unable to do gave the former $780, the amount OF the
claim and held the 500 bill security The sharpers,

business of ours to speak of it. Savings deposits
should never be loaned out on other than real es-
tate and perhaps government securities. In other
countries state and government stocks are easily
procured to invest surplus funds, and they are
always considered as safe as real estate securities.
Here these are not to be had. Real estate should
therefore be the basis of security. The faith of
depositors Is too sacred to be pledged on anything
less certain. There are times when all other Sc
~curities pass more or less uncurrent. With vigil
ance, care and good Judgment on the part of the
firm, both the savings and deposit branches of
our bank may become a convenience and benefit
to our community, while a want of these may
make it only a curse.
