 MT. BurkeS statement, in part follows:
 "Tho Waterbury chapter hes plenty to do during tho coming year. Those who have been ASse- ciatod with tho work of the chap- ter last year know the variety oi activities that it was necessary k undertake, tho number of coin' mittees appointed, and the large number of citizens that contributed time and money to further tho h. tereSts of the merit system. AZ the risk of emitting important features of tho program, our efforts during tho coming year can Do grouped Into two fields, the first dealing with tho disbursement Of insoril1A- . ton regarding tho merit system, end tho second, dealing with speei- fie iogislation.
 Public Interest
 AS regards the first part of our program, wo arc the sole organlga. <. ton in thiS community whose entire efforts are to mako tho merit system effective in city, state and national governments !, We must awaken public interest in tho subject, if Indeed 1t Is not already very much awake. We must describe tho benefits tho merit system has brought to gov. ernmen1 who use it. We must call attention tot h0 evils and oxtrava- ganeoS of the spoilS system. We must warn that 1t iS possible for c spells system to masquerade under tho title of merit system. Wo must explain tho features Of good merit system practice. We must, ag In the past, be ready to furnish speawerA to all organizations that want to hear something about tho merit system.
 Loglslatlon
 As regards specific legiSlation, thero iS nothing that wo can do immediately but our legal eommlt- tee will doubtless have definite recommendation . little later, Those will pertain to our city goV- ornfnent and also our staet sov- ernmeFt.
 As regards the Waterbury sltua- ton, you will recall that our chap- ter proposed c merit system amend ment to tho city charter atld that c petition asking that 1t be put to Q referendum was signed by the largest number of citizens that ever signed any petition in the history Of the city.

Washington Mutual
Makes June Report

The June 80 report of condition
published by the Washington Nut
ual Savings Bank reveals that this
pioneer institution founded in 1889
is now serving larger number
of depositors than at any previous
time since It was founded, back
in September, 1889.
At the close of business last
Wednesday 09,165 men, women
and children were saving with the
big mutual bank. and their total
savings amounted to $50. 1861. 709.
These depositors shared in the
s55s. 600 intetsst payment made
by the bank on July /, which is
the 95th serni-annual interest pay
ment made by the bank in the past
4S years. Total interest now re-
ceived by Washington Mutual de-
positors, representing earnings on
their savings, exceeds 500. 200. 900,
Dietrich Schmitz president of the
bank points out in letter mailed
to depositors this week. In this
communication he cautions depos-
itors to keep in -nind that safety
Of their principal must remain the
most important consideration, ra-
Their than a temptation to take I'M
due risks with their savings in or
der to attempt to obtain larger
than the going rate of interest, His
letter suggests that interest rates
on savings deposits should now
tend to rise, following a current
indication of improvement in rates
of earning from savings bank in
vestments. Trustees of the WASH
ington Mutual Savings Bank are:
Raymond r. Frazier, chairman of
the board; Dietrich Schmitz, presi-
dent; S. L. Barnes; Roy E. Camp
