DISCUSSING PLANS FOR
POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS
Proposed Use of Cash Regis
tiers Considered by Com
mittee.

Chief Clerk Weed OF the Post Office
Department and the special committee
appointed to look after the details Of
| the postal savings bank system soon
to be inaugurated gave a hearing this
morning at the department to repre-
sentatives Of cash registering machines
to ascertain il 1t were feasible to pro-
cure machines to be used in the sys-
tenn to provide surer checks against
carelessness and dishonesty in the is
sue Of savings certificates. The ma
chimes exhibited were such as are used
ent, but they are susceptible Of change
to the kind required by the department
No decision was reached in the matter
although it was conceded that one OF
more OF the machines might be adapted
for the postal savings system. The
probable bar to the use of such ma
chimes. however. might be found in
their cost.
One OF the representatives Of the ma
chine companies estimated that a ma
chine such as the department required
might cost from SIS to 500. AS there
are more than 10000 post offices in the
country. it would probably require be-
tween 100000 and $8,OOO,OOO worth Of
/
the system were extended to all the
post Offices.
Applications for. the Banks.
Among the petitions received today
was one signed by more than 800 citi-
zens asking for the establishment Of a
postal savings bank at Waco, Neb.
Up to today applications had been re-
ceived at the Post Office Department
from 654 postmasters to establish postal
savings banks at their offices. and from
! ,262 banks and trust companies asking
to be designated repositories for postal
savings funds under the new law.
Ohio leads the states in applications
from postmasters with f1fty-two petitions.
and Pennsylvania with forty-nine and
Minnesota with forty-eight follow.
Pennsylvania leads the list in petitions
from banks and trust companies with
with seventy-eight and seventy-six. re-
spectively. Nevada Is the only state
from which no petition has been re-
ceived, either from postmasters or banks.
Twenty-Five postmasters in the state OF
New York and forty-eight banks have
in the District of Columbia have asked
to he designated repositories.
Demand From the Middle West.
The greatest number of petitions, both
from postmasters and banks, comes from
the middle west. In the southern states
1853 postmasters and 318 banks have sent
in petitions; in the far western states
sixty-three postmasters and ninety-nine
banks and in the New England states
forty-one postmasters and sixty-one
banks.
1t is understood that the report Of the
special committee which has been devils
ing plans for the, operation OF the new
postal savings bank system has included
in its recommendations list OF Offices
where banks should be established.
Washington, D. c., is said to be included
in the list.
