The foregoing statement indicates an increase in deposits of
$15,933,418.30, nearly five millions less than in 1890; this
difference can, without doubt, be largely accounted for by invest­
ments made in the bond investment companies and similar
concerns which have proved to be merely schemes for preying
upon the incredulous. W hile all o f the five millions o f dollars
may not have been directly invested in the companies referred
to, the decrease can be properly attributed to that cause, owing
to the fact that during the excitement and height o f interest
in these companies, investors placed more o f their earnings
therein than they could afford; they were therefore called upon
later to draw from their deposits in savings banks to meet
ordinary family expenses.
Our position relative to the investments in the bond com­
panies is substantiated by the fact that the average deposit for
this year has increased $7.88, clearly indicating a diverting o f
the amount usually deposited by the small depositors into other
channels, hence the increase o f general average.
The average withdrawal is decreased, and the fair inference
is for reasons arising from the same cause.
The further fact appears that in the year 1890 the number o f
deposits made was 1,060,877 ; in 1891, 968,750, a decrease o f
92,127.
The number o f withdrawals in 1890 was 725,751 ; in 1891,
805,197, an increase o f 79,446; these large variations in the
number o f transactions (such a less number o f deposits and
such a vast increase in the number o f withdrawals) establishes
beyond question that the small depositors o f our savings banks
have been the sufferers from the bond investment companies
and short term orders.
An interesting fact in connection with this subject is shown
by the following comparative statement which was submitted to
the House o f Representatives o f 1891.
[C o p t .]
B oston , Feb. 5, 1891.

Speaker o f the House o f Representatives.

S i r :— In obedience to the order o f the House o f Representatives,
adopted January 30, instructing this Board to report at once as to
whether there has been any falling off in savings banks deposits in
this State since Oct. 31, 1890, as compared with the corresponding

period of the previous year, we have the honor to submit the follow­
ing report:—
Of the one hundred and seventy-nine savings banks and institu­
tions for savings in this Commonwealth, two have recently commenced
business, and three were under injunction of the supreme judicial
court, restraining them from either receiving or paying deposits dur­
ing a part of the period covered by the order, hence preventing any
comparison being made in these particular institutions.
This Board not having the information desired at its immediate
command, blanks were prepared and forwarded the same day to the
one hundred and seventy-four remaining banks, and from the returns
of one hundred and seventy-one is prepared the following table : —

Amount deposited Nov. 1, 1890, to Jan. 31, 1891, .
Amount deposited Nov. 1, 1889, to Jan. 31, 1890, .
An increase in amount deposited of

.

$2,253,870 88

From these figures it will be seen that there has been a falling off
of $1,821,794.05 from Nov. 1, 1890, to Jan. 31, 1891, as compared
with the corresponding period of the previous year.
The three banks not reporting are small, their entire deposits not
aggregating $600,000 ; and, as their reports would not materially
affect the general result, it was deemed best to submit the report
without further delay.
Respectfully submitted,
(Signed)

The largest increase in any one particular line o f investments
is in that o f loans on real estate, amounting to $10,374,119.06,
— seven and one-fourth per cent.
The year’s observations o f the members o f the Board lead
them to call attention to, and further emphasize, their views
expressed on this subject in their report o f last year, that in

