Postal savings deposits showed an
increase of s4,7S4,095 for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1923, as COM
pared with the previous year, ac-
cording to a special report made BY
Postmaster General Harry 8. New
submitted to Congress yesterday.
The total amount on deposit to
the credit of postal savings de-
positors was $152.143.349, bringing
the total of funds deposited in the
system since its inception, January
/, 1911. to $l,5S6, ,49S,3g7

mission OF the postal savings sys-

thrift and economy, and the bring
ing into useful work the idle dollars
of hoarders.
In the belief that, contrary to the
general impression, the depOsitoIS

recruited virtually entirely from the
foreign born, b poll was taken OF
depoSitors as OF June 30, 1923. This
poll shows that 5S,S per cent OF the
depositors were native born. Al

The report shows that the Middle
Atlantic States, though stiIl heading

in postal-sayi accounts. suffered
a reduction Of more than $4,000 600.
The New England States also re-
ported q decrease over the previous
fiscal year iii the total amount Of
depOsist. These losses were offset,
however. by every other section of
The country, the most notable in

Central geograp pilical division.
The total number Of depositOra In
the system increased during the
year from All 1874 to 412,25O. The.
average principal per depositor in-
creased from $35S.19 to $3.50 .0e, q
per capita gain of s10.g7 Or S.OS per

At the close OF the year, postal.
