Times have changed in banking
methods, as every old citizen will tell
one When the first banks in the city
were formed they were for the purpose
of receiving deposits in much the
same manner that the national banks
now do, and the security was then not
nearly so great as at present. There
would have to be around on that day if
he had any paper that he wanted dis
counted. Then it was by a full vote
of the directors who had a secret ballot
and one black ball would stop the dis
count. The range of the investments
in those days was not limited as now
and in consequence in search for larg
er rates of interest they often went in
to investments that were not safe, and
thus the depositors' money was not so
secure Each bank issued bills then
that they caused their depositors to
use. 1t was probably not before 1SiS,
when the Augusta Savings Bank was
formed that any Augusta depositor
ever had interest paid on his deposits.
Did the Augusta banks take any
active part in the assistance of the
country at the time of the Civil War;"
asked the Journal, the other day, of an
old banking official
None particularly, though they
were prompt in response to the issue
of bonds, and the late George Potter of
Augusta, was the first through the
Granite National Bank to subscribe for
bonds in Augusta.a
First and last the city has been ex-
tremely prominent in the history of
the banking Of Maine.

that the Hallowell and Augusta Bank

banking institution on the kennebec,
and the fifth in the district of Maine.
Portland had two banks at that time,
the oldest of which was but five years.
Saco had one, while the fourth was at
Wiscasset known as the Lincoln and
Kennebec Bank, which was incor-
porated for the accommodation of the
people of Lincoln and Kennebec coun-
ties. In this latter bank James