cases where the loans have been made upon property at a dis­
tance from the place in which the bank is located, and have
been obtained through the efforts o f agents or brokers who are
actuated more from personal interest than in the secure invest­
ment o f a bank’s funds, loss is very liable to result, as has been
instanced the past year.
Too much care cannot be bestowed in the examination ot
loans made upon real estate distant from the vicinity of the
bank making the same. Frequently it occurs in such cases
that but one member o f the investing committee actually
views the p rop erty; the other members o f the committee,
relying upon his judgment, join in certifying to the value of
the premises ; while this practice can hardly be considered a
violation o f the law, it plainly is not in accordance with the
intent thereof, wherein it is provided that “ no loan on mort­
gage shall be made except upon the report o f not less than two
members o f the board o f investment, who shall certify to the
value o f the premises to be mortgaged, according to their best
judgment. . . .”
An increase slightly exceeding two millions o f dollars appears
in what is termed quick assets ; this noticeable and gratifying
increase accords with the suggestions made in our last report.
It will be observed that the cash reserve is increased this
year by $1,277,839.92; last year a decrease was shown o f
$1,763,442.67.
The cash reserve is three per oent. o f the liabilities.
The cash reserve and quick assets is twenty-four per cent,
o f the liabilities.
The loans on personal security have decreased the past year
$1,143,891.54 ; last year they increased $10,471,474.03. This
seeming change in the views o f the management o f our savings
institutions as regards personal loans is to be commended, for
the tendency in previous years has been to enlarge in this line,
assuming thereby, in some Cases, business or commercial risks,
which cannot be considered as the intent o f the statutes, or
looked upon as the wisest choice o f investment for trust funds ;
the views o f this Board, so frequently expressed on this
point in our reports and elsewhere, lead us to refrain from
further comment, other than to state our gratification upon
the results noted.

Stockbridge Savings Bank.
This bank was placed in the receivers’ hands April 10, 1891,
and its liabilities are being liquidated.
A dividend o f 33^ per cent., amounting to $101,052.87, was
allowed by the Supreme Judicial Court July 28, 1891, and o f
this amount all but $3,585.49 has been paid.
A further divi­
dend should, and it is expected soon will, be ordered and paid.
I he loans on real estate made by this bank, some o f them
on farms somewhat remote from business centres, are very slow
of collection, and will without doubt delay the final settlement
of the bank’s affairs. Such loans cannot judiciously, and ought
not to, be forced on the market, for the result would be greatly
to the disadvantage of bank, borrower and community ; how­
ever, no unreasonable time should elapse before payment or
collection o f these loans is made. Included in the following
statement is the discrepancy in the accounts o f the late treas­
urer, all the insecure loans, and losses sustained by the bank,
which cannot properly be deducted from the assets till the full
amount is ascertained, and which unquestionably will be in
excess o f the amount estimated by this Board at the time o f
the injunction.

The Suffolk Trust Company was placed in the hands o f a re­
ceiver Sept. 3, 1891.
This is the -first instance o f the insolvency o f a trust company
in this Commonwealth. These institutions have, under their
excellent management, been very prosperous except in this
instance. They sustain a high position in the financial com­
munity, both locally and outside the limits o f this Common­
wealth, and it is very much to be regretted that an interruption
o f the record made by them now appears. The Suffolk Trust
Company, originally incorporated as the Suffolk Trust and In­
vestment Company, was started for the purpose of negotiating
and guaranteeing mortgage loans on farms at the W est, and had
sold and guaranteed such loans to the amount o f about $575,000.
Chapter 342 o f the Acts o f 1889 prohibited safe deposit and
trust companies from transacting such business, and this com­
pany therefore discontinued that branch, and engaged in com­
mercial banking, as it»has proved, with disastrous results. A
change in the management o f the company was made about
Jan. 1, 1890, and it enlarged its banking department, increas­
ing its deposits and consequently its loans. The officers o f
the company claimed that all these loans were good, but they
attracted the attention o f this Board, and, in its opinion, many
of them seemed insecure ; close scrutiny was given to them,
and the company wras carefully watched and examined. It was
noticed that the condition o f the company was continually
growing worse. W e desired to close up its affairs, but found,
upon investigation, that we had not sufficient authority so to
do. Notwithstanding its capital was impaired, it was not in
such a condition that it could be legally considered insolvent.
W e had many and frequent interviews with its president and
management, and urged a restoration o f its capital stock (we
not having power to levy an assessment for that purpose),
which they finally agreed should be done. Pending nego­
tiations and during the time allotted, we discovered that its
managing officers were selling their stock and resigning their
several positions as officers and directors in direct violation o f a
supposed understanding, W e immediately made another thor­
ough examination o f the affairs o f the company, and though

