Elastic Money Bill Reported With Changes By House Panel
Washington December 19 The house committee on banking and currency decided to favorably report credit currency bill with changes.

Supporters claim it offers elasticity to ease money strain during crops and emergencies, with bankers estimating up to 200 million dollars in extra currency.
