BANKS GET Ak
AS RETA|NERS
OF. j. 8. FUNDS
reasury Department
Eliminates Hundreds
ofDepositaries..

Washington. Feb. 1.-Drastic rednc-
tion in the number of national banks
designated as government depositaries is
being made by the treasury department
with the result that less than 400 of the
! 1881 such institutions holding federal
funds on June 30, 1919. are expected to
survive the pruning knife,
Changes in the government finan-
clal situation, brought about by war S
! fiscal operations. il was said officially,
! have made it necessary to abolish hum
dreds of depositaries and revise the
plan for distribution of government
moneys among banks employed prior
to 1912.
While the treasury is cutting off the
inactive accounts it is also reducing the
balances carried by many other banks, In
all in fact, where government trans
actions do not require the use of large
sums.
On Scientific Basis.
Scientific apportionment' it is said,
will be the basis in the future for dis
position of surplus funds Officials ex-
planned that the new policy as to de-
positaries would operate SO that each
bank will be able to realize equal balances
on a basis of service done for the gov
ernment.
Included in the list of banks already
struck off are 56 banks which had
accounts of only $1,000. and which were
designated as government dapositaries
during the administration of Franklin
McNeagh as secretary of the treasury
under President Taft.
Practically half of the banks to be
deprived of government balances already
have been eliminated from the roll and
outstanding balances thus have been re-
duced from So 100000 to Sa7,oO0.000.
Other banks will be taken off the
official list of depostaries and other
accounts will be reduced until by the
end of the calendar year it is expected
the new policy will be fully completed
Officials were reticent rs to the geo
graphical location of the depositaries
contemplated.
The new policy Of the treasury does
not contemplate disturbance of the pre-
sent system of special depositaries. which
was created as an emergency measure
during the war There was n total of
$3.50 of these institutions st the first of
the year Such lepositaries automatically
will cease function when the period Of
their usefulness terminates.
Use Reserve Banks.
The monetary operations for the gov
ernment were conducted entirely through
the sub-treasures and national bank
depositares prior to the creation of the
federal reserve system. With the cstah-
lishment of the federal reserve banks,
and branches. government payments have
been made more aud more through them
and the abolishment of the national bank
depositaries therefore represents a
further leaning of the treasury on the
reserve banks in carrying on the nations
business.
