OF dependent children. It has been in
active operation in this state for the

received nearly 1900 children. It pro-
vides for it's little wards on the home
finding plan, but exercises great care
and discrimination where it places the
children.

dresses on Sunday, the Goth, in sever

zens aggrgating in cash and pledges
to be paid later about s67 90 for which
he desires to return his sincere thanks
to all the donors through ourcolumns.
Mr.. Jackson wishes us to say that
the Society always stands in need of
good homes for it's little wards.
Among others it has now a nice little
girl ten years old ready to go into
a good home Immediately.

BILL BOARD BONDS.
Assembly Committee on Streets VIII
Consider the Question.

The assembly committee on streets will
meet tomorrow afternoon at o'clock.
The ordinance providing for the erec-
tion and maintaining Of bill boards will
be one of the matters considered. At the
last meeting of the committee the ordi-
nance was amended so as to provide for
the giving Of a blanket bond Of $25, 900
where the person or firm had more than
five boards. On this point Assistant Cor
pOration Attorney Griggs has informed
the committee that there is some question
as the point might be raised that at the
time the blanket bond was given it cover
ed only such boards as had been erected,
and not for ones to be put up after the
bond was given. The ordinance provides
that persons or firms having five boards
or less must give a bond of $1,000 for
each one erected.
Another matter to come before the COM
mlttee is the final order for the paving
of Nelson avenue from Summit to West
ern avenue. Sentiment of the property
owners is divided on the kind Of pave
ment to be laid. A majority of the
owners are said to be in favor Of asphalt,
while a number insist on brick being used.
Petitions signed by those favoring both
kinds Of paving will be presented to the
committee.

DR.. Ohage's Dairy Inspection Ordt-
nance Is Dismissed.

The first attempt Of The city legal de-
partment to enforce DR.. Ohage's pet dairy
inspection ordinance failed in the police
court yesterday, when John Hanson, a
dairyman accused Of refusing to pay the
fees for having his cattle inspected, was
discharged. The motion to dismiss was
made by the prosecution. The step was
taken because it was discovered that the
ordinance had not been technically COM
piled with.
Hanson was arrested several weeks ago.
Il was the intention of both the city legal
department and the dairymen's associa-
ton that the Hanson case should be test
of the ordinance. Meantime the ordinance
has been amended so that the complaint
against Hanson under the unamended
ordinance would not hold. The point at
issue was that under the original ordt-
nance it was necessary for report of
the refusal of a dairyman to have his
herd inspected be reported to the cOun-
Gil This was not done in IfansOns case.
He agreed to allow Health Commissioner
Ohage's inspector to examine his cows.
but refused to pay the fees. He was forth
with arrested Under the amended or
dinance there is no necessity for a ref
erence Of like case to the council.

New German Savings Bank Method.

German banks have a novel way of
inducing persons to save money. In
stead Of waiting for the working men
and women to come to the bank and
make payments, one of the savings banks
introduced a few years ago the scheme Of
collecting from its depositors certain
fixed sums each week.
When depositor desires to open an
account he notifies the bank, giving hjs
address and the sum he intends to de-.
posit each week. AS soon as he makes
his first deposit he is furnished with
pass book giving the amount and tba
date of the initial payment After that
the collections are recorded by means
Of coupons. but the pass book is neces-
sary when payments are withdrawn. The
depositor Is given one Of these counons
whenever he makes deposit, and on If
is printed the amount collected. the date
and the number of his pass book.
In order to insure regular payments
If a coupon is returned by the collector
as unpaid after eight days, then the bank
has. the privilege of closing the depos-
itors account. The rate Of interest is
the same as in other savings banks. and
1T Is said the banks which have adopted
this novel method have done so from en-
tirely philanthropio methods, with no
idea of making profits. but rather as an
incentive to ths laboring classes. In one
of these banks last year there were reg
istered nearly 5000 depositors.

The Saint Paul globe., 1899-07-16

The trustees and such of the stockhold-
ers OF the Savings Bank of st. Paul as
could be reached held a meeting Friday
evening to consider the best method of
securing the depositors of the bank. After
the discussion Of various plans for reor-
gan1zation subcommittee was appointed
which called upon Gov. Lind yesterday
morning and had an extended interview
with him, in which the condition of the
bank; its future prospects and the wisest
course to be pursued with reference to
the interests Of the depositors were fully
discussed. 1t was the unanimous opinion
that the bank could and should be
promptly reorganized, and that by wise
and Judtcious management there was
great prospect for the payment of the de-
positors to nearly if not the full extent
OF their claims. While no definite con-
clusion was reached as to the exact
plan to be followed, the committee and
, the state officials seemed to be fully in
accord upon the leading propositions. 1t
was agreed that any plan of reorganiza-
tion should have as It's main features.
first. the avoiding of the appointment
OF any receiver; second, the preventing
Of any speculation or manipulation of
the assets Of the bank except in the sole
interest Of the depositors; third, proper
safeguards to secure to the depositors
every available asset as speedily as pos
sibIe.
The trustees expressed themselves as
feeling it to be their duty to devote
their energies to the work Of protecting
the depositors, in which expression they
were joined by the stockholders. Gov
Lind expressed himself as highly pleased
with the spirit manifested; stated that
his services and time were entirely at the
disposal Of the committee, and that he
would heartily cooperate with the COM
mittee in furtherance Of any proper plan.
Gen. Pope was absent from the capitol at
the time the committee called, but the
committee is confident that it will re-
ceive the same support from him as from
Gov. Lind.
Before the application for a receiver
comes to be heard in courts, which will
be the 20th inst, we'll matured plan.
which will meet with the approval of the
governor and Bank Examiner Pope will
undoubtedly be ready to be submitted to
the depoSitors.
