Pittsburgh, Dec. 22.-The Pittsburgh
Bank For Savings, one Of the best
known institutions in the city, failed to
open for business today. It was closed
by order Of the state banking depart
ment, and H. G. Getty, bank examiner
has been appointed temporary receiver
No statement was issued in connec-
ton with the closing butt was known
in the financial district that the bank
had been unable to weather the storm
1t has encountered since the failure OF
James s. Kuhn and W. S. Kuhn, who
were credited with being prominently
identified with the bank, in 1918
Steps were taken recently to
strengthen the bank and Il was
thought it was in q position to con-
tinue business. The closing today con-
sequently occasioned surprise in bank
ing circles.
Eleven Millions in Deposits.
The Pittsburgh Bank For Savings
was capitalized at $500 900.
Depositors Of the bank included
many persons with savings accounts
Deposits on Dec. Is, 1915, were SO, 945,-
71S. according to the report Of the
bank.
The savings Of some 10000 de-
positors are included In the banks de-
posts. By its savings plan children
would take money weekly to school
whore collectors would call for It, CIV
ing the children credit on, their books
This practice has been in effect FOL
years and many thousands Of dollars
had been deposited by children. It was
said that scores Of successful persons
in the city who began saving in this
way have continued their business re-
lations with the Institution ever since
orisinstsd AAaii Depssit. systsm.
It was stated that the bank had ap-
pEoximateiy 75.010 dep0sitors, OF whom
fully $4,000 were persons living In
other parts of the country as the bank
was among the first to take savings
by mail. &.
4. The failure. according to President
Jones. was due entirely to the depre-
citation Of some securities held iby the
hank in various corporations. Follow
ing the Kuhn failure there was large
depreciation in the market value OF
certain securities, but 1t was hoped
that the various companies would soon
be rehabilitated and the securities re-
gain their former value. ~
Fifty Per Cent Dividend Soon.
Thru the personal efforts Of the
president, he said, half a million dol
lars were added to the assets Of the
bank since July Z, 1913. a
1.-The bank has fine line Of assets
and believe that a so per cent divi-
dend can be paid within sixty days.
said Mr.. Jones.
Receiver Getty also attributed the
failure to the depreciation in the Kuhn
securities. -
