UNION STATE BANK

Financial Concern in Good Con-

tendent Alden Anderson
Former Manager w. c. Hays
Consults Attorney About
Regaining His Position

Peace now reigns in the Union state
bank, or, the State savings and COM
mereial bank, as the institution is to be
known hereafter. T. A. Bechtel has
peen erected manager in the place of
VIC. Hays, and it has been decided to
liquidate the Union state bank and al
low with State savings bank to con-
tinue in its present location in the
Monadnock building.
The reason of the trouble has been
the alleged incompctency of Hays as
a banker. His effort to take over the
control of several other banks in this
city and his failure. including a loss
OF seVerai thousands OF dollars to G..
L. Hasshagen and his mother, are as
signed as the main reasons for his be-
ing deposed

any director found TO be incompetent.
EDWARD Z. Harrison mas been retained
py Hasshag gen, and st is probable that
civil action will be brought against
Hays in an endeavor to recover the
losses sustained by Hasshagen and his
mother.
The solvency of the institution has
not been questioned Alden Anderson,
superintendent of hanks, has placed
his examiner, S. P. Young. in the bank
and ordered thorough investiga ton
of the accounts and loans. and, accord
ing to partial report by Young, the
bank is in good condition.
The report that H&ys had overdrawn
his account to the extent OF more than
$1,000 was denied by Bechtel yesterday.
He said that such thing would have
been impossible.
Hays and the Union state bank were
made defendants yesterday in a suit
for $4,000 damages fled by Edgar A.
Miner According 70 the complaint
Miner obtained a street paving con-
tract for s145.s6S from the city of
Richmond. Contra Costa county, last
September and arranged with Hays for
the bank to take ocer from him the
bonds with which the city paid for
the work at IS PEE cent of the par
value. This. he says, Hays refused to
do, involving the piaintiff in loss to
the amount sued for.

IMPROVEMENT IN PAVING
Inspection Bureau Demands
High Quality of Work

Vast Improvement in the quality of
street paving since the Inauguration
of the checking system employed by
the bureau of inspection of the Civic
league is noted in the formal report of
the bureau Just issued. According to
the report the rigid inspection has re-
suited in great good. The report says
The quality of work on streets has
improved to marked degree since the
bureau has taken up the inspection
of paving. 1t is a matter of common
talk among the men engaged in this
work that they would rather have the
entire inspection force of the board
of public works appear than the rep
resentatives of this bureau.
Several employees of the board have
preferred to leave the employ of the
city rather than work under our in
spection. Many complaints have been
received during the last month and
promptly adjusted TO the satisfaction
of the parties concerned"
