REPO RT OF THE

[Pub. Doc.

The year that has just elapsed has been one of the most trying
and eventful years in the history of modern banking. During that
period the bankers of this Commonwealth have not only been com­
pelled to solve their own problems, but, with their working forces
depleted by the draft, they have been called upon to conduct the
sale of Liberty Bonds and other government securities on behalf of
the national government.
At the beginning of the year there were many who were filled with
dark forebodings, believing that the difficulties to be encountered
were almost insuperable; but the obstacles that loomed so large
have been overcome, the problems which seemed so intricate have
been solved, and the fact that this country has emerged from a suc­
cessful war without the slightest apparent financial stress or strain
is due in a large measure to the courage, co-operation and resource­
ful intelligence, without class distinction, of the bankers of this
Commonwealth, and they are to be congratulated upon having
maintained the high record of the past.
According to statistics prepared by the Comptroller of the Cur­
rency as of June 30, 1918, the total resources of the national banks
of the United States amounted to $17,839,000,000, and the aggregate
resources of the national and State banks, savings banks, private
bankers and trust companies amounted to $40,210,000,000. From
these statements it would appear that the resources of the institu­
tions under the supervision of the Bank Commissioner of this Com­
monwealth were equal to approximately 12| per cent, of the
resources of all the national banks in the country, and to more
than 5 per cent, of the total banking resources of the United States.
These figures demonstrate the extent to which the banking system
of this Commonwealth has been adapted to the needs of its people,
its business and commerce, and the confidence that it has inspired.
They are all the more noteworthy when we consider the various
measures passed, recently pending or proposed at Washington for
the avowed purpose of enabling national banks to compete with
State banking institutions.
The strength of the banking system in this Commonwealth has
been due to its adaptation to local needs and changing conditions,
and to the fact that it has sought to promote intelligently the busi­
ness and commerce of the Commonwealth and to aid the nation in
assuming its proper place in international commerce.

The 196 savings banks doing business report assets amounting to
over $1,132,560,000 and deposits amounting to over $1,033,892,000,
represented by 2,486,834 accounts, an average of about $415.75 to
each account.
During the year there has been placed to the credit of depositors
more than $42,150,000 in dividends. The guaranty fund, amounting
to $50,426,647, is 4.88 per cent. of the amount of deposits. The
increase in the deposits has been over $11,550,000.
There are 102 trust companies with combined assets of $899,721,003.94, of which $673,064,247.51 are the assets of their commercial
banking departments, $77,975,995.72 the assets of their savings de­
partments and $148,680,760.71 the assets of their trust departments.
There are now 186 co-operative banks doing business in this Com­
monwealth with total assets of about $140,201,000, belonging to
about 249,000 shareholders.
There are 59 credit unions doing business, with aggregate assets of
$1,977,778.94, showing an increase during the past year of $730,193.47 in assets and of 3 in number.
The combined assets of the savings banks, the trust companies and
the co-operative banks, together with the Massachusetts Hospital
Life Insurance Company and the branch of the Bank of Nova Scotia,
all of which are under the supervision of this department, amount
to $2,204,996,077.32. This is an increase of more than $155,951,530.65 since a year ago. The number of depositors and shareholders
who have availed themselves of these banking facilities is about
68,500 greater than a year ago.
In addition to these 486 institutions which do a banking business
as ordinarily understood, there are 1 State bank, 3 savings and loan
associations, 73 steamship agents who receive deposits of money for
safekeeping or transmission abroad, and 59 credit unions whose
affairs are supervised and whose books and accounts are examined,
making a total of 622 institutions and agents under the supervision
of this department. There has been paid over to the Treasurer and
Receiver-General during the year about $40,000, which was received
by this department as fees for audits, license fees from steamship
agents and fees for registration of public accountants.
During the period covered by this report the Department has been
asked at various times to co-operate both with the Comptroller of
the Currency and with the officers of the Federal Reserve Bank of