upon the face o f the accounts the company appeared to be sol­
vent, the Board still adhered to its opinion as to the insecurity
o f the loans, and, “ believing its farther proceeding to be hazard­
ous to the public and those having funds in its custody,” decided
to apply to the Supreme Judicial Court to issue an injunction
restraining the corporation from further proceeding with its
business, and for the appointment o f a receiver ; and on confer­
ence with the new management, they acceded to the decision.
The closing o f the Suffolk Trust Company was the result o f the
loss arising from insecure loans,made through its banking depart­
ment. The loans are proving to be even worse than anticipated
by this Board, and complications necessarily arising from the
connection o f its mortgage business with its banking depart­
ment will, without question, seriously delay the final settle­
ment o f the company’s affairs. It is the opinion o f this Board
that authority should be given it to levy an assessment upon
the stockholders o f a trust company, whenever, in its judg­
ment, the capital stock is impaired, and should be restored ; in
this way insolvency might be averted. Insolvency cannot be
determined in an instant; its approach is slow, making little
show o f progress, till unexpectedly it has full con trol; then the
end comes and a financial disaster is the result. This is par­
ticularly true o f an institution carrying on an extensive busi­
ness with a small capital, as was the case with this company,
which, having a capital o f $100,000 only, had guaranteed mort­
gages amounting to $575,000, placed on farms at the W est.
W hile these guaranteed mortgages did not precipitate the final
result, they were a factor, however, to the extent o f advances
made on coupons due, tax-titles and equities purchased, all o f
which are secured by whatever value there is in the property
held under the m ortow

The savings bank system o f the Commonwealth really com­
menced in 1816, when the Legislature chartered the “ Provi­
dent Institution for Savings in the Town o f Boston. ” Since
then, under the fostering care o f our State government, the
idea has grown and spread, so that at the present time, in­
cluding the Provident Institution for Savings, with its deposits
o f over thirty millions o f dollars, there are one hundred and
eighty savings banks and institutions for savings with combined
assets o f three hundred and ninety millions o f dollars, which,
if divided among the people o f the Commonwealth on the basis
o f the U. S. census o f 1890, would give to each and every
person $174.44.
This accumulation o f three hundred and

xvn

ninety millions o f dollars is a vast sum, and enters largely into
the construction and basis o f the financial interests o f our
Commonwealth. It is the result o f the good management o f
these institutions under the guidance and control o f our State
government, a control which has sought to keep the invest­
ments as near to absolute safety as is within its power. Every
possible safeguard has been utilized as to kind o f investments,
limit o f same, management, and the establishment o f a board
for supervision with strong powers, the expenses o f which are
borne by the Commonwealth. Such has been the grand result
ot all this, that, ot the sixteen hundred and fifty millions o f dol­
lars deposited in these banks since 1816, but one-seventh o f one
per cent, has been lost from failures and discontinuances o f
banks. This is indeed a grand result, and the system, so thoroughly established, which has proved not only o f great financial
benefit in its accumulations but very beneficial as an educator,
and a system as near sate as can be established, seems now, bv
movements recently made, to be seriously endangered from
two directions : —
First, by national banks opening a savings department; and,
Second, by some o f the trust companies, incorporated by
our own Legislature, entering upon a similar business.
The attempt on the part o f any national bank in this
Commonwealth to establish as a part o f its business a
savings bank department must be looked upon as usurping a
right and privilege belonging to this Commonwealth, a right
strengthened by moral obligation and power, if not by the law.
The success o f our savings banks should not be ruthlessly
interfered with nor interrupted by a system which, though good
in itself as a commercial and banking system, is not adapted
to a savings bank system and has none o f the safeguards that
are thrown around our savings banks in regard to its invest­
ments.
A system founded and established by our Common­
wealth, or by any State government,.ought not to be lightly*
treated by the powers and privileges granted under a federal
charter. A national bank operating a savings bank depart­
ment can invest its deposits in virtually whatever its manage­
ment elects except in loans on real estate, the leading feature
o f the line o f investments o f our savings banks ; these loans are

