NEW BANK5W|
START IN H|LO
rae
To Have Capital Of 100000
and Will Open Its Doors
November !

About November /, this year, a new
banking Institution will open its doors
in Hilo and it will be established in
the business center of the city in
Waianucnue street. The name of the
new financial house will be The Peo-
pies Bank, Ltd, and the capitalization
will be 100000. Already $4,000 has
been subscribed and the organizers
have no hesitation in saying that they
have the balance in sight. In fact
$4,000 worth Of stock is now being
held for a Hilo man who is away on
the mainland. The stock is only sold
to residents Of the Island of HAWAII
and the bank will be a purely local in
stitution.
The promoters of the bank are J.
W. Russell F. Greenwell, William
Chalmers, Doctor Hubby, J. c. Mocine,
T. h. M. OsOrio, J. p. Curtis and many
others whose names will be made pub
lie after a meeting that is to be held
this evening. 1t is reliably stated that
John Scott is interested in the new
bank and that he will be selected as
president of the new concern.
A bill introduced in the last leg
islature cleared the way for the new
bank, and the new law which makes
it legal for bank to be started ON a
capital of 100000 was one of the early
efforts of the men behind the new en-
terprise
After the meeting tonight the neees'
sary papers of incorporation will be
forwarded to the territorial treasurer
1t is expected that at the meeting
tonight directors will be elected and
all the preliminary steps for incorpora'
ton will be taken.
The question of a bank building Is
not quite settled, but it is stated that
| efforts are being made to purchase the
territorial lot upon which the old Hilt
| Library used to stand. In the mean
time another building in Waianuenut
street will be used II lease can be
obtained.
The man who probably will be Sc
lected to manage the bank is a well
known Hlo man of many years bust
ness training. The organizers do no.
feel justified in making his name pub
lie at the present time.