Boston in obtaining information deemed necessary for the national
welfare, to the end that the banking resources of the country might
be placed at the disposal of the national government to the fullest
extent during the period of the war and that measures necessary
to strengthen and maintain the financial structure be taken ad­
visedly. The co-operation requested has been freely given and the
interchange of views resulting therefrom has been mutually helpful.
The Department was represented by the Commissioner, Deputy
Commissioner and chiefs of the Savings Bank Division and the
Co-operative Bank Division at the convention of the National
Association of Supervisors of State Banks, which was held at Hot
Springs, Ark., on the twenty-third, twenty-fourth and twenty-fifth
days of M ay, 1918. This association has wielded a constantly in­
creasing influence in the banking affairs of the nation, and the
enactment of wise banking laws and the adoption of various measures
for the protection of depositors have been promoted by it. The
Commissioner was appointed upon a special committee named to
co-operate with the State banking institutions of the various States
in the establishment of a nation-wide association of State institu­
tions in order to promote sound banking legislation, both State and
national. The work of this committee resulted in the organization,
at a meeting attended by bankers from over thirty States and held
in St. Louis, M o., on July 15, 1918, of the United States Council of
State Banking Associations. The wide scope of this organization
as conceived by its originators is indicated by the fact that the first
president elected was a prominent banker of Los Angeles, Cal.,
while the secretary of the association is connected with one of the
large trust companies of New York city. The first members of the
Council were chosen by Federal Reserve districts.
I ought, perhaps, to mention at this time that, as a natural out­
growth of the acquaintances formed at the conventions of the
National Association of Supervisors of State Banks and the inter­
change of opinions at these conventions, there have been throughout
the period of the war numerous conferences between the supervising
officers of the New England and Middle Atlantic States which
have been, in my judgment, of great benefit to the supervising
officers, to the institutions under their supervision and to the general
public, and have also had considerable influence upon measures
taken at Washington in connection with the financing of the war.

At the time the first Liberty Loan was issued there was grave
apprehension of its effect upon savings deposits. The superintendent
of banks of New York called a conference of the bank commissioners
of New England and the Middle Atlantic States to consider what
action, if any, could be taken to protect savings bank interests.
At this conference the commissioners memorialized the Secretary of
the Treasury, setting forth the investments of savings banks in
real estate mortgages and the hardship which would result if pay­
ment was demanded, and suggesting that relief might be afforded
by the government in case the savings banks had to borrow money
to meet withdrawals. The Secretary of the Treasury was responsive
to this appeal, and considered it in framing the war finance corpora­
tion bill. When that measure was before the finance committee of
the United States Senate, Senator Gallinger secured a hearing for
representatives of the bank commissioners of these several States.
Mr. Thorndike of Massachusetts and Mr. Lyford of New Hampshire
appeared before this committee in behalf of their associate bank
commissioners, outlining the situation of the savings banks and sug­
gesting amendments to the war finance corporation bill, and the bill
was so amended that savings banks can borrow through this corpora­
tion for a length of time and at a rate of interest that is satisfactory
to them. Fortunately no occasion has arisen requiring the savings
banks to borrow money aside from temporary accommodations ob­
tained from their regular correspondents or depositories. Very few
banks have had to ask for accommodation, the calls of their de­
positors being readily met from their ordinary receipts.
National legislation has been proposed under which national banks
may enter into fields which have heretofore been left entirely to
State banking institutions. According to some recent recommenda­
tions emanating from Washington, while the plan for uniform
nation-wide department banks has been temporarily abandoned,
State institutions are not to be left to exercise their special powers
without competition.
Encroachments upon their special powers
are to be authorized and legalized, even if it is necessary to destroy
the uniformity now existing in the national banking system.
If these later theories be enacted into law, whenever a State has
conferred upon any of its financial institutions the power to act
in a fiduciary capacity, the national banks of that State will also
have these powers, even if their exercise is not safeguarded in like

manner. If in any State the State banks are permitted to have
branches, the national banks will in that State also be permitted to
maintain branches. If in any State there has been created a great
system of mutual savings banks, in that State the national banks,
although not mutual but operated for the profit of shareholders,
will be authorized to call their interest departments savings depart­
ments, and so appropriate the word which has for a generation or
more been synonymous in this State with mutual institutions created
under State laws. These deposits, moreover, will not be segregated,
nor will the entire net income from investments be distributed among
the depositors.
It does not seem to me that the national banking system needs
so much paternalism and avowed protection. In fact, it may be
questioned if the national banks do not really suffer from so many
alleged and widely advertised attempts to promote their interests.
In this Commonwealth, at least, the national banks are able to
protect themselves and are worthy of the utmost confidence and
respect. National and State institutions have constantly and con­
sistently co-operated to promote the general welfare, and during the
war have united in giving patriotic support to the national govern­
ment by financing the various Liberty Loans. They have, whenever
necessary, taken concerted action for the purpose of promoting and
sustaining the business and commerce of the State and of the entire
country. When left to themselves there is no quarrel between them.
The national banking act was designed to give to the United
States a uniform system of commercial banks adapted to the needs
of every part of the country. In order to distinguish them from
State institutions and give them the advantage of such reputation
as they might earn, they were given the exclusive right to the use of
the word “ national.” They were also given the power to issue
currency secured by bonds of the national government upon prof­
itable terms, and the State banks, by prohibitive taxation, were
compelled to forego the privilege of issuing currency. So well have
the national banks fulfilled the purposes for which they were designed
that the name national bank is in itself an advertisement. It has
become a title of honor, descriptive throughout the United States of
uniform and well-defined banking institutions, and the national
banks might to-day well resent the theory that they need such
constant solicitude and assistance from official sources.

