WASHINGTON. April 1.-THE Pos
tai Savings Bank system is proving a
greater success than its friends have
thought Postmaster General Hitch

that the interest in postal savings
banks Is increasing. He shows that
S2O1,961 was on deposit at the As
postal savings banks at the close Of
business. March 81. compared with
S13S,s69 the last day Of February, an
increase. Of $6SOS2. The number of
open accounts increased from 1864 TO
1907 during March. The average bal
ance per depositor increased from
1854 to s46.ss. These banks have
been only open for the receipt OF de-
posits since January 3.
BY May 1, Mr.. Hitchcock hopes to
have as additional offices open to re-
ceive deposits. A few days ago he
issued orders for all postmasters of
recently designated offices TO assem-
Bile April 21 and % at certain places
where the system has been I'm opera
ton in order that they might get a
practical demonstration as to its op-
Grafton. Instead OF bringing the post
master TO Washington, as was done
originally, inspectors will be sent To
certain Of the postal savings offices to
assist in explaining the operation of
the system
Since being opened the Dover, Del,
office has opened "a accounts. has PSI
on deposit, an average of Sill for
each deposition.
