BIG RESERVE FUND.
Under New Law Ten Million
Dollars for Investment.
W0LEvER FATHERED BILL
There Is No Law To Compel Banks
To Lower Their Reserve, But New
Law Gives An Opportunity
Some Hoard Money.

Des Moines.-Between $4,000, 900
and s20,000.0O0 OF money formerly
held in Iowa banks as part OF the re-
serve will be released for investment,
by action Of the new Iowa law reduc-
ing the reserve required on time de-
posits, according to an estimate made
by the state banking department.
An accurate statement os the
amount OF reserve which will De re-
leased will be made within the next
few weeks.
The new law reduces the amount of
reserve required to be held in savings
banks on, time deposits from Is to y
per cent in cities under 5000 popula-
ton and from 20 to s per cent in cit
les over 5000 population.
A. o. Woleyer, head of the state
banking department says that the re-
leasing OF the big sum of actual mon
ey could not come at better time. as
there Is a good demand for 1t. How
ever, Iowa's financial condition has
been so good that the demand has
been felt to less extent here than in
other states, he declares.
The savings banks had formerly
been required to keep a Is per cent
reserve on demand deposits. II was
the thought Of A. o. Wolever that
time deposits and savings deposits
should be on an equality as far as
reserve is concerned. hence he wrote
the bill which has become law. per-
hitting reduction OF the time deposits
reserve to s per cent.
There are few banks which have
always held such high reserve that
they were open to the charge OF
boarding money, 1t is said.
In some cities, there are savings
banks having twice as much money
on time deposits as on demand depos-
its. One bank in eastern Iowa has
$1.047,557 on certificates Of deposit
and y2S8.666 subject to demand. The
release of Z per cent Of the reserve
on the certificates of deposit will lib
crate over $4,000 which formerly laid
idle In that bank, according to the
banking officials. There are dozens Of
other banks In the same position.
Savings banks of this state at pres
ent have a reserve Of $42,000,000 In
money.
