BANK CLOSING
EFFECT HELD
EXAGGERATED
Receiver Baird Says Total Of
Deposits Show Situation
Not Like Others
TALKS TO ROTARIANS

Affairs of closed banks have been
Judged too much in the past by the
number of failures or suspense ns
rather than from assets or liabil-
tiles involved, Capt. Baird told Ro-
tarians today in an address upon
the administration of closed bank s
under the law passed by the 1923
legislature
In giving comparative and approx
innate figures, Capt. Baird showed
that the deposits involved in closed
banks when compared with some Of
the failures in adjoining states were
really insignificant and not alarm
ing. He told of the efforts to re
duce the expenses of administration
to Il minimum without, however
criticizing past management of closed
banks which he explained probably
did the best they could until a work
able plan of caring for such di
vcrsity Of interests could be worked
out.
He explained the system of coming
the states. How through organiza-
ton the number of men employed to
direct the affairs of some $50 banks
had been reduced. This system is
functioning now and every effort
is being made to put affairs back on
Il stable basis as soon as is humanity
possible. Less than eighteen million
of deposits were involved, he said
which in light of Il few large failures
in some other states was inSignifi-
cant. Many of the banks involved
have small footings, he explained,
and that the mere number of in
volved institutions had distorted the
real situation and as facts were becom-
ing better known there was "a ten
dency to judge the affairs Of the in
volved institution from common
sense angle, declared Capt. Baird.

tiqn entitled: MY Old Fashioned
