The severe storm Of snow, wind and rain that prevailed in this section of the country was just as unwelcome in Westerly as in any other place in the universe.

The river rose way above the wharveE, and the consequent and expected dam age resulted from the overflow to the several industries along the river front and the motor and sailboats i'll winter quarters were disturbed, with more or less damage But the greatest damage was along the beach front, including Watch Hill, Pleasant View, Week apaug, Qonocontaug and Charlestown beach.

Atlanta Must VIM" Says Maddox.
And that means for Atlanta" said
Robert F. Maddox, Of the joint com

that Atlanta alone has the power and

inasmuch as Atlanta has the geo

It would seem that the sentiment
among the Georgia cities was unani-
nous for Atlanta, as well as for the
State.

At the meetings in New York and

Georgia Bank Deposits Gain
Nearly SIG, 600, 900 in Year

Georgias banks had one of the
most prosperous twelve months in
their history in the year Just closed.
This is shown with gratifying clear
ness in the statement made public
Saturday night by State Bank Exam
liner w. j. Speer.
Substantial increases in assets, de-
posits cash, cash in banks, and sur
plus, and the very marked decrease in
money borrowed (bills payable) are
the principal features OF their greatly
improved condition over that of last
year.
Total resources in 1913 leaped to an
excess of $5,s9S, 900 over the resources
OF 1912.
The increase in deposits, as natural
in prosperous times, was even more
marked, these increasing during the
year by s15,S72,s49.
Here are other important COMPARE
sons
Cash has increased by sT,O9S.O43.
Capital stock in Georgia banks has
increased by S1,100, 900
Surplus and profits show an in
crease of 81 ,042, 900.
Overdrafts have decreased by ST.

Bills payable show q decrease of
over $4,000 000.
THE condition OF the banks of the
State" said Mr.. Speer "as indicated
by their last statement of December
8, 1918. and by the reports of the
examiners for the six months ending

Thus far the only element at all
disquieting to the Atlanta bankers is
the suggestion that Richmond, which
Is making a hot campaign in that
section. might gain so much of a
foothold that the big committee would
think best to establish a regional bank
there. and another at New Orleans,
thus splitting between those two ter
ritories the district that the Atlanta
bankers are hoping and expecting will

tional incentive to Atlanta to go the
