The trust company section took up

John j, Pulleyn, of New York. dis
cussing the Savings Bank and the
Community" delivered the principal
address to the savings bank section.
Savings banks, he said, had far out
grown in significance, usefulness and
power the comparatively narrow
scope and purpose of their original
intent.
"The number of savings banks in
the United States in 1912" he said,
lis estimated at about 1000, the
amount on deposit four and one
quarter billions and the number of de-
positors about $500, 900, or practically
10 per cent. of the entire population
of the United States.

are not provided for a large proper

"In the State of New York. with
its most carefully guarded savings

fact is due to the confidence inspired
by a good law faithfully executed.
