SELL ASSETS OF SOME ss.tsE
OF CLOSED BANKS

Sale Of some of the closed banks of
the state has been adopted as one Of
the methods to be used by the Guar
anty Fund Commission and the State
Banking Board in cleaning up the
banks and reducing the liability of the
Guaranty Fund Commission. The
policy, adopted after considerable in
'vestigation and consideration by re-
ceivsrs, bankers and officials, does

not apply to all the closed banks out
in those in which the boards feel that
a greater sum can be realized through
sale of the assets than through the
liquidation Of the banks. ~
The condition facing the Guaranty
Fund Commission was clarified some
time ago by the report of the bank
ers' committee composed of Geo. H
Hollister, A.. E. Sevareid and H: p
Goddard, which after an examination
OF the deposits of closed banks re-
closed at the time of the examina-
ton the following: total deposits, in
GLIDING checking accounts, time c.
DIS, cashier checks, savings accounts,
demand C. DIS, certified checks due
to banks, $7,437, $780,; not guaran-
teed, $2,984, 712.28; questioned, $685.
3s6.71; guaranteed, $3,64S,937.91. The
result Of the audit has decreased
greatly the amount of deposits which
it appeared from the records would
become liabilities of the Guaranty
Fund Commission.
Consolidation Step
The first step adopted in an effort
to lessen expense which cut the as
sets of closed banks was the CONSOLE
dation of receiverships. The ex-
penses of So receivers under the for
mer system in which there was one
receiver for each bank was $685.
302.44, or $22,109.00 month during
1921. Under the consolidation sys-
tenn or after banks had been grouped
as to receivers the expenses of the
same banks for the first five months
of 1922 amounted to $71,O45.O1 or
14,209.O0 per month, net saving of
$4,000 month, according to re-
ports to the Guaranty Fund Commits
sion.
A member of the commission, in
giving comparative statement in
tended to show the advantages of the
plan for the sale Of assets said that
on one bank the original amount of
the assets was $139,55O. The esti-
mated loss, if it remains closed, is
$67,512. An offer of $4,000 was
made for the assets, the people pur-
chasing to reopen the bank. This
shows difference Of $4,000 between
the estimate Of the loss if the bank
remains closed and if it is opened up.
Receivers Handicapped
Receivers, it is said, are handicap
ped in the matter of taking care of
the assets. People owing a closed
bank will not give security to it as
readily as going institution. The
same is true of other duties of the
receivers it is said by those in touch
with the course of affairs in closed
banks the receivers finding their work
more difficult than would they if
heading going concern.
The Guaranty Fund Commission it
is expected, will ask the next legis-
lature to enlarge its powers over clos
ed banks, since they are so closely
related to the liquidation which is
made under the board by provisions
Of the guaranty law. Under the
present law the Guaranty Fund Com
mission is acting to large extent
in an advisory capacity to the bank
ing board in the handling of the af-
fairs of the closed banks.

unhappiness. And her own secret
was gone-Millie knew all about it.
Besides, there were new secrets to
be kept. Her frank and open nature
revolted from any sort of deception,
and Miles secret was a deception;
at least, it called for constant decep-
tion. She tried to analyze the differ
ence.
She was in love with Paul; but that
was all right, because her love hurt no
one. The knowledge of it would have
made no difference to anyone else,
but all the difference to her, for to
share the secret, somehow took from
it its sacredness.
Millie was in love with Paul. But
in that case everything changed, for
Humphrey was hurt. Humphrey
should know. Yet to tell Humphrey
would hurt him brutally. Patty, of all
the people in the village, guessed the
sensitiveness of spirit that lay under
his thick body and slangy manner.
IF he doesn't know-what is the
difference?" she asked herself, staring
out of her window across the green
lawns and gardens of the neighbor-
ing houses. paul won't come back,
she'll never see him, what's the harm
perhaps she'll forget about it."
In her concern for her sister, she
was forgetting her own depression
over the very fact that she would
never see Paul either!

And Patty wondered whether any of
these friends in the town had ideas
secretly cultivated but screened from
public view as the vegetables, chick
en- runs and drying yards were
screened!
"Of course, she shouldn't be in love
with anyone else, and she should be
in love with Humphrey" Patty got
that far and stopped. How could she !?
Could Millie say 81 will think this

Suppose she herself were married to
