Larger Postal Savings deposits will
row be accepted at the postoffice. This
is made possible by an important
amendment to the Postal Savings Act
just approved by President Wilson. A
POSTAL savings depositor may now have
an account amounting to $1,000 upon
which interest will Kc paid Former
ly $500 was the maximum amount he
could have to his credit.
Another feature Of the amendment
that will avoid further embarrassment
to the public and to postal officials is
the doing away with the limit on the
amount that could b. accepted from
depositor monthly. Under the old law
only 800 could be deposited in a CAL
endar month. The amendment abolish
es this restriction.
