books of the new institution under the name of
The Washington City Savings Bank, aud such
business has been since continued by the sur-
vlving partner OF the house of Barron & Co,
Mr.. John A. Ruff, who is to-day the treasurer
and only owner of the Washington City SAT-
lngs Bank. He informs me that no other per-
son or persons have any financial interest in The
institution, and that il lie run for his sole use
and benefit. The charter provides that no
larger sum than 81 900 shall be received or held
at one time from any one depositor. Constant
and daily breaches Of this law appear upon the
books of the institution. The charter provides
for the restriction of loans or investments to
certain specified securities. Constant and daily
1reacn-s 0f this law appear upon the books Of
the institution.
The charter provides for annual reports in
which the character OF the securities invested
in shah be clearly specified. This provision has
not been carried out In such annual reports as I
have been enabled to obtain. The Institution
is, in fact, a well organized and safely, care
fully, and profitably conducted private banking
and brokerage establishment, under the guse
of a savings bank, and would respectfully
suggest that Il be required to quit the sacred
name under which il Is doing business; and as
sumo . title more in accordance with the char
acter Of the business now being conducted by il.
