The bank examiners have just COM
plted their annual inspection OF the
Savings Bangs, Turst Companies ana
LaGn and Building Associations Of the
State. Hon. F. E. Timberlake stated,
yesterday, that there were 81 Savings
Banks, 35 Loan and Building Asso-
Citations and % Trust Companies in the
State, making total of 109. Ihese
have a total of assets amounting 10
more than s100,OO0,000. These figures
are significant in number of ways.
In the first place, they stand 1or the
vast amount of banking business car
ried on by private institutions in the lit
tie State of Maine, popularity supposed
to be all tall timber. Secondly, the fig
ures give some idea Of the amount OF
wark which the bank examiners nave
to do every year. The law requires
them to visit each institution at least
once, every year. and number OF them
have to be visited several times. The
total assets, which are set at over $780,
OK, 900, are not estimated assets. but
every separate item from cents to
thousand dollar checks and deposits,
have been personally investigated by
the examiners 1t is quite impossible
tc arrange any definite schedule in
visiting the different institutions, but
the officials must go whenever occasion
demands.
A petition was received at the Execu-
tive department, yesterday. asking for
the pardon of John Miller, Jr., of Calais,
who is serving time in the Washington
county Jail at Macnias, for selling
liqlor. The petitioners, who include
Mayor Johnson and several members of
the Calais city government, aver that
Miller is the father of II children who
are motharless and whose sole support
he is, and who will. if he remains in
JAIL be subjects for charity. The petit
toners, on their plea for Executive
clernency, say they are satisfied that
Miller viii never again engage in the
| ;ilcgal liquor business.
