DOES NOT FAVOR
 BANK COMMISSIONERS PLAN
Judge Williams Indicates That He Will Not Make Them Receivers for Thames Loan & Trust.

Before Judge Williams in the su- perior court here on Thursday morn Ing the matter of the hearing on the application of the state bank commits sloners for the appointment of a re- celyer for the Thames Loan & Trust Co. came up with Attorney Wallace D. Alils appearing for the commis- sloners. Both the bank commission CTS, Norris s. Lippitt of this city and Fred F. Holt of Hartford were son the stand in support of their application for a receiver. They stated to the court that they offered to take this receiversfip without com mpensation and that they knew every piece of paper and every signature in the bank, and that they were in position where they could collect at least $50, 900 more than an outside stranger could. They stated that they had this thing so 1T; charge that they could com mence work immediately, whereas it would take one unfamiliar with the conditions at least six months to find out what they today know. They said they believed they could have the de- positors at least $15,00e in fees
 Judge Williams said that he had his own ideas about the matter and indi- cated that he would not appoint the bank commissioners as receivers as he believed they had enough work to dc in the regular line of their duties.
 Attorney Allis insisted that as the trustees of the trust company had signed a waiver in this hearing in ex- pectation that the bank commissioners would be appointed by the court, the court ought to give them a hearing. The judge asked if 1t could not be done by the afternoon, but when at torneys said this was impossible, the judge put the hearings over to next Tuesday.
 The waiver was signed by Presi- dent Harold Lawten of Plainfield, Treasurer Robert w. Perkins of Nor wich, M. Eugene Lincoln of Wflli- mantle, John l.. Mitchell Nelson J. Ayling and Henry H. Gallup. all con- stituting 6 majority of the trustees and directors of the trust company. Other trustees and directors were An gus Park of Hanover and Albert L.. Potter of Norwich.
 In the matter of the Windsor Locks Savings bank the superior court made the bank commissioners the receivers and they have paid every depositor in full. In the case of every mortgage loan and every loan of every other character at the Windsor Locks bank the bank commissioners have placed these somewhere among the 140 insti- tutions under their charge without any hardship or inconvenience to any per son. the bank commissioners say, and they could have done the same thing in this case. They have handled that entire receiyership without pay, have paid deposltors in full the amount as 1t came to them and the entire ex- pense of all clerical work has only been GOO and TOO They have also saved the depositors at least $7,5O0 in receivership fees.
 Since the restraining order against the trust company was issued about Ia there has been a big depreciation in it's securities. making such a change in it's condition that now brings the application for a receivership.
