SITUATION HERR Williams Explains Organization . . ■ To Mass Meeting (At City Hall Monday Night. $50,000 CAPITAL STOCK A mass meeting- of the citizens of | the town was held in the City Hall on ' last Mondhy night to discuss and make plans for the organization, of a bank | in Sanford. The meeting was held on* | der the auspices of the Sanford Busi ness Association, President T. 3, Cross presiding, ang Myron Under , wood acting as secretary. The object of the meeting was explained! by W. R. Williams, chairman! of the bank committee, which has been working for the past few weeks to got a bank, organized and in operation is Sanford. Mr. Williams bad been informed by - Gurney P. Hood, State Bank Commis sioner, that the way was clear for the citizens of Sanford to go ahead and organize a local bank without waiting for the • Guaranty Trust Company to - * & complete its organization-and).set up banks in the various - towns where , banks had been operated byi the three big banking concerns—the North Caro Una Bank and Trust Company, of Greensboro; the Independence Trust Company, of Charlotte, and the Page .. Trust Company, of Aberdeen- , Mr. Williams went to Washington where he made a study of national banking and gaine^ much' inforpiaton about how to set up and operate a national bank. He went into detail and explain ed both State and national, banking: haystema. It semed. that'those who heard Mr. Williams’. ■ explanation of j thettwo systems, favored organizing a national bank in fSanford if we are judge i>y the way they voted. The vote bn the proposition to set hg'A , national or federal hank seemed to be " unanimous. There seems to be tohre . safeguards thrown around the national ^.than,.the State baniq^js-systeim W.ueii ig and tlie f I zation of a bank seemed good. Ail seemed to be thoroughly convinced ’ that the town could never go forward ’ without the organization of a bank. II Many questions were put to Mr. Williams about the plan of organiza tion and all were answered promptly and intelligently. He stated that it would be necessary to raise stock to the amount of $50,000 before the pro posed bank can be organized and put in operation. He stated that the Re construction Finance Corporation had given assurance of a subscription of fifty per cent in preferred stock of a bank here, with a capital of not less than $50,000. O. P. Makepeace, who was called on to discuss the matter, first discussed the question of a tobacco warehouse. 11 He saw the necessity of a warehouse ': as well as a bank. He predicted that j if the two were bu It we would see ! better days in Sanford. 1 It w^as decided to appoint a com mittee whose business will be to sign I the application for a bank and go to L Washington and file it. After this is • (done a representative of the Federal ( Government will be sent to Sanford 1 in a few days to set up the bank and see that it is started off according to national banking rules and regulations, i ( The question of continuing the present l committee to handle the matter was ■ discussed, but it was decided to ap * point a new committee for the work ► of soliciting stock for the bank. The l following committee was appointed: s D. C. Lawrence, Chairman; W. R. : | Williams, E. M. Underwood, J. C. Muse, H. A. Palmer, W R Hartnese, j T. S.

Prom time to time they propose te add others to this commit , tee here and there over the county. It is proposed that this shall be a county as well as a town bank. The work of soliciting stock will be push ed and it i> hoped that everything will be in shape to organize the bank be fore the cotton and1 tobacco markets open this fall.