o f great value and importance, as they retain in our own midst
the deposits o f our people in humble life, and furnish the oppor­
tunity to own their homes.
The establishment o f savings bank departments by national
banks is fraught with danger, and it is directly in opposition
to the principles o f savings banks.
A savings bank o f our
Commonwealth is limited in investments, in kind, in amount,
proportion and character, and very properly s o ; a savings
bank carried on by a national bank working under a federal
charter is virtually unlimited. This subject has attracted the
attention o f bank commissioners generally, and as a result o f
extended correspondence, a conference o f the bank commis­
sioners o f the New England States to consider this and other
subjects was held at the office o f this Board Nov. 10, 1891,
and, after a very careful and thorough discussion o f this sub­
ject, it was decided by those present to present the matter
to the various State Legislatures and to the Comptroller of
the Currency at Washington.
This Board addressed Comp­
troller E . S. Lacey on the subject Nov. 25, 1891. W e now
present the matter to your honorable body for consideration,
and, if the relations o f the Commonwealth towards the general
government permit legislation on this subject, we would suggest
the passage o f such an act as will prevent national banks here­
after engaging in such business in this Commonwealth.
A s relates to safe deposit, loan and trust companies, char­
tered by our own Commonwealth, maintaining a savings bank
department, we respectfully recommend that they be prohibited
from so doing. In the features o f investments, trust companies
are closely allied to national banks, therefore the same reasons
in this regard apply to trust companies maintaining a savings
bank department as to national banks. Some o f our trust com­
panies have recently opened a savings bank department, and
under their charters it appears legal. It seems, therefore, that
an institution established under chapter 116, Public Statutes,
the statute governing savings banks, has to conform to certain
requirements and limits ; an institution established under chap­
ter 413 o f the Acts o f 1888, the statute governing trust com­
panies, can, and does, transact the business o f a savings bank,
but without the prescribed requirements or limits. This anom-

alous position arises from the legal construction placed upon
the words “ receiving deposits.”
It was never intended, in
the preparation o f the act governing trust companies, that they
should transact the business o f receiving deposits other than in
the form and manner usual in commercial banking, as it is
commonly known in business circles.
The attempt, therefore, to establish a savings bank under the
guise o f a trust company is a strain upon words, and in direct
violation o f the intent o f the Legislature.
Advantage has been taken o f this phraseology to do a savings
bank business under the supposed authority o f a trust company
charter, in a place where the Legislature refused to grant a
charter for a second savings bank ; thus it will be seen that in
the same place there exists a savings bank, pure and simple,
governed and controlled by the statutes, limited in its invest­
ments, and conforming strictly to the system ruling our savings
banks, while near by is a similar institution, but under another
name, unlimited in its investments, and ruled only by the
opinion and judgment o f its officers, but receiving deposits in
identically the same manner as the other.
It has been a governing principle o f the statutes ruling the
management o f our savings banks that business or commercial
risks should be entirely eliminated therefrom. The fact o f a
trust company maintaining a savings bank department, which,
by the nature o f its charter, takes all business risks, is really
that o f a savings bank engaging in business ventures.
It seems to this Board that to allow a system o f savings
banks to become established, though under the guise o f a trust
company, is striking such a dangerous, if not disastrous, blow
at the fundamental principle o f the savings bank system, that it
merits immediate attention and correction.
The remedy hoped to be obtained in the national bank
system must certainly be first commenced at home with the
companies receiving their powers and privileges from our
Commonwealth, otherwise we have no standing before the fed­
eral government.
W e respectfully urge your careful consideration o f this sub­
ject, and feel confident that it will commend itself to you as one
demanding attention.
