SAVINGS DEPOSIT FACILITIES.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The argument Of Postmaster General Meyer
for postal savings banks rests entirely upon an
erroneous statement. made by him in all innocence
FIi. chain of reasoning Is as follows
| Adequate facilities are not provided for many
OF our people deposit their money. why7
2 Because there only 1.s53 savings banks in
the whole country, and in thirty-two states there
is only I6 per cent OF the total savings deposits.
Mr. Meyer is unaware that instead OF LASS there
are about fifteen thousand Incorporated institu-
tons situated in all the states which IN effect
savings banks. They receive savings deposits and
nav interest thereon They are not classed IN the
report OF the Controller OF the Currency under the
heading savings banks, but they furnish the "a
cllities which Mr. Meyer declares be lacking
The savings bank proper, as We know It IN New
York New Jersey and New England has never.
in the majority OF the states been provided for by
the laws OF the state. But the state banks. the
trust companies and the national banks. almost
without exception. have savings departments, and
these perform the duties. II Is therefore a
misleading statement say that there only

In all the sixteen years that have been here,

Richard Bennett Is the leading man in Miss Ad-
