BANK CREDITORS TO
GET PAYMENT

Special to The Evening Journal.
ELKToN, Md, Oct 5.-Thonnas
w Perkins, of Chestertown, receiver
for the Second National Bank OF
Elkton. says he has obtained per-
mission from the Treasury Depart
ment at washington, d. c. TO pay
the first dividend of ten per cent. to
the creditors of the institution.
Checks will be mailed out in about
two weeks. The bank closed its
doors last January, and for~the past
six months Receiver Perkins has
been at work trying to straighten
out the tangled condition of the
banks affairs. only recently ne
brought action in the Circuit Court
here for an order to sell the Gilpins
Falls Electric Company, but did not
succeed. The bank held s121,0oO
bonds of the electric company, which
was about one-third of the assets OF
the institution. A great deal de-
pends on just what disposition the
receiver of the bank can make of
the bonds, as to the amount the
creditors of the bank will ultimately
receive.
