Wednesday’s ac- tion has been anticipated, so it was not a surprise. The consolidation will be brought about in accordance with the laws of the state provided for such cases and it is expected it will be compieted by July 1. & 1t will undoubtedly be a benefit to the community in general and to the depositors of the Windham County Savings bank in particular, for the strength and credit of the Brooklyn Savings bank may be considersd as applied to the Windham County Sav- ings bank which was organized in the early 60s. The announcement that the consol- idation IS to be effective was received with - great satisfaction by the depos- itors here of the bank to be absorbed.
