Burton Bank
Plans Branch
at Chester

CHESTER - Chester is to
have a bank which will be
opened around May /. The
First National Bank of Burton
has just been granted permiss-
ion by the Comptroller of the
Currency to open a branch
banking office at Chesterland
Officials of the Burton institu-
ton state that orders for equip
ment and supplies have been
placed and deliveries promised
for the opening date. This will
be the first branch to be es-
tablished by a Geauga County
bank.
The expansion program also
calls for an increase in the
banks capital. A special stock
holders meeting is being called
on March 4 to approve a four
for -one split in par value of
present stock, IS percent
stock dividend and the issuance
of $4,000 par value of new
stock. The new capital struc-
ture will include 5000 shares of
$25 par common stock, 100000
surplus and slightly over $92,-
600 undivided profits and re-
serves. The new stock will be
offered on pre-emptiVe rights
to present stockholders.
M. A. Fox, Executive Vice
Pres, states "The Chester Office
seems to be the logical answer
to our continually increasing
volume of business in western
Geauga county. The location
was selected after careful study
of traffic patterns, existing fac
ilities and population growth.
"We believe that Chesterland
has real business potential
and that West Geauga area is
deserving of its own banking
office. The directors and Off
GERS of the First National Bank
of Burton are proud to be able
to bring National banking serv-
ices to this rapidly growing
community"
Chester, Russell, Munson and
Newbury have shown remark
able gains in population in the
past few years and all lie
within convenient distance from
Chester. In addition, a large
part of Geauga county's many
commuters drive through Ches-
terland for their daily trips
to Cleveland offices and fact
ories. The operation is being
planned for convenient banking
facilities for nearby residents
and commuters alike.
The Burton Bank is well
known throughout Geauga coun-
ty, and celebrated its 50th an
niversary last year. Among the
first banks of northeastern Ohio
to be re opened after the
bank holiday in 1888, it has
shown remarkable growth. Total
assets in 1888 were $650,00O,
today it is just short of $5,00O,-
900. G. B. Fox has been direc-
tor since its founding and presi-
dent since 1911. M. A. Fox is
Vice President and
w. T. Clark is Cashier.

But the administration is
understood to be willing to
allow housing production to
drop back by about 10 per cent
from this years volume to the
lowest point in four years.
Government housing officials
have been talking for some
time about setting up new
mortgage patterns allowing
40-year mortgages for low-cost
housing and an increase in
maximum mortgage amounts
for moderate-priced house.
These steps also have been
under consideration by the

to be favored by a majority Of
committee members.
Key congressional opinion
also is understood to favor
measures which would help
to take up any slack resulting
from a decline in defense

year, and to view liberaliza-
ton Of housing aids as among
possibilities on this front.
Thus. if a combination Of
proposed Federal help and
economic conditions are as
favorable as administration
spokesmen recently have been
saying they expect them 10
be. the country's housing pro-

much more than 10 per cent
below this years level.
In the first 10 months Of
