Washington's % institutions reached
a new high mark of $502, 600 on
April 4, 1912, the date of the last
call of the controller of the cur
rency. This was the first time in the
city's history that bank deposits
exceeded the half-billion mark, the
record breaking figures revealing
ample funds for credit needs.
May Change Hours.
The additional Government pay
days on the 9th and 23d Of each
month have spread the volume OF
work in the banks and have meant
better service for customers. Mr..
Holland said, adding that further
changes in banking hours&may be-
come necessary if the influx OF Gov
ernment workers continues at the
present pace.
Mr.. Holland declared one of the
most serious problems the banks
have to contend with today is that
OF personnel. 1t has been necessary
to employ a large number of women
to fill positions left vacant by men
entering military service. There are
$1,000 women employed in banks
today-1,136 in Washington. If the
war lasts a few years longer, this
number may be doubled. AS many
new employees are unfamiliar with
banking, the American Institute of
Banking courses becomes more val
liable, he said.
In thanking the association on
GERS for their assistance during his
term, Mr.. Holland paid special
tribute to Albert S. Galley, who has
served as treasurer for 80 years.
The morning program included
the annual report of the auditors
