ton at Federal-American

At the Federal-American National

now cleared with the decision by John
Poole. president and conservator, to re-
main at the difficult task of conservator
in order to realize as much as possible
from the assets of that institution for
the sake of its depositors. Mr. Poole
will not be an officer in the new Ham
ilton National Bank, but will devote
his entire time to the big problems OF
conservator of the Federal-American.
This was learned late yesterday when
it was announced by another official of
this bank that plans have virtually
been completed for the turning over of
$4,000 worth Of assets to the new

tors this sum as so per cent of the

would be left in Mr. Poole's hands
total of assets amounting to about So

this official said, to so handle this S.
100000 assets that the depositors will
get their remaining so cents on the
dollar and there will be something left
over for stockholders. This means that
the depositors after obtaining their first
so cents on the dollar shortly after the
bank opens would receive all of the
other so cents in case the assets pro-
duced enough cash.
