seven per cent., will soon be paid, making a total dividend to
the depositors o f sixty and one-third per cent. A statement o f
its financial condition will be found on page 681.
Reading Savings Bank.
This bank was placed in the hands o f receivers in 1879.
Many complications, legal and otherwise, have greatly delayed
a final settlement, but all matters have now been settled or
arranged for settlement, and a final account will undoubtedly
be rendered within three months, and the affairs o f this bank
closed up without further delay. A statement o f its financial
condition will be found on page 682.
Framingham Savings Bank.
The injunction o f the supreme judicial court is still in force,
the bank transacting all business except the paying and receiv­
ing o f deposits. The outlook for a speedy resumption o f busi­
ness and the consequent removal o f the injunction is very
favorable indeed.
All losses have been charged oft’, including those caused by
the transactions o f C. C. Esty.
The assets have been carefully examined, and there is no
reason to doubt their present-named values, or to expect any
further shrinkage.
The statement or balance sheet, to be found on page 204,
shows that the assets at the values named therein are sufficient
to pay every deposit account in full.
‘It is confidently hoped and expected that this bank will
resume business next May or June, and pay a dividend at that
time.
Union Savings B ank.
The partial injunction placed upon this bank Oct. 1, 1888,
made necessary by the actions o f its treasurer, who also held
the position o f cashier o f the National Union Bank, doing busi­
ness in the same room and at the same counter as the savings
©
bank, will without question be removed May 1 next, and the
depositors then receive the usual dividend.
The loss to this bank arose principally from insecure loans,
which appear to have been made to cover up fraudulent trans­
actions between the two banks ; but, appearing in legal form

and in the usual course o f business, no redress could be claimed
o f the National Union Bank or any other party, and therefore
the loss had to be sustained by the savings bank, necessitating
a cessation o f three dividends, which is one less than this Board
believed would be necessary when the irregularities between
the two banks were first discovered.
The suit against the National Union Bank to recover the value
o f certain overdraft checks, the property o f the National Union
Bank, placed in the savings bank by the late cashier, and
referred to in our last report, has been decided in favor o f the
savings bank, and the full value thereof ($30,562.00), with
interest at the rate o f six per cent, (a total o f $32,452.49) has
been paid to the savings bank. The depositors are to be con­
gratulated on the settlement o f this claim, and the recovery
of the full amount with interest, thus saving a large loss to
the bank, as well as preventing a delay o f at least one year in
the resumption o f business.
The statement o f condition or balance sheet o f this bank will
be found on page 568, showing a very favorable and sound con­
dition. All the assets o f the bank o f every kind have bben
closely scrutinized by the trustees, even to a personal examina­
tion o f every real-estate loan ; and nothing appears upon the
statement which has not at this date its full value.
It should be stated that a portion o f the loss accruing to this
bank was caused by a re-rating o f the value o f the banking
house. It was formerly carried on the books at $37,200; it
now appears at $25,000, — a reduction or loss o f $12,200.
This value is considered conservative. The building had been
neglected for years, and was badly out o f repair ; certain repairs
were imperative, and a small outlay was necessary in order to put
the building in a safe and tenantable condition, which amount
has been charged to expense. The banking room is now in
good condition, and will not require any further outlay for some
years to come.
The bank will resume business under an almost entirely new
board ot trustees and corps ot officers,— men o f financial
strength, business ability, and having the unqualified confidence
o f the community, — who are not identified officially with the
National Union Bank, now occupying the same banking room.
The business o f the savings bank is as distinct from the National

The difference between these two amounts shows the increase

The total assets o f the one hundred and seventy-seven savings
banks o f this Commonwealth, $350,072,392.12, are exceeded
by no other State except New Y ork, in which they are
$615,889,796 ; but, when considered from the stand-point o f
size and population, we surpass even that great State, inas­
much as the number o f deposit accounts are 1,029,694, against
1,362,852 in New Y ork, and the increase o f open accounts for
the year exceed by 634 those o f New Y ork.
It is also gratifying to note that on the same grounds we
exceed the deposits o f the savings banks in Great Britain.
The average deposit per capita o f population in our Common­
wealth, per census o f 1885, is $171.38 ; but this cannot be called
strictly correct, for without doubt there are some deposits be­
longing to citizens o f other States.

