NEW NAME GIVEN
T0MERGED BANKS
Mechanics and Mt. Vernon
to Be Called "City Bank
of Washington"

The Washington Mechanics Saw
ings Bank, which has absorbed the
Mount Vernon Savings Bank and
plans to reopen the Franklin Ma
tional Bank by about the middle Of
April, will change its name to the
City Bank of Washington.
This came to light today as the
Treasury Department notified Clar-
ence F. Burton, president Of the
Mechanics Bank. of its official ap-
proval of the new name.
The new name has been agreed to
by the board of directors of the
Washington Mechanics Savings
Bank, the old Mount Vernon Saw
ings Bank and the Franklin National
Bank. and will be submitted to the
annual meeting of stockholders of the
Mechanics Bank April 10. Mr.. Burton
said. There is no doubt about the
forthcoming approval of the stock
holders.
The new name will not take effect
until after the meeting of the stock
holders. however.
The Washington Mechanics Saw
ings Bank was chartered in the State
of Virginia in 1906, and has been
operating in the District of Colum-
bia under the same name ever since,
without restriction. expanding to
four and, finally with the acces-
sion Of the Mount Vernon Bank, as
headquarters, into five banking houses.
Addition of the Franklin National
Bank, at Tenth street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue. will give the institu-
ton six banking houses under the
new name. The branch of the Frank
lin Bank on Connecticut avenue will
not be used by the City Bank of
Washington.
Since the bank charter rests in
Virginia, it was necessary also to get
approval of that State before making
q change. The Corporation Com
mission Of Virginia was notified and.
after investigation. sent word to Mr..
Burton that the new name was
available"

learned today, went to the Treasury
Department in an effort to see Con-
troller Of the Currency O'Connor in
person. In his absence, however, they
registered their protest. and we're
promised, 1t is understood, that no
further action would be taken until
the controller personally could look
into the matter.

National Bank so per cent of their
deposits. Assets representing the re-
naming values in the old bank, be-
longing to the depositors, were kept

great inconvenience to them The
directors also claim the bank could
be liquidated more economically in
the present location. They claim. in
addition. that promise was made
that they would be allowed to liqui-
date and that the assets would not
be taken into a new receivership.
The bank is open and doing busi-
ness successfully as a branch of the
Hamilton National Bank, under man.
agement of E. L. Norris, who is also
conServator OF the old assets. which
do not belong to the Hamilton Bank.
Out of these old assets the deposit

when they will receive it depend, not
only on the liquidation Of the assets.
