State Trust Co. To Use
Minimum Uniform Charge
For Patrons

Beginning Thursday, the State
Trust company will put into effect
a uniform schedule of minimum
charges for banking service as
adopted February 90 at a special
meeting of the North Carolina
Clearing House association, held
at Greensboro.
The schedule, E. f. Lott, cash
Ter, said. Includes uniform regu-
lations as to banking hours, in
terest on time deposits, analysis
of accounts, service charges on
certain types of checking accounts
and charges for trust services,
safe deposit and miscellaneous
services rendered by banks and
trust institutions.
The action taken at Greensboro
is in conformity with the proce--
dure being followed by state and
local clearing house associations
throughout the country in fixing
local schedules instead OF at
tempting to adopt a uniform
schedule for the nation as a
whole. The former schedule, an
nounced last December as provld-
ing for uniform practices in COM
petition under the bankers code
of the NRA. was changed in a
number of respects. The new
schedule, it was said, provides for
a lower scale of charges than pro-
posed under the national code.
Under the new regulations pro-
vision is made for a schedule OF
metered or measured charges by
which the amount of the charge
will be determined hy the amount
of service necessary to handle the
account in proportion to the, size
