Much to Be Done.
Mott-Smith, after Hemenway had
read the section defining the duties of
the commission, suggested that the
work of the commission involved a
great deal. Under sanitation came
buildings, areas, air, cleanliness,
crowding; low lying lands had to be
filled in; water supply must be pure
and protected; there was much to
be done in sewage extension and many
legal, business, sanitery and engineer
ing difficulties had to be met and over
come. Not only had the commission
TO prepare a report to the Governor
by December 81, 1911, but much was
expected of the commission right
along, cooperating with the board of
health, the federal health authorities
and the city and county.
Hemenway was appointed temper
airy secretary and a committee of one
to select an office for meeting. Garter
wound up by moving that the COM
mission cordially invite all interest
ed, federal, territorial and county
to attend he meetings He believed
the first meeting suspicious and was
glad to see so many public represent

HITCHCOCK PLEASED
WITH POSTAL BANKS
VIII Ask For SL,OOO,OOO to

Washington, Feb. eff the postal

Britain in it's most successful year,

made by Postmaster General Hitch.
cock, the reports for January show
that the deposits for the month will
amount to about 100000. There are
As offices in operation, so that the
average per Office is about $1,000. II
this average is maintained the years
aggregate will be about $750,000.
This, the officials think, shows what
might be expected II additional of.
fees are established.
A large majority Of the depositors
In January were foreign born, and
many of them, the announcement
says, we're in the habit of sending
their savings abroad. The system,
therefore, will diminish the outflow
from the United States Of such
funds. The plan Of giving certificates
OF deposit instead of passbooks has
proved satisfactory.
Postmaster General Hitchcock is
so pleased with the January returns
that he will ask congress for $1,000
900 additional with which to extend
the system.
