 The Windham County Savings bank, organized in 1864. is no more. By Q process of law the bank automatically was merged Thursday with the Brook Iyn Savings bank, which institution, now decidedly increased in importance and prestige, will continue under its present title.
 Actually the merger. proposed dur I ing May by a committee representing I the Windham County Savings bank, as authorized at the annual meeting of the corporators Of that institution, be- came effective Tuesday upon the rat I ification of the merger plan by the state bank commissioner, but it was not really considered in force until the annual meeting of the corporators of I the Brooklyn Savings bank Thursday afternoon.
 All of the books and securities of the I Windham County Savings banks have been transferred to the possession of the Brooklyn Savings bank and the quarters of the merged bank are closed. Under the arrangement for the i consolidation of the institutions, the organization of the Windhem County | Savings bank has automatically ceased ! to exist The recently elected treas urer, Sidney Bard, returns to the ] been employed for a number of years | until his election in May as treasurer of the Windham County Savings bank At the annual meeting of the Brook | lyn Savings bank trustees Thursday, l the following new corporators were added to the organization by election: | Ernest R. Warren, Frederick A. Jacobs, w. J. Craig, W. P. Kelley. Charles I Austin, Clark Congdon, John F. Car penter. N. Lorne Greig.

 1 One great feature of the consolida- l ton of special interest to depositors of l the Windham County Savings bank Is | that their funds are relieved from all restrictions imposed by Judge Marcus H. Holconnb, now governor, when in | temoer. 1913. he set forth the condf- | tions under which the Windham l County Savings bank might be re- 1 opened for business after being closed 1 for a period of IA months. These con- l ditious included an arrangement under 1 which, 10 per cent. of any persons de- l posits became available for withdrawal l every three months. While no great l advantage was ever taken by the de- positors as whole to withdraw to the | Iull or LnSlr privilege unQeE II11S l arrangement, there were some cases where it worked inconvenience to per- l sons who were in need of more of their l money than they could withdraw. All of the depositors of the merged bank are now on an equal footing with l the depositors of the Brooklyn bank,
 which, since it's organization in 1872, | has grown steadily in strength and rel ative worth. Its absorption of the 1 Windhan County Savings bank makes
 it one of the most important savings 1 institutions in this part of the state. Assistant Prosecuting Attorney. Judge w. F. Woodward has appoint | ed Attorney Harry E. Back assistant I prosecuting attorney for the town of l kiilingly.
