Unofficial Meeting of Silverton
Bank Depositers Stirs Debate
SILVERTON Heated arguments flew back and forth between
depositors and trustees Tuesday night when 40 depositors of the Old
Coolidge it McClaine bank attended a meetirg at the Silverton cham
ber of commerce rooms. The bank was closed in the moratorium
in 1933.
F. E. Sylvester, local attorney arid real estate broker, had ar
ranged the meeting, and D. E.
Gesier was asked to serve as sec
retary. Early in the discussion' it
developed that Sylvester was not
a depositor and as he had failed
to state whom he was representing
nq official meeting could be held.
E. L- Starr and C. E Jorgenson,
two trustees for the depositors,
were present and explained they
had received no .otice of the
meeting and had merely seen a
notice of it in newspapers.
They added they were neither
prepared nor at liberty to give a
' report at a meeting not called by
bonafide depositors. A request
for such a meeting and reDort
! should be made in writing, they
I - aid. However, Starr explained,
' preparation of "a proper re
port would cost something and
it- e i.r no funds left with which
to pay this."
Receives No Salary
Starr further explained that the
j late M. G. Gunderson, secretary j
! to the depositors, had received no j
I pi-v since Julv. 1945. althoueh I
he had written the last dividend
J payment on March 5. 1946. Prior
to 1945, Gunderson hadreceived
$150 a month to serve as secretary.
All real estate has been disposed
of and all dividend checks made
out for funds now available, Starr
answered when questioned. Only
funds sufficient to cover checks
which had been written out on or
prior to March 5, 1946, were left,
he said, adding that several such
checks had not been called for but
were available at the old offices
in the Masonic temple.
W. R. Tomison, one of the de
positors present, complained of
the v "indifference of the trustees
when squerried about the funds"
and staged that "when he asked
Mr. Gunderson for information
he alwaysfailed to give a direct
answer."'
J Starr explained that the agree
ment betweenNhe old bank and
the depositors hatbeen signed be
fore the trustees were named and
that this agreement signed "awa
all rights" of the depositors but
i that the trustees could ot be held
j responsible for this as Vwe have
f received the same percentage of
' our deposits as all you other de-
positors have received
The amount received was ap
proximately 78 per cent, Stater
said, explaining that 50 per cenf
oi tne savings ana zu oi xne com
mercial accounts had been pvi
when the agreements were signed.
