Tll sweep right throueh the gate

Commissioner Alleges That
Part of Liberty Bonds
Carried on the Banks
Books We're the Property
of Individuals - Claims
Over-Loans to Several
Parties in Barre.

Bank Commissioner George B. Car-
penter filed with County Clerk l.. q
Moody at Montpelier to-day a bill Of
complaint, setting forth the reasons
why he closed the Barre Savings Bank
and Trust company Monday after that
institution had been subjected to run
by depositors. The commissioner as
serts that the books of the bank failed
to show the true condition of the bank,
alleges fraudulent conceslment of facts
charges that the bank failed to keep
proper reserve in cash, charges that
Liberty bonds carried in the bank
statement were really the property Of
individuals and that the bank has
loaned to many persons in excess Of
the amount permitted by the law.
The filing of this bill of complaint is
in accordance with the law and it asks
the nsster in ehancery to cite the d.
rectors of the bank within as days to
disprove the claims set forth.
At the outset of the bill of com
plant. Commissioner Carpenter alleges
that the books of the Barre Savings
Bank and Trust company failed to ex-
hibit true statement when examined
in October, that the examination dis
closed bills payable to the amount of
$4,000. whereas the books showed |
only Sll2,500. The commissioner al
leges fraudulent eoncealment
The bank commissioner also alleges
that the books showed untrue re-dis.
count liability of the bank, that the
re-discount was S25, 500 in excess of |
that claimed by the bank; that the |
bank had persistentlv refused to keep
the proper cash reserve against its de-
posits, having only about onehalf that
required by law
Commissioner Carpenter alleges that
on Oct. he sent a note TO the direc
tors of the Barre Savings Bank and
Trust company, whicy he asserted the
president OF the bank had wrongfully
withheld from the directors. in which
letter he tCarpenterj called attention
of the directors that the loans TO Gus
toners were in excess Of the amount
allowed by law Continuing, the com
mis- sioner referred to the re discount
statement, as above referred to.
Commissioner Carpenter alleges in
his complaint that the bond account
shows S200,000, principally made up Of
Liberty bonds, which. in reality, on
Nov - belonged TO individuals and
were wTongfully carried on the books.
Furthermore, the commissioner alleges
the books do not show the true owner
ship OF these bonds.
Another complaint BY the commits
sioner is that the bank has loaned to
many persons in excess of the amount
permitted by law. naming, among 9th
ers. Arioli & Dente, So. 100; Charles
