The Bank Of Austin

The ReYeille publishes the following
statement of Cashier j. A. Miller, Jr.,
in regard to the suspension Of the Bank
of Austin, its financial condition and
the prospects for its resuming business
in the very near future:
During the month of July we had
extra heavy Withdrawals, not in the
nature of run, but by merchants in
the natural course of their business.
We also had to furnish the money for
q large redemption of Lander County
bonds. During this time it was i'm
possible for us to secure money from the
outside AS soon as we saw that we
had reached the limit, we closed
voluntarily.
GAS far as the deposits are concerned,
the bank owes J. A. Miller, Sr., an
amount equal to all other depositors
combined. The deposits, exclusive of
the amount due my father amount to
$780, 00., Against this we have 1881 900
in outstanding loans, the security for
which is gilt edged, being ranches, live
stock and city property valued at half
Il million dollars. This is to say moth
ing of the asset of 100000 in cash and
cash collections.
We have already had offers of aid
both from New York and San Francisco,
and our bank will reopen just as soon as
matters can be arranged by which we
can avail ourselves of these offers"
Mr.. Miller was reticent about stating
IL definite day on which the bank would
resume business. But indicated that it
would be done just as soon as securities
can be classified and forwarded to the
money centers and cash received in
return.
Cashier Miller on Wednesday and
Thursday drew up u statement of the
banks condition and submitted it to a
number of the prominent business men
of the town. They were all highly
pleased with the showing and express
eel implicit confidence in the institution.
This confidence of the community in
the Bank is shown in the fact that

WASTING THE PEOPLES MONEY

is there is Il deficiency of nearly 500

States treasury were evidently unable

to notice, that the tide had turned and

In spite of this enormous falling off

year, namely, from July /, 1908, to

the apportionment made by the con

DR.. GRACE RAYMOND HEBARD

Now that the trustees have accept
ed DR.. Hebard's resignation as secre
tary of the board, it IS only right that
some inside history be told. AS a
matter of fact her position should
have been made public long ago, and
would have, but for certain reasons
which are the property of the board
alone. At the June meeting in 1907
Miss Hebard resigned. The board
were unanimous in refusing to accept
it. Again at the August meeting. af-
ter the report of the commission, she
asked to be relieved. Again the
board refused to consider the matter
and persuaded her to remain its sec
rotary. At the December meeting
she expressed "A strong desire to re-
tire, saying that the duties of secre-
tary, in connection with her work as
librarian and assistant professor of
political science, were becoming very
heavy. At the February meeting
she informed the board that she in
tended to retire at the end of the fis-
cal year.
Now that her resignation has been
accepted it is we'll that some state
ments concerning her work, her abil-
ity and integrity be made. Miss He
bard came to the University 1S years
ago, and has been with it continuous
ly aver since. No one, not even
President Gramm, or Mr.. Burke, has
labored more earnestly and with sing
leness of mind and purpose for the
up-building of the University than
DR.. Hebard.
The University library was IA hand
full of books in "A sack when she Ell
tered the institution. Now it is the
largest and most complete in the
state, occupying much space. There
has passed yearly thru this woman's
hands from $4,000 during the in
fancy of the University to $4,000
and never "A cent missing or misused.
That is a record that any man might
covet and it deserves a monument
not to Miss Hebard as Miss Hebard
simply, but to Miss Hebard, the in
corruptable, the faithful, the unwav-
ering servant of the University and
the people, toiling day and night
through the weary years, always with
the harness on!
When one contemplates this wo-
man and her long and faithful SER
vice, one is led to wonder if there
were not times when the burden grew
heavy, the hands weak and unnerved,
the heart faint and the eyes dim with
tears over the cruel, harsh and I'M
feeling things hat were said. There
must have been sleepless nights and
an almost continual tossing to and
fro, until the morning light, under
the smarting sting of unappreclation.
There are some people in this world
who labor and strive with such high
purpose and with such ~singleness of
aim, their work, being SO far above the
comprehension of the ordinary mind.
that they must needs be looked upon
as enemies to the common good and
stoned, like Stephen, at the gates of
the city. There is one thing Miss
Hebard may rest assured of, and
that is, that the time will come when
her work in the university will be APP
preciated by all, as it is now by the
few, who realize and acknowledge Its
great and far reaching Importance.