The range o f investments as now allowed by statute to our
savings banks is sufficiently broad to be in keeping with good
conservative management, where safety and not the largest
possible revenue is the principal guide and aim in placing these
trust funds.
One or two changes might be made, however, to advantage ;
viz., under the statutes, savings banks can invest in the bonds
o f certain cities in certain States, provided they are issued for
municipal purposes. Many o f these cities did issue bonds for
other than municipal purposes, and the purpose was stated in


https://fraser.stlouisfed.org

1890.]

P U B L IC D O C U M E N T — No. 8.

xi

the body o f the bond ; some o f these bonds have matured and
been paid by a renewal o f the bond, but the purpose formerly
stated has been omitted in the renewal, and therefore they
apparently appear as issued for municipal purposes, when in
fact they were not. Thus this Board and the officers o f the
banks are often greatly embarrassed in ascertaining what was
issued for municipal purposes and what was not.
Various
other complications enter into this subject, conflicting with
the implied purpose o f the law.
The restrictions placed upon this class o f investments —
limit o f population and especially the limit o f indebtedness
— seem sufficient. The pledge o f the credit o f the city under
these restrictions would appear to be ample security, without
naming the particular purpose for which the bond was issued.
W e recommend that the words “ for municipal purposes” be
stricken from the law, and suggest that the words “ issued
according to law ” be added, and the unquestioned pledge o f
the credit o f the city or town be required.
I n v e st m e n ts .

The largest increase in particular lines o f investments is
in railroad bonds, loans on personal security, and loans on real
estate.
The nearest approach to the legal limit o f any investment is
in that o f loans on personal security, which now averages nearly
twenty-four per cent, o f deposits and income, the limit being
thirty-three and one-third per cent.
By reference to the law (section 20 o f chapter 116, Public
Statutes), it will be observed that this line o f investment was
intended to be the exceptional one ; but it has proved in many
cases to be the favorite, presumably because it has supplied
the opportunity for loaning money by our banks which could
not be obtained o f them in any other way. During the past
three years the losses in the savings banks have been greater
through this class o f investments than in any other.
Safety should be the governing principle in the invest­
ments o f our savings banks ; they are trust funds, and should
not be placed at any business risk.
The amount loaned on personal security with collateral is 138,137,349 25
The amount loaned on personal security without collateral is 45,253,355 96

Cash on hand, the reserve fund o f the savings banks, amount­
ing to $12,455,506.84, is nearly $3,000,000 more than last
year, yet is but three and one-half per cent, o f the entire
assets, which is no more than should be on hand, in order to
meet any immediate demand for payment o f deposits. O f this
, amount, but $1,190,428.43, one-third o f one per cent, o f
the total assets, is actual cash on hand or money in banks
not drawing any interest; the balance, $11,265,078.41, slightly
rising three per cent., is on deposit in banks drawing interest
at from two to four per cent.
National banks are required to carry a reserve o f not less
than fifteen per cent., which consists almost entirely o f cash
on hand or bank balances, to meet the demands o f their
depositors.
It will be observed that the savings banks carry but onefourth as much reserve as national banks are required t o ; it is
not necessary that they should carry as much, as they are not
called upon to be prepared for the sudden changes and
demands for money as in business circles.
The present
amount o f cash reserve in our savings banks does not appear
any too large, or indicate an unwarranted amount o f funds
awaiting permanent investment.

D ividends .

