Commend New Group Plan.
]. M. Maylone, cashier of the Com
mercial National bank of Coshocton,
who was chairman of the special COM
mittee of the Ohio Bankers associa-
ton, which recently formulated a
plan for the organization of system
of group clearing houses in this state,
has been in receipt of many letters
in regard to the new plan. Ohio
bankers are anxious that the details
of the plan be printed so that steps
may be taken to organize under it,
and it is said that by October 1 the
printed forms will be ready to send
out. In addition bankers in other
states who have heard of the Ohio
plan are writing for information in
regard to it. In the larger cities the
currency associations formed under
the Vreeland law will tide over strin-
gent money conditions, but the ma
jority of country banks will not be-
come members of these associations
and under the provisions of the law
many of them cannot. 1t is to fur
nish protection in times of panic and
financial stringency that the Ohio
plan was formulated and it is believed
that it will work well.
