Hartford. Conn. Nov. 6. l924.

Hartford, Conn.,, Nov. 6, 1924.
 The State Banking Commission de- cided this afternoon to give charter to the Cargill Trust Company of Put nam to engage in the trust and bank ing business in that city. The lan- guage of the commissions decision reads as follows:
 It IS the opinion of the Banking Commission that at the present time public convenience and advantage will be promoted by the establishment of a bank and trust company to be located at Putnam, Connecticut"
 Elect Officers Tonight
 Announcement was made this morning by one of the incorporators of the Cargill Trust Go. that the bank would open for business next Wednesday morning in the old Thompson Bank building on Union street. where the wrecked national bank and the Putnam Savings Bank had their temporary quarters while their new buildings were being erect ed. Incorporators of the trust company will meet this evening, when they will elect officers and make choice of the man who will be treas urer or active head of the institution, clerks and other employees.
 The stock has already been fully subscribed for and the money will be paid in to someone elected by the in- corporators to act in this capacity under their authority. All of the stock must be paid for before the bank opens it's doors for business next Wednesday morning and there is no question but what this will be readily accomplished long before this time arrives.
 Thirteen Iaeorporators Present
 The hearing on the petition of the Cargiil Trust Company that preceded the decision of the commission was at tended by all but one of the fourteen ineorporators of the new trust com pany. The absent incorporator was John F. Reardon of North Grosvenor- dale. Bank Commissioner John B. Byrne presided. State Treasurer An son T. McCook and State Comptroller Salmon sat with Commissioner Byrne. John F. Carpenter. attorney for the petitioners. opened the hearing. He said the situation in Putnam was bad. just as had as 1t would be If every bank and trust company closed its doors. The fourteen subscribers to the petition for a charter met and de cided Go ask for a charter for com pany. The capital will be si00.O0O and there will be q surplus of S50.000. The shares of stock will be sold at sl50. They were anxious for state bank. The banking territory which the com pany would serve had population of 20. GOO persons. The Citizens Nation al Bank of Putnam had not yet been organized and 1t was not doing busi- ness. He thought the trust company would be an advantage to the com munity whether the Citizens Bank was started or not. In reply to Com missioner Byrne Mir. Carpenter said that two banks would prosper better than ore. He thought the banking ter ritory of Killingly was worked better than the territory of Putnam.
 Petitioners Urge Favorable Action
 Byron D. Bugbee and Luther NJ. Keith strongly urged the establish ment of the trust company. and so did George E. Bradley, who said the peo- pie wanted state bank rather than a United States bank. George E. Dresser said that Putnam had been abominably used by the system of
