JUST FOUR MINUTES.
Exchanges Made by Waterbury Banks Through Clearing House in Record Time.

Where in the past a messenger from the commercial banks of the city oc- cupied about a half hours time getting exchanges from the other banks, the complete business was handled at the Merchants Trust Go. Monday in exactly four minutes, says the Water bury Republican It was the opening day of the Clearing House association system and under the management Of John K. Bulger, treasurer of the Mer- chants Trust, the new system was much an improvement over the old plan yesterday that the association promises to be a good thing Tor the banks.
 The six banking institutions that are members of the clearing house are the Waterbury National bank, the Manufacturers National bank the Cit izens National bank, the Colonial Trust Co.,, the Waterbury Trust Co, and the Merchants Trust Co.
 Monday five of the clerks represent ing five of the banks, gathered at the Merchants Trust Co.,, made the eX- changes, the proofs were taken off showing the amounts and in four min utes time were ready to start back. One clerk came from the center of the city and was absent from the bank just seven minutes Wncu ne ItluIHtu NlLh the complete exchanges.
 When the association was organized it was voted that reports would be made public only once a month. Man ager Bulger stated yesterday after afternoon that people interested enough to watch the newspapers for thse re- ports can determine the activity or in- activity of Waterbury business by comparing the figures with those of other months He said it was the best possible barometer for business man to go by. Mir. Bulger emphasized the ] fact that the total clearingsc was what indicated the volume of business done and that the balance paid had nothing to do with 1t.
 The cashiers of the national banks and the treasurers of Trust companies will take turn serving as managers | The distinction of the first manager | fell to MT. Bulger and after two
 months the site of the clearing house | will be transferred to some other banl and another man will act as manager | Albert J. Blakesley Is president of tn, | association and Lewis $. Reed is secre- ! tary and treasurer.
