Settle In
Bank Difficulty
Near Completion

The 81 per cent compromise
reached between the receivers or
the Farmers and Merchants Bank
of Imperial and the farmers whose
notes of She Farm and Home Loan
A ssociation were held by the bank,
is undergoing completion. When
the Farm and Home Loan Associa
tion gained control of the bank at
Imperial it persuaded the farmers
who had given their notes for stock
in the association to renew those
notes through the bank, and that
the receivers and the farmers
agreed to accept a 30 per cent set
tlcmcnt.
The state banking department
then demanded that $1,000 be put
IN escrow before it would consent
to the compromise. This has been
done and Frank V. Bordwell, de.
putty in charge Of the liquidation Of
the bank. and Scott b. Foulds Of
the farm bureau are asking the
court to make a settlement for
those whose money has been paid.
Ihis is expected to go into ettect
within a week or 10 days at which
time the money will be paid to the
receivers and the notes returned to
lhc farm bureau which has been act
ing in an advisory capacity.
As the farm bureau III the past
mad been connected with the affair,
the present management felt that it
should do all it could to protect the
farmers and consequently formed
an association and hired an attor-
ncy TO represent their interests.
Thruogh their efforts much money
has been saved the farmers who
would otherwise have had to pay
the full face value Of the notes.