In the meantime, however, in various sections of the country
State institutions have been developed to meet the special business
and commercial needs of different localities. Their special powers,
however, are attended by special risks, and safeguards against such
risks have, as the result of experience, been embodied in the State
laws which cannot be readily inserted in Federal acts applicable to
the entire country. As the national banks were intended to be
strictly commercial banks, they were prohibited from making long­
term loans upon real estate security, and they did not solicit the
small deposits of industrious laborers and wage-earners of other
classes or pay interest thereon. As a consequence, mutual savings
banks have been developed in the northeastern and middle States
to encourage thrift by investing the small savings of the people for
them and returning to them the profits derived from such invest­
ments after deducting expenses and so much of the earnings as is
deemed necessary to guarantee the safety of deposits during periods
of depression. In order that their deposits might be safely used for
the development of the communities in which the funds were ac­
cumulated, the trustees of these mutual institutions were originally
authorized to invest in high-grade mortgages; they were also au­
thorized to invest in bonds of the United States, of the wealthiest
and most populous States and in very high-grade municipal securi­
ties. The system was developed to such an extent that further in­
vestments became necessary, and the savings banks were authorized
to assist in the development of the entire country by investing a
portion of their deposits in the high-grade railroad bonds. The
laws under which these mutual savings banks have operated are so
restrictive and the system of supervision evolved has been so efficient
that, although the mutual savings banks of Massachusetts alone
now have total resources of $1,132,563,108, in a period of nearly
thirty years, only seven savings banks have been closed by the bank
commissioners with any loss to depositors, and the losses, when com­
pared with the vast amount of deposits received and returned during
that period, are of course almost infinitesimal.
It would be impossible to estimate their importance in developing
the real estate resources of the Commonwealth. Their present out­
standing mortgages aggregate $529,887,256.

At the end of the last fiscal year 7 trust companies had become

the trust companies on the ground of patriotism, and their belief
that the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston should be strengthened in
order to meet all emergencies resulting from the war, 13 more trust
companies have become members of that institution, making a total
of 20 trust companies that are now members of the Federal Reserve

The tenth full financial year of Savings Bank Life Insurance ended
October 31, 1918. This report includes the annual statement for the
year of the four banks which have undertaken the business of life
insurance 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.
These banks issued and revived during the year ending October 31,
1918, 9,122 policies, representing $3,610,795 of insurance. The net
gain is 3,027 policies for $1,643,970 of insurance. There were in
force in all four banks on October 31, 1918, 20,707 policies for
$9,783,239 insurance, with 104 annuities representing annual pay­
ments of $30,268.
These banks are prohibited from employing solicitors or house-tohouse collectors of premiums. The largest single portion of the
expense to the policy holder is thus removed. The savings bank
life insurance plan appeals to the people on the basis of thrift, and
especially to the savings bank depositors. It is recognized that some
inexpensive substitute must be provided for the soliciting agent,
consequently the banks are permitted to establish agencies through­
out the State in mills, shops and factories, and public places, in­
cluding other savings banks and trust companies. The mechanism
whereby these agencies serve as feeders to the insurance banks is
simple: an employer becomes an agency for the insurance banks by
signing agency agreements in which he agrees to collect the premiums
from his employees on their policies and remit them to the banks
once a month. The employer appoints an agency secretary, usually
the paymaster, and the agency is entitled to 2 per cent, of the
collections so made. M ost of the employers waive this collection fee
in order that they may say to their employees that the service is
rendered absolutely without compensation to the employer, while
other employers take the collection fee and give it as additional
compensation to the agency secretary. The employee usually signs
I

an authorization which is handed to the paymaster and authorizes
him to deduct the amount of the premium from the pay envelope
when the premium comes due. Thus the evil of lapsing policies,
which was ever-present in the private industrial companies, and
formed a large part of the cause of the high cost of insurance, is
mitigated in the banks; and the initiative to lapse the policy is
placed on the employee, because his authorization acts until he
revokes it, whereas in the companies the policy holder must take the
initiative to pay his premium; if he does not, his policy lapses.
Premiums are also paid direct to the banks or to a public agency.
There are to-day throughout the State about 250 agencies in mills,
shops and factories; there are 45 savings bank public agencies, 20 in
trust companies, 2 in national banks, and 14 other public agencies.
The public agencies in banks and trust companies are: —

