MISLEADING FIGURES

Press reports yesterday carried the
statement that savings deposits in
the banks of North Carolina increased
last year by $4,000 100000, which in
dicates very satisfactory condition
from that standpoint. It shows that
the savings habit acquired in buying
and paying for Liberty Bonds has
grown nto a permanent habit, which
is very gratifying, and it is hoped that
it will continue to grow, until North
Carolina is recognized as one Of the
thrifty states Of the Union,
However, the decrease in general
bank deposits in North Carolina last
year was sixty eight Millions, eighteen
millions more than the gross decrease
in the entire Fifth Federal Reserve
district, and a prominent banker es
Inmates that the decrease in Halifax
County alone was around one million

that it does not mean that the bonds
will not be sold, but that they are

this sale will be made and that the
street paving will be put through as

it means too much to the future pro

bridge is going to be built across the
river and a State highway made to
