Boston. Feb. 21--To a proposal by
Simon Swig, vice president Of the
fremont Trust Company, closed by
Bank Commissioner Allen last Thurs
day, that the institution be reopened
under certain guarantees, Governor

claimed it was as solvent and LIQUID
as any bank in the city, but said that
in liquidation it's assets would shrink,

stock of his family in the bank for
which 100000 had been paid in cash
as security for loans alleged to, be

The governor replied that he had
been assured by the bank commist

legation that the company was closed
by conspiracy. Announcing his lack
of jurisdiction, Governor Cox added
that "any proposal for it's reopennig
must be taken up with the bank COM
