cember 81. 1919, show verv snhstan-
tial increase in the number Of accounts
opened during the year, in total re-
sources and in the amount due demos
itors. Sf0'
Superintendent Skinner in his annual
report to the Legislature on the saw
ings banks of the state says that from
January l, 1919, to January l, 1920. the
reported resources of these institutions
increased from $2,231 ,461 1928 to S2.456.-

Referring to the operation of per-
sonal loan companies and personal loan
brokers under the supervision Of the
New York State Banking Department,
Superintendent Skinner says:
II believe that this state was the
first to recognize the necessity of legal
izing a rate of interest on loans to in
digent borrowers who are unable to
furnish adequate security in excess of
the legal rate of interest, while limit
ing the rate in order to save them from
the ,exactions of the so-called loan
sharks
"Only one personal loan company was
organized during the year 1919, the
Cosmopolitan Personal Company, of
Buffalo, and no personal loan broker
was authorized to engage in business
during the year"
