To Insure Knowledge It was resolved that the associa- tion and its amliated local associa- tions "continue to exert their infiu-, ence to insure exact knowledge of present conditions and a reasonable indication of future demand for new space, and urge that a careful study be made of the income required; and- a proper valuation be made by com- petent and trustworthy authorities and that a comprehensive study be made of the proposed building be- fore any contracts are closed, either for financing or for construction." Suggestions Mule It had been suggested at the con- ference of presidents that members would do well to work more closely with investment bankers, that un- wise new building projects might be discouraged and it wss also sug- gested that the sssociation keep in touch with the United States Treas- ury department to advise the govern- ment of actual building conditions in the nation, so the department could keep national banks. informed. This was stated at the association’s headquarters, where the text was made public of 1 resolution drawn up by a special commmittee of which E. H. Benner, of Omsha. Neb., wss chairman.
