Grafton of the state bank commission
ers and action will not be taken for
30 days. After consolidation bust
ness will'tbe, continued for q time in

Later, after alterations and improve
ments have been made in the Warren
block, the corporation will remove
to that location. The affairs of the
Savings Bank of Stafford Springs are
in apple pie order, and the institu-
tion could pay dollar for dollar of its
liabilities. The addition of its bust
ness to that of the Stafford Savings
bank will make the amalgamated con-
Germ one of the strongest in the state.

two institutions, as we'll as of the
names of the treasurers, has led to
more or less confusion, which will be
avoided in future. A word about the
history of the Savings Bank of Stat
ford Springs is not amiss at this time.
