next week according to present plans.
Walter Neldner, the new receiver, is
handicapped, In his work by the per
sistency of the depositors Interested,
in detaining him with interviews and
anxious inquiries. It is only natural
that such should be the case, but the
more privacy the depositors give Mr.

actual conditions. ' -. '
The schedule will be prepared, but
before it is ready for the comptroller,
the receiver will call to. the bank for
mer employes and -other competent
men who will fix the value on various
articles that are to be turned In as
assets. Mr. Neldner says this will be
done within the next five days if the
