oped rumor this morning to the effect
that the Washington Loan and Trust
Company had arranged for the opening
of a branch bank on Pennsylvania ave-
nue. between 18th and 18th streets north

Investigation proved that there was no
truth in the report. which was probably
inspired by the fact that Ezra Gould and
Bestor R. Walters have acquired two
lots in about the location named for the
purpose of building savings bank.
