tire HUuSes
In order that the affairs of the
former Middlesex county bank may
be settled and the depositors paid
what is due them without further
delay, inasmuch as the saJs OF The
wet dock" property has made such
action possible, a resolution was
adopted by the Board of Aldermen
last night that the city clerk COM
municate with the receiver. Halsey
M. Barrett, of Newark, and ask for
immediate action. The aldermen see
no reason why there should be any
further delay in the matter. as the
bank receiver has been paid what
was due from the sale of the "'wet
dock" property.
Another dividend Of about twenty
per cent. is due the depositors of the
former bank, making a total of
about seventy per cent. of their
claims. The amount the bank re-
ceiver was paid from the wet dock"
money was ss7, 900, and was the last
transaction necessary in order to al-
low the receiver to wind up the
banks affairs. There are many of
the former banks depositors in this

their dividend, hence the action of
the council last night.
