State Executive Takes Ac
tive Part in Decision in
r Astoria Case
Thi state banking board, by
a tot of 2 to 1. Monday sustained
the decision of A. A. Schramm,
state sooeriateadent of banks,
who refnsed to grant a charter for
the orososed Astoria State bank.
GoTernor Norblad, a resident ol
Astoria, voted to grant the char
ter. State Treasurer Kay aad See
rotary of 8tata Hoss roted te a
bold the decision ot the state
banking saperiateadeat.
The application for the charter
was filed by C. O. Gingrich, Che
balis banker, and a number of
prominent lower Columbia river
citizens. At the time JlT. Schramm
refused to grant the charter the
s appltcaats appealed to the state
banklnr board and a hearing was
held here two weeks age.
State Treasurer Kay said he
was compelled to vote against the
establishment of the proposed
new bank as the result of person
al inTettigations and reports Of the
national, federal reserve and
state banking examiners. These
examiners testified at the hear
ing two weeks ago that the time
had not yet arrived when a third
bank should be established in As
toria. Secretary of State Hoss, ia an
Independent lnrestlgattoa, said ho
was 'compelled to Join with State
Treasurer Kay la voting to sus
tain the decision of the state su
perintendent ot banks.
Governor Norblad declared that
bej-was familiar with conditions la
Astoria, aad felt that a third sank
was justified. He said he did aot
base this assertion oa the present
population of Astoria, but that it
was the center ot a large banking
district.
' Norblad also pointed out that
mere than 11,300,000 is now In
vested In postal savings certifi
cates In the Astoria district. Much
oft this money would be available
for the new bank, Governor Nor
blad said.
