allusion was made in the last preceding report, has been practically
completed. Over 102,000 loans, amounting to about $400,000,000, have
been verified, and it is gratifying to note that no substantial differences
were disclosed.
Upon the recommendation of my predecessor the General Court of
1912 amended the law relative to auditing so that any savings bank
might request the department to audit its affairs instead of having the
work performed by a certified public accountant. Several banks have
already taken advantage of the changed conditions, and the depart­
ment is prepared to undertake the work to whatever extent may be
requested.
Greenfield Savings Bank.1
In the last annual report it was stated by my predecessor that “ unless
some unforeseen contingency arises, the bank should open for business
during the present year [1912], prepared to pay its depositors in full,
but without interest since the bank suspended payment.”
On November 1, 1912, the financial state of the bank would, under
ordinary conditions, have justified the commissioner in relinquishing
possession and restoring the management to the hands of its trustees
to transact its business in the usual course, with its affairs in most
excellent condition and fully prepared to pay any depositor the amount
of his deposit, but there was a suit begun by my predecessor and still
pending against some of the former officers to recover for the benefit
of the depositors.
The suit having been prosecuted with diligence, the defendants'
demurrer having been overruled by the Supreme Judicial Court, and
hearings on the facts being in progress, I have deemed it unwise to
have the bank reopened, in order that the prospects of recovery from
this suit should not be endangered.
Relying upon the advice of counsel that a substantial sum should be
recovered which would benefit the depositors to quite an extent for
the loss of dividends during the period since the suspension of the bank
in February, 1909, and, furthermore, it appearing that the Bank
Commissioner is the only one empowered to continue the prosecution
of the suit, and only while the bank remains in his possession, I have
1A settlement of this matter has been arranged b y which the defendants are to pay the bank $100,000,
and the Supreme Judicial Court has been asked and has given its approval of this settlement. Arrange­
ments are being made for the bank to resume business early in April, 1913, with its deposits and guar­
anty fund unimpaired.

By the provisions of chapter 428, Acts of 1905, and acts in amend­
ment thereof and in addition thereto, these persons are required to
furnish a bond in a sum designated by the Bank Commissioner, and,
upon acceptance of this bond, a license is issued authorizing the trans­
action of the business in question at a place designated in that license.
They are then subject to the supervision of this department, their
books and accounts are examined once each year, and they are required
to make an annual report to the department.
At the close of business October 31, 1912, the number of these per­
sons under the supervision of this department was 97, an increase of
21 since October 31, 1911. Of this number, 37 received deposits of
money for safekeeping, amounting on October 31, 1912, to $1,312,815,
an increase during the year of $254,634, the number of depositors on
that date being 13,008. The total amount of money sent for deposit
in the Italian Postal Savings Bank during the year was $640,388, an
increase of $15,238. The total amount of money received for trans­
mission abroad during the same period was $7,110,860, an increase of
$774,133.

The North Cambridge Co-operative Bank, Sharon Co-operative Bank
and Walpole Co-operative Bank were chartered and commenced busi­
ness during the year.
The laws governing co-operative banks were completely revised by
the General Court of last year, the resultant legislation being embodied
in chapter 623 of the Acts of 1912. Under the requirements of this act
the department is called upon to thoroughly audit the affairs of every
bank in addition to the customary examination which has hitherto
prevailed. The imposition of this duty upon the department will
render local auditing unnecessary, and to partially compensate the
State for the work assumed, every bank is required to pay a fee of 10
cents for each SI,000 of its assets at the date of examination, which
will yield about $7,500 to the treasury of the Commonwealth during
the present year.

On October 31, 1912, there were 26 credit unions in operation and
reporting to this department, being a net increase during the year of
9 institutions of this character. At the date named the total mem­
bership of the 26 credit unions was 2,862, and thëir combined assets
amounted to 194,080.41.

The St. Eulalia Men’s Association Credit Union of South Boston,
which began business in May, 1912, and the Wright & Potter Credit
Union, which began in December, 1910, have both ceased to do busi­
ness and liquidated their affairs in conformity with law.
The affairs of the credit unions, as well as the co-operative banks,
will be more particularly referred to in the text of Part II. of the
annual report.

