From $500 to ST 900 Responsible.

Large increases in postal savings
accounts are expected by Postmaste
General Burleson as a result of the
new law which raises the maximum de-
posts from 500 to $1,000.

the $500 limit petitioned the Postoffice
Department to have the maximum
raised to at least 5000. President Will
son has just approved the amendment,
and the maximum was raised today.
Figures at the Postoffice Department
show there are now more than 500, 900
depositors In postal savings banks, and
their savings aggregate $50, 900 0O0 Offi-
cials say double this amount would have
been deposited but for the $500 limit,
thousands OF persons who wished to
deposit $1,000 having been compelled
to cut down the amount to $500.
