new BANK SITE.
Will Probably Be Decided Upon at
Meeting Monday Night-The Fair
Store, on North Main Street, the
Most Favorably Considered.

The stockholders of the new bank

Will meet Monday for reorganiza tion.
Officers and "a board of directors will
be elected. IL name will be decided upon
cnd everything will be perfected so
that the application for the cllarter-c can
DC advertised at once.
Az important matter that will most
likely be disposed of, in which there
is II good deal of speculative interest
among the public, is the choice of Il
site.
Since the project took tangible shape
and It's success seemed assured. offers
OF a site came in abundance. Perhaps
q dozen have been received, nearly all
on either Main street or Salem avenue.
The one, however, which seems to meet
with the greatest favor is the place
Whereon is located Whites Boston

just above the Miners and Mechanics
bank. 1t is very desirably located. in
the heart of the business district and,
besides q good frontage, the lot is
more than ordinarily deep, running
back to- the river. Possession, it is
said, could be obtained at once. The
indications point to the selection OF
this site.
