street and leasing the largj and eoßuaodioma building built for the ld nffalo bank and owned byi)r j p wlae the busmen of the bank wu oon tinusd in theae premises for ten yean and tnt it was removed to the present build ing august ist 1867 for several yean previous the large increase of basinets and m prosperity of the bank had forced upo3 the trustee the necessity of building abs jking house which would amply pro videvor its increasing business and at the aamw time give to the bank an edit ice which would be an ornament to the city sev eral sites were considered and one purchas edjfor the puapose this was finally ex changed for the lot now occupied by this building and the work of construction was commenced in the tf ing of 1566 the trustees can point with just pride to this building w one of the finest and movt expensive in the city and situated upon one of the most commanding of its business lots it is in the heart of the businessof the city onits greatest thorough fare accessible from all directions ottering every facility for the transaction of it bus iness and containing every material ele ment of safety for the large amount of funds and property intrusted to its keep ing the results of science and experience in the construction of vaults and safes hare ail been brought into service in providing the means and space for all its prospective business and the safety of its assets the expense to the institution has been very iarge but is justified by its relations to the i>u"lic and tbe condition of its avsilable fund the large accumulation of surplus profits to tbe bank is a subject which requires aosgo explanation the theory and prac tee of the banks is to pay deposi tor j a regular interest of » \ per cent which receiving upon all its loan the legal ntertfat of 7 per cent the differ ence of rate is the resource of the bank to pay its current expenses but the state of the country for the past six years ha en abled the bank to realize a much greater income from its investments the war which broke out in iihji compelled the gov ernment to issue large amounts of govern ment bonds the interest of which was pay able in gold the bank under the authority of the charter proceeded to invest in theie bond which it tv compelled to uo to a • • >-. it of the large amount of deposits which ■oegao to accumulate in 1862 and continued , during the war these bonds were taken at sar in currency while the annual i nter sat was regularly paid in gold — this exception state oi things largely increased the surplus of the bank while fultiaing eveiy obligation to the depos : it it was from this source that he meana were derived which enabled the ank to purchase the land and build and iurn sh its elegant banking house this auiir of special accumulation wi'l vi witfe tbe resumption of specie payment whe i the resource of the bank will be from the egular working of the savings bank syst tii as it is the banking houso is the property of the bank and in itself a la _

5,000,00 while the executive duties devolve upon our chief officers it is upon our judgment and discretion that the tafe investment of this large amount chiefly depends by the charter of the
