New Rule in Orange institutions
Affects Monthly Balances OF
Less Than 500.

Patrons of banks in the Oranges
who have been enjoying the facilities
Of banking without contributing any
revenue 10 the various institutions
will have TO pay for the service COM
mencing with the new year. This
new order. became publicly known to-
day when customers OF the People s
Bank of East Orange we're formally
notified that charge of SO cents q
month will be made against all de-
positors who do not maintain an av-
erage monthly balance Of s1oo, com
mencing January 2.
Other banks, it is understood, will
take the same stand and in future
the householder and others who SIM
ply use checks TO secure convenient
receipts for expenditures. and barely
meet the requirement OF q proper
balance in bank, will have to leave
some funds with the banks so as to
allow them to earn some money on
the deposits.
The new arrangement. which came
out of the West. is winning favor
with banking men and bids fair to be
a new rule in the immediate future.
More than a thousand accounts Of the

affected BY the notice, and it is be-
lieved the same proportion will be
affected in the other institutions
which embrace the scheme TO make
the small depositors share with the
more generous patrons the burden OF

depositor to the bank. and the addt-
ton of one and a half per cent. ex-
