MECHANICS STOCK
SALE PROCEEDING
Rapid Progress Made Under
Plan to Take Over Mt.
Vernon Savings.

Sale OF stock in the enlarged wash
ington Mechanics Savings Bank was
reported today to be proceeding rapidly
under plans by which the Mechanics
Bank will take over the Mount Vernon
Savings Bank
The stock is being offered by both
participating institutions at $40 share,
$40 of which goes to par value and $40
to surplus to build up an addition to
the capital structure of the Mechanics
Bank of 100000.
Printers Get Waivers.
Waivers to be signed by Mount YER
non depositors are In the hands Of
printers, and it is expected that unless
there is delay, the first of these will
be put in the mail Wednesday. Details
of the plan as outlined in these waivers
are being kept by officers of both banks
until the waivers themselves are mailed
to depositors.
Generally speaking, the plan provides
for the depoSitorS to waive part OF
their deposits in order to obtain the
remainder, to be made available in
cash when the Mount Vernon reopens
as a part of the Washington Mechanics
Savings Bank.
Meanwhile, the Franklin National
Bank is bringing ltS ef1Ort 10 reopen 10
climax.
With a new policy under considera-
ton this morning at meeting of bank
officials, they planned to go to the
Treasury Department this afternoon in
the hope of working out a program
which would permit the bank to reopen
Official Approval Delayed.
The plan for opening was approved
recently by Controller of the Currency
OConnor, but until today this plan had
not met with approval by bank officials
who, it was said, have prepared few
proposals Of their own which they hope
will meet with Treasury sanction.
The Franklin Bank has been on a
restricted basis since March IA. when
it was refused a license to resume full
operations. Efforts have been made to
align this institution with some other
banks in a merger, but bank officials
have been stoutly contending for the
right to reopen the bank alone.
