treasury of the United States at Wash
ingtOn. and new money is issued in its
stead. The savings banks deposit their
mutilated bills with the national banks.
and SO the worn money of the entire
community is gathered up. The banks
in this city send from $40. 900 to $4,000
each year to Washington in money of
this character. drain on the currency
supply which is astonishing. The gov
eminent requires the banks renting
the money to pay the express charges
and also pay for the return of the new
currency.
The most badly torn bills are re-
deemed by the government, the only
requirement being that at least three
fifths of the bill shall be RENTED and
that its number may be seen.
The local banks state that if they
were careful to take up all the mutilat-
ed currency, the amount sent in would
largely exceed the figures given above;
but because the undertaking is an OK
pcnse to them, they do not retain any
but the badly worn paper.
