stables. We used TO see him down
ct Charley sacketts place on South
Main 81. opposite Union street. In
tho days when Charley had some
slick looking rubber tired turnouts;
then we might sec him the next
day sitting around Hank Loucks's
stables on the south end Of Spring
street, originally the property OF
Charley Fem, whose stables OF 30
years ago contained some OF the
best OF the driving horses for hire
In tho city; often we'd see him up
at Norton's on Phoenix avenue, but
not until after Emil Pollak and
Halsey Curtis had secured control
Of the property. No matter what,
II you ever wanted TO find Johnny
0rogan, you could always locate
him In and about the places as
mentioned. South Main 81. and
scovill 81. were his favorite haunts.
fo had q loud voice, and some times
when you couldn't see him, why you
lust heard him. And his frequent
laughs often were heard for some
distance away. Years ago, no was
also observed sitting around Bill
ouigley's popular blacksmith shop
on Jefferson 81. They used 10 say
that more horses were shod at
ouigley's than the combined similar
shops OF the city. II was certainly
fascinating and attractive place
for the nejghborhood boy OF years
ago.
Johnny drcgan was always q
cripple, and 10 he had TO ply his
way with O pair Of clutches. Every.
thing was done for him by his good
parents In their day OF life upon
earth. He never wanted for thing,
not even TO the end. He was q gradu-
ate Of the old waterbury High
school OF School street, during the
reign OF the late Minot O. CROSBY
as superintendent and principal, ana
was classed as O high grade student
Eventually, he went to bookkeeping,
and was employed In this capacity
at times by various business con-
Germs OF the city.
Some recall the day OF the early
eighties when Johnny and other
high SCnOOl bJuuelVo Sohba "s"i"s~~
the little ones OF the Elm street
school for not having TO return IN the
afternoon ON account OF bad iire
which broke out In the building
during the morning session. Miss
White, one of the teachers In the
school at the time, still resides IN
waterbury. We never went TO schooi
anywhere exceut Out East, butwe
have often heard the tale OF the
Elm street school fire from the lips
Of Johnny himself.
Johnny 0organ had q sharp ton
que, a caustic tongue, but he was
sincere and thorough friend. HIS
hearty laugh, as we have explained,
was OF the kind that made ms INST
ners chuckle and shake with merri-
ment. No one could say Ill Of a
friend In his presence. He fought Tor
those whom he liked. and he wasn't
afraid to express his feeling Tor
those he disliked.
After all, he had q good heart,
and meant well.

BANK STATUS
CALL AWAITED

Washington banking circles ex-
pect that shortly after the end
of the month the Comptroller of
the Currency will issue a call for
statement Of condition Of the
banks as Of the close Of business
June 80.
Reports will give somewhat Of
a picture Of the entire fiscal year
and, especially, they will provide
a basis Of comparison with the
previous fiscal year, ended June
80. 1885.
The last call for statement of
condition was as of March 4, 1886,
at which time local banks showed
large deposit gains. Expectation
in financial circles yesterday was
that the call for condition as of
the close of business today, if
made, will disclose that further
gains in deposits have been regis
tered.
One factor influencing an in
crease will be the purchases made
locally by reason Of the recent
bonus disbursement. A consider
able amount of cash has been
spent here by recipients Of bonus
payments. This cash, naturally,
finds it's way into bank deposits.
Twenty-one local banks will re-
port at the next call.

LINEAGE
SETS RECORD

Retail advertising lineage in the
newspapers of 66 major cities
broke all records for gains over the
preceding year during the week
ended June 20, according to Adver-
tiSing Age.
For that week, total retail adver-
tising in the reporting cities was
22.9 per cent ahead Of the cor
responding week Of 1885, the ac-
tual gain being 3,486,813 lines.
Total retail volume for the week
was 18,745, $50 lines, compared
with 15,258,637 lines last year.
While some Of this gain is at
tributable to better general bus
mess conditions, the vast bulk of
it was due to efforts of retailers
to secure their share of the bill
lions of bonus money distributed
to veterans during the week, Ad-
VertiSing Age asserts.
The huge increase for the week
substantially raised the total for
the year. From the first of the
year to date, retail advertising line
age in reporting cities totals 421,-
O63,171, compared with 402, ,463, 1923
lines last year. This is an In
crease Of 1S,599,842 lines, or 4.6
per cent.
