BANK ASKS COURT
VIEW ON LIABILITY
Potomac Savings Receiver
Presses for Decision
on Assessments.

Norman r. Hamilton, receiver for
the Potomac Savings Bank, today
asked the Supreme Court to review
the lower court decisions here holding
that shareholders of this bank are not
subject to double liability
Chartered in Virginia, which carries
no double liability to authorize assess
ment of stockholders in case Of failed
banks, the Potomac Savings. which
has been closed since March. 1888 to-
day was paying out an additional divi-
dend Of 1917 per cent at l406 q street,
the once Of the receiver.
This second dividend, which brings
total dividends paid out of this bank
up to 621a per cent, was made possible
without using any funds from stock
assessment. Stockholders fought as
sessment IN court and won favorable
decision in District Supreme Court,
and in the United States Court Of Ap-
peals for the District of Columbia,
which held that since the bank was
chartered in Virginia and Virginia law
provided for no double liability, the
shareholders were not subject 70 as
sessnent. Today the receiver appealed
to the Supreme Tribunal for a writ Of
certiorari to review these decisions.
Many persons called at the receivers
Office on G street today for their sec
end dividend, but there were no crowds,
principally due to the plan Of the re-
ceiver of asking depositors to call in
groups of 1000 a day for eight days.
Depositors must present not only their
cards of notification, Mr.. Hamilton
emphasized. but also their conserva-
tors certificates. Several depositors
who called without their certificates
today were unable as yet to get the
checks which were ready for them. A
new procedure win have to be worked
out for those who hsve lost or de-
Stroyed their conservators certificates.
