UNCLAIMED EENK BALANCES.
They Amount tn Nearly Half q MIL
a. lion Dollars in Canadian
In8titutIons.

II may seem strange, says the Toron-
to Monetary Times. that there is in the
banks of Canada a sum approaching
$4O0. GOO--in 1896 IL reached 1927. 1903 and
1897 il was S3ST DISTINGUISHING of un-
claimed balances. The sums are vari-
Gus. ranging. from one cent or frac-
tion Of dollar TO thousands Of dol
lars. One wonders how many of these
balances arise We have been told
that many an old man or old woman
will make deposits and not wishing
their relatives to know of their saw
ings. will say nothing about the fact.
Should such old persons die the only
way in which this deposit could prob
aD.y become known would be through
the list OF such sums published annual
ly Again. there are numbers Of per-
sons who. having long had an account
with bank. will draw all their money
except one or two dollars. This helps
to account for many small sum.
Naturally the older banks have the
arger accumulation of unclaimed
money in this or other ways. The
Bank of Montreal and che British
bank have large Gums but the city dis
trict savings bank exceeds either Of
them. having neorIy 1000 separate un-
claimed balances. the aggregate of
which is over $4,000. II is only of late
years that the government Of Canada
has busted itself in taking custody of
, these funds. Not. presumably, that
they were unsafe in the hands of the
hanks. but perhaps that it was a pa
ternal duty Of the state to control
them.
