Bank COmm'r.
Lawrence Says Dept.
Cannot Probe Bath
Iron Works Tangle

There is nothing my department
can do" was the answer of State
Bank Examiner Fred F. Lawrence
when asked Wednesday what his
plans were in connection with the
relations of the Bath Iron Works
10 the Lincoln County Trust Co., at
Wiscasset, as set forth in a state
nent issued by Governor Baxter on
tuesday night.
1.-The banking department" ex-
planned Mr.. Lawrence, has no au-
thority to investigate the finances
and operations of the Bath Iron
was anything that we could have
done it would now be outlawed by
the statutes of limitation, six years
having passed since those acts were
committed. III ...
1.-The Governor referred this mat
ter to the attorney general and my
self with an inquiry as to whether
there was anything we could do. The
attorney general and myself gave the
matter careful consideration and
were of the opinion that neither
department could make q move, that
neither had any authority lin the
matter. l so reported to the gov
ernor and 1 suppose the attorney
general did the same" ~ ..
Amy action must come from
someone who thinks he has suffer-
cd" Mr.. Lawrence was asked.
Il doubt If such n one could do
anything" was Mr.. Lawrence's re-
ply.
The bank examiner then added
that it seemed to him the only course
of action open now in the Bath Iron
mi I1t
come through the efforts of the
bondholders' committee which is
now at work upon a plan for the
future of the corporation. He had
attended a meeting of this commit
tee and felt that they were taking
hold of these various matters in
the only way the could. Their re-
port would probably make recon-
mendations covering all phases of
the company's affairs. Whether they
would recommend a receivership for
the corporation he could not fore
cast but suggested that any state
ment as to what the committee
might recommend ought to come
from its chairman. w. B. Shelton of
Lewiston.
No Statement
Ex-Governor w. T. Cobb. .presi-
dent of the Bath Iron Works, who
was in Portland, Wednesday, when
asked if he cared to comment upon
the statement which Governor Bax-
ter had issued with reference to
that company. said that he did not ;
that he could not at this time dis
! cuss tho matter.
Shelton Out Of Town
W. B. Shelton, chairman Of the
committee of Bath IRON Works bond
holders, was away from Lewiston.
Wednesday, and at his Office it was
; not known just when he would be

, tainable from him.
