To the Honorable Senate and House of Representatives.
The Commissioners o f Savings Banks have the honor to
present their Ninth Annual Report for the consideration of the
legislature.
There are 168 savings banks doing business in the Common­
wealth, the same as last year.
The last legislature granted an act of incorporation for the
Granite Savings Bank of Rockport.

A meeting o f the corpo­

rators has been holden, and the officers of the corporation have
been chosen, but the bank has not yet been opened for the
receipt of deposits.
During the year, final dividends o f the receiverships o f two
insolvent savings banks have been allowed

The final dividend allowed to the depositors o f the Sandwich

viously paid, was 81 per cent, o f the principal o f the deposits.

affairs o f which are not sufficiently advanced to admit of the
allowance o f the final divid en d ,— those o f the Scituate, Read­
ing and Lancaster Savings banks.
The receivers o f the Scituate and Reading Savings banks are
waiting the decision by the courts o f controverted legal ques­
tions.

They will then be ready for an immediate settlement

o f the affairs of these banks.
The Lancaster Savings Bank was placed in the hands of
receivers D ec. 3 0 , 1875.

No dividend has been paid to the

depositors since October, 1878, more than six years.

The

receivers allege that the difficulty of disposing o f a large parcel
of unimproved real estate in the Dorchester district o f Boston,
at a price that is considered reasonable by them, has prevented
the final settlement.

W e are, however, of the opinion that the

settlement is unnecessarily protracted ; that the property should
be sold, either at private or public sale, for the most that it
will bring, and the proceeds o f the remaining assets distributed
to the depositors during the coming spring.

The percentage of assets in the various classes o f investments
is fifteen and five one-hundredths per cent, in public funds and
loans on public fu nd s; nine and ninety-seven one-hundredths
per cent, in bank stock and loans on sa m e; five and five onehundredths per cent, in railroad bonds ; thirty-six and fourteen
one-hundredths per cent, in loans on mortgages of real estate;
two and thirty-nine one-hundredths per cent, invested in real
estate,

including foreclosures;

twenty-two and ninety-three

one-hundredths per cent, in loans on personal security; three
and sixty-one one-hundredths per cent, in loans to counties,
cities and towns ; three and twenty-four one-hundredths per
cent, in deposits in banks on interest; one and fifty-nine onehundredths per cent, in cash on hand and sundry items.
The earnings o f the banks were $ 1 3 ,5 7 5 ,0 4 7 .6 3 — $ 4 8 7 ,838 .7 5 more than the previous year.

The amount o f dividends

was $ 9 ,8 7 7 ,7 1 3 .4 4 , an increase of $ 3 4 2 ,3 2 2 .0 8 .
Twenty banks paid the highest rate of dividends allowed, —
five per cent. ; twenty-five banks paid dividends between four
and five per cent. ; one hundred and seventeen banks paid four
per cent, dividends; three banks paid three and one-half per
cent, dividends ; two banks paid three per cent, dividends
and one bank, which was temporarily enjoined by a decree o f
the supreme judicial court, and is being wound up by its offi­
cers, paid no dividend o f interest.
The average rate of ordinary dividends was four and fifteen
one-hundredths per cent., or six one-hundredths per cent, more
than the previous year.
In view o f the prevailing financial and industrial depression,
the prosperity o f the savings banks during the past year is sig­
nificant o f the conservative management which has characterized
these institutions since the passage of the general law o f 1876.

T rust Companies .

There are eight o f these companies, including the Massachu­
setts Hospital Life Insurance Company and the Collateral Loan
Company, now doing business in the Commonwealth.
There are no special remarks to be made relative to any one
of these companies.
The general bill in relation to

“

Loan and Trust Companies”

reported to the last legislature by the Commissioners o f Sav­
ings Banks and the Commissioner o f Corporations, pursuant to
instructions by the previous legislature, failed o f adoption.
The conflicting views and interests o f the different companies
prevented any unity of action by them, and the Committee on
Banks and Banking, to whom the report o f the Commission­
ers was referred, reluctantly arrived at the conclusion that it
would be inexpedient to press the passage o f the bill at that
time.

Co- operative Banks .
There are now twenty-six co-operative banks doing business
in the Commonwealth, one more than last year.
The W e ir Co-operative Bank was organized in the village of
W e ir , city o f Taunton, and commenced business July 16, 1884.
The bill introduced into the last legislature to authorize co­
operative banks to establish a guarantee fund failed to become a
law.

W e are o f the opinion that it would be found a salutary

measure for the security of these institutions during periods of
depression in values of real estate, and we recommend that
such a law be enacted.
W e also recommend that the general law regulating these
banks be amended so as to provide for the consolidation o f the
offices of secretary and treasurer.

Our experience in the super­

vision of these banks constantly tends to confirm us in the
belief that the


https://fraser.stlouisfed.org

consolidation would operate for their better

1 8 8 5 .J

P U B L IC D O C U M E N T — N o. 8.

xi

security and for the greater convenience o f the shareholders,
and all others having transactions with them, especially as the
volume o f their business increases.
This opinion is in harmony with that of most of the officers
o f these banks with whom we have conferred relative to this
change.
These banks have generally enjoyed

a prosperous year.

They have increased their assets $ 5 0 0 ,6 6 0 .7 7 during the year,
which now amount to $ 1 ,9 7 1 ,9 2 3 .2 0 , as will be seen by the
table o f statistics relative to these institutions on the following
page.
In the succeeding pages will be found a copy o f the Public
Statutes relative to savings banks, with such additions and
amendments as have been made by the various legislatures to
the present time.
