BANKS IN GOOD CONDITION

That Bank Has since Paid Przcti-
cuIIy All of Its Indebtedness-
Loans Are Less Than
Year Ago.
tFrom a staff CorrespondentO

LINCOLN, Jan. 2.--(Special. THE alb
stract Of the condition of incorporated
commercial and savings banks operating
unde- state charters, at the close of
busint IS December g. 1911, shows there
are G69 such banks. one gratifying thing
connected with the state banks is the
fact there has been but one small fail
ure. that of a bank at Firth since 1904.
The Firth bank was closed in 1907 on ac-
count Of its principal officer absconding
after getting the bank into financial diff
ficulties. 1t finally paid back to de-
positors about 96 per cent and there is
every reason TO believe had the officer
remained with the bank and wound up
its affairs in the ordinary way not even
that small amount would have been lost
to depositors
Another gratifying condition which Mr..
Royse finds Is that a number OF the
soundest banks in the state at present
at one time several years ago under
less stringent supervision and regulations
were on the verge of insolvency. Taken
all in all the banking department is
highly pleased with the showing made by
the December statement, u summary of
