 The board of directors of the First National bank, of which MT. Tyler was director, passed the following reso- lutions yesterday:
 Tn the death of Morris F. Tyler the First National bank has suffered severe loss. He had been mem Der of the board of directors for flf- teen years, and had rendered valuable service through his clear judgment and wise counsel.
 He had wide knowledge of men, an acute mind, and an unusual under standing of the conditions under which modern business is transacted, Quick to form his opinions, positive in the eSsression of them, he was, how ever, open to conviction and ready to revise his judgment when he saw that he was in error. He had the qualities of a good counsellor, and his asso- ciates in this board bear willing testi- mony to his devotion to the interests of this bank.
 He will be sorely missed also in the more intimate personal interests of life. In the meetings of this board his coming was always welcomed, his absence always noted. To each one of his fellow directors his death means the breaking of an intimate and cher 1shed friendship.
 ''It was voted that this minute be spread on the records of the bank, and a copy sent to the family of the de- ceased.
 Attest: FIRED B. BUNNELL,
