IL has been rumored that the Chel-
sea Savings bank would declare div
ldeud OF 10 TO 10 per cent within few
days! When asked regarding this ru-
NOR. I, Receiver W. w. Wedemeyer
said:
There is absolutely nothing to it.
We cannot declare a dividend of any
amount within three months, accord
ing to the laws OF the state. notice
for the fling of creditors claims must
be published twelve successive weeks,
which means thirteen weeks before
any dividend can be declared. Even
then we don't know that we will be
able TO declare one, as large creditor
may show up at the last minute. We
are just as anxious to clear up the
banks affairs as the creditors, and
everything will be done as speedily as
possible.
Henry Wickham, of Detroit, with
the approval of the court, has been
appointed BY me as bookkeeper and
accountant for the Chelsea Savings
bank. He is to receive 500 a month.
This will be paid out of the funds

Asked as to whether Mr.. Wick

ment was satisfactory to them and

paid. am convinced that he is a
capable man for the position and
will prove satisfactory to those that
have business with him"
