State Banks-Post Deposits.
George D. Bartlett, secretary of the
Wisconsin Bankers association, said
| that all Wisconsin state banks are per-
mitted to accept postal deposits. Ac-
| cording to Mr. Bartlett, however, it is
| doubtful whether many directors will
put up government, state or municipal
| bonds to enable their banks to get gov
eminent deposits. Mr.. Bartlett is Of
the opinion that bond houses will con-
tinue to offer the loan of bonds to
| banks which desire government de-
/ posits, accepting surety bonds to pro-
| tect themselves.
