Association Meets Tuesday.
President w. w. Spaid of the Dis.
trict Bankers Association will pre-
side at the special meeting called for
Tuesday afternoon at + street head
quarters for consideration of the plan
to have responsible title companies
indorSe real estate notes which are
handled by the banks.
This is the matter brought up by
Francis NJ. Addison, jr., at the Hot
Springs convention. His address was
the members so that the recommends
tons therein could be given careful
study before the special meeting set
for this week.
Maurice ID. Rosenberg, who is a
lawyer as well as banker, expressed
particular interest in the suggestion
as made at the bankers convention.
The plan was considered as the most
important of any matter of strictly
local interest that came before the
Hot Springs session. At the special
meeting all the angles involved will
be carefully discussed, including the
attitude of the title companies toward
assuming the added responsibility.

June 80, 1926, amounted to SPA 1895
O0970, which reveals n gain for the

also considered highly satisfactory by
local bankers.
All classes of banks-national saw

more money for rainy days. Twenty

not yet two years old. One month
after his arrival his account was
opened in the savings department of
the Continental Trust Co. Since then
