UrA petition has been pending be
lore the General Assembly for year or
more, Tor Charter for Bank 10 be To-
Gated on Block Island. The petitioners,
the nal men in the matter, we be-
lievc are residents Of the Island but
the real parties IN interest are probably
operators and specula ors in Wall street.
New York, and others in Connecticut
The petitioners ask for Bank with a
capital OF S50,000, witt. power 10
increase the same TO So 0.000. Every
one must be aware that there Is no pos
sible necessity lol Bank on that lonely
and desolato Isle Of the eea, for the peo-
pie are ali engaged either in agriculture
or fishing, the profits OF the business
which the people Of that Island would
transact at a Bank, would not pay the
rent Of the Bank building, low as it
nigh, be there. 1s49 the valuation
OF the real aud personal estate on the
Island was only $4,000; and ye, these
petitioners ask Tor power to increase the
capital 10 $500 000-$30,00n above the
total valuation oi property there. There
is evidently something wrong about this
matter and II should be looked to in
season. II this is not mysterious spec
uIating operation on the part ot ou,sid.
ers, sharp-shooters &c, why is The
Bank located on Block Island Why
not have il in Westerly, il the people OF
Connecticut want to be benefited by
itl There would be just as much pro-
priety in locating Bonk on Cormorant
rock, as on Block Island rs far as any
local business is TO be transacted. What
10 the object, we ask, OF those in inter.
est b hind the curtain, in this matter .
DO they intend 10 make swindling
concern of this Bank, and delraud tic
public and have grand smash up aItcr
lew years Ii not, why locate the
Bank on Block Island, aImos, out si
humanitys reach 2
The Charter, somewhat modified, has
passsd the House, bot we trust that II
will not pass the Senate.
