year ago, and which had been paid IN
fun. was burned, thus destroying the
last vestige of Indebtedness of the in
stitutiOn.
Reviewing the suspension of the bank
and the settlement of its debts by the
receiver Mr., Masters showed that the
stockholders had lost less than 500 IN
had debts. and that their only other
loss. which was not large, was IN cost
Of receivership and depreciation in fUC-
nitrrs and fixtures. It was shown that
within thirty days after suspension
every depoSitor was paid IN fun, to the
amount of sI1S0OO, and fl ninety days
the receivership was closed up. The
banks capital was 100000 OF this
amount there was $500 in the safe
when the bank closed, AMI its stock at
that time was selling for Sl35 to $50
From this source the clDsing OF the bank
caused a loss in stock values to stock
holders Of about S42 000. The Comptroller
of the Currency, was criticised for his
hasty action in closing the bank. which
was considered ill-advised and uncailed
