YOUR SAVINGS BANK BOOKS.
Look Them up ana Bring Them TO th'
Bank.

One of the acts of the last legislature
provides that during 1893, and in every
third year thereafter, the trustees Of saw
ings banks and other institutions of saw
ing, shall call in the books of deposit of
their depOsitors, for examination and Veri-
fication by some person other than the
treasurer or his clerks. Notices are there
fore being sent to the thousands of depos-
itors of the Vermont and BrattlebOrO saw
ings banks, and of the other savings banks
of this county and state, designating May
as the month for this work, and urging de-
positors to forward their books as early at
possible. The books of the Vermons
bank will be examined by James Dalton
and those of the BrattleborO bank by E. D.
Whitney. The call of the Windham
county banks to depositOrs is published in
an advertisement on the fifth page of this
paper.
In some cases the addresses of depositors
are not known, and it is probable that a
few deposits will never be called for, the
original depositOrs being dead, and their
heirs having no knowledge of the deposits
One BrattlebOrO man received a notifica-
tion this week to bring his book to the
bank, and at first declared that he had no
deposit there. On investigation, however,
he found that small sum had been depos-
tied in his name during his infancy by a
relative. The amount due now exceeds
$50, more than four times the amount of
the original deposit.
