Currency could be appointed who would not become

Ii was also gwen out at the Department to-day, on
good authority that in ease the Controller

Government, only as security for proper observ-

In view of the fact that deposits of savings banks
throughout the country exceed those of the National
banks In NewEngland three to one, Congress will,
at its next session, have its attention called,
through the report on State banks, to the ne
