drawn on that account. unless the booS

Generally an affidavit mast first be
made that the loser cannot find the

count. as accounts are never duplicated.
In my experience OF many. years l
presented books in hopes OF withdraw
ing money. It would be almost i'm
possible for person not the owner OF
the book to withdraw a cent on the
account At the time Of the original
deposit the depositor, before getting q
book. has to answer certain questions
which are framed to fix the depositor's
identity and to protect the depositor.
The depoSitor must also leave an auto
graph on the bank register. Whenever
money Is withdrawn these questions
must be answered and the autograph
attached to an order This IS an eff
fectual test Each book is numbered
and bears the depositor's name
We have been asked II depositors
would not be better protected II banks
omitted the name from the book and
simply numbered It We can see no
advantage In that The plan would not
defeat the purposes OF thief. for one
who would steal Z bank book would
know the name OF the owner. and the
withdrawal OF deposits is so well
guarded that even with the owners
name finder could not get money
from the bank
There are probably from 100 to
1.Joo books lost every year. of which
100 to 800 eventually turn up That
means from oae-th;rd to two-ffths of
