of a city is often expressed in
figares by the growth of its bank
deposits.

criterion by which to judge expand
Ing commercial and financial de-
velopment than the money which
is carried consistently in the &C.
counts of business firms and in
divid,fals concerned with community
affairs.
The splendid increase in bank
deposits in the District of Columbia.
as evidenced by reports submitted
to the Treasury Department in the
statements Of condition as of April

optimistic belief in the present and
the future OF Washington.

National Bank reported deposits of
10,04g.T47. On April II. 1926, the
report showed deposits OF $685.
