reached total of s11 100000. This
sum has been distributed among O.
| 719 national and state banks, where
it is protected by bonds deposited
with the treasurer of the United
States.
PARCELS POST NEAR, HOPED.
1t is stated in the report that now
the successful operation of the postal
savings system is assured, it is hop
ed that congress will promptly

! ing delivery by carrier and after the

is completed to extend it to include

lines.
To bring the parcels post issue
