The commis- siouers, themselves, gay they have enough to pay @ ten per cet t. dividend to depositors, ul not enough Lo pay a dividend of twenty per cent. If they could pay a twenty per cent. dividend they would immediately declare it, but it is extremely doutfal if ine deelsration of a ten per cent. dividend would be judicious. This, they say, 1s well known to ‘all except the smaller depositors. The tank had 5,000 depositors of less than one dollar, and 15,000 of leas than five dollars, to whom a dividend ef tea per cent. would be atively nothing. Besides, wo Ae = Sivi jend to that amount, the commiss say would scarcely pay ‘the expanses of ‘col lecting by Gepositwre at distant branches, and as the expense of collecting a ten per cent. divideud is nearly as much as that of collecting one of twenty cent., a ten per cent. dividend would be slightly injadictous. Notwithstanding tw the commissioners have um consideration, on account of the bumerous demanis, the subject as to whether they «: within the law, declare a ten per cent. dividend. They also suggest to deposi- tors the propriety of making some organ- ized movement to induce Congress to pur- chase, for the use of the government, tue Freedmen’s Bank building. Tne govern- mert is now renting alarge portion of the buildin ng At Agreat rental for the use of the Department, of Justice, and it is quite prob- that Congress could be persuaded to purchase it. If such purchase should be made the commissioners could declare a dividend o! over twenty-five per cent.
