Construc tion work will probably begin at once as it is the desire of the Department to be able to vacate the old building by Nov. 1st when the present lease expires. Equipment for the new office will also be new and will be built especially for the new building.

REPORT BANKS BURDENED WITH MONEY ON SAVING® Richmond, Aug. 1. — The cumulation of funds in time'MP' savings accounts in some bangj} of the Fifth Federal Reserve dis trict is "bceoming more or lees of a burden,” the monthly review: of the Federeal Reserve Bank of Richmond says. Increase in savings and tiork posits, it is stated, is in same measure due to the fact that in vestment funds have been unable to find more profitable outlets in recent months. The member banks themselves cannot invest all these funds, with the result that pay ment of the regular interest rate on savings 4sposits is a burden. A brightening ptm«!*'< business conditions in the Fifth Federal Reserve district, which includes North Carolina, was the] smaller number of commercial failures. During June 112 of these were reported, compared with 135 in June, 1930. The li abilities in this year, however, were slightly larger than in 1930. During the first six months of 1931 there were 048 failures #in the fifth district compared Wth, 844 in the first six months of 1930. However, the liabilities of the 1931 failures totaled only $19,986, 263 white those for last year’s first six months totaled $22,165, 014. One unfortunate phase of eco nomic conditions reported on is the status of the increasing unm ber of unemployed. Those who lost their jobs last year in many cases had surpluses to carry them through, but these surpluses have been exhausted and the added number of unemployed is increas ing the problem, the report says. This means more charity work, and the call upon charitable and welfare agencies are steadily in creasing in number. Puppy love often leads to a dog’s life. GAME SEASONS OPEN AND CLOSE EARLU&t THIS YEAR Raleigh, Aug. 5. — A general trend toward an earlier ope,n sea son and correspondingly earlier closing is evidenced in changes in game laws pade by the General Assembly of 1931, according to an announcement yesterday by the Department of Conservation and Development. One group of outdoor enthu siasts which is ejected to be pleased is opossum ihd.eoon hunt ers, who will be allowed to take the field with dog and gun from 15 to 45 days earlier this fall than last year. Under the new seasons, racoons and opossum may be taken with M' x end dog after .October 1, this being state-wide. *La*t year the State was divided into two zones with hunters of the eastern sec tion being denied the privilege of this type of hunting until Novem ber 15. Trappers, however, will wait this year until November 15 to take racoons, opossums, mink, ot ter and muskrat. The season for taking furbearing animals by any method will close February 15. In the place of two zones with different seasons for squirrels, the squirrel season this year is state wide, extending from September 1 to December 31. Last year the eastern section was from October ! 15 to January 15, and the western season from September 15 to Jan uary 1. Deer season for this year has been moved forward 15 days, opening September 15 and closing January 15 in contrast to a sea son last year extending from Oct ober 1 to January 15. Petitions to extend the closed season on doe deer for two years are pending before the conservation board. ^s heretofore, bird and rabbit seasons open simultaneously on November 20.
