2 Banks Paw
DepositOrs
$142,5Y

Checks for $142,579.39 were
sent to depositors of the North
east Savings Bank and the Wash
ington Savings Bank today by
Receiver Norman R. Hamilton.
The payment represented 10
per cent dividend for depositors
of both institutions.
In the case of the North East
Savings, the amount paid was
$107, 010.18 bringing total pay
ments to date to IS per cent of
the 81 ,070,101.89 on deposit at the
time the bank was closed and
leaving $160,515.36 still owing to
depositors.
Today'S 10 per cent dividend to
depoSitors of the washington Saw
ings Bank amounts to $35 ,569.21.
This brings the total payments to
date to $284,569.21 or 80 per cent
of the $685., 692.17 on deposit when
the bank was closed. There re-
mains to be paid ST., 138.49.
Provided claims in receiverShip
can be proved, it is indicated that
stockholders of the Potomac Saw
ings Bank will also receive a diVi-
dend next month.
According to present plans this
would amount to about 1851 1895 "a
or 1917 per cent Of the total OF
$2,O91 1851 on deposit when the
Potomac Bank was closed.
Commercial Plans
Hope for an additional dividend
also seems held out to depoSitors
of the Commercial National Bank,
according to Receiver BaldWin's
report made public today. Only
1925, 1928 have been collected in
the assessment of stockholders,
and the receiver estimates the I'M
collected stock assessments OF
$771,637.42 will only amount to
$27, 1850 in ultimate liquidation
value.
This and other uncollected as.
sets are estimated to be worth
$2,47l, 053.50 in ultimate liquida-
ton value. Deducting the balance
of $848,0 owed the RFC, there
remains roughly $1,500,0 900 or be-
tween 20 and IS per cent of the
$5,578,016.56 deposits in the bank
at time of closing.

COMAX COAL is produced by the Vancouv- CT Island Goals Limited, producers also of the fam ous Ladysmith Coal. We brought in sample sup ply of COMAX COAL on the recommendation of Mr. H. R. PiomEner General Manager, who visit ed Nome last summer.
 After Investigating local conditions Mir. Plom- mer advised the introduction of COMAX COAL on the ground of Economy and Efficiency. He pro- duced facts showing considerable saving cOmpar- ed with oil burning. COMAX COAL is extremely high in heating value and because of its strong coke qualities, is onglasting. It is not recommend ed that this coal should be used except in those places where healthy draft is available and in this regard it should not be inferred because the draft is on the fire, that the fire is burning to waste Of course, if the heat is not required there is purpose in exciting fierce fire, but if requir- ed the mere of the oxygen from the atmosphere that can be consumed with the coal, the better the results.
