Piainville News e B, NATIONAL BANK MAY SEEK NEW CHARTER Directors Believe It Should Be- | come a Trust Company STOCKHOLDERS 10 AgT Man Who Is Alleged to Have Out- witted Policeman Will Be gGiven Hearing Tomorrow—Levon Harris May Go to Soldier's Home. Is there demand for a trust com- pany in Plainville? This important question has been asked and answered in the affirmative by the. directors of the First National bank of this town and they have decided to put the matter up to the stock-holders with a strong recommendation for the change in charter. The acted upon at a meeting the bank directors Jdast Friday night and it was voted to communi- cate the decision at once to the stock holders, explaining the vital reasons for the proposed change and asking them to attend a special bank meet- ing September 24, when the question will be voted on. The local bank has done a splen- did business since it was instituted in 1908, Both the commercial and sav- { ings departments met with ready pa- ear has seen mater- ial progress with many new depositors. Today the bank has over 2,200 de- positors and enjoys the outmost con- fidence of Plainville people. But withal, the bank officials have found that the limited nowers of a National bank charter prevent the in- stitution frem serving the financial necds of the town to the fullest. Fre- quently the bank officials are ap- proached with regard to mortgage loans. People who seek to borrow money for such ligitimate investments as homes, blocks and business build- ings have to be refused and advised to seek financial help in neighboring towns. And all this in face of the fact that the local bank has plenty of funds constantly accruing from its saving deposifors. Had the bank a trust charter the problem would be solved and the bank’s funds could be invested right at home in Plain- ville where the money is produced. Such a charter would also give the local bank power to act as executor of estates and as guardian and trus- tee of .preperty or money left in trust. None of these desirable things can be done under the present national bank charter and the pro- position in brief calls for its relin- guishment in favor of a trust charter. e offic: letter to the stock holders, explaining the matter in de- tail follows: “To the Stockholders National Bank “There has been a continuous and insistent demand for banking facili- ties in the Town of Plainville, bevond that granted under a national bank charter. “The principal tronage and cach of the First | demands are for worthy legitimate loans on homes, real estate and buildings; there has been some small demand for the in- stitution to act as executor or trustee of estates, and execute trust, fiduciary or otherwise but owing to the restric- tions placed upon us by the Federal banking charter we have mnot been permitted to make loans of this nature cr execute deeds of trust. ‘“When the ncw federal reserve banking act went into effect, it sanc- tioned loans on real estate inasmuch as the act provides for national bank- ing institutions to loan on farm prop- crty; this does not fully cover our par- ticular needs because of the fact that village property can not be classed as farm loans. The act did provide how- ever for trust companies and state banking institutions to become mem- bers of the system giving every ad- vantage a national bank may enjoy and without restrictions as to their present privileges under charter of the state. “The First National was incorpor- ated in 1908, and has exercised every banking privilege under charter; has served the community well as a national bank. Both its commercial and savings departments have shown an increase each yvear which is an in- dication of the growth and demands of the home people, and to meet this growth, it would seem desirable that the national bank change its charter to that of a trust company that it may better accommodate local applicants for lcans on their homes and to do such other business as can be done by ust company. hin the last vear and a half there have been ten new trust com- panies formed in the state: one or two rnational banks have relinquished their charters and become trust companies or merged into trust companies. This shows an economic growing demand for institutions over that of our pres- ent national charter, and with this on the part of the directors to. serve the | community more efficiently and cconimically, it is unanimously recom- mended that the present charter be relinquished and a trust company charter be secured instead. “Acting on this recommendation, you will find enclosed a proxy which you are requested to fill out and re- turn if you canot attend the meeting in person. “You will also find a copy of resolu- tion passed by the board of directors to be acted upon at a special meeting czlled for that purpose. “Respectfully, “J.