The provisions of the act authorizing savings banks to receive deposits'
from school children is meeting with considerable favor, and already
43 savings banks have received the approval of this department,
enabling them to transact the business contemplated by the act.
These banks are receiving deposits from 387 different schools located
in 50 cities or towns, the system being operated in 2,352 rooms.
The total number of enrolled scholars in the 387 schools on October
31, 1912, was 95,996, and of this number 45,744 were depositors.
Prior to the passage of the law under review, there were many sav­
ings banks receiving deposits from school children through movements
introduced and fostered by philanthropic agencies for the promotion
of thrift, most of which operated through the sale of special stamps
representing the amount of savings. Owing to lack of records, it is
impossible to ascertain the total amount accumulated and saved through
this method. Based upon such data as could be obtained, the follow­
ing information has been collated: —
Number of deposits received from the inception of the system to
October 31, 1912, 323,299.
Amount of such deposits, $128,705.31.
Number of withdrawals (not including amounts transferred to sav­
ings bank pass books) from the inception of the system to October 31,
1912, 7,167.
Amount of such withdrawals, $19,004.37
Amount to the credit of depositors in the school savings banks Octo­
ber 31, 1912, $38,820.40.
Number of scholars to whom savings bank pass books have been issued
from the inception of the system to October 31, 1912, 13,891.
Amount of deposits transferred from school savings banks to savings
bank pass books from the inception of the system to October 31, 1912,
$69,119.88.

S a v in g s B a n k L if e I n s u r a n c e .

The fourth full financial year of Savings Bank Life Insurance ended
October 31, 1912. This report includes the annual statements for the
year of the four banks which have undertaken the business of life in­
surance under chapter 561 of the Acts of 1907. The four banks are the
Whitman Savings Bank of Whitman, the People’s Savings Bank of
Brockton, the Berkshire County Savings Bank of Pittsfield, and the
City Savings Bank of Pittsfield.
The object of savings bank life insurance is to eliminate the agent
and house-to-house collector of premium, and the expense attendant
thereon, and to furnish to the wage earners of this Commonwealth life
insurance at the lowest possible cost. There is substituted for the
collector of premiums the agency system, in connection with the savings
insurance banks, by which agencies are established in mills, factories
and other places for the benefit of the employees only, the employee
authorizing the employer, if he so desires, to deduct the premiums
from the pay roll as they fall due, the agency transmitting such pre­
miums once a month to the banks. The banks have established other
public agencies where any policyholder may pay premiums. The
agency plan overcomes the policyholder’s lack of initiative, and the
possibility of his insurance lapsing by his forgetting to pay the pre­
mium; while under the old system he must be importuned to make
payment each week. The premiums thus will continue to be paid until
the insured takes definite action to the contrary. Also, if a policyholder
has a savings account in the bank he may authorize the savings de­
partment to pay the premiums on his policy of insurance in the in­
surance department from his savings account as his premiums fall due.
Premiums on about 230 policies are now paid in this way.
No new forms of policies have been issued during the year. The
forms issued are as follows: —
(a) By monthly premiums.
1. Whole life policy, with premiums ceasing at age seventy-five.
2. Endowment policy, maturing at age sixty-five.
3. Twenty-year endowment policy.
4. Insurance and old-age pension policy, combining a certain sum of life
insurance up to age sixty and sixty-five, with a certain sum payable to the
policyholder from the bank each year thereafter as a life income.
5. Old-age pension policy, without insurance, but providing (if desired)

for the return of all premiums paid in event of death before the age at which
the life income is to begin. These life incomes or “ pensions” may be arranged
to begin either at age sixty or at age sixty-five.
(b) By annual premiums (or semi-annual or quarter-annual instalments
thereof).
1. Straight life policy.
2. Twenty-payment life policy.
3. Twenty-year endowment policy.
(c) By single premium.
Immediate annuity.

