BANKS REOPEN
THROUGH HELP
OF DEPOSITORS
Three Closed Institutions in
Youngstown Saved
by Cooperation.

By Scripps-Hoioard NccspoDer AHiance
YOUNGSTOWN, O., July Ion
Oct a. 1881, Youngstown's three
largest banks, with deposits of 500
100000, failed to open.
BY Thursday Of this week all
these banks will have been reopened.
Back Of these facts, believed to
constitute something of record in
bank recovery, is story of COM
munity effort and cooperation.
On the morning of Oct. ID, 1881
youngstown awakened to find that
only two Of its five large banks
were doing business. Both together
were about the size of any one of
the three closed Institutions.
The larger of the two remaining
banks, the Mahoning National, was
IN good condition. Persons &C
quainted with the banking situation
knew that the other, the CONNER
cial National was tottering and
that its failure probably would be
only a matter of days or weeks.
Strain Too Great
It was the same story that had
been told in many other commu-
mites Building and loan associa-
tions had ceased paying money to
depositors. Bank depositors rapidly
were withdrawing their funds. The
banks could not stand the strain.
before the day was over, plans
were under way for bank reopen
ings DepoSitors' meetings we're
held in various sections of the COM
munity. Work was started first on
the First National bank, third Oldest
national bank in America.
Stockholders and depositors got
together Federal bank examiners
added their cooperation Stock
holders took big losses. New stock
was sold. Some large deposits were
promised. The Commercial Nation
a was absorbed and depositors in
that institution saved.
A new bank known as the Union
National was chartered and opened
in the banking rooms Of the old
First National. A federal bank ex-
aminer was made president. De-
positorS did not lose a penny.
DepOsitOrs Give Help
The problem of the other two
banks was more difficult. It was
necessary there to tie up some de-
posts over period of time. To do
this, 1t was necessary to obtain
consent of the depoSitors. These
two banks, the Dollar and the City.
were state banks with thousands of
small depositors.
The task Of obtaining depositors
consents for the reopening of the
Dollar and the City was conducted
like a Community Chest drive.
Teams we're appointed. Depositors
we're called on by volunteer solicit
tors, through the mails and news
papers.
This task consumed months, but
1t went ahead Steadily and sue
cessfully In each instance, ap-

CITY UTILITIES
RULE is MADE
EASIER BY BILL
Measure in Senate Enables
Municipality to Retire
Bonds With Profits.

Removal Of barriers to municipal
ownership Of utilities is the objec-
tive of senate bill presented by
Senator c. Herman Pell (Rep)
Carbon.
Under it's provisions, utility may
be purchased by municipality
through q bond issue and the bonds
retired from operation profits.
Heretofore, with the exception Of
water plants, city has had to bond
itself to make such purchases and
often was barred by the 2 per cent
constitutional restriction on bonded
indebtedness.
Bills requiring the same utility
valuation to be used for tax assess
ments and rate making have been
introduced in both houses.
A house bill to take jurisdiction
over municipality utilities
away from the public service COM
mission and place it in the hands
of local city councils or boards of
trustees also has been introduced.
Backed DIV SLdIe League
The measure is backed by the Mu-
nicipal Rights League of Indiana.
First bill introduction challenged
in either house of the legislature
was a measure introduced in the
senate Monday afternoon calling for
repeal of the 1881 statute requiring
the use of Indiana coal in all state
public institutions.
The bill was presented by Sena-
tor Frank S. Southworth (Rep0,
Plymouth, and challenged by Sena-
tor William B. Hoadley (RepD
Bloomington, on the grounds that
its purpose was not a matter of
special session action.
A roll call vote obtained the
bills admission, but Hoadley had it
referred to the committee on mines
and mining, where he expects it to
be killed.
GrocerS Fight Bill
Township trustees would be en-
abled to abandon high schools upon
petitions signed by one-half of the
legal voters of the township, if a
bill introduced by Representative
William E. Wilson DemD, Green
field, is enacted.
Authority is given trustees to
send children attending high schools
to similar schools within or outside
the township lines at his discretion.
Wilson declared this to be an econ
omy measure where the number OF
high school students is too small to
make worthwhile the upkeep of
separate high school,
Opposition to the commissary
plan of distribution of poor relief,
as provided in a house bill, was
voiced Monday night by the Indian
apolis Retail Grocers Association.
The association met at 927 North
Meridian street. 1t also was decided
to fight the proposed 10 cents a
pound tax on oleomargarine.

proximately 80 per cent of the de-
positorS signed the agreements.
The final boost was given by the
Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton, which made loans to both of
the banks. But without community
cooperation and months of work,
neither could have been reopened.
The Dollar bank reopened two
months ago, freeing all checking
accounts and part of the savings
accounts. The City bank will open
July IA. freeing part of it's check
ing accounts and part of its savings
accounts. The remainder of these
accounts will be freed gradually as
conditions warrant.
There will be no losses to any de-
positor, although in each instance
stockholders have sustained heavy
losses.

record of building and loan companies

that the number of banks laid low by

pointing out that stocks and bonds had
