SAYS' PROVINCIAL BANK ' ON PAYING BASIS Replying to recent criticism fo the effect. that the government savings hank expenditures' were $1.11,510, and that total deposits amounted to $3,-- 863,00, as at December 31, 1922, and therefore that the coat of deposits is too high, Mr. M. E McKenzie, di- rector, states:- "No mention is made of the amount included in the $111,510 representing capital exn endttuie re- quired in the establishing of fourteen. branch offices and no mehtion is made as to the earning power of the funds on deposit. These two items taken into conaideration materially reduce operating expenses. Surely equipment must be considered as hav- ing some value. It' is indeed ' misleading to the public to flatly state that $111,51d is too exs'essive a cost to secure a de- posit of $3,863,040. If such were the case the statement would be quite justifiable; On the contrary the state- ment can only be labelled as in itself absurd." . - The savings bank, with - approxi- mately $6,000,000 on deposit at date, Mr. McKenzie states, is practically on a paying basis, and when it is taken into consideraton that this bank has been open' to the public less than a year, the progress made is without precedent, "The batik must pay its own way and will stand on its own legs. Public enterprises should be - given fair and constructive criticism. That the provincial bank has made unprecedented progress and that it will be self-sustaining is proven be- yond a doubt. Of course, it surely is not expected' to pay its entire equipment, etc., froin its first year's earnings." - ST. COLUMBAN. Unfortunate Accident. --Much re- gret is expressed at an unfortunate accident to Frank McGrath, the four- teen -year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Patrick McGrath, of this place. It appears that while the hired man was forking back straw in the mow the boy carne up behind him and was struck in the eye by the prong of the fork and has been in partly uncon- scious condition since with small of hope of recovery. On Saturday he was able to talk to his afflicted par- ents but. since has been in a state of coma. The St. Columban Literary Socie- ty postponed their entertainment ow- ing to sympathy for one of their members. �cu�Mcc�*>G�I alft t re Always there is a call for some little gift, something by way of remembrance, or some- thing to express good will, or some of the many occasions for '! making a suitable gift.
