DEPOSITORS WILL NOT BE AF
FECTED BY GOVERNOR’S ACT.
Restriction of Withdrawals Necess
ary During Holiday; Emergency
Demands Will Be Met.
Word has been received here by
wire that Governor Julius L. Meier
has declared a bank holiday effect
ing the entire state, dating from
this morning, March 2nd, 1933.
A statement made by F. B. Sway-
re, president of the First National
Pauk of Hermiston to the effect
that this bank will not close and
that no depositor will be affected in
any way except tnat it will be neces
sary to restrict withdrawals until
the holidays are over, which will be
on Monday, March 6. The local bank
will try to handle each case in such
a way that no one will suffer and
all emergency demands will be met.
The bank will accept deposits
which will be kept segregated until
the holidays are over. All out of
town checks will be taken for col
lection only. It Is the opinion of Mr.
Swayze that normal business will be
resumed on Monday, March 6th.
The move to close banks in Ore
gon was made necessary because of
the closing in California, and also
in the middle and western states.
Most of the banks in Oregon are
keeping their doors open but any
business done will be illegal during
the holiday. Business will be dated
Monday, March 6th.

TATE LIRE MARSHAL
SERES OUT WARNING
State fire marshal, A. H. Averill,
sends out a letter stating that re
ports and inspections have brought
to the attention of his department
the fact that there is a statewide
violation of the state code relative
to the proper use of exit lights In
occupancies where said lights are
required.
Mr. Averill says that “In many
hotels, apartments and rooming
houses, the exit lights are being
turned off or are being replaced
with kerosene lights to save electri
city.” Such lights, he says, must
not at any time be permitted to be
out of order and when out of order
must be Immediately repaired.
"This violation,” continues Mr.
Averill, "constitutes a life hazard,
and a statewide check-up by depu
ties of this department will neces
sarily require so much time that
casualties may occur before the
work can be completed.”
