O'Brien, the superintendent, and will cost approximately $12,000 During the present year nurses' home is to be built and roadways are to| be laid about the main building.

Mr. Potter still rétiins a connection with the bank, however and his advice and counse] are-available. The new treasurer is Sidney Bard, an gkperienced banker who has been with the institution for a long term of years and is wholly familiar with its business and system. During the few months that Mr. Bard has directed the affdirs of the bank it has shown the same steady gain in strength and deposits as marked the period of Mr. Potter's administration. The past month this bank has adoptel what is an innovation for it in organizing a Christmas club which many have Joined.
