H. Trumbull Assurés Public That Rumors Are False STREET PETITION ISSUED Petition Prepared for Building Line— Brock-Barnes Post Holds Meeting —Busy Bees to Hold Meeting— Forestville News—Other Items. Assuring the gepositors and the general public as well that there is no foundation for wild rumors which khave been in circulation regarding newly discovered discrepancies in the books of the Plainville Trust com- pany, Senator John H Trumbull, president of the stitution, this morning issued a signed statement in which he declared that the books are out of balance exactly $4,980.68, the amount reported to the bank months ago. Senator Trumbull further declared that a complete check is being made of the records in the bank commis- sioners’ office in Hartford in an effort tc determine the cause of the dis- crepancy and as soon as it is located a complete report will be given to the public. The discrepancy was first discov- ered by the bank officials before their annual meeting and the matter was reported by them to the bank com- The latter examined the records and subsequently issued a statement that they were out of bal- ance $4,980.68. With the exception of this difference they found the ! books in proper shape and they advis- passed as it now stands, it is prac- | A number of the taxpavers ¢# the | | even ill who has been critically ill con- | ed that there was no cause whatever for alarm on the part of the depos- itors as the bank had a surplus far in excess of the amount which the dis- | crepancy covered. Reports of shortage in funds have been circulated but the directors state they are not even certain that the $4,980 discrepancy shortage as the possibility of a mis- take in bookeeping exists. Difficulty in checking the records has been experienced because of the refusal of a discharged bookkeeper, in whose department the discrepancy exists, to make any _statement or to render ‘any assistance in locatng the error. Consequently the books have to be checked back over a considerable period and for that reason the work is very slow, =oon as it is finished, however, Pres dent Trumbull promises a complete report in which the trouble will be cleared up. Trumbull’s Statement. President Trumbull's signed state- | ment, which is also authorized by the board of directors, is as follows: ‘“‘Recently there have been rumors current that the original discrepancy reported in the balance at the bank of $4,980.68 is not the exact amount, but that there was a much larger dis- crepancy. “It is unfortunate indeed that ru- mors of this kind should find ready listeners. If the people of Plainville would stop and reason for a moment and take into account the past his- tory of the bank—what it has accom- plished, and what it stands for in the community, we believe rumors of this nature would not be given credence. “The bank was first organized in 1909 as The First National Bank of Plainville, and later was changed to The Plainville Trust company in or. der to give a broader scope to its ac- tivities and thereby 2be the better enabled to serve the town It has consistently and steadily progressed and, in addition to paying dividends, has accumulated surplus and undi- vided profits of over $33,000.00. “The present board of directors and officers are those originally con- | nected with the institution, and have served the bank faithfully since its inception without renumeration, their only payment being in seeing the bank grow and become a benefit to the town. “The discrepancy of $4,980.68 which | s recently discovered might easily luuve been written off from surplus and undivided profits and no men- tion made of the matter and no one would have been any the wiser. How- ever, it has not been the policy of the bank officials to handle business matters in this way, and a determined and persistent effort has been and is being made to determine the cause of the discrepancy. In order to locate this, it means a complete check of | all the records made by the bank for ! the past year, and same is now being done in the bank commissioner's office in Hartford. “The bank commissioner has issued a signed statement that they find all the accounts of the bank in proper shape, with the exception of the dif- ference mentioned, and the officials «f the bank wish to state emphatical- ly at this time that the amount speci- | fied is the only discrepancy that has | occurred, and in due time, they hope locate it. “It is the desire of the directors of the bank to take into their confi- { dence the depositors and partons of { the bank and assuyre them of every | reasonable banking courtesy. i “The directors wish to take this | occasion to assure the depositors and eople that there js bso town is a|d The bank is financially safe.and sound and has been so pronounced by the bank commissioners. “All t town’s people and depositors_have a little patience until the audit has been completed at which time a complete statement will e issued, not only for the benefit of the depositors, but for the town’s people as well ™ School Traffic Officers. Traflic officers have been installed at the Plainville Grammar school and are composed of the older boys and girls of the higher grades. Principal Orrin L. Judd organized a body of ' 24 pupils to oversee the children in their marching to and from the build- ing dvring school time at recess. This process relieves the teachers of the former duty as monitor at the halls and the basement, and has met with much success. There are no accidents on the steps or in the playground as the young officers at- tend to their duties with enthusiasm. They take care of the ringing of the bells, hoisting the flag and various, other duties that had taken the time of the teachers or principal. Mr. Judd entertained the entire force last night at the showing of Charles Chaplin in “The Kid.”" at the Palacc theater at New Britain. Ladies’ Auxiliary Meeting. The Ladies’ Auxiliary to the Brock- Barnes post will hold its regular meet- ing tonight at‘the home of Mrs. Har- riet Barnes of Broad All members are urged to attend.

The members of the Martha Re- bekah lodge enjoyed an entertain- ment at its regular meeting last night at the I. O. O. F. hall. Discussions were held relating to the coming cel- ebration of the 25th anniversary of the orgunization. There were no defi- | nite plans made but committees will be selected soon to arrange for a program. Town Clerk’s Report. Town Clerk Usher has compiled th~ Vital Statistics for the town for the month of February. - It is as follows: Births, eight; deaths, four, two in the | town and two in hospitals in other cities, and four marriages. A new petition for the establishing of a building line on both sides of Whiting sireet, long under considera- tion, has been prepared and signed by Henry Trumbull, Postmaster Peter J. Prior, and Emmon Gridley of Broad and Whiting streets. F, L. Benzon clerk for the town plans commission, received the papers to- day and will make preparations about the latter part of this week for the calling of a special meeting to hear arguments presented. It is pos- sible that the meeting will be held in two weeks. The petition calls for a building line on Whiting street from Central Square, starting from the Neri block on the east side, to Broad street; and from property surround- ing the post office on the west side of = Z=cd DD he directors ask is that the ' . St. ! Rev. =< oV RS TV 2 hEs e A (CD)Reen the street to Broad stret. This will cover a large territory and plans are being made to widen it from 58 feet to 7" feet. The town plans to build the street to Broad street. This will buildings on Whiting street on the sections now under question, and this will necessitate having a proper street i line made on which to erect buildings. Post Holds Meeting The Brock-Barnes post held a regular meeting last night when plans were made for future activ It was voted to have John Guiden, former adjutant of the post, attend as a delegate, the conference at New Haven on March 12, when a hearing on the state bonus fund will take place. It will be held at the Hotel Taft. The propostion of purchasing a building lot for the erection of a club house in the near future, was discuss- ed. The committce appointed to take care of this matter made a report. A suitable site w: found on Crown street, a piece of the Russell estate, ow for sale by the Phelan agency at Bristol, and hopes were held out for the transaction of business on it. However, the price asked proved to be too high for the committee and this site was left oui of the question. | Another tract of land on Neal Court was under consideration but the com- mittee was against it also in price. The post desires a suitable place near the center within reach of all mem- bers and if one can be secured at a sonable offer, the deal will be made.
