The meeting which was scheduled a t Cedarville Thursday evening was called off by the township chairman, D. C.

However it will be held Saturday eve­ ning in the township clerk’s office. I t was also announced that town­ ship committees will meet a t the us­ ual meeting place in each township next Tuesday night to receive appli­ cations. .The dead line for receiving applications has been set for Septem The announcement elsewhere in this issue that the branch of The Farmers and Traders Bank, Jamestown,' is to be discontinued will be received with, as much surprise as regret by the people in this community. However, the discontinuance is not of their own choosing, as stated by R. W. Zimmerman, president, who has spent most of his business hours here since the branch was opened last fall. The business has grown even in the face of present economic conditions and the bank is in good financial standing, which will be good news to ’ local depositors as well as those con­ nected with the main bank in James­ town. The last financial statement as required by the State Banking De­ partment appears in this issue for your' consideration. Following the closing of The Ex­ change Bank, the Jamestown institu­ tion saw the opportunity to extend its service to a community worthy of a bank and a t the same time increase the scope of its business. . Arrange­ ments were made by leasing the local banking. institution and relations be­ tween lacol patrons and the branch management have not only been satis­ factory but pleasant to all. Since the branch was opened the banking business in both state and nation has undergone many changes which bank management and patrons hope will he for the better. Congress enacted new laws that will soon go into effect and it is for this reason that the local branch will be with­ drawn, probably September 15th. We have read copies of the cor­ respondence with the State Banking Department and the Federal Reserve Bank in Cleveland, which leaves the management of the local branch, no other alternative than withdrawing, from the field. One of the features of the new banking law is membership in the Federal Reserve, which The Farmers and Traders Bank desires, looking to the time when the institution can come under the plan for guaranteed deposits, which conservative bankers endorse. The Farmers and Traders beak-emr easily meet the requirements to enter the Federal Reserve System with the main bank' but the law plain­ ly says that no parent bank can oper­ ate or maintain a branch bank beyond the limits of the city, town or village in. which the parent bank is situated unless such bank has a paid-up and unimpaired capital stock of not less than $500,000. The capital and si. plus of the Farmers and Traders Bank is $75,000, and the Federal Reserve has ruled that entrance into that system is not possible while operating the Cedar­ ville branch. In justice to their present invest­ ment in the parent bank and its patrons, Mr.. Zimmerman informs the Herald they must reluctlantly with­ draw. According to the announcement patrons of the local branch are asked to present their pass books for balance and if they desire the balance can be withdrawn a t once. Those who desire to continue their accounts will be welcomed and treated as in the past. Those who have safety deposit boxes are urged to arrange to turn in their keys and remove contents. As most of the box rentals expire the first of the month, those having paid in advance can be refunded for the unused part o f the fee. Any that de­ sire such accomodations in Jamestown will be cared for. 4 Both Mr. Zimmerman and the local cashier, Robert Mooreman, have made many friends during their short busi­ ness stay in Cedarville, and we voice the sentiment of the entire community in expressing regret that the branch must be withdrawn to meet the re­ quirements of the banking law. speci l members still household articles will be dis- perplexed In their search for sources for taxation to re- ™ lieve thc public schools.
