IT is generally expected that Post.
master General Crcsswcll viii, in ad-
diticn TO his favorite measure OF q
Government Telegraph, recommend
the establishment of Postal Savings
Bank.
Speaking of this system the Inter
Ocean relates how The Postal Savings
institution was inaugnratca in Great
Britain, and briefly its workings, as
follows:
The system was established by MIR.
Scudamore, who subsequently, so sue
cessfully instituted the postal telc-
graph. Deposits are received at all
the money order Offices which arc
scattered everywhere over the coun-
try, and interest at the rate of three
per cent. is allowed on all sums re-
naming on deposit year or more.
The money is received at any time but
begins drawing interest only ut The
beginning of the next quarter. Per-
sons wishing to make deposit go to
the nearest post Office, make out a
ticket for the amount and receive d
pass book for the deposit. The money
can be drawn out at this Office or any
other, on production of this pass book
by the depositor or his legal assignee,
and on proving his identity.
There can be no question but that
the establishment of this system in
this country is worthy of thorough
consideration, and, if successful else
where, as it is said to be, we know
notwhy it would not be equally SO here.
1t is probable that the Government
could pay nearly or quite rate of in
terest on deposits equal to the interest
OH its five per cent. bonds. The adj.
vantage to the depositcr would be
that he could draw at any prominent
post Office, and that it would be safe
beyond all question. Postmastera be-
ing obliged to make weekly reports,
or, in some cases, daily reports OF their
doings in this department upon the
same principle that they now do in
the money order business, would rem
der it impossible for them to have at
any time large balances on hand from
which to peculate. We must say that,
If a plan can be safely adjusted to
work so admirably as does the money
order system, and VIC think there can
be, we are decidedly in favor OF the
