Plans for Reorgani-
zation of Bank
Dropped

"HE first payments on the hun
dred per cent assessment made
by the Comptroller of the Cur
rency upon the 100000 capital
stock OF the Mesa County National
bank were made by stockholders to-
day, thus ending for the present the
plans for the reorganization OF the
bank.
Practically all OF the Grand June
tion stockholders paid the twenty
five per cent OF the assessment levied
by the comptroller. and Receiver
John j. Tobin was well satisfied with
the results of the assessment. How
ever. no payments were made on the
$5S, 900 stock of the bank held by
the First National bank of Denver
as collateral. and n number of the
eastern stockholders failed to make
the required payments. The next
step to be taken by the receiver will
be formal demand for payment, ac
companied by threat of suit unless
the amounts are naid. The practical
result will be the forfeiture OF all
stock upon which the assessments
are not paid. which will then be sold
AT auction for whatever 1t may bring.
The inability of the stockholders
committee to secure possession of the
stock held by the Denver bank Drac-
tically blocked all efforts to bring
about the re-opening of the bank.
Without this stock 1t was impossible
to secure the capital to make good
the impaired assets of the bank, and
the probabilities are that no further
effort toward reorganization will be
made, although 1t is not impossible
that some of the men who were inter-
ested in the old bank NAV form
company to have as its ultimate pur-
nose. the incorporation of new
bank for Grand Junction.
1t is still problematical just what
amount of money will be realized for
the depositors from the hundred per
cent assessment on the stockholders.
The best that can be hoped is said