Ik Chapter 246 of the Acts of 1914 amended section 15 of chapter
561 of the Acts of 1907 by requiring the mortality experience of all
savings and insurance banks to be averaged and unified, so that it
makes no difference in what bank a death occurs, it is distributed
over all banks. This applies only to the mortality experience and
is in the interest of greater security. In all other respects the in­
surance departments are separate in their operation. The invest­
ments are in the same kind of securities as those of the savings
banks.
The system is entirely mutual and dividends are paid to policy
holders every year. In addition to the regular dividends paid by the
four savings banks with insurance departments for the year Novem­
ber 1, 1918, to October 31, 1919, two of the banks are paying extra
dividends, equal to 33| per cent, of the regular dividends, to their
annual premium policy holders.
The banks issue two forms of policies, monthly premium and
annual premium policies. The monthly premium policies are de­
signed to take the place of the weekly premium policies issued by
the companies and are issued at a net cost approximately 35 per
cent, less than by the companies. Insurance on the monthly pre­
mium basis is principally for amounts less than $500, and is now
issued from age two next birthday to age sixty-five next birthday.
Annual premium policies are issued for amounts of $500 or $1,000,
and with four banks issuing insurance a maximum of $4,000 in­
surance may be obtained.
Annuities, both immediate •and deferred, are issued, each bank
being limited to a maximum yearly payment of $200.
Insurance is also written on the group plan, and already several
firms have availed themselves of this opportunity to obtain insur­
ance for their employees.

The law relative to the collection of savings from school children
has now been in force for seven years. On October 31, 1918, there
were 61 savings banks receiving deposits of this nature.
The reports of these banks show that deposits are being received
from 393 schools located in 68 cities or towns, the system being

C ertified P ublic A ccountants .

The ninth examination of applicants for certificates as public
accountants was held on November 18 and 19, 1918, when 99 persons
presented themselves for examination. These examinations are con­
ducted by a Board of Examiners, appointed by and acting in con­
junction with the Bank Commissioner. The last examination took
place on November 18 and 19, 1918, and 99 applicants were present.
As a result of this examination 24 applicants were granted certifi­
cates of registration as certified public accountants. There are now
183 accountants holding certificates of registration under the laws
of this Commonwealth.

This Board, consisting of the Bank Commissioner, Treasurer and
Receiver-General and the Commissioner of Corporations, is consti­
tuted by chapter 590, Acts of 1908, to pass upon all applications for
the establishment of domestic banking corporations. During the
year 1918 the Board has held 31 meetings and heard 36 applications
and has visited 2 localities in which it was desired to establish such
corporations or branch offices. Thirty-one applications were granted,
2 were refused, and 3 held in abeyance. These hearings have been
upon 7 applications for new trust companies, 3 applications for new
co-operative banks and 9 applications for new credit unions, beside
additional hearings held for the purpose of determining changes of
name, operating trust departments and establishing branch offices.

The fiscal year 1917-18, ending at the close of business October 31,
1918, has proved rather hard and unprofitable f o r . this class of
bankers. The sale of steamship tickets has stopped entirely, and
a large loss in revenue has followed from this cause, while the
volume of remittances to foreign countries and the profit therefrom
has decreased.
Nine licenses were not renewed upon their
expiration, although the bonds remained in force.
Reports were received from 73 bankers, these reports showing that
46 of this number received deposits of money for safe-keeping to a
total amount of 82,838,636.80, an increase of $876,985.21 since the
preceding report. The total amount sent to foreign countries was
$9,449,732, a decrease of $657,168.
During the fiscal year there was collected in license fees and paid
into the treasury of the Commonwealth the sum of $2,975.
The unfortunate condition of affairs prevailing in Russia has
wrnrked hardship to persons sending money to that country. Very
little attempt has been made by the bankers to send remittances
there during the year. Previous to that time many persons, in-

fluenced by the very low rate of exchange, had sent, through these
bankers, orders for the deposit of roubles to their credit in the
Russian Government Savings Bank, and it has been impossible to
secure pass books, or other evidences of the deposit of the remittances
which were sent during the four or five months previous to the
revolution. The total amount of money involved is quite large, and
the inability of the banker in this country to obtain evidence that
he has fulfilled his obligation in the matter has brought about a very
embarrassing situation, for which the banker is in no way to blame,
but for which he receives the most of the adverse criticism.
The following table is compiled from the last five annual reports
made to this department, and shows the amount of money forwarded
to various foreign countries: —

