the cause where Mr.. Meyer left off,
and June rs, 1910, the postal savings
bank act was passed. It became eff
pfective January 1, 1911, and three
days after six post offices Of the sec
ond class were designated by Mr..
Hitchcock for experiments. The six
New England states were. chosen and
banks were opened in the post offices
Of Rumford, Me-, Montpelier, VT, An
sonia, Conn, Norwood, Mass, Ber-
lin, N H., and Bristol, r. I. 1t was
not until summer that the system was
extended to the big industrial centers
which later were destined to form the
backbone of the whole.
When the European war opened
the postal banks had been showing
steady gains in deposits for a long
time, but in August, 1914, they were
quadrupled. They gradually de-
clined until June, 1915. when they
became normal again. They re-
NAMED normal until May, 1916,
when congress did away with the
restriction combining deposits to not
more than 500 a month and in
creased the maximum per depositor
from it's original $500 to $1,000. De-
posits quadrupled again and even
eclipsed the previous high water
mark of the first month of the war.
They are now making a net gain of
81, 100000 week.
The law provided originally for
deposit of the money in national
banks or in state banks which were
under state supervision. Since the
institution of the federal reserve sys-
tenn postmasters may deposit with
member banks of that system, and
under an amendment to the federal
reserve act, adopted May 10, 1916,
they may deposit with any local
supervised bank if no member bank
of the federal reserve system is in
town. The banks are required to
pay the government 2 IL per cent on
postal bank money deposited with
them, and the government pays 2
per cent. to depositors Out of the
one-half per cent. margin the gov
eminent has been able to meet the
expenses Of the postal bank system
and lay by a little surplus, Only 112
persons are employed in the postal
savings division Of the post Office de-
partment in Washington.
The theory that the postal saw

country and attract the isolated far

which he has been familiar. The
