During the past few days meetings have been held by both directorates, and the general pian of consolidation has been approved. Appraisers havv been appointed, as the first step in this direction, and it is believed these plans will be fully consummated during the next two weeks. Similar consolidations are being undertaken by the supervising agencies of banks in North Carolina. Naturally, such operations must first have the approval of the Federal as well as the State authorities, as these banks ar** oneratinp- nmicr fbn deposit guaranty of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and in some instances, where preferred stock has been subscribed by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. Such consolidations do not mean the withdrawal nor the diminution of commercial banking facilities in any community where now established. On j the contrary, it really means the strengthening and increasing of such facilities. If the present proposed consolidation is carried through, banking facilities at both Blowing Rock and Boone will be maintained and increased, from their present operating : points.
