LARGER POSTAL SAVINGS
DEPOSITS NOW ACCEPTED
Larger postal savings depgsits will
now he accepted at the post office.
This is made possible by an impor
{ant amendment to the Posial Savings
Act just approved by President Wil
son. A postal savings depositor may
now have an account amounting to
sl,oo¢ upen which interest wlil be
paid. TFormerly $5600 was the maxi
mum amount he could have to his
credit. This enlargement of postal
savings facilities will be very grati
fying to thousands of depositors who
have already reached the old $5OO lim
it and are anxious to entrust mere
of their savings to Uncle Sam
Another feature of the amendmeit
that will avoid further embarassment
to the public and to postal official is
the doing away with the limit on the
amount that could be accepted from
a depositor monthly Under the old
law SIOC could be deposited ina calen
dar month The amendment abolishes
this restriction While the Postal
Savings system has already proved a
signal success as is shown by the fact
that more than half-a-miliion deposi
tors have over eighty million dohlars
standing to their credit.
