The Other Members Of The Directorate
Opposed the Proposition.
Mr.. STURGES RENDERED RESIGNATION
Rscsni Eumcrs That Outside Parties Are En-
cearoring 10 Secure Control OF The Bank
Led 10 Offering Of The moIion.

AT the annual meeting of the stock
holders OF the Mechanics National
Bank yesterday "A furry was created
by the motion OF Howard O. Sturges TO
practically take steps To wind up the
affairs OF the bank. Upon putting the
motion TO vote 1t was buried by a to
majority. Mr.. Sturges then resigned
from the board of directors. The bank
officers declared that the institution
will be run right along.
Mr.. Sturges states that his reason for
taking this action was the fact that
there have been recent rumors that
Boston and other parties were endeav-
oring 10 secure control of this and sew
cral other local banks with a view To
making profit out of the rumored con-
solidation. He thought IL would be
more profitable 10 the local stockhold-
ers TO liquidate before the other plan
was put through.
Mr.. Sturges later stated that his pro-
posal was not that the bank take im-
mediate steps 10 go into liquidation.
but II was that the meeting adjourn for
two weeks and that I'm the interim the
cashier notify every stakeholder OF the
price at which the stock of the bank
WAS quoted on the market and of the
higher price that the stock would real
lie " the institution should 40 into liq-
uidation. Then each stockholder was to
be asked TO send proxies TO suitable
persons. authorizing them TO vote yes"
or no as To the liquidation. Mr. Stur-
ges further said that the stock of the
bank was quoted on the market at the
present time at 80 and that If the bank
went into LIQUIDATION the stock would
realize from 30 20 90 per share, decid-
ed profit TO the local holders.
The other directors present at the
meeting were Messrs. Stafford, J. H.
congdon. G. &. Harrington. II. O.. Haz-
ard. II. +. Lippitt and President James
III. Chase. In talking OF the matter. MIR.
Lippitt said that the motion was voted
down because they were not vet ready
TO consider such a proposition and be-
cause OF any way I'm which IL was
sprung upon the Meeting. 1t was pre-
scented. he said, without any previous
consultation with the management of |
the bank or the other di/s,Nors and the |
directors only got vino of il about "A /
hours previous 10 the time of the meet |
ing. Mr.. Lippitt said that he did not
know OF any movement at the present |
time TO consolidate the bank with other |
banks or 10 get Its control into the |
hands OF outside parties. He believed |
that providence had as much capital
invested in its banking interests as I
any city OF it's size in the country, but
he did not think there was any too
much such capital here. Ii was great
benefit 10 the business men of the COM |
munity TO have il here

stated, he always followed up poor milk.
But in the case Of G.. a. Field or Ar

cerning Mr.. Baxter. Neither did ne ever
