annual examination of the Saco Saw
ings bank. This is the beginning of
| the annual examinations for 1914, ana
for the next six months Mr.. Timberlake,
and his assistant Mr.. Ellis. will be busy
| in various parts of the State examining
| the condition of our banking institu-
tions. There are 81 savings banks, 80
| loan and building associations. and %
trust companies for them to visit; 100
! institutions in all. The preparations
of all the examination papers and the
work of visiting the banks and going
! over their books and documents in
! wolves great amount of time and Ia
Dor. as well as many trips to every sec
ton of the State. Papers have already
loan and building associations and %
; been prepared for the examination of
several other banks, which will be Wis
/ tied in the near future. The banks are
never visited one year at exactly the
same time that they were visited the
| year before, and in no instance does an
| institution know when to expect the
| examiner.

3ioffice of the State assessors have arrived
Hand are being put in place. These
4 cases are placed against the north wall
of the room. and are is feet long by 8
feet tall. They will give much more
room for filing the documents than
Twas possible under the old arrangement,
and also afford greater security. They
We're manufactured by the Office, Bank
& Library Co, Boston. The three
wooden cases, which have hitherto been
in the assessors room, have been re-
moved to the Office of the State land
Iagcnt. where they will be used in place
of the cases which have been in that
room so long. The new cases are made
of oak and so match the rest of the
furnishings in the land office. while the
old ones. which are now taken out AMI
stored in the basement, were of mat
hogany. The change is a good one for
tho land office as we'll rs for the Stat2
room is provided and the appearance
of the offices improved.
