To our Depositors and Friends:
It is the wish of the under
signed in behalf of the stockhold
ers and employees of the Bank of
Beaverton, that the following in
formation be conveyed to you.
I keenly regret the necessity of
this letter to the many good friends
who we have been privileged to
serve during our twenty-one years
of business, because your friend
ship and confidence in us aided the
progress and growth of this in
stitution and this fine community.
Opening as a restricted bank af
ter the National Bank Holiday of
March 1933, because of circumstan
ces which r.o one could control,
we were faced with the difficult
task of removing those restrictions.
The success of this task depended
on the co-operation and support of
all parlies interested; officials of
the bank, the State Banking De-
parment and Depositors. A plan of
reorganization was necessary for
every restricted bank before it
could be released of its restrictions,
and a reorganization would have
been far better for the depositors
and community than a liquidation
and such proceedure was impossi
ble for the Bank of Beaverton.
However, the strenuous efforts
of the officials of this bank and
a large number of depositors to
wards a reorganization plan have
been blocked by a small group of
depositors.
A committee was appointed at
a meeting of the depositors held
in our High school on February
10, 1934, for the purpose of reor
ganizing the bank and this com
mittee worked faithfully on a re
organization plan, and a second
meeting of the depositors was call
ed and held in the High School,
April 12, 1934, and the following
plan was presented:
$5000.00 paid in by the old
stock holders, 507® of the res
tricted Savings Deposits and
307c of the restricted Com
mercial Deposits were to be
taken over by the reorganized
bank, and made available in
cash to the Depositors at the
time the reorgnized bank was
opened. The assets not taken
over by the reorganized bank
were to be placed in the hands
of three Trustees selected by
the depositors and these Trus
tees were to collect the slow
assets, in an orderly manner,
and pay the depositors.
The stock in the reorganized
bank, except the qualifying
shares of Directors was to be
held by the three Trustees, and
the profits of this stock was
to go to the depositors, until
their deposits were paid in
full, and if the stock was sold
by the Trustees, then the sale
prices was to be paid to the
depositors.
In order to complete this plan,
it was necessary to have the ap
proval of depositors representing
95% of the deposits. In other
words, if all but 57® approved of
it the plan would succeed and all
of the depositors would eventually
receive their deposits in full.
It is a regrettable fact, however,
that at this meeting four mem
bers of the Committee, refused to
indorse or accept the reorganiza
tion plan, but instead presented a
petition asking for immediate li
quidation by the State Banking De
partment, and the pity of it is,
that the signers of this petition
some thirty depositors controlled
some over $50,000 in deposits or
nearly 257« of the deposits, thus
making the plan impossible.
Our attention has recently been
called to the fact that some of the
signers of this petition asking for
liquidation were informed that if
they signed they would get their
money at once.
The officials and employees will
continue to reside in this commun
ity, and will continue to be at
the service of their many friends,
although they are forced out of
the banking business, after a long
hard fight to save the Bank from
liquidation.

Then, nearing the store, she

Todd's gallant defiance. la s tly , the
venomous spat of the pistol.
With that, the girl ceased grop

with a Jerk th e pulled It from her
eyes.
Sharp pains tore to the hack of her
head. She puekered her lids against
the assault of light and wrinkled her
face against the sudden torture.

thut really mattered.

“Yus. you heard. Put. you see.

and the quality o f his tone was om

Behind him 'rim Todd closed one

was spreading on the floor hoards.
“You mean, you’d shoot me down,
too? Recause I know?"
Franz laughed mockingly, and
tucked the brief case under one
arm.
“No," he salt!, and stepped closer.
“It Isn’t plensant business. I’ve dis

"You are alone. When you go,

"No. no. You can’t do th a t!"
"I can't? Ha!" He snuggled the
brief case closer against his side.
"What's In here, and liberty, are all
I have left." He caught her hand

Dallas—Evidence that the ear

material help in holding the pests
in check was gathered by J. R.
Beck, county agent, through a tel
ephone survey of the various sec
tions of the city recently. Early
in May it looked as though there
would be a heavy earwig infes
tation this year, Mr. Beck says,
but in the words of one homema
ker, "Something has happened to
them." Others interviewed say that
the earwigs are small and puny
this year. Additional evidence that
the parasites have been getting in
their work is found in the fact
that most of the calls for earwig
control now come from rural wo
men, while formerly they came
from city homemakers, Mr. Beck
points out.