The average dividend paid upon deposits is four and eight
one-hundredths per cent.
A computation o f the earning capacity o f investments made
in the bonds o f railroads, cities and towns, shows it to be three
and five-eighths per cent, at their present market value.
Deposits in savings banks are very closely allied to these
classes o f investments, hence can very properly be compared
thereto ; and the comparison is in favor o f the savings banks,
or perhaps it can be better stated that the savings banks are
paying a higher rate o f revenue to-day than like investments
are earning and paying. This is due very largely to fortunate
investments in bank stock, and the purchase, many years ago,
at low figures, o f bonds bearing a high rate o f interest. Some
o f these bonds are now maturing, and others will in the
near future, and are being paid or likely to be at maturity by
renewal at a rate netting but three and five-eighths per cent.,
thus greatly reducing the revenue.
The attempt to pay large dividends would naturally tend to
risk the funds in investments for the sake o f large returns. It
'should not be expected that savings banks can or would pay a
larger rate o f dividends than money will earn invested in a like
manner elsewhere. High rates o f dividends attract deposits
from that class o f people for whom savings banks are not
designed, and who are able and have had sufficient experience
to take care o f their own investments; these deposits are
the first to be drawn out whenever a good opportunity for
investment is presented, and at a time which yields a full return
to the depositor.
Such deposits cannot be looked upon as
profitable, especially when the earning capacity o f money is
three and five-eighths per cent., and the rate o f dividend paid
slightly exceeds four per cent.
The earning capacity o f money has been steadily lowering,
and a fair inference is that soon, if not already, as good reasons
will exist for a lower rate o f dividends as did exist when for­
merly reduced. In view, therefore, o f these facts, the paying
o f large dividends is certainly to be discouraged; and it is a
serious question whether it is not wise to forecast the future,
and prepare for a lower rate o f dividends by our savings banks.

Be it enacted, etc., as follow s:
During the year eighteen hundred and eighty-nine and every third
year thereafter, savings banks and institutions for savings shall call
in the books o f deposit o f their depositors for verification in such
manner as their respective boards o f trustees may elect. [.Approved
February 1 6 , 1888 .

Am ong some o f the banks it has been done in a very thor­
ough manner, and proved very satisfactory.
The most effective method adopted was as follows : A person
was employed to be at the banking room for a month (or for the
period during which the bank had advertised for the books to
be brought in or had sent circulars to the last known address o f
the dep ositor), who was empowered to receive the books and
compare them with the accounts o f the bank before any other
officer saw them. A record o f the number o f the book and the
amount to its credit was taken, and a full report made to the
trustees. By this method it will be observed that no possible
chance existed for deception by any officer. The results have
proved very gratifying to treasurers, clerks and trustees, both
as to method and errors. This method was not generally used,
still, in many cases it was in a modified way.
The most common manner was an examination by the treas­
urer or clerk s; and, while it verified the books and accounts
by the same ones who very likely made the original entry, it
cannot be said that the results were proven as conclusively
as by the method mentioned above.
No returns have been made or asked for as to the number o f
books presented ; but verbal statements made to the members
o f this Board at the usual examinations indicate a very fair
response to the request for the presentation o f books. One
o f the smallest banks stated that all but three accounts had
been verified ; another, 1,100 out o f 1,800 books had been veri-

tied ; still another states that out o f 14,000 depositors’ books
11,702 had been presented for verification, and that o f the
total o f $2,500,000 o f deposits only $140,000 remained not
verified.
One o f the largest institutions in the Commonwealth stated
that there had been presented for verification 14,467 depositors’
books out o f a total o f 24,722 ; o f these 14,467 books, 2,981
were for accounts opened prior to 1876. These illustrations
show a fair average o f what has been accomplished where any
special effort was made, and would seem to be sufficient to
detect systematic fraud, if any existed.

