Increases have been noted, also, in other forms of sav ings -- Government bonds, sav ings and loan shares and the like. The savings trend appears to l#? national in scope, m vary ing degrees, It is In progress In most parts of the country, the reports from the Federal Reserve and from other sources show. The effect Is that the American people have l>een salting away some $26 billion a year for the last two years and are now sitting pretty with a record $314 billion In liquid assets in iheir4hands. In Franklin County, as In other communities, the amount that people are able to save depends on their income. .Those with very small earnings can put aside little or nothing. On the average, it found, families with after-tax Incomes 5f $5,500 save 5.4 percent .of it, those with $7,000 nearly i.O percent, those with $10,500 i bout 16 percent and so on. How much have Franklin bounty families' been saving? On the basis of their average llsposable income of $3,674 per lojjsehold, as reported In the ast buying power survey; at he rate of 3.2 percent. It amounted to savings of ap proximately '$1 18 per family n the year. Assumed is that he local pattern of saving, for ach incora^ group, conforms /1th the national. For the community as a whole, he grand total for the year is st i mated at $824,00(0. For banks throughout Frank- . in County, the Federal Reserve eports that time deposits, fia'de up mostly of personal avings, rose' from $3,781,000 D $4,459,990 in the two years nding, June 1962. Various explanations are ad anced to account for all this irift? One is the fact that in omes, In most Instances, have one up and, therefore, more loney can be put aside. Anpther is that thrift institu lons are paying higher interest ates. As a result, they have een siphoning off funds that ere once in the stock market.
