The Bank Of Washington was chartered by
Congress by act approved February IS, 1911 which
act has been subsequently amended by the fol.
lowing acts: Act Of May Z, 1870; March 9, is2t;
February ., 1880; July 4 1850; May ~, lS3S; July

July I, isli, since which time Its business has
been conducted by a board Of trustees, under
the same name and title, which trustees were
elected ut general meeting Of share holders
held June 20, lsiI. Vacancies In the board Of
trustees were subsequently tllled by two Of the
surviving trustees, by virtue Of a decree Ia
equity, No. 1881, dated February 9, 1859, made by
the supreme Court OF the District Of Columbia