These bankers have very generally lived up to the intent of the
statutes and have endeavored to carry out the recommendations of
this department, and in justice to them it would seem to me that in
the near future all persons who make a business of receiving com­
paratively small sums of money for safe-keeping should pay the
same license fee and be under the same supervision.
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 for the ensuing year: —
1. Under the existing statutes savings banks are limited in their
investments in railroad bonds to those issued by railroads that


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

XX

REPO RT OF THE

[Pub. Doc.

operate their roads and with specified earnings for a definite period
of years. In the opinion of the Attorney-General, the taking and
operation of the railroads by the United States government has dis­
qualified these bonds as savings bank investments. As the govern­
ment has declared its intention to pay a just compensation, the
bonds of the railroads so taken over by the government should not
in my opinion be invalidated. I am presenting a bill amending our
existing statutes in order that savings banks may continue to invest
in the same kind of bonds as before.
2. The statute provides that trust companies shall not make a
loan to any one person in excess of a certain proportion of its capital
stock and surplus. The spirit of the law is to prevent too large a
part of its capital being invested in one place or enterprise. By
making loans to various persons wfith the same collateral, or by
making a division of the collateral and making various loans on the
various parts of the collateral, one person or a group of persons
might be able to use the entire resources of one trust company in
aiding their own schemes. T o avoid such contingency I recommend
an amendment to the statute to prevent such a situation.
3. The savings banks are required to make a classified statement
each fifth year of certain persons and organizations who make a
deposit during that year. It would seem more satisfactory if the
classified statement gives the number of such persons and organiza­
tions and the extent to which they avail themselves of the savings
banks at the date of the annual reports of those years, inasmuch as
the transactions of a single year do not fully indicate the accumula­
tions of the amounts of these classified deposits.
4. The savings banks have performed a service to the government
of the United States by enabling their depositors who have pur­
chased Liberty Loan Bonds to leave their bonds where they may be
safely cared for, and this accommodation has undoubtedly stimulated
the purchases of the Liberty Loan Bonds by persons who had no
place to store them against loss. As there is a doubt as to whether a
savings bank can legally receive deposits of bonds for safe-keeping, I
am recommending a statute authorizing them to perform that task.
5. As to credit unions, although they are organized for the purpose
of accumulating and investing the savings of their members and
making loans to members for provident purposes, yet the statute au­
thorizes the use of the word “ bank” if approved by the Board of


https://fraser.stlouisfed.org

}
Bank Incorporation. They are not limited in their investments, as
are other Massachusetts banks. They make loans on second mort­
gages and loans beyond the confines of the Commonwealth, and,
generally speaking, obtain a larger interest rate than do other bank­
ing institutions. As they are carried on for the profit of their mem­
bers, I see no reason why they should be exempt from taxation as
eleemosynary institutions. I therefore again recommend that they
be not exempted from taxation. I also recommend that their loans
on real estate be limited to at least 80 per cent, of the value of im­
proved property or 50 per cent, of the value of farm lands loaned on,
and that their loans beyond the confines of Massachusetts be limited
the same as are those of savings banks and trust companies, and that
the committee recommending such loans shall make reports of the
value of the property in the same manner as is required of savings

banks.
6.
I again call to your attention that chapters 470 and 610 of the
Acts of 1914 prohibit other than incorporated banks and licensed
bankers from soliciting or receiving deposits or transacting business
in the way or manner of a savings bank. They do not prevent
others than incorporated banks and licensed bankers from receiving
deposits of money. It would seem that all persons, partnerships,
associations and corporations receiving small amounts of money as
above, and who are not under State supervision, should be required
to so inform those who entrust money to their care, and in order to
determine who may be carrying on such banking this department
should have the necessary authority to investigate.

STATEMENT

L ist

of

lv

No. 24.

L egal I nvestments .

The following is a list of bonds and notes which, in the opinion
of this department, are now legal investments under the provisions
of clauses second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth of section 68 of chapter
590, Acts of 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 outstanding, and
from which debt statements could be obtained. Clause third is the
general law relating to railroad bonds which has been amended
by the present General Court by the addition of subdivision “ o.” ,
continuing as legal investments bonds of certain railroads during the
period of government operation. Clause fourth provides that issues
which complied with the old law shall continue, under certain
conditions, to be legal investments. The banks may not only con­
tinue to hold such bonds, but may invest further in them. In this
list the bonds which do not comply with clauses second and third,
but continue legal through clause fourth, 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 of cities, towns and districts men­
tioned in the list should not be made without further inquiry, as both
their indebtedness and their valuations for the assessment of taxes
are constantly changing.
