To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: While most of your readers viii reach their
own conclusions upon the defence OF the Superin
tendent OF Banks IN the Commercial Bank OF Brook
lyn case, yet the ultimate decision is with the Gov
ernor of this State. In connection with this and
while the subject of the duties OF the Superintendent
Is under consideration, call attention TO the Iiar
lem River Bank-a State institution-whch failed in
April, 1894, returning to the depositors ny TO this
date only 30 per cent OF their claims.
The newspapers of this city bear testimony OF the
statements made by the receiver that the depostors
would be paid in full. We received 10 per cent IN
February 1885 which, with 20 per cent paid in July.

postors.

amined by the superintendent his assistants what

nclency OF 20 per cent and the loss OF the whole
capital OF 100000 together with surplus and undl-
vded profits sworn TO March |. 1894, OF si5.05i?
