First National Bank Says 1t
Was Not Treated SquareIy
In Distribution of County
Funds to Different Banks.
TEST SUIT MAY BE FILED
TO TEST CONTENTION.
County Attorney Holds Action
Of Finance Board Legiti-
mate-Some Banks Allowed
to Change Original Requests

The First National bank of this city
has entered a protest before the coun-
~ board of finance on account Of the
distribution OF county funds among
the six county repositories. The First
National bank claims that It was dis
eliminated against and litigation may
result
w. d. FotIlkie ana John /. Rupe, rep
resenting this institution, appeared be-
fore the county board of finance this
morning and stated that when the pro-
posals Of the various repositories were
submitted the First National bank. as
did the five other repositories. named
the maximum amount of county money
It would accept. The finance board
found that the maximum amounts ask
ed for respectively by the Greensboro
National bank, the Union National
bank. the Second National bank, the
Dickinson Trust company and the
Richmond Trust company, were so low
that after the county fund had been
proportioned out to the six deposito-
ries there would have been a surplus
left in the hands of the county treas
urer.
Mr.. Foulke and Mr.. Rupe complain
ed that the finance board Illegally al
lowed the repositories, other than the
First National bank of Richmond, to
withdraw their original proposals and
submit new proposals with increases
in the maximum amounts each of these
deposit tories would receive. On the
other hand. the representatives of the
First National bank pointed out that
this bank did not receive the maxi
mum amount it had stipulated in it's
proposal when the funds were at
length pIpportioned.
County Attorney John +. Robbins
held that the action taken by the
finance board was on his suggestion
and he regarded it as perfectly legiti-
mate. Mr.. Robbins said that the de
pository law did not provide that any
surplus fund of the county should be
left in the hands of the cOurty treasur-
err but this would have been necessary
had not the repositories. other than
the First National bank. increased
their maximum amounts of deposits
1t is probable that a test case will be
made OF the action taken by the coun-
ty board of finance.

The dust-covered machine and its occu-

to know all the details. The time
was thirteen hours and twenty-five
minutes, and considering the loss Of
two hours and ten minutes on the road
the performance is one worthy OF
note.
No Car has ever before made the

time stands as a record for the dis
lance.

few touring parties which leave here
