Bank Stockholders
Will Discuss Plans
for Reorganization

Whether definite move will be made
looking to the reopening Of the Amer
ican Bank & Trust company is depend
ent upon the v ew taken by the stock
holders when they meet next Monday,
it was stated Friday by A. II. Gray,
who with A. j. Fousek and Alfred
Malmberg, was in conference Thurs
day with State Bank Examiner l.. q.
SHELTON at Helena. The meeting will
be the first held by the stockholders
since the bank closed and is made pos
sible now by the completion of the
bank examiners report.
Barring the poss bility that new cap
ital can be obtained, the most feasible
means of reopen ng the bank would be
through assessing the stock, said A1r.
Gray. "As the sitnation now presents
itself, the stockholders have the choice
of assessing themselves and saving the
stock, or losing the stock and being as
sesed anyway. Any plan for reopening
the bank will include an arrangement
with the depositors that would leave
their money in the bank for stated
period. This would be done, probably,
by issu ng certificates Of deposit"
Mr.. Gray stated that the state bank
examiner is disposed to give the stock
holders ample time to work out any
plan for opening the bank, preferring
this course to the appointment of re-
ceiver
