popularity as an investment issue At
the close of the year the company
had 13944s shareholders, an increase
Of 1928 compared with the close of
1919. In addition to these, the COM
pany has $4,000 employees who own
stock outright, OF who are paying for
the stock in monthly instalments.
Since the close of 1915 shareholders
Of the company have more than
doubled in number.
Prosperity Of the company with the
telephone rates now in force, and it's
ability TO pay the increased dividend
rate Of Q per cent. is best testified to
by the fact that during 1920 after
paying s per cent in dividends there
was surplus pemainings of $16,444,-
423.
out of this surplus the company
appropriated Ss,OOO,OOO for "contin-
gencies" or $3,OOO,OOO more than in
any previous year in its history, and
after this unusually large deduction
there was remaining a surplus Of $S,-
$4,000 or more than twice as much
as the company carried to final sur
plus account in any previous year.
Accumulated surplus earnings OF
the company at the close of 1920, in
Guiding premiums on stock sold
stood at $s6,64s,961.
It has been the policy of the
company to finance the growth of the
business by additional stock Issues.
Although conditions have stabilized
since the war the stock has not sold
appreciably above par. A 9 per cent.
dividend Is expected to maintain the
stock at a premium.

Cotillo Bill Authorizing Saw

to Governor.

ALBANY, March 2o.-The Cotlllo
Bill, intended 10 authorize savings
banks to receive money for transmits
sion and to forward st through any
bank or trust company incorporated
under State or Federal laws. was
passed by the Assembly to-day.
The measure now goes TO the Gov
ernor.
The measure which has rust passed
the Assembly is an important link
in the series OF CotiHo bills which are
designed to remedy the evils attend
ing methods of transmitting money
abroad under present conditions
Heretofore savlngs banks have not
been allowed to accept money for
foreign transmission.
The savings banks are about to eX-
tend their business into the foreign
quarters of the large cities of the
state. These extensions will involve
the establishment of foreign ex-
change departments in charge OF
managers and clerks speaking all
languages. Inasmuch as savings
banks. are not ,allowed to make
profits foreign exchange Will be sold
Mt rates which will cover only the
actual cost of operation. This bill
was vigorously opposed by the faSers
who have been charging whatever
commissions they could exact and
we're cheating on exchange besides
