THE HYDE PARK BANK AND
OUTOFSTATE LOANS.

AT meeting at Montpelicr
October 30. the Farmers Club
listened to a speech by Hon. John
II. Senter, who volunteered for
the cdiication Of the Club this
statement:
1.-The Hyde Park Bank says it
.loes not loan outside of Vermont,
but it deposits money outside the
State
SO much has been said in regard
to the attitude of the Hyde Park
Bank some truthful. some other
wise-that perhaps an authorila-
tive statement may interest our
readers.
The bank makes this broad
statement:
That aside from funds deposit
ed on call in New York or Boston,
this bank has never loaned dol
lar since lis organization except
on Vermont security or on paper
guaranteed by a tirst-class Yer
mont name or names. 1t does
not decline to receive out-of- State
collateral if it believes the nome
name is good.
Ii makes every effort to place
its idle, or so-called "call money"
with Vermont banks rather than
out-of- State banks; but every
bank, so far as we ever knew,
keeps a part of its idle money in
those reserve cities authorized by
Section 1859 of the Vermont Sta
tutcs. But this bank has never
made deposits West or South even
under this statute, but confined
them to cities in New England
and New York.
II has been the policy of the
Hyde Park Savings Bank always
to keep financially strong so thar
it might at any time respond TO
any call upon it by any Yer
monter, and it has day on hand
AMI on deposit "on call in Bos-
ton and New York and in loans
to Vermont banks $2S0,273.37.
Within the last 90 days this
bank has said to practically every
savings bank in Vermont 1--WE
prefer to keep our deposits in
Vermont rather than in New
York and Boston Banks, and if
you can use the money of this
bank at 4 per cent, we shall be
glad to place it with you"
From the suggestion of Mr. Sen
ter the inference could be fairly
drawn that the Hyde Park Bank
was indirectly loaning money out
side the State through this prac-
tice OF making deposits outside
the State. What else can Le mean

when he uses the word "but'
he loes We repeat his quotation
1.-THE Hyde Park Bank says
Ices not loan outside of Vermont
1ut it deposits money outside o
The State. =
The bank has not had a deposit
out Of the State for many years
if at all, that paid more than 4 |
per cent interest; and the sugges}
ton that il was in this way get
ting around or avoiding its idef|
of making loans outside the Statd
is entirely Gratuitous.
The Hyde Park Bank courts ind
vcStigation by everybody, whethe 4
they are interested as lepositor]
or otherwise and the bank ID
more than pleased that Mr.. SEMI
Tr has given it an opportunity td
bring to the public's notice thu
fact-for it probably is Il fact
that the Hyde Park Bank carries
il larger percentage of its assets
on call, and where it can put
its hand upon them at a moment 4
notice, than any other bank in the
State. In no other way could this|
bank he so powerful a factor I'M
the financial affairs of the State.
In no other way could II be pre-
pared to respond to all calls, largc|
or small. not only from Individuals
but from its neighbor Nermont|
banks. There are very few banks
in Vermont that do not under
stand that if in need of funis tot
take care of their customers they
can come to the HYDE Park Bank
and will probably oct the money.
This may not always be true:
but there has not been n day in
the last four years when the Hyde
Park Bank has not been in condi-
ton to respond and has respond
ed, to every call of this kind from
IFS neighbor banks.
1t costs the bank something in
loss of interest to do this, for
there hash t been a time for years
that ii could not send the same
money West and get from Il to 5
per cent. But ii is entirely salts
fed and content to do business as
it is now doing, because lis phe-
nomenal growth shows that its
action is appreciated by the good
people Of Vermont.
lis average deposits have eX-
ceeded its Withdrawals for every
day in the last five years. barring
Sundays and holidays, 5000 per
day.
The Bank returns its thanks to
Mr.. Senter for giving this oppor.
tunity through the columns of
the News and Citizen to state its
position fully and explicitly

Hartford, Conn. Dec 15-One OF the
important measures TO be introduced I'm

TO provide for two engineers for every

has the backing Of the labor unions. II
has for it's chief argument that II would

railroads so much in life and property
that the extra expense could be looked at
only as low price for great benefit.
With two engineers, one man would not
be called upon to interpret signals alone.
and would have the wisdom OF his com

or be reckless or indiscreet The recent
