The frequent failures of savings banks,
bankers, and trust companies throughout
the country. has turned the attention of
many persons towards the system of Post
Office Savings Banks, which exists IN Eng
land and in Canada. Under this system,
the government. through post Offices desig-
mated for the purpose in the larger places,
becomes the depository of the savings OF the
people. The advantages of the plan are
that mechanics and persons of small means,
who cannot afford to run the risk of loss.
have at hand place Of deposit for their
savings. as secure as the government
itself. while the government secures
the use Of large sums in the aggre-
gate. at moderate rate of interest.
We find in the Montreal Ga-ette, an in
terestinr exhibit of the condition and sue
cess Of the Post Office Savings Banks of the
Dominion of Canada The system was
commenced on the LIST of April, 1865. Dur
ins the first three months eighty-one post
Office savings banks were opened, the de-
posts amounting during that period to
S2I2. 5O7. Since that time there has been
4 steady increase, the Offices now number
ing 239. while the sums ON deposit on the
3Oth Of June last, amounted TO S2,3O6, 9lo.
The average amount standing 10 the credit
of each depositor on the books of the say
inrS Banks at that date was SI36.33. In
addition to the amount standing to the
credit Of depositors, i further sum Of S6Oi,-
200 had been Withdrawn to be invested on
behalf Of the depositors, in five per cent.
Dominion stock. So that in fact the de-
posts of the people during the last five
years, in the post Office savings banks,
amount to the large sum Of S3,6ll, $50.
The cost Of maintaining the post Office say
ines banks has averaged somewhat less
than one-half of one per cent. on the
balance to depositors' credit year by year.
The interest paid to depositors during the
year was Sl26, 1872 or about five per cent.
The plan appears to be in all respects sue
cessful in Canada, and it will not be sur
prising if the next Congress takes up in
earnest, Il similar system for this country.
In many places, of course, as in this, where
there are sound, reliable savings banks, the
post Office savings department would be Of
small account. In others, it would un-
doubtedly prove of great advantage to the
people
