MAY NOW USE TITLE
OF "U. S. DEPOSITORY
Secretary MacVeagh Makes Impor-
tant Ruling to State Banks
and Trust Companies.

Secretary MacVeagh has made a ruling
that will be Of great interest to every
oank In the country. For many years
only such banks-national-as contained
deposits Of money of the Treasury of the
United States were allowed the use OF
the title United States depository .
When the postal savings bank system
was inaugurated and postal funds began
to be placed with various banks, national
and state. these banks used big pressure
to be allowed the title United States de-
pOsitories." Subordinate officials of the
Treasury decided against them, declaring
that the only title that could be used
was that Of United States repositories
of postal funds"
The question was carried to Secretary
MacVeagh, who has been deluged with
congressional callers urging that any
bank receiving government funds. no mat
ter what department the funds were
FROM should have whatever benefits there
were in the title Of government depos-
TORY Mr.. Macveagh finally reached the
decision that any bank carrying govern
ment funds, wherever they were FROM
was entitled to the prestige of United
States depository" This confers the title
upon state banks or trust companies hold
ing postal deposits. Local bankers con-
sidered the decision q fair one according
to Robert N. Harper and others.

COLD WEATHER CAUSES
Brief BUILDING SLUMP
Zero Temperatures Drive In
doors Most of the Local
Army of Workmen.

The extremely cold weather of the past
two weeks put an effectual stop to all
outside work in the building trades OF
the city. 1t is rather unusual in this
latitude for building operations to be en-
tirely stopped by cold weather, except
for very brief periods.
At times when the market demand
makes continuous work important the
climate becomes a valuable factor IN
enterprises Of this character. In this
city there is what may be termed an all
year-round building season. because the
temperature rarely fingers around the
zero point This year has broken the
normal record. because the mercury on
one occasion dropped Is degrees below
zero. but it happens that the unusual
severity Of the weather this season has
not interfered very materially with build
ing operations, since the volume of build
ing has not been as large as is ordinarily
the case.
just now period of lessened activity
obtains. following several seasons OF eN
tensive building undertakings which nave
been remarkable, even in the history OF
the rapid growth of this city during the
past two decades. Dwellings and apart
ment houses have gone up In all parts OF
the city. extending the range Of built-up
streets for miles into what a short time
ago were suburban and even country
sections. So extensively and generally
has building activity progressed that the
cry. OF -overbuilding has been raised at
frequent intervals.
+ Many people have feared the builders
have been too enterprising and have
gone beyond the actual requirements OF
the city, and that as result there would
be an overloaded condition of the mar
ket and consequent depression ana
slump in values. But such forebodings
have not been realized. owing partially
to the conservatism shown by operators.
in the supply of dwellings was in re-
Spouse to legitimate demand. The city
has been growing all the time. More
dwellings and apartments were needed
to furnish adequate housing accOmmoda-
tions for the people.
There has been another element in the
situation, which is the most important
of all in contributing to the substantial
progress in the material development OF
the city, and that is that the great bulk OF
the new houses have been bought as
homes and not merely rented. 1t would
make an interesting. as well as an i'm
pressive showing If it were possible to
give accurate figures as to this home
buying movement. There is no doubt that
at the present time the home owners OF
the city greatly exceed in numbers the
home renters. In fact, the new houses
that have sprung up In all directions
have been built to sell and not to rent,
and they have been disposed Of in this
way.
