National Banks Grew and Prospered, Williams Says
Washington Jan 22 The comptroller of the currency John Skelton Williams reports that national banks grew and prospered last year despite war burdens. Deposits rose nearly two billion dollars while bond sales via banks totaled about half of Liberty bonds up to October 31, 1918. Only two bank failures occurred and the banking system is praised for stability and prudent management. Williams notes the government’s rail control averted a financial catastrophe and urges reforms including deposit guarantees for small sums and bank director accountability.

Missouri lawmakers receive the biennial highway commission report amid calls to investigate its failure to build roads. Despite $2,000,000 in funds and expert staff, the two year period produced 40 miles of hard surface roads, 22 miles partially built, and plans for 287 miles unstarted.
