FDIC Representatives

 Have Books Investigated

OfIicers of the Federal Deposit Insurance corporation have been in Waterbury yesterday and today inc vestigating the books of all local national banks and trust compan- ies. The institutions visited are members of the FDIC. The officials reported local increased deposits and an improved volume of business here over former years.

 The Waterbury Savings bank, a mutual savings institution, is not a member of the FDIC the new fed- cral department having been set up only to take care of national banks and trust companies.
 Business is better in very defl- nite way" said c. E. Riddell, special representative of the Federal De- posit Insurance corporation, Wash Ington, D. 0. MT.

800 banking communities in New England, New Jersey md Pennsyl- vania.
 Business is better" he declared, "because bank deposits are still in- creasing; employment is much bet- ter: relief rolls are diminishing; store trade has picked up in vol- ume; farmers are doing better and in some sections of New England a revival of the building trades is taking place due to the shortage of housing; this is particularly true of the Hartford, Com, area.
 Banks report collections easier and better and money in free cir- culation equalling the 1929 period. This is probably due to Federal De- posit insurance which began Jan- uary 1st, 1884 and has continued for nearly 2 1-2 years attracting money out of hiding back into banks and into channels of trade and business
 "The United States Chamber of Commerce tells us that new money coming into community changes hands in trade about twenty times before 1t leaves that community. Hidden money cannot change hands. The insurance of bank de- posits up to the limit of $5,000 per depositor by the Feders. Deposit In- surance corporation has had much to do with the return of money in business and it's present free circu- lation. Tn 1932-33 1t was difficult matter to get any money for any service in business, but today the situation has changed in a very de- finite way.
 Banks pay for and approve of this insurance of deposits. Tn the first twenty-six months of operation of the Federal Deposit Insurance corporation 1t has paid the insured deposits of more than 37,500 depos- its of closed insured banks within few weeks time of the closing of the bank. This sum amounted to about $7,000,00O and covered about ninety-nine per cent of all the de- positors.
 "A new booklet has just been is- sued to member banks of the Fed eral Deposit Insurance corporation for distribution to their despositors. It contains much information on deposit insurance which every de- positor should know and which ev- cry business man and woman should possess. They are free on application.
