Sign Your Inquiries—Questions on Investments 
A LMOST all magazines know the 
" annoyance of the anonymous letter 
which asks for “an answer in your col¬ 
umns,” and the writer who is unwilling 
to sign his name often specifies “next 
week” or “at once.” The American 
Agriculturist has repeatedly stated 
that all letters must be signed, that no 
names will be used in reprinting a letter 
and that no letter will be used, even with¬ 
out a name, if request to withhold it is 
made. The writer of an unsigned letter 
surely cannot ask us to open our crowded 
columns to answer a question which may 
be of interest only to him; we receive 
hundreds of letters a month and select a 
few to print because they are of general 
interest. 
Recently we accidentally included in 
the mail sent to our attorney a letter 
signed only by the initials “T. M.,” and 
our attorney returned to us an answer 
which we thought put the matter very 
neatly. As the question is in regard to 
banking practice, which, affects almost all 
our readers, we are reprinting it in its 
entirety: 
“Dear T. M.: 
Why not identify yourself? It is muck 
easier to correspond with a person than 
with initials. Concerning your inquiry 
as to the safety of banks, we wish to say 
that because of the strict examinations to 
which banks are now-a-days subjected, 
all are more or less safe. The only advan¬ 
tage in depositing with a national bank is 
that in case of failure the stockholders are 
liable for bank debts to the extent of the 
par value of stock they hold. That is a 
provision in the National Banking Act 
and does not apply to other banks. It is 
our opinion that membership in the 
Federal Reserve System, while it is 
desirable, adds nothing to the safety of 
the bank.” 
Questions About Investments 
Can you give any information on an investment in 
the Pennsylvania Power & Light Co.? I have some 
$7,000 worth of Government bonds which pay 4)4% and 
this company pays 7%. _ Would you advise changing 
to this stock and do you think it safe? Attached circular. 
—S. W H.. Pennsylvania. 
If the security to which you refer is the 
7 per cent, bond of the Pennsylvania 
Power & Light Company due 1951 and 
selling about 10534 we consider it a good 
investment. Of course paying that price 
you would not get quite 7 per cent, return 
and it would be foolish to dispose of all 
your Liberty bonds in order to buy this 
utility issue attractive as it appears. 
Perhaps you mean the 7 per cent cumula¬ 
tive preferred stock of the Pennsylvania 
Power & Light Company. This seems 
reasonably good but not, of course, as 
high grade as the bond. The same 
objection to selling Libertys to buy this 
stock applies as in the case of the Pennsyl¬ 
vania Power & Light bond and in greater 
degree. Do not put all your funds into 
any one security unless it is a government 
bond. If, however, you choose to buy a 
small block of the stock or one of the 
bonds we see no objection. 
* * * 
I am thinking of investing some money in the New 
York State Gas and Electric Company, with offices in 
Ithaca, N. Y. They pay 7% Is this a safe investment? 
—C. D. L., New York. 
Presumably you refer to the 7 per 
cent, preferred of the New York State 
Gas & Electric. This is such a small 
issue that there is little or no market for 
it in New York City and information 
regarding it is difficult to obtain. If, 
however, it is an established public utility 
operating in your immediate neighbor¬ 
hood and they publish regularly earning 
statements with which you are in position 
to keep in touch, the chances are it is 
good. The outlook for all gas and elec¬ 
tric companies is very favorable. On the 
other hand for most people a preferred 
stock of a larger company and one better 
known is a better investment. It is 
always easier to get your money if you 
want to sell, such as' Consolidated Gas, 
Electric Light & Power of Baltimore 
which recently offered a new 6J4 per cent, 
preferred issue at 101. This is a good 
investment and has a good market. Even 
higher in grade is New York Telephone 
G}^ per cent, preferred selling about 110, 
Keep Away From Oil 
Please advise me of the reliability of the Penna Oil and 
Development Co., of which I was induced to take Sol) 
worth of stock. I am attaching circulars and letters,— 
W. B, Pennsylvania. 
We have no information about the 
Pennsylvania Oil & Development Co, 
Financial manuals at our disposal do not 
list it. Stock in all oil companies even of 
old established companies is speculative 
in greater or less degree. In new and 
unknown companies it is a gamble with 
all the chances against you. The, only 
safe rule is to leave all oil securities en- 
tirely alone. 
New Motor Law Effective in 
New York 
ORE than 20,000 owners of taxicabs 
or automobiles for hire upstate in 
New York will be affected by the pro¬ 
visions of the Joiner bill passed by the 
last legislature, which requires that every 
automobile operated for hire on the high¬ 
ways or streets of the state of New York 
must be covered by a bond or policy of 
insurance against liability and property 
damage in an amount not less than $2,500. 
The law was effective July 1 and merely 
extends to the entire state the same re¬ 
quirements that have prevailed in Greater 
New York, Buffalo and Rochester for the 
past several years. 
The law was the subject of much dis¬ 
cussion in both houses of the legislature 
during the last session, its sponsors argu¬ 
ing that it filled a long felt want for the 
protection of the pedestrian, the owners 
of private cars and those riding in taxi¬ 
cabs; the chief contention being that a 
considerable percentage of the ownership 
of upstate cars offered for hire is beyond 
the law as to the actual recovery of 
damages to the same extent as is the case 
in cities of the first .class. 
The law provides that these policies 
of insurance or bonds must be filed with 
the commissioner of motor vehicles on 
or before July 1 in order to legally use the 
vehicle for hire anywhere in the state 
after midnight of June 30. Failure to 
comply with the law in this respect will 
make the registration plates issued for the 
vehicle subject to revocation. 
New York Milk Laws Amended 
IIAPTER 48 of the Laws of 1922 
of the State of New York has been 
amended by the New York State Legis¬ 
lature in two instances, the bills making 
the amendments being approved by 
Governor Smith the last week of March. 
Section 46, which defines butter, has 
been amended as follows, the portion in 
italics being recently enacted: “The 
term ‘butter’ when used means the pro¬ 
duct of the dairy usually known by that 
term, which is manufactured exclusively 
from pure, unadulterated milk or cream 
or both with or without salt or coloring 
matter, and containing not less than 80 
ver centum by weight of milk fat.” 
Section 50 of Chapter 48 has been 
amended to read as follows: “No person 
shall sell or exchange or offer or expose for 
sale or exchange any product as and for 
‘ice cream,’ which does not contain at 
least eight per centum of milk fat and at 
least eighteen per centum of milk fat 
and milk solids and fat combined.” This 
amendment increases the percent of fat 
from 6 >2 to 8 and increases the percent 
of milk fat and milk solids from fifter-a 
per centum to eighteen per centum, I