The above statement, which appears this year for the first
time, is very interesting, and conclusive in its results, as it
clearly indicates the class o f people who patronize our savings
banks, and well sustains the position taken by this Board on
the subject.
The average o f new deposits for the year, as shown by these
figures, is but $68.13. The average o f individual deposits is
really less than this amount, for these reasons : in the total
amount returned are a great many transferred accounts treated
as new deposits ; these accounts represent money deposited

years ago, which has been allowed to accumulate, and on the
decease o f the original depositor has been transferred to his
or her h eirs; these are but the original deposit with the
accumulations, and being placed to the credit o f another person,
are treated as new accounts, and thus swell improperly the
amount o f new deposits.
These transferred accounts are very generally above $500 ;
the total amount we are not able to state, as full returns have
not been made to us o f them, but it is sufficiently large to
materially affect and reduce the average o f individual deposits.
The incomplete data in our possession shows that in thirty-five
banks which have made returns o f these transferred accounts,
out o f $1,259,055.43 so transferred, $1,030,977.81 exceeded
$500.
Further deductions must be made o f deposits made to the
credit o f religious and charitable institutions, amounting to
$1,219,431.34; also those made by orders o f probate courts,
and a portion o f the trust deposits.
Particular attention is called to the average of new deposits
o f $50 and less, also to the large number o f such deposits, —
746,199, — which is three-fourths o f all the deposits made,
transferred accounts and all.
It is not to be understood that each deposit represents a
depositor, for several deposits may be made on an account
during the y e a r ; but when we consider that at this date there
are 1,029,694 open accounts on the books o f our savings
banks, an account for every two persons o f the entire popula­
tion ; and that o f the 992,376 deposits made this year there
were
746,199 deposits of $50 and less, averaging
870,159 deposits of $100 and less, averaging
926,857 deposits of $200 and less, averaging

this last number being 93 per cent, o f the w h ole; and the
further evidence that o f the 992,376 deposits, 434,219, a trifle
less than one-half in number, and in amount $29,303,801.83 o f
the total o f $67,609,338.47 deposited, were made by women, we
have the undeniable evidence that our savings banks are used
by the people, for whom they were designed and by whom
they are maintained. Additional force is given to this state-

ment by these fa cts: the average amount to the credit o f these
1,029,694 deposit accounts is $323.13, and per capita o f pop­
ulation is $171.38.
The compilation o f these returns has entailed upon the bank
officers much additional labor and expense. The purpose o f
the law evidently being accomplished, it seems unnecessary to
compile these figures every year, as in the future they will
be but statistical.
W e recommend, therefore, that they be
required not oftener than once in five years.

W e respectfully recommend for your consideration the sub­
ject o f allowing deposits to be received and placed to the
credit o f guardians to a larger amount than is now provided
by statute. The present limit is $1,000. The limit o f deposits
ordered by courts has been removed, and it might very prop­
erly be removed so far as relates to the deposits o f guardians,
who are, to a certain extent, under the orders o f the courts.
S chool S avin g s B a n k s .

In an adjoining State a system o f school savings banks has
been inaugurated, the reports o f which are quite flattering.
In L ong Island City the report shows in six schools a weekly
deposit one year ago o f $232.18, the corresponding week o f
the present year o f $247.80; their total deposits at present
date amounting to $17,449.11.
Some sixty school savings
banks are now in existence in this country.
The great advantage to be derived from this system, aside
from educating the children that “ the habit o f saving is an
essential part o f a true, practical education,” is the ready
opportunity and easy method it affords for placing their small
savings (pennies) on deposit. It is hardly practicable for our
savings banks to receive on deposit a single penny, and enter
it through all its system o f accounts, as the expense attending
the opening o f these accounts would exceed the profits derived
therefrom ; but, where these small savings are accounted for in
the savings banks through the agency o f a teacher in his or her
capacity as a teacher, the multiplicity o f accounts is avoided,
and the benefits to the children accomplished.

