There was lively debate in the House, last week, on the question of giving depositors con- trol of Savings Banks. The committee were opposed to the proposition, and the objection was urged that it would inevitably throw the management of these organizations into the hands of capitalists. Gallagher made pow erful appeal for allowing depositors to elect at least minority of their governing boards. The House evidently had some sympathy with him, for the bill was ordered printed by vote of 81 to 79.
