Plan Additional
Veterans’ Bond?
Plans are now being shaped for
issuance of a part of the second
$2,000,000 in bonds for loans to vet
erans of the World vtar authorir/e.d
by the 1929 general assembly, sub- ■
Ject to the approval of file voters of I
the state which was given at the!
1930 election.
The 1931 general assembly was
quite chary about bonds, limiting its:
authorization to $400,000 for a new.
State prison and ’the Gardner ad
ministration has proceeded on the
same policy. In fact, nothing has|
been said about the veterans' loan
bonds and there have been intima
tions from time to time that noth
ing would be dohe about the issue,
at least for the present

Closed Banks Open
Up In North Carolina
Twenty-eight Reopen Since First o*l
Vear. Safeguards Thrown
Around Banks.
■Special to The Star.i
Raleigh, June 16.—While 11 North
Carolina state banks have been
closed by the chief state bank ex
aminer and his successor, the com
missioner of banking, since the first
of the year,, 28 of those previously
closed have reopened for business,
Gurney P. Hood, commissioner of
banking, said today.
More than half of those reopened
in the five months were banks that
were forced to close when the big
Central Bank and Trust Co., of
Asheville, closed Its doors early last,
winter, carrying with it many small
er banks In the western part of the
state. All of the reopened banka
again started business before Mi.
Hood assumed his newr post two
weeks ago when the geueral assem
bly. of which he was a member, ad
journed. Two of them were allowed
to open by Word H. Wood, acting
commissioner of banks, and the oth
er 24 by John Mitchell, chief state
bank examiner for the N. C. corpor
ation commission.
Commissioner Hood states that it
is much harder for a bank to open
since the ratification May 13 of “an
agt defining the conditions under
which banks which have been taken
possession of by the commissioner ol
banks may reopen for the transac
tion of business," and none have
been reopened since it was enacted
The stringent requirements for re
opening Commissioner Hood explain
ed. included restoration of impaired
capital, assurance of safety of new
money deposited, and that there is
public necessity for the reopening of
a closed bank.
The acreage to soybeans in Har
nett county has been increased by
ten times this season, reports coun
ty agent J. O. Anthony.
