THE BELFAST SAVINGS BANK. The
election Of officers of the Savings Bank at
a meeting of the cOrporatUrS last week
prompts the publication of a few facts con-
cerning this we'll known institution and
those connected with it. The Belfast Sav-
ngS Bank succeeded the Bank of Com
merce, which was Incorporated in 1854 and
closed in October, 1868, after the National
system supplanted State institutions. The
| original trustees of the Savings Bank were
Asa Faunce, John G. Brooks, William o
Poor, Charles B. Hazeltne and Nathan F.
Houston. MIR. Faunce was the president
Faunce held the Office until his death, when
he was succeeded by Mr.. Houston. Mr..
Quimby also served the bank faithfully and
well until removed by death, when he wa
| succeeded by his son, William H. Quimby,
who had been his assistant, and had pre-
viously held position in the Belfast Ma
tiOnal bank. Thus in thirty-fve years the
bank has had but two presidents and two
treasurers, and in both cases the change
was brought about by the death of the in
cumbent At the meeting of the corpora
tors April 18th the following trustees were
elected: Charles B. Hazeltine, Edward
johnson, James II. Howes, r. F. Dunton,
Arthur l. Brown. The trustees elected Of
ticers as follows: Edward johnson, presi-
dent; William II. Quimby, treasurer; Will
mer j. Dorman, assistant treasurer. Mr..
Hazeltine was one of the original trustees,
and Messrs. Dunton and Brown succeed
JOln G. Brooks and Nathan F. Houston.
Both of the retiring trustees had served as
Mayor of Belfast and Representative to the
Legislature, and both were members of the
first board of trustees, Dr.. Brooks having
served cOntinuOuslysfor the 35 years. MIR.
johnson, the new president, is a native of
this city, member of a family long identified
with the affairs of Belfast. He inherited
fortune and with it the care of large
estate which has been greatly increased in
value under his skillful management A
gentleman of leisure he has made special
study of investment securities and is ex-
ceptionally well equipped for the respon-
sible position he has assumed.
