BY a vote Of more than 90 per cent,
stockholders of the Merchants National
Bank and of the National Mechanics
Bank of Baltimore, yesterday ratified the
merger of the two institutions under the
name of the Merchants and Mechanics
National Bank. The merger will become
effective on January 1. and the new bank
will have a capital stock Of S2,oo0,0O0 and
total resources of $25,000. 600.
While much interest centers in the cor
poration elections early in January, the
prospect of important changes in the per-
sonnel Of the officers and directors is
rather slim.
Opposition to President Letters re-elec-
ton has not fairly crystallized. although
there is a general trend toward one Of the
under officials who is thoroughly familiar
with the gas business, Is possessed of di-
pIomacy and tact to a high degree. and
has the confidence OF large financial in
terests.
A couple of changes are said to be like
ly in the Washington Gas directory.
Other utilities will probably re-elect
without opposition present officers and
directors.
There never was a record for more quiet
in bank circles. While few directors will
be added TO present rosters. 1t is not ex
pected that there will be any material
change in officials.
Still water sometimes runs deep.

necessary funds from the committee it.

ever. were left OF the committeeman

With over s., 100, 900 coming out in dis

there ought to be something doing on the
local market.
