STATE BANK COMMISSIONERS
 TO BANK INCOPROATORs
Warning in Advance of Annual Meet ins-Disinterested Appraisers Find Deficit or Impairment of S11o,992- Importance of Coming Election,

In view of the annual meeting of the Putnam Savings bank to be held Monday the state bank commission CTS have sent the following communi- cation to each of the seventeen incor- porators, together with a report of the condition of the bank on July ?, 1914:
 Commissioners Communication.
 To the Corporators of the Putnam
 Savings Bank:
 The Bank Commissioners of Con necticut understand that you are to have the annual meeting of your bank on Monday, July goth, 1914. The con- ditien of the Putnam Savings bank and matters pertaining thereto have caused the banking department of the state of Connecticut a great deal of anxiety. Some few days ago it was suggested that each and every cor porator be shown by the bank officials the true condition of the bank as of some date in July after the July ac- cumulations of interest and income had been received.
 The banks officials in cooperation with their attorneys agreed to do this and selected Ralph w. Cutler. presi- dent of the Hartford Trust company. Ferdinand Richter, of Hartford. head of one of the most respected brokerage firms in Connecticut. and H l.. Beayile of the Society of Savings Hartford to make an appraisal of the banks as- sets, the expense of said appraisal to be borne by the bank. Based upon the said appraisal made and subscribed to by the said appraisers selected by your own officials and attorneys the showing Is as set forth in the enclosed statement of conditions, and you will notice that the surplus and interest accounts have been wholly wiped ont and that there is a deficiency or inn pairment> of S110, S92. 6S. The bank commissioners sincerely regret the ne- cessity of calling your attention to the conditions as they exist. But each and every one of you has a serious responsibility to perform in working out the salvation of your bank; and We have insisted that a true statement be made for you that you may truly understand this duty and responsibil- ity which lies before you and thereby be the letter able to assume and per form the same
 At the present date, according to the appraisal made by your appraisers for you, the bank is not solvent. It is to be hoped that the banks assets last few months they have decreased
 rather than increased in value. on ac- count of the depreciation of certain 1 issues of bonds and possibly other reasons. What effect the future may have upon the Yahle of the banks as | sets is largely speculative
 It Is to be-hoped that the manage ment to be elected at your annual meeting will be able to wisely plan to bring the bank out of it's present diff l faculties, and in using the best of
 judgment in selecting your officers lies
