the total was at least $3,000,000.
Possibility of the organization

suggested in talks from the floor.
Kept Separate Records
Another "leak" regarding the
muddled affairs of the Park
Savings is that Stunz, who per-
sonally handled the affairs of
many of the banks depositors,
kept separate records. and that
he failed to deposit money left
with him.
PaSsbooks of number of Gus
toners we're left in his posses
sion. Of these the amounts left
for deposit would be duly en-
tered but the funds themselves
would not be placed in the bank.
It is said that a large part of
such money was used to clear off
paper" to which bank examiners
objected.
The unofficial records Stunz
kept for his own convenience III
a special drawer in his desk would
be concealed in a bank vault at
the appearance of the examiners,
it is claimed.
Committee Appointed
A permanent committee of
stockholders consisting of Col.
Robert H. Young, John c. Drake,
S. H. Hines, William J. Neale,
Lyle Cooke and j. w. Thompson,
was named by the Rev. DR..
George F. Dudley, pastor of the
st. Stephen and the Incarnation
Episcopal Church, who presided.
This committee will continue the
investigation and seek settlement
of the banks affairs.
The bank is now conducted by
a conservator, and probably will
be placed in receivership.
The organization committee of
the proposed Hamilton National
Bank, encouraged by the results OF
the stock subscription campaign
in the past week, has decided to
proceed with details for the Off
cial set-up of the organization.
Assets To Be Studied
A committee has been named
to pass on the assets of the
seven local restricted institutions
whose prime" assets are to be
merged in the new $1,250.000
bank and another group will de-
eide which of the 10 buildings
of the banks concerned in the
merger will be used as branches
