To the Honorable Chairman and Mem
bers of the County Board of Super
visors of Pierce County, Wisconsin:
Gentlemen: The First National Bank
of River Falls, Wisconsin, being one of
the leading banks of Pierce County;
it's stockholders for themselves, being
among the heaviest taxpayers in Pierce
County, hereby protests against the
policy of the representatives of the
townships of said county, in comforting
all of it's favors upon one bank. That
is for a period of about fifteen years
all the interest bearing funds of said
county have been deposited in one and
the same bank to-wit: the Farmers q
Merchants State Bank of River Falls.
In order that this policy, unjust and
unfair to the other taXpaying banks,
and stockholders of such banks, may
not be rendered necessary from lack of
competition for the use of said county
funds, The First National Bank of
River Falls, Wis, makes your honor
able body the following proposition:
| To act as County Depository for the
county funds for the ensuing year
upon the following terms and condi-
| lions, to-wit
To pay interest at the rate of three
per cent per annum on daily balances
and that such interest shall be com
puted and credited to the county at the
| end of each month and that such de-
posits and accrued interest will be sub
| ject to check at all times on demand.
| Respectfully submitted,
First National Bank, River Falls, Wis.
