$685., ooo, 900 IN SAVINGS BANKS
Bankers Have Failed to Find Anything
On Record to Equal Il.

That the idea of thrift, which has
been urged upon people by savings in
stitutions has taken root is shown in
the large amounts of cash now on de-
post in the savings institutins in the
city. Money representings the savings
OF people, many of the working class,
is today on deposit in the savings in
situations to such an amount that the
bankers have failed to find anything
to equal it nthe records of the banks.
Millions in cash are held in the saw
ings banks to the credit of depositors
The figures do not include the depos-
it's in the national banks or the trust
companies. 1t represents the class of
depositors that use the banks to save.
Norris S. Lippit, vice president and
treasurer of the Peoples Bank & Trust
Co. of New Haven declared Friday
that the abnormal amount on deposit
comes from the prosperity Of of the
city, and because labor is all employed.
"The next annual report Of the bank
commissioners for the state,'' said Mr..
Lippitt, should show a total deposits
in the savings banks Of the state pref
ty close to $685., 5000. 600, the most ire
mendous sum in savings ever known
in this state. New Haven, Hartford
Bridgeport, Waterbury and New Brit
ain are all heavy increase points. Re-
ports from October to October, from
savings banks and trust companies, in
the state, will foot up to nearly $751;
600, 900 increase.
It feel sure that we are bound to
have this continuation of industrial
prosperity for the next three years to
come.
without the conflict abroad, I feel
sure that New Haven and other places
would have seen soup kitchens. If you
look up the statistics of the codnitions
before the war, you will see the list
of unemployed growing daily. I be-
hny,
Gated to save and they will continue to
do so feeling that the Twill also have
money on call which earns for them
four per cent. on deposit"
