DTTIES OF SAVINGS BANKS.

The head of the State Banking Department
is strongly of the opinion that the savings
banks should adopt rigorous measures 10 pre-
vent the excessive multiplication or accounts
which belong TO persons of large means Whlle
it is undoubtedly true that the bulk of the
billion dollars which represents the total, re-
sources of the savings institutions of the En-
pire State has been deposited by wage earners
and others whose worldly possessions are com
paratvely small, it is nevertheless known TO
the officers of the banks that there are numer-
Gus instances in which the owners of many
thousands of dollars have opened accounts in
dozen or more different banks and under
dozen or more different names. AS the law
provides thar no interest shall be paid the
deposits credited 10 a single account beyond
moderate principal cunning depostors in mani
fold cases divide up their accounts by all sorts
Of devices, and in several banks, in order TO OBJ
tain interest on the total which they own.
Superintendent Kilburp's recommendation is
sound and just Savings banks exist for the
security of the money which the thrifty and
frugal lay aside by means of self-sacriice in
order TO provide for possibilities of sickness,
bereavement or misfortune of any kind. They
are not meant for the advantage of men
women who have inherited property worth tens
Of thousands of dollars or have amassed con-
siderable amounts for which they want interest
at 3l5 per cent or mere without the slightest
risk. The true uses of savings institutions are
perverted when they are used in any way ex-
cept for the encouraging of prudence, foresight
and economy among the people who need to
make provision for sickness, feebleness, old age
or loss of employment The savings of the poor
must he guarded sacredly and never exposed to
danger. 1t is not the province of the savings
banks to furnish opportunities for the COM
paratvely well to do to get generous interest
on the money which they could invest saga
ciously. The legislature and the governing bodies
of the savings institutions may wisely heed the
counsel of the Banking Superintendent

The historic Jumel mansion. at One hun 1red-and.

count of its use for short time by General Wash
ington as headquarters. is TO become city prop
erty. The Board OF Public improvements yester-
day decided TO purchase it and the surrounding
grounds for N5OOo0. Last year the board decided
against acquiring the place. but that action was
rescinded yesterday after the board had listened
10 Walter 5. Logan. representing the sons OF the
American revolution, and l. NJ Hail, who ap-
peared for the Society for the Preservation Of
Scenic and Historical Places Of Interest and
spoke in favor OF the acquisition OF the property
Mr.. Logan said he was in favor OF small parks
and now the city had the opportunity 70 acquire
one which aside from its natural advantages OF
location possessed great historical value II had
been the headquarters of General George Wash
ington and later had been the home OF Aaron Burr
II ask YOU 10 save this property now. while
you can" continued Mr. Logan. "and give the
people an opportunity TO visit this historic spot
We ask you do this both because We want the
park and because We want this historic mansion
TO be saved"
Mr. Hall said that the mansion was the only
building in New-York identified as Washingtons
headquarters The houses he had occupied az No
1 Cherry-st- and No. Broadway had been swept
away in the march Of the city's development In
the same manner Fort Washington and Old Fort
George had disappeared.
I'VE ask that the city shall acquire this prop
erty for two reasons" added Mr.. Hall First on
the comparatively narrow ground OF its historical
value and second. the broader ground or its
benefits TO the hundreds OF thousands OF school
children and grown up people who will visit this
beautiful park If you do this you Will have the
support of enlightened public sentiment through
out the country"
The original resolution was then read and
was adopted by the unanimous vote Of the board
The mansion and grounds occupy 6l,5t square
feet bounded by Observation-Disclosures and
