tor B. Deyber of Washington. presi.
dent of the Second National Bark. ad-
dressed i50 Virginia bankers here Sat.
urday on Service Charges on Small
Accounts" the main point in his talk
being that banks should make an
analysis of their business and find out
lust what their costs of operatio are
and how many accounts are carried
Mt a loss. Mr.. Deyber said in part:
With this first hand knowledge of
your costs and the heavy losses YOU
are sustaining by reason of unprofit-
able accounts, you will he convinced
! am sure, that the remedy lies in the
service charge.
In the District of Columbia we
have a dual situation-the Bankers

practically all the banking institutions
of the District. about Al. ranging in
deposits from approximately 100000
TO $50. .000, 900: then we have the

members.
For number of years great
deal of discussion. with but meaEer
action, mas been INDUCED III, feSdTu-
ing Improbable business and the
service charge as a remedy. Two
years ago the banks We're requested
10 furnish a committee Of our Bankers
Association With the following data:
Number and aggregate of accounts

$50 to 500, from 800 To 5000, from
5000 to $500, from $500 to $1,000. from
81 900 TO So 900 and from $4,000 up;
their average balance, percentage to
the total number of accounts, and to
the total deposits.
This analysis as applied TO my
own bank disclosed the astonishing
fact that of the $500 checking ac-
counts in our main Office, 467 av-
eraSed S3.4S, 639 averaged S27.77, 4.3
averaged S7224. In other words,

averaged S13.700 per account, or 3
per cent of the total accounts. and
81 per cent of the deposits. And this
was an average showing of all the
other banks submitting their figures.
My long belief that n service
charge was not only justified on small
accounts, but was absolutely essen

operate on a safe margin of profit,

BALTIMORE. April 26.-Optlmlsm
as to the business outlook for the re :
mainder of this year and the cary
mart of 1927 is expressed by A. ;.
Goldsborough, secretary of the BAL
timore Association of Commerce.
Mr.. Goldsborough based his en-
couraging forecast on three man
factors; first. that the prospects OF
the farmers are good; second. that
labor is better employed than last
year and is well paid. and third, that
building operations are continuing
at a good rate.
Abiding TO the prospects or the
agricultural sections, he pointed out
that export demands for wheat are
likely to continue good. He prophe'
sled that the wheat crop this year
would be better than in 1925. but not
large enough to hurt prices.
