The Grangers' Bank Issues Per.
emptory Orders to Its
Customers.
COIN WANTED FOR DEP0sIT0Rs.
The Bank Commissioners Have Re
jected $500, 900 More in Doubtful
Securities.

The losses to be sustained by the stock
holders of the defunct Changers Bank
may exceed materially the former estimate
of a quarter of million dollars. The
Bank Commissioners are busily engaged
in listing and appraising the securities
held by the corporation, and although this
work has been by no means completed
they have in the ten days which have
elapsed since the suspension found it nec-
essary to write off the books of the bank
over 100000 of practically valueiess as
sets. This amount, together with the
$4,000 written off prior to suspension,
makes big hole in the $1,200,000 of nom-
inal assets.
The bank has upon It's books $500 900 in
overdrafts, OF which, roughly speaking,
one-half are valueless. Under instructions
from the Bank Commissioners the direc-
tors have called in all overdrafts, sending
out peremptory letters requiring immedi-
ate settlement of these accounts or their
securing by means of negotiable securities.
From these letters replies are already be-
ginning to come in, and it is thought that
within week or two weeks at most there
WILDE sufficient coin in the vaults to pay
off the depositors in full. As soon as such
is the case the DanK QOOrS Will reopen 1Or
that purpose.
The annual meeting of the stockholders
of the bank will be held on the 14th prox.
It was the original intention of the direc-
tors to submit at that time proposition
looking toward liquidation, but the pre-
cipitation Of a suspension modities the sit
uation so that the principal question now
to be determined relates merely to meth
DDS and to the length OF time 10 be con-
sumed in liouiOation
Bank Commissioner Paris Kilburn de-
cliued yesterday to give any opinion as to
the ultimate amount which the stockhold-
ers would lose. "The assets are of such q
character" he said, "that if a settlement
were to be forced the loss would be enor-
nous. The law, however, allows in any
case four years for liquidation, and then,
when the depositors have been paid, the
bank becomes just like any other corpora
ton. The remaining assets belong to the
stockholders and they can hold them as
long as they please, or realize upon them
as fast as they may"
On the street the opinion is openly ex-
unnecessary and was in fact an act of
cowardice upon the part OF the directorate.
Ii is learned, however, that the officials of
the bank, fearing run on the day they
closed their doors, attempted to secure
from other banks coin enough to pay their
depositors in full In case such a run was
made, and that they were unable to secure
such assistance on account of the mixed
quality of their securities. The total sum
due depositors is $143 900.

Colusa Site Stone Is in the Lead, but Brick
and Terra-Cotta May Be Chosen.
The Harbor Commissioners held another
meeting yesterday, but did not succeed in
accomplishing anything, and they are
now as far from decision as when the
question OF material for the ferry building
first came up. Chief Engineer Holmes,
Consulting Architect Percy, Contractor
Mccarthy and the representative of A.
Page Brown were present, but, instead of
throwing any light on the subject. they
seemed to compllcate matters. Percy said
that the Arizona and Oregon stones which
he had examined in public buildings
showed signs of disintegration, and he
would not recommend either of them. In
fact, there is no stone that he knows of
that he would recommend.
A test of the various stones was sug-
gested, and Consulting Architect Percy
produced some muriatic acid and pro-
ceeded to give the various stones a bath.
All the samples that contained lime
sizzled as soon as the acid touched them,
and the others did not. The Niles blue
stone and the Colusa site stone stood the
test best. This practically threw the
Arizona and Oregon stones cus of the
fight.
Nnen contractor McCartny was ap-
pealed to in regard to the Colusa stone he
said he was in ignorance as to what could
be done in the matter. No one connected
with the company had been to see him,
and he was unable to ascertain its rates or
what the output of the quarry was.
Architect Percy was OF the opinion that
the Colusa people ought to be willing to
supply the stone at very low rate.
"Never have all classes of stone received
such thorough testing in the history of
t California" said he. ''AIl means to Sc
cure the best article are being adopted,
and should the Colusa stone be accepted it
would be worth tens of thousands of dol
lars to the company as an advertisement.
The stone was used in the erection. of
Trinity Church and for three years it has
stood well. Of course that is not long
time, but still it serves as a guide. Mind,
Mr.. President, / am not recommending
any stone. I can't conscientiously do it,
but of all the stones submitted I think the
Colusa and Sespe are the best"
In answer to q question put by President
Colnon, Mr.. Percy said the Sespe stone
was very hard to work. After little
more discussion the board adjourned until
Tuesday afternoon next, when the matter
will be finally decided
The San Francisco call., 1895-12-22

will be used, and that it will be officially
decided on the first of the week. If this is
to be the case the ferry building can't help
being a merging of the blue and gray in its
hue, just like the new Trinity Episcopal
Church on Bush street, which is built of
Colusa County sandstone.
The 'early dawn" of the Oregon gray
sandstone and the 'sunset glow" of the
Arizona red sandstone, which have been
such fierce rivals of each other and of the
inside blue of Colusa County's hills are
thus set aside and the color is settled. If
there should be any change from this prac-
tical decision on Colusa County sandstone
it will be to the yellow and red of pressed
brick and terra-cotta.
The Harbor Commissioners are sick OF
arguments and tests on building stones,
they have decided against the stones
named in the lowest bid, which they must
accept if they accept stone at all, and
having agreed that the Colusa stone is the
best stone and the only available Califor-
MIA stone, they will take that of Mr. Nc
Carthy if the Pacific Bridge Company will
use it at the figures named in his low bid.
They want him to and he wants to- It's a
question of whether he can get the stone
from the quarry people at price that will
allow him to substitute 1T for the Oregon
and Arizona stones named in his bid. He
quarry people want their stone used, the
contract is big one and the advertise
ment would be big thing for them.
Mccarthy was told yesterday to see If he
could arrange it with the owners of the
quarry, and it is thought certain that they
will let their stone go into the great struc-
ture at a price within that set for Nc
Carthy by their Oregon and Arizona rivals.
Mccarthy is even figuring on opening
quarry of his ownup there in the Colusa
County hills, for the sandstone bed runs
nearly to Red Bluff and the people owning
the quarry at Sites have no monopoly of
the stone. Mr.. Chad bourne is especially
favorable to this stone and Commissioners
Colron and Cole want to use it if they
can. Mr.. McCarthy's ability to get it
about as cheaply as stone from quarries
hundreds of miles further away is the only
thing that makes the decision stated con-
ditional.
If it should turn out next week that we
can't get sandstone from our own State as
cheaply as from Arizona and Oregon the
Harbor Commissioners will settle tn ings
by accepting McCarthy's bid Of $l6S, 600
on brick and terra Gotta, to which Com
missioners Colnon and Cole are quite
favorable anyway. That is the net result
of all the discussion over the m aterial for
the new ferry building and of what was
done in the executive meeting of the Har-
bor Commissioners yesterday and out of 1t.
Brick and terra Gotta will cost $62, 900
ceptable stone. They make a handsome
structure and are more enduring than
stone, because it will resist all disintegrat-
ing influences much longer.
But the Commissioners and the archi-
tects naturally want to use stone if possi-
BILE, because 1t gives more imposing and
monumental appearance and feeling to .