The monthly premium policies replace the “ industrial” policies for
small amounts in the companies, paid for by weekly premiums; these
monthly premium policies are intended for the needs of a large pro­
portion of the wage earners of this Commonwealth, and are issued in
various amounts, not greater than $500.
The annual premium policies are issued for $500 only in one bank,
and are intended for those wage earners whose circumstances enable
them to meet premium obligations quarterly, semi-annually or an­
nually, instead of every month. These policies are also intended for
school teachers, clergymen, clerks, etc. In four savings insurance banks
it is thus possible to obtain $2,000 as a maximum of insurance.
The abstract of the combined reports of the insurance departments
of the four savings insurance banks shows the total premium income
as $102,832.27. The total interest income was $10,300.29. The total
income was $138,251.06, which includes $25,000 special guaranty
funds received by the City Savings Bank of Pittsfield on account of
the insurance department established July 6, miscellaneous items of
income including $62.50 profit on the sale of bonds owned by the Whit­
man Savings Bank, etc.
The total disbursements of the year for all four banks were $39,644.37, of which $21,877.67 was to policyholders, which includes death
claims amounting to $6,513, annuity payments of $200, dividends
amounting to $7,117.71, surrender values paid in cash $5,850.04, and
surrender values applied to purchase extended and paid-up insurance
amounting to $2,189.19.
The total expenses chargeable against the premiums received during
the year amount to $17,766.70, or 17.3 per cent. The contributions
to the general insurance guaranty fund amount to $3,876.66, which,
although a charge against the premiums, is not, strictly speaking, an
expense. The total expenses less guaranty fund contributions leaves


https://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

X

REPO RT OF THE

[Pub. Doc.

a balance amounting to $13,890.04. In this amount, $3,000 interest
paid to holders of the certificates of the special guaranty funds is in­
cluded, although not a charge against the premiums. Deducting this
item leaves a balance of $10,890.04, of which $3,181.56 was on account
of medical fees, which occur only once during the history of the policy.
The total expenses of $17,766.70 less medical fees leaves $14,585.14,
which includes the contribution to the general insurance guaranty
fund, irrespective of the duration of the policy, and $3,000 interest paid
to holders of the certificates of the special guaranty funds. This ratio
of expense gives about 14 per cent, as a measure of the charge against
the premiums after the first year. The first year of business of the
Berkshire County Savings Bank and the first months of the City Sav­
ings Bank serve to offset the showing made by the two older banks.
The admitted assets of all four banks amount to $321,586.76, of
which $100,000 is on account of $25,000 guaranty funds in each of
the four banks. The general insurance guaranty fund, made up of
4 per cent, of the premiums collected by all banks, now amounts to
$10,207.83, and is also a general asset.
The total liabilities, not including $100,000 in guaranty funds, amount
to $221,586.76, which includes $174,986 reserve set aside on all policies
outstanding in all banks on October 31, 1912, the dividends apportioned,
surplus, etc.
The dividends apportioned payable during the coming year amount
to $8,832.33, and a surplus in excess of all liabilities amounting to
$32,174.33 is shown.
There were issued by all banks during the year ending October 31,
1912, 2,590 policies, representing $924,505 of insurance. There were
also 22 old policies revived, amounting to $9,907 of insurance. The
net gain is 1,566 policies, for $562,099 of insurance. There were in force
in all four banks on October 31, 1912, 6,652 policies for $2,528,809 of
insurance, with annuity additions of $16,229. There were also in force
82 deferred annuities, representing annual payments of $11,026.
Last year the Commonwealth appropriated $15,000 to carry out the
purposes of the act, to cover the cost of the State Medical Director’s
and State Actuary’s departments, and of the printed forms and books
of record, etc., to be furnished the banks. Thus the banks are freed
from the outset of administrative expense, which otherwise would be a
heavy drain on their resources, especially during the early years of
operation.

As to comparative cost, the State Actuary estimates that for the
monthly premium form, taking first the quoted gross rates for the life
policy, the savings bank insurance policy guarantees a saving of about
17 per cent, as compared with that of the largest industrial company.
The dividends which have been declared on these policies are as fol­
lows : —
First year, 8% per cent.
Second year, 12% per cent.
Third year, 14 per cent.
Fourth year, 16% per cent.
Fifth year, 20 per cent.

In the fifth year, considering the above dividends, the net cost is
about 35 per cent, cheaper than in the largest industrial company.
Thus year by year the saving to the small policyholder increases.
In the case of the $500 annual premium policies, the largest indus­
trial company reduced the rates on this form of policy during the year;
these policies are, however, nonparticipating in this company. During
the year, also, the State Actuary made a readjustment of the mor­
tality basis of the straight life and twenty-payment life policies under
this form, which resulted in a lowering of rates. These $500 annual
premium policies are now lower in initial cost than any policy of ordi­
nary insurance where the occupations are more restricted. Substantial
dividends have been declared on this form of policy, still further re­
ducing the cost, not only over the intermediate policies of the industrial
companies, but also over the policies of the old line companies doing
ordinary insurance business.
The net cost of insurance will continue to improve with the lapse of
time and the growth of the business.
The surplus set aside for the payment of dividends during the financial
year now current absorbed in the Whitman Savings Bank about 45
per cent, and in the People’s Savings Bank about 45 per cent, of the
gain in surplus for the year. The monthly premium dividend scale is
given above; the annual premium dividend scale is not possible to be
represented by a uniform per cent, of the annual premium, but varies
with the kind of policy, the age at issue and duration; these, however,
vary from about 7 per cent, to about 14 per cent, of the annual
premium.
The number of agencies has increased, there being now about 175
wrhich have an appreciable amount of business in force. The number


