It la good for tho
public aa for the -financial policy to thu
demonstrate to commercial circle the
tabtltty of th institutions. Other cf
the saving .banks which have decided
upon an early opening do a commercial
business, and the claim I set up by them
that they could . not consistently open
up. the commercial department and re
fuse to do business in the aavlng branch.
The agreement. . entered Into among the
cQramercla. 4nka set tomorrow a th
date for tinning.
Three that Will Open.
Among the aavlng Institutions which
will resume operation tomorrow are the
Hibernian Saving bank, the Humboldt
Baring bank, the Scandinavian-American
bank and th. German Saving bank.
The Hibernian Savlnga bank, one of
th largest institutions of It kind in the
west, i structurally lniaci, ajmougn me
interior furnishings were destroyed by
fire. Its vault, with thair double door,
each having eight thicknesses of steel
plate, were opened readily, the locka Im
mediately responding. Not only were th'.'
contents uninjured, but the vaults werx
cool, the heat of the roaring furnace
Wlileti " liad sorrounderf therri nor being
abl tu penetrate-the stacl " wall. Lat
week the Hibernian had It, 000.000 taken
from the mint and placed alongside th
coin in-it vault.
Yesterday, wishing to be fully equipped
for any emergency, another 2,000.000 wa
transferred from the mint to the bank'
building. The transfer waa made by th
use of a sand and brick wagon, and so
quietly waa It done that hundreds of spec
tator who were watching the building op
eration nearby were unaware of th trans
action. When th bank open tomorrow It
probably wilt proceed to business without
restriction-end limitation and continue
on that line.
Montatontery and Market the Tenter.
The corner of Montgomery and Market
street Is now a lively financial center, th
activity being heightened by th Crocker
Woolworth National. Among th other
bank clustered in this vicinity and ready
for business. tur the Well-Fargo, Nevada
National bank, . th I'nlon Trust company
and the savings bank of th same name,
the French Saving and th Russo-Chlnea
bank.

That condition ara rapidly approaching

Th extortionate charges for automobile
hire during th firat two week following

of hug proportion before th finance com
mittee finishes with auditing the accounts.
In the tabulated statement filed with th
committee of forty on Saturday thr ap
pears a charge of I1&7.5M for automobile
service. It Is' a well known fact that there
are not more than 1,000 machines in San
Francisco and that alt of them could b
bought -outright ' for a eum not much Id
excess of the amount charged for the hlr
of probably half that number.
Only 12 claim were presented to cover
thl sum. The average rental a day wa
136. but In many Instances the charge waa
even higher. What the committee will do
withthls Item is still undetermined. In the
same table I a statement of charge for
milk, butter, egg, bread, vegetable, drugs,
