DIVIDEND Or 25 PER CENT
READY FOR DEPOSlTORS.

A complete and exhaustive report, in |
which every phase of the affairs of |
the George Alexander & Co. Bank is
fully covered, was filed by Deputy
Banking Commissioner Buckner Woou-
ford in Circuit Court yesterday.
After submitting a statement of the
condition of the bank on May 20, 1914,
the commissioner files a statement
showing condition of the institution on
Nov. z, and shows by comparison
of the two how affairs have been man
aged. Under the head of Resources,
one item shows the sum of ST., 183.40
credited to George Alexander's mis-
appropriation account Cash onhand
on Nov. z, 1914 is shown to be $1l8,-
90S.52 Of overdrafts amounting to
$28,S37.84, Commissioner Woodford
ance of $9,66633, OF which $1,613.49 is
estimated as being collectible.
The report gives the total expenses
of $3,149.27 for liquidation, including
expert accountant services, attorney
fees, etc., from May 20 to Nov Z.
Total bills of exchanges are listed
ammounting to $47,S6275, of which
sos ,448.47 is worthless paper and S.
043.37 doubtful paper, leaving good
paper amounting to $61,370.9l.
The report states that Mr.. N. Krien-
er holds what he calls the banks
notes for $37,500, and claims that the
bank by it's President Geo. Alexander,
| assigned and delivered to him num-
| Der of bills receivable of the bank OF
Geo. Alexander & Co. State Bank
amounting to $4,000, and has brought
suit against the Commissioner to re-
cover all of said collateral.
The Commissioner states that he
has been advised by counsel that the
| directors of the bank are liable to
him representing TIE depOSitOrS and
creditors, in sum of money sufficient,
he hopes, with other assets available
to pay the depositOrs and creditors of
| the bank in full; that there is now
| to his credit in various banks OF the
city of Paris sums of money amounting
to $11S,9OS52 the total out standing
| Indebtedness of the bank including
rejected or contested claims, is $4O6,-
/ 1881
Commissioner Woodford makes the
cheering statement that he is now
able to distribute 25 per cent to all
the creditors of the bank, whose
claims he recognizes, and he now asks
to be allowed to distribute this %
per cent to them.
Mr.. Woodfords report is as complete
as intelligent systematic work could
make it, and reflects great credit upon
him for the thorough and painstaking
manner in which he has endeavored to
get at the real affairs of the bank, to
bring order out of chaos and to safe
guard at once the best interests OF
the depositors and creditors and all
Others vitality concerned.