https://fraser.stlouisfed.org

The general insurance guaranty fund, amounting to over $10,000,
is intact; the special guaranty funds of the banks are also untouched,
besides having paid to their subscribers 4 per cent, interest on the in­
vestment; and in addition each bank has a substantial surplus.
The City Savings Bank of Pittsfield opened its insurance department

During the past year action was instituted by the Attorney-General
in the probate courts of the Commonwealth to carry out the provisions
of law which requires the savings banks to pay over to the Treasurer
and Receiver-General all unclaimed or dormant deposits of more than
thirty years’ standing.
The result of this action is reflected in the marked decrease shown
between the reports of 1907 and 1912.
A comparison of the present reports with those of five years ago
shows that 59 banks which made returns in 1907 have either dis­
covered the owners of dll the accounts reported by them at that time,
numbering 226 and amounting to $43,874.68, or have paid over to the
Treasurer and Receiver-General the amounts represented by such
accounts, and the reports of 56 other banks show that 1,464 accounts,
amounting to $463,811.75, reported in 1907 do not appear in the reports
of October 31, 1912, for reasons similar to those given above.
The present reports show 699 accounts, amounting to $159,045.92,
which appear for the first time, included in which are 25 accounts,
amounting to $10,891.85, reported by 10 banks which did not return

heard 32 petitions, 29 of which were granted, 2 refused and 1 held in
abeyance.
R e c o m m e n d a t io n s .

I hereby make the following recommendations for consideration and
action by the General Court during the ensuing year : —
1. That chapter 399, Acts of 1910, which requires the Bank Commis­
sioner to take possession of delinquent corporations and individual
bankers under his supervision, be amended so that he may be authorized
to relinquish his possession when the bank is ready to resume and at
the same time continue the prosecution of causes begun by him while
in control.
2. That the statute relative to investments by savings banks and
institutions for savings be amended so that such corporations may
retain for a reasonable and proper time investments in certain bonds,
stocks or notes, which at the time of their acquisition were legal invest­
ments and which have subsequently become illegal through failure of
the issuing corporation to comply with the requirements of the law.
Also, that bonds which have been legal investments shall not become
illegal by reason of temporary failure to meet legal requirements.
3. That section 3, chapter 590, Acts of 1908, be so amended that the
number of examiners to be employed shall be determined by the Bank
Commissioner, subject to the approval of the Governor and Council.
4. That section 35, chapter 590, Acts of 1908, be amended so as to
permit the acceptance and approval of fidelity insurance policies.
5. That the laws regulating those persons, partnerships, associations
or corporations who receive money for safekeeping or transmission
abroad be amended so as to more fully protect the public interests.
6. That chapter 450 of the Acts of 1909, limiting the time in which
to bring action for breach of bond, be repealed.

In vestm en ts.

The follow in g is a list o f bonds and notes which, in the opinion
o f this department, are now legal investments under the provisions
o f clauses second, third, fou rth , fifth and sixth o f section 68 o f
chapter 590, Acts o f 1908.

Clause second, relating to investments

in public funds, has been applied only to those counties, cities,
towns and districts which appear to have bonds or notes outstand­
ing, and fro m which debt statements could be obtained.
third is the general law relating to railroad bonds.

Clause

Clause fourth

provided that issues which com plied with the old law shall con ­
tinue, under certain conditions, to be legal investments.

The

banks may not only continue to hold such bonds, but may invest
further in them.

In this list the bonds which do not com ply with

clauses second and third, but continue legal through clause fou rth ,
are printed in italics and the reason in each case is explained in the
footnotes.

Clause fifth relates to investments in street railway

bonds, and clause sixth to investments in telephone company bonds.
Investment in bonds or notes o f cities, toAvns and districts men­
tioned in the list should not be made without further inquiry, as
both their indebtedness and their valuations for the assessment o f
taxes are constantly changing.
