Washington, d. C.-The postal saw.
1ngs bank system is a success. The
short time that the chain OF banks has
been in operation has convinced Post

ports that have been received indicate
a favorable reception for the new

for information as to the working OF
the new system. Some valuable sug-
g~estions are also being received.