account amounts to a stipulated sum, say fifty cents or one
dollar, then it might be assumed by the bank.
Much has been said about affording the people, as well as
children, an easy method o f making small deposits, and so afford
every opportunity possible for the saving o f that which might
be wasted for the lack o f place and method. Postal savings
banks have been suggested. No doubt there are great advan­
tages to be derived from postal savings banks, particularly in
that section o f our country where there are but few, if any,
savings banks; but it must not be lost sight of, that, besides
encouraging savings and affording opportunities for such accu­
mulations, one great benefit o f our savings banks system is,
that its investments are made so as to afford the greatest benefit
to home industries; the accumulations are invested at home,
and supply the capital which gives the opportunity for further
savings. Nearly seven-eighths o f the investments o f our savings
banks, three hundred and fifty millions o f dollars, are invested
so as to directly benefit our own people. The deposits in
United States postal savings banks would o f course be taken
away from each locality and deposited in the treasury at
W ashington; and thus one o f the leading features and bene­
fits o f our savings banks system — investing at home — would
be defeated.
It is also a question whether the methods which our United
States government would be obliged to adopt, in order to
properly protect itself and the depositor, would be such as to
commend themselves as easy methods o f deposit and with­
drawal, particularly as relates to withdrawals. Experience in
United States matters indicates slow methods and great d ela y ;
this certainly would defeat one o f the main objects claimed.
School savings banks, in preference to postal savings banks,
— and the plan need not be limited to schools, but may be ex­
tended in other channels, like temperance societies and similar
organizations, — seem to afford every requisite necessary for
the purpose suggested; viz., affording every facility possible
for depositing the smallest amount.
The only legislation
needed is the recognition o f such agency for deposits, and pro­
viding for payment to successors in office o f the agent, or
direct to the depositor in certain cases.

MORTGAGE-LOAN COMPANIES.
The two mortgage-loan companies placed under the super­
vision o f this Board two years ago have been examined as
carefully and thoroughly as it is possible to do in any company
whose business is principally transacted outside this Common­
wealth. The examination was mostly made by an expert
selected by this Board, but no examination was made o f their
agencies or offices at the W est, where the loans are originally
made.
In view o f the fact that similar companies doing business in
this Commonwealth, though chartered by other States, are
under the supervision o f a commissioner appointed by this
Commonwealth, who does visit and examine their agencies and
their loans, we recommend that these two companies, and
others which may be chartered in the future under the provi­
sions o f chapter 387 o f the Acts o f 1888, be placed under the
supervision o f the commissioner o f foreign mortgage corpora­
tions.

• TRUST COMPANIES.
The total number transacting business remains the same as
last year; viz., thirteen, with assets including trust funds o f
$67,603,464.02, — a gain for the year o f $4,621,828.20.
These trust companies continue to grow in financial strength,
standing and value as State banking institutions.
They also
occupy a very high and important position as a medium for
transacting matters incidental to a banking business, and o f such
a range, diversity and importance as to give them high rank
throughout the country.
W ith the present year closes their right to engage in the
business o f negotiating or dealing in Western farm mortgages,
— a feature o f their business which has attracted attention,
and caused some apprehension.
Three trust companies chartered during the past two years
will commence business during the coming year, probably very
soon.

A t the commencement of the financial year, Nov. 1, 1888,
there were 66 co-operative banks, with assets o f $5,505,112.17 ;
and at the close 93 banks, with assets of $7,106,751.77, — a
growth of 27 during the year, being an increase o f nearly
fifty per cent., the largest in any one year since such institu­
tions were established.
This large increase will be looked upon with some apprehen­
sion, and may well demand careful consideration and attention.
Under the statutes, any twenty-five persons can organize and
establish one o f these institutions ; and it is therefore not sur­
prising that, under the present wave o f popularity surrounding
them, there should spring up a general desire for such banks,
and, without proper considerations, an application is imme­
diately made for a charter ; and so possibly a bank is unwisely
started, located perhaps too near a neighbor, or in a locality
where a sufficient number are already in existence.
Such instances have come to the notice o f the Board during
the phenomenal growth o f the past twelve months ; and, in
connection with other matters growing out o f this rapid growth,
we feel it necessary and incumbent upon us to call your atten­
tion to it, and recommend that proper legislation be had, look­
ing to the restriction o f these banks.
These are institutions o f great value, affording assistance and
educating the people, in many cases, to save, and build for

