ton and its problems are perhaps
more serious than those of any
other county in the state"
The blanket order calling a halt on
WPA projects due to lack of funds has
directly affected more than $50 work
ers in Sheridan county, it was estim-
ated today. The halt on projects was
called Tuesday.
According to payroll figures here,
755 workers have been regularly en-
ployed on various county projects. The
slashirg reduction has brought unem-
%ployment to 66l with 81 remaining on
WPA JOBS.
A quota of S8 workers was first al
loted Sheridan county, but an in
crease has been made to lis. The in
crease consists OF town cases that can
not qualify for resettlement aid.

about $50 WPA workers will stay OH

Halt at Dams
Work has temporarily stepped at
two dams in Sheridan county which
have been under construction by WPA
labor. Work Tuesday was suspended
at the Carol dam northwest Of Plen-
tywood and also at the dam near Ray
mond. It was estimated that about one
third Of the work on the two projects
had been completed when the halt was
called. Assurance has been given, it
has been stated, that the shutdown on
the two projects of major concern to
this section will be only temporary.

Resettlement Administration, charged

the majority of workers under the
WPA.

and Resettlement officials in an effort
to have them allocate sufficient funds
to properly care for all people in need.
They have advised me that in accord

be allowed to suffer. Their funds are
running low ard they are e~ndeavoring
to appropriate additional money"

ATTY. GENERAL
ANNOUNCES RULE
Bank Directors Trustees
Protected By Statute
of Limitations

In an opinion for the state
Banking Department, Attorney
General Edward J. DAILY has ruled
that Savings bank director or
trustee who has approved an IL
legal mortgage loan on real estate
without being aware Of It's illegality
Is protected by the statute Of limi-
tatoins from the time the loan was
made.
II on the other hand the director
or trustee knew Of the illegality OF
the loan, the statute OF limitations
does not begin 10 operate until the
illegality IL discovered. The ruling
applies 10 directors or trustees OF
building and loan associations also.
The question asked was. when
does the statute of limitations be-
gin 10 operator" Definite rules for
the making Of loans secured by
real cstaet mortgages by savings
banks are laid down by Section 1000
Of the General Statutes. II pro-
vides that each director or trus-
tee nall be individually respon-
sible for any loss which may occur
on account Of the making Of such
Loan" The statute lays an active
duty on each member Of the board
and breach could not be conaid-
cred more passive neglect" ccord-
ing tot he opinion whcih was writ

Richard y. Corkey.

Trade, Finance
/. In the field of trade and finance
a similar encouraging situation has
prevailed. The number OF COM
inercial failures In New England, de-
creased by Is per cent between
1925 and 1895. Department store
sales increased 10 per cent. as did
sales OF retail stores generally. Com
mercial loans have been running
substantially ahead OF 1885 and this
upward trend will probably be sils-
tanned during 1887.
These figures show what sub
stantial progress has been made for
the year 1895 toward industrial
prosperity In New England. There
Is, however, a greater gain that
cannot be measured automatically
