FAVoRS DIVISION.
Sprinevale Board of Trade Wants
Sanford Split Apart.

Springvale, Me, Dec. 9.-The Spring.
vale Board of Trade, at its last regu-
lar meeting, voted unanimously in fa-
vor of bill which has been drawn up
to be presented at the coming ses-
sion of the Legislature, ..To Divide
the Town of Sanford and Incorporate
the Town of Springvale." Representa-
tive Willis II. Folsom has received an
official request from the board, to do
all in his power to bring about the
division. and the Sanford Board of
Trade has been asked to cooperate.
George A. Goodwin. Howard Frost.
L. NJ. Carroll, w. T.. Sanborn and Ell
mer II. Harris were appointed a COM
mittee to attend to all business nee
essary to bring the matter before the
Legislature and secure it's passage, IL
possible. Secretary Frost of the
Springyale Board has forwarded to
the Sanford Board of Trade a letter
requesting that the latter body take
the matter up for consideration at its
next meeting, which will be held.
Thursday evening". Dec. u.
The matter of division was frs
brought up in March, 1911, when by
vote of the town Springvale village
lost its High school, the sSpringvals
and Sanford High schools being unit
ed as the Sanford High school. An at
tempt was made by citizens to get a
bill for division before the Legisla-
ture, then in session, but as the ses-
sion was nearly over it was found i'm
possible.
At the annual town meeting last
March, Springvale lost it's representa-
ton on the Board of Selectmen. and
also an appropriation which had been
proposed for a new school building
in the upper village. Since that time
the sentiment in favor of division has
been almost unanimous in Springvale
village, and 1t does not appear at pres
ent that the movement will meet any
strenuous opposition from the people
of Sanford. the larger village of the
town, providing the two sections can
agree on the dividing line and set
tlement of the value of public build
ings in the two villages.
A prominent member of the Spring
vale Board of Trade said today
I'VE are out for division because we
believe it is for the best interests or
both ends of the town. Neither time
nor temporary defeat win alter our
determination. If the Legislature re-
fuses to grant our request at the COM
ing session, We shall certainly carry
the matter to the referendum"

PLENTY OF FUNDS
But Greenfield, Mass, Bank Cannot
Resume Till Suit Is Settled.


Greenfield, Mass. Dec. 9.-An unique
situation in the banking situation of
Massachusetts was shown, today, at
the annual meeting of the Greenfield
Savings Bank, which has been closed
since February, 1909, Bank Commits
sioner Augustus G. Thorndike an
nounced that although every cent Of
the banks $2,S3s,o75 liabilities to de-
positors was covered by good assets,
and there was surplus of $106,924,
the bank could not be opened nor
could its 7009 depositors be paid. This
condition of affairs is due to the fact
that the bank has suit pending
against the Board of Investment,
which was in Office when 1t was clos
ed and whose alleged poor investments
and Irregularities brought about the
suspension. The bank commissioner
said the laws of Massachusetts would
not allow the re-opening of the bank
until the suit was disposed of. He
announced his intention of asking the
incoming Legislature to amend the
present statutes so that a re-ppening
might he possible.
