THAT BANK JOLLIFICATION

DECLARED NOT TO HAVE BEEN PAID FOR OUT

In tho statement published in yesterdays HERALD
from Superintendent Lamb, of the Banking Depart

mismanagement of somo of the savings banks in
the state, Mr.. Lamb makes the following criticism
upon the officers of bank for savings in this city,

When this paragraph was shown to Mr. Charles

did not think that strict Interpretation or the law
allowed tho directors of a bank to spend its de-
postors' money in this way II regarded the giving

at 10 the bank and that therefore, tho spending Of
the money was OF advantage. But agree with Mr..
Lamb. The officers have no right to spond any OF
tho surplus OF u savings bank for such purposes.
HOW III WAS PAID FoR.
''Thcn why was 1t permttody asked tho reporter.
"well," replied Mr. Bailey, hcsitating as though
he were about to make very damaging admission,
"betwcen you and me. the entertainment was not
paid tor from tho surplus. In fact, may rs well
tell you that paid for II myself"
"Ohl" said the reporter
After further questioning Mr.. Bailey admitted
that tho Qualification cost $3.50, that no gave his
personal check to the socreary of tho bank for vO
to pay for it, and that that al there was of tho
matter. He did not know that the othor directors
were all of his way OF thinking on this question.
Mr.. Bailey desired to correct another mistake Of
Mr.. Lambs. The.assortion that the bank has only
paid seventy per cent of its indebtedness IL not
true, he says 1t has paid sovontyhvo per cont and
will pay ninety per cent. in the opinion of MIR.

only as eleven other savings institutions In this city
did and from tho same causos-vz., tho financial
panic, tho great fire aud the sudden depression In
business. Moreover, whom 1t suspended Mr.. Bailey
thought the bank able to pay every cent OF its
liabilities ana this would have been the but for
tho continued depression OF real estate. At all
events said tho gentleman the Bond Street Bank do
positors are better OF than any Of the others.
