ACC. NTS CAUSE ,OF
TROU E AND EXPENSE TO BANKS
Manager Tells of Annoyance Re-
Sulting From Small Sums Left
Forgotten For Years in the
Canadian Institutions.
Each year the Dominion Govern-
ment at Ottawa issues a list of hun-
dred; of savings accounts that have
lain neglected in Canadian banks
for a period of five years or more,
and whose owners cannot be locat-
ed. The sums involved range from a
few cents to thousands of dollars,
and their total must be computed in
millions.
These lists have the effect of re-
minding great numbers of depositors
of money that might otherwise have
been forgotten always, but despite
their wide distribution they cannot
by any means reach all for whom
they are intended. The result is that
the banks of the Dominion are col-
lectively carrying a huge amount of
anan''y that will never be claimed by
anyone, yet which must be kept an
the records side by side with live ac-
counts, ready to be paid out at de-
mand.
The labor and expense connected
with the keeping of the accounts,
which are large in the aggregate but
surprisingly small in the average, is
a wastage which •with the passing of
the years may easily attain formid-
able proportions. It may cost an in-
dividual bank several dollars a year
to carry such an account amounting
to only three cents, when one con-
siders the interest that must be com-
puted at regular intervals and the
efforts which must be made to locate
the owner, who may have died or
moved to the farthest corner of the
earth.
"Few persons have any idea of
show many people pay any attention
to small savings accounts, and finally
forget thein altogether when they
have nursed out of reach of the bank
carrying 'them.," said a bank manager
to the writer, "They consider any-
thing from a few cents to $10 a shall
matter, not realizing the importance
such an item may have n the affairs
of the bank.
"Each years this bank adds a few
such accotnits to a list that stretches
,back over a long period of time,
There may be 10 accounts amount-
ing, all told, to $50, and it may cost
the bank just that much eacch year
Lenrasconameomaconareannamosem
a,t
to handle them.
"The Bank Act provides that dur-
ing each January notices must be
r sent by registered mail to all cus-
tomes whose accounts have not
changed in status during the preced-
- ing two years, and also to 'chose
whose accounts have been neglected
five years. -If the second notice does
pot bring results, the names of the
depositors, their last known address,
and' the amounts recorded in 'their
favor are sent to the government at
Ottawa for publication in the Blue
Books.
"Before the final list is compiled
the bank is required to make every
reasonable effort to got in touch with
the persons concerned.
"In connection with the govern-
stent lists there'was, sone years ago,
a 'racket' which has not yet disap-
pear. Many shyster lawyers and
private individuals read the lists care-
fully and made attempts to get in
touch with the persons whose names
appeared. When such a person was
found, he was told that he would be
put in the way of recovering a sum
of money he had lost in consideration
of a commisison that often amounted
to 25 or 50 per cent of the total.
Many fat commissions were realized
in this manner, and although the pra-
ctice 'never received public approval
it is certain it resulted in the wiping
out of many accounts that would
otherwise have been carried needless-
ly forever.”
Carelessness is responsible for
mos'c lost savings accounts, althinigh
occasionally the death of a man who
has no relatives leaves a sizeable
sum of money without an owner.
Many men and women of consider-
able wealth brut little prominenee
have accounts known to none but
themselves, and when their estate
is settled after their death these may
be overlooked.
The bank is forced. under the law
to keep records of these accounts
perpetually up-to-date and be pre-
pared to pay them on demand at any
time to the owner or his rightful heir.
Each year banks are called upon
to settle accounts that have been
neglected for generations, but there
are many that will never be settled
until the law provides another way
than payment to the owner.

LONGEST LOCK
A -'ALLAN
Great New Ship Canal is Nearing
Completion' --- Many Notable
Feats of Engineering Shown
Ottawa, July 23 --That the new
Welland ship camel will he completed
and ready for traffic in 1930 is evi-
dent fans the progress of work on
this great waterway, as disclosed in
a report to the Department of Rail-
ways and Camel: by the engineer. in
charge, and just made available. This
canal will. when completed, cost a
total of about $120,000,000, and no
to the end of March 31 last a total of
over $04,000,000 had been expended,
The ship canal .10 a little over 25
miles long, is virtually a straight line
and has locks capable of 30 -foot
draught vessels, and a 25 foot than.
nel which can be readily deepened to.
the 30 -foot draught. Lock No. 8, the
last on the Lake Erie end of the
canal, is one of the outstanding fea-
tures of the great undertaking. This
lock is the longest in the world, being
1,380 feet between the inner gates,
and being approached only by two
locks on the American side of the
Sault Ste. Marie, .both of which are
1,350 feet long. The construction
of this lock has been under way since
the summer of 1026, and is now
practically completed.
Another notable engineering feat
has been the construction of the
2.000 -foot breakwater at Port Col-
borne, extending hieo Lake Erie from
the end of the canal, and which was
formed by sinking reinforced con-
crete cribs on a prepared bottom and
covering them with a heavy concrete
superstructure. It is further pro-
tected by a heavy rock -embankment
clumped on the southeast side.
There remains little to be done on
the canal proper, but considerable
has to be done in structures ineiden-
.tttl to the operation of the canal. Ono
or two bridges has yet to be built,
and the supply weir which. will con-
trol the flow of water into the new
canal from Lake Erie, has yet to be
constructed.

William Lloyd Cooper, 12 -year-old
son of.Robt. Deeper, of Kippen, was
drowned while bathing here, ou Sun-
day afternoon about 6 o'clock, at
Greed Bend. Of the hundreds of
people who 'vete in the water and on
the beach at che time of the accident,
the bay's older brother was the only
one who saw hint go under. Witness-
es state that the body diel not come to
the eurfaoe until searchers succeeded
in locating it about 15 minutes after
the drowning, De. N. P. Schram and
Dr, \V, L. Denny, of London, and a
Detroit physician, who were there,
were called and worked over the body
for some time, but without suceees.
The lad had only been in the water
Por about, five minutes and was play-
ing with his brother and a lad about
his awn age, He was :some distance
from the other two boys when he dis-
appeared under the water, His broth.
er called for help and tried to lead the
others to the spot where he saw the
lad go under, but no trace of the vic-
tim could he found for some time,
When the body was found, it was in a
a11t1t where the. water NMI about font•
feet deep and some distance from
where the older boy thnnght that his
brother had disappeared. The ac-
cident ocenrred almost directly in
front of the dance pavilion, in the rep.

ough, the cases must be 'tight so as

if this becomes wet, it will lose muck
of its insulating value; therefore, it
is best to use matched lumber for
building the cases. The covers should
be made to telescope over the sides
of the case and to protect beyond
the sides for at least one inch to
shed the drip. The covers should al-
so be protected by some waterproof
roofing material. The cases must
also bre provided with a flight hole op-

These holes can be cut eight inches
long by one inch high and a revolv-
