BANKS SHOW HUGE GAIN
OF ss,363,ss7 IN DENVER
1916 SAVINGS.
Prosperity Of Denver People Shown in
Every Line Of Civic and
Private Life.

| Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Observation-Disclosures OF Denyer's un.
precedented prosperity during 1916 are
coming like an avalanche through the
medium OF annual totals and account
ings. The evidences have been here
for many months, manifesting them
selves through all avenues OF trade
and industry. but even the most conf
dent and assured Denveritemuste exper.
fence thrill of surprise and gratifica-
ton when he observes some of the
proofs in the aggregate.
Never before in the history OF Den
yer has there been achievement equal
to the new and remarkable record in
the number and volume OF savings ac-
counts. In twenty-four banks the de.
posits aggregate s31.s24.s39 for 1916,
as against s25.5Gl, ,562 in 1915, an in.
crease of s6,3G3.377. or approximately
20 per cent. The adding Of 25,233 new
accounts during the year, many OF
which were deposits OF women and
children, gives the figures a signifi
cant aspect. The total number OF ac-
counts is 10000.
During the year settlers from all
parts OF the United States took up
public land in Colorado to the amount
OF 2.327,9s7 acres. Most of these were
taken in 320-acre tracts, the maximum
now permitted as homestead entry.
II Is striking parallel in Denver's
financial year that. while her savings
were unprecedentedly big. her dis
bursements indicate corresponding
increase. There is not a branch OF
civic and conn., arcial life that has not
felt the influence of prosperity. Den
yer has bought more automobiles, built
more houses and worn better clothes
than ever before.
Estimates based on close oalcula.
tions by experts show that the total
value OF automobiles bought during
the year is approximately sl3,G00,O00.
Total financial transactions of the
Denver postoffice furnish another EN-.
phatic proof of prosperous conditions.
They will show gain OF more than
$l.o00.000 over the record OF 1915. It
is expected that the total business will
amount TO more than $4,000, 900 for the
year. In the postal savings bank of
the Denver postoffice, approximately
s535.0o0 was deposited, gain OF be-
tween $4,000 and 100000 over the
amount deposited in 1915.