themselves homes which would not be accomplished in any
other way. They are practically compulsory savings banks,
and to some furnish or rather supply the necessary intellectual
effort to accumulate, thus aiding to carry out the idea o f helping
people to help themselves.
The policy o f our Commonwealth in establishing and restrict­
ing savings banks should be exemplified in its relation to the
co-operative banks, as they are closely allied.
Another matter requiring legislation is the supervision,
restriction or prevention o f foreign chartered companies trans­
acting a business in this Commonwealth similar to that o f the
co-operative banks. Legislation affecting such companies was
had last year, but was ineffectual.
Chapter 452, Acts o f 1889, is as follows : —
Ax A ct

relative to the carrying on of the business of savings and

M EN T A N D TRU ST BUSINESS.

Be it enacted, etc., as follow s:
Section 1. No person or corporation shall carry on the business of receiv­
ing deposits under the name of a savings bank or institution for savings1,
and no person or corporation shall carry on the business of accumulating
the savings of its members and loaning to them such accumulations under
the name of a co-operative bank within this Commonwealth, unless incor­
porated under the laws thereof for such purpose; but this section shall not
prevent such a bank or institution, incorporated under the laws of another
state, from loaning money upon mortgages of real estate located within
this Commonwealth.
Sect . 2. No person and no corporation established under the laws of
another state or country shall carry on a banking, mortgage loan and
investment or trust business within this Commonwealth in or under a name
previously to his or its carrying on the same in lawful use by a corporation
established under the laws of this Commonwealth, or so nearly identical
with a name so in use as to mislead.
Sect. 3. Whoever violates any provision of the preceding sections shall
be punished by a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars ; and any provi­
sion thereof may on petition be enforced by injunction issued by a justice
of the supreme judicial court or of the superior court. [Approved June 7,
1889.

The evident intent o f the maker o f this law was to prevent
such corporations transacting business in this Commonwealth ;
but it did not accomplish that result. Under this law such
companies can do business in this Commonwealth, provided the

word “ co-operative” or “ savings” is not a part of their cor­
porate name. Their manner o f business is not affected at all.
W e recommend, in order to make this law effectual, that the
words “ or in the manner,” be inserted after the word “ name ”
in the second line o f section one, also after the word “ nam e”
in the fifth line o f the same section.

LOAN COMPANIES.
But two companies chartered for the purpose o f loaning
money on pawn are transacting business; viz., The Collateral
Loan Company and The W orkingm en’s Loan Association, both
located in the city o f Boston. Each has in its charter a pro­
vision requiring the appointment o f a State and city director,
the duties o f which, as far as this Board is aware, are not
prescribed either by statute or by-law o f the company or
association.
In view o f the fact that one o f these companies is required
under certain circumstances to distribute a part o f its gains, or,
as expressed in its charter, “ to be doled in fuel to the needy,”
which requirement does not appear to have been complied
with, it would seem proper that the State director should make
a report yearly, in relation to the company with which he is
connected. Evidently it was the purpose o f the law to provide
for a measure o f State co-operation through its State director;
therefore in some way it should be made manifest and o f value.

CONCLUSION,
The published annual report o f this Board is now quite large
and cumbersome, and increasing rapidly in size each year,
owing to the increase in number o f the institutions under the
supervision o f this Board. For the convenience o f all parties
interested, we recommend that hereafter the portion relating to
co-operative banks be published separately, and such edition
be limited to one thousand five hundred copies.
During the year it has been necessary upon several occasions
to consult the law department o f the Commonwealth, and the
Board desires to express its obligation to the attorney-general
and his assistants for valuable counsel and advice.
In the appendix will be found the statutes covering savings
banks, co-operative banks, trust companies and mortgage-loan
and investment companies, corrected and compiled to date.
