 Y J. Stearns, secretary and treas urer of the Peoples Bank today em- phatically denied current rumor that this bank was about to dissolve and he absorbed by the New Britain Trust company. Raymond R. Healey, as- sistant treasurer at the New Britain Trust company, also disclaimed any knowledge of such a deal.
 According to the story which had wide circulation about the city the peoples Savings Bank, which was in- corporated in 1907 and which is To- cated at S6 West Main street, was to sell it's banking business to the Trust company.
 That the story has gained consid- erable circulation is shown by Treas urer Stearns' attitude when ques- toned. His interrogator had hardly time to complete the question when Mr. Stearns laughed and said: Enough, I know what the story is and there is nothing to it, Nothing to it."
