Side walk Tax Roll Less Than Usual

SIoeWak ak NoU IeS8 tu1n OSuat.
The report of Street Commissioner
Brewer to the council shows a total OF
81. 300 in sidewalk tax to be spread ON
the winter roll for walks built this
year. This is considerably less than
for some years and the amount will
continue to decrease as the streets in
the residence and business portions are
well cared for with cement walks. The
walks put down this year are uniformly
good and have cost the city less than
heretofore, as better facilities for doing
the work were provided.

'Comnnissioner Doyle Closes First
Commercial & State Savings Bank

the Bank Solvent


BY order of Banking Commissioner
Doyle the doors of the First Com
mercial & State Savings Bank at Du-
rand, were closed Thursday and a rep.
resentative of the State Banking De-
partment is in charge. But little in
formation is obtainable from the Com.
missioner. except that the last examina-
tion showed certain conditions which
were not satisfactory. 1t is said that
loans amounting to $4,000 made to
parties in Ann Arbor and Detroit were
sharply criticised and form the basis
for the order to close. OF this amount
$500 was paid in after the bank doors
were closed and the directors claim
that within week the balance can be
had. The bank was organized about
three years ago with capital of $685.

Durand, Mich, November 9-Inter.
viewed tonight concerning the closing
Of the First Commercial & Savings
Bank by Banking Commissioner Doyle,
Cashier Harry A. Simpson said
''The officers of the bank do not know
what the banking commissioner means
by the term ''irregularities" in connec-
tion with the business of the bank. The
bank is solvent and the depositors will
be paid every cent due them. We
were temporarily pressed but help was
on the road. Had the banking COM
missioner given us week of grace, as
he had promised to do, we would have
had clear sailing. We have done moth
ing underhanded and court thorough
investigation"
DR.. Carney, director of the bank,
refused to talk any further than to say
the depositors would get all that is due
them and that it had not yet been de-
termined just what the banking COM
missioner meant by irregularities.
Cashier Harry A. Simpson is 40 years
old and has a family. He came to Du-
rand three years ago. Previously, in
Bad Axe, he was associated four years
with F. w. Hubbard, who established
a string of private banks in the Thumb
district.
Eleven stockholders brought suit 1S
months ago against the individual of
ficers of the old bank and against the
new bank as a corporation, claiming to
have been frozen out when the old
bank went into liquidation. They al
lege l-advised loans had caused its
liabilities to equal it's assets. Liquida-
tion followed 40 per cent assessment
on stock, they say, to put the national
bank on firmer bases and came as
complete surprise to them. Judge
Peter f. Dodds of Mt. Pleasant, sitting
at Corunna, recently heard this case,
which involves about $25, He has

WHILE IN RUSSIA.
Jewish Citizens Request Taft 10
Compel Fair Treatment

New York, April 10.-Formal de-
mand wes made on President Taft
Thursday to have Russia stop its dis
elimination against American citi-
zens OF Jewish faith. He was noti-
fled that If he and the state depart
ment do not act at once to compel
Russia to recognize passports issued
to American citizens without regard
to their religious belief that the fed
eral courts win be appealed to.
The demand was made by Attor-
ney Nicholas Klein. of Cincinnati. In
order to make test case that would
be effective he has cited the refusal
of the Russian consul in this city to
wise the passport issued to Rabbi
Joseph Jasin. of Niagara Falls.
The latter. who is former secretary
of the Federation OF american Zion
lists and at present vice-prcsident Of
that body, member OF the executive
committee OF the Sons of Zion. and a
governor of the American Civic alli-
alce. is to be backed In his proceed
ings by every Jewish organization in
the United States.
In the formal letter sent to the
president it is stated that Rabbi
Jasin's passport, issued March s.
1911. was presented to the Russian
consul in New York yesterday and
he refused to recognize it for travel
through Russia because 1t had been
issued to Jew.
