For Postal Savings Banks.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.—Postmaster General Gary is devoting considerable attention these days to an investigation of the wisdom of establishing postal savings banks. When in the last congress a bill was sent to him providing for such institutions he declined to indorse it, because, as he said, he had not had an opportunity to investigate the subject. He has since taken up the matter, reading all the literature bearing upon it he could procure and seeking opportunity to discuss its merits with those familiar with it. The result is that he has become convinced of the wisdom and the utility of postal savings institutions and has decided to have a bill prepared providing for their establishment and to recommend its passage by congress. He has not yet decided upon the details of the plan, but will soon give his attention to them.
