Shaw Urges Savings Bank for District Clerks 4 Percent Interest
Secretary Shaw forges a plan to create a Department Savings Bank for government clerks to foster frugality, offering 4 percent interest and opposing an annuity. He cites 17,000 workers earning $900+ annually and argues savings depend on access to reliable banking within Washington. He proposes a mutual bank run by department reps and top local businessmen, supervised by the Comptroller of the Currency, to build competencies and self reliance without government funding a banking operation.
