sentaton Of Pass Books for Veri-
fication


The State banking department rs
now engaged in. the work of verify
ing pass books of savings depositors
of all savings banks and trust COM
panies located III Watcrvlllc, Fair

F. Lawrence, states that he has
adopted the practice of verifying the
savings deposits of all trust compan-
les and savings banks of a city or
section at the same time and by the
uniform method of calling in the
pass books for verification. This
method has proven very satisfactory
in other sections of the State and is
now being used in the above towns.
The bank commissioner has issued a
call notifying all savings depositor
to present their pass books at the
Waterville Savings Bank, kennepec
Trust Company. Fairfield Savings
e. Trust Co, Cascade Savings Bank,
Skowhegan Trust Company and
Skowhegan Savings Bank for verifi-
cation In verifying the pass books a
representative of the banking de-
partment will be stationed at each
bank and will compare the pass
books as they come in for the Plr-
pose of correcting any errors or
omissions in the accounts.
AS this work is done for the bene-
At of depositors, the banking depart
ment should have the cooperation of
all depositors in presenting their
pass books at the bank without de-
lay.
