BY tha Associated Press
ATLANTA. July 1.-THE financial
horizon in Georgia and Florida APP
peared brighter tonight, following q
cessation Of activities which brought
about the closing of more than sc
small banks during the past week.
Virtually ell OF the banks closed
were members of a chain for which
the Bankers Trust Co., Atlanta or
ganfzation. against which Bankruptcy
proceedings now are pending, served
as fiscal agent.
No closings were reported today
ana state banking department OF
ficials expressed the belief that there
would be few OF the remaining banks
in the string which would not be able
TO make arrangements permitting
them TO continue business.
Onicial Issues Statement.
coincident with the cessation Of
closing activities In Georgia came the
first ofifcial announcement of the
number of banks that have closed in
Florida. Ernest Amos. comptroller,
announced that 81 small State banks,
IS of them members of the chain for
which the. Bankers Trust Co. acted
as fiscal agent. had closed their
doors.
Officers of the two States attributed
them directly to the bankruptcy pro-
ceedinss against the Bankers Trust
Co.. and agreed that the influences
were outside the State
Officials of the Georgia State
Banking Department said they had
sent auditors to every bank in the
State that had closed and instructed
them to complete audits OF the banks
books as rapidly as possible. with q
view to speeding reorganization and
reopening of the institutions
Believes Worst Is Over.
Mr.. Amos expressed the belief that
the financial storm had spent itself in
Florida.
This does not mean," Mr.. Amos
said, that all those banks in Florida
that have been with the system at
some time or another are in trouble
or are necessarily involved. Several
in Florida had broken connection
with. the system in time not to be
hurt in the collapse, while others
have not enough Georgia stun to
