Webster Did Not Need 1t

Postmaster Siglinger received notice
Saturday that the department would
open postal saving bank in the Web
ster office July p. We are of the
opinion that the department will find
that there is not crying need of a
postal savings depository in Webster as
we have three good banking institutions
in the city that are paying five or six
per ce:t on time deposits and that the
people are pretty well satisfied with the
safe and sound condition of our banks
can be varified by glance at the
amount of deposits shown in their pub
lished financial statements.
And two per cent on deposits in the
postoffice bank as against six per cent
in the other institutions will prove q
big handicap to Uncle Sans banking
business in Webster.
