UNIT 'ORGANIZ’ED VEAGAN ~HIi'.A=_DS SCHOOL BOARD FR, 231113 TERM The early return to unrestric-, -ted banking facilities is predica- ted with the announcement of, the plan to remove restrictions- now before the State Banking’, Department, which will be pre- sented to depositors early in the coming week. T-he plan, as announced by bank o and which will come as welcome news not only. to our merchants, but the city at large, is as follows: ' The American Bank, through its officers and dircetors, ‘has: has presented an application ton Joseph A. Broderick, Superin~._ tendent of Banks, and to the Federal Reserve System of which it a member, for permis- sion -to operate on a full 100%, basis, and they feel assured, that application will be approv-, led. won or -me con dxspiayed by 'de.positrs in the following: ANNUAL LAWN nu: AT Vsr. BARBARAPS sunmw PLAY GRO=UND 3\ “The officers and directors wish to express their apprecia- tion of the loyalty and patience displayed by depositors during the bank ‘holiday and while the bank “has ‘been operating on a restricted basis. No depositor need feel apprehensive as to- the soundness of -the American Bank or the safety of his or her money. The integrity of the in- stitution or ‘of its officers and -directors has never been ques- tioned. As is customary in all banks, only a limited amount of the money deposited was «kept on hand available for im- -mediate ‘withdrawal. The bal- ance of the money was invested in high grade bonds, mortgages, and collateral loans in order to earn su in- come to pay interest on depos- its. To have forced payment of all mortgages and collateral loans would have created a set‘.- ious hardship. There is, howev- er, ample security for deposit- ors’ funds in the American Bank and it was to conserve these invested funds that with- drawals were restricted since March 15, 1933*. As normal con- ditions return, bonds, mort- gages and other securities will increase in value, thus provid- ing even greater security for the depositors and also provid- in: funds for the payment of certi of bene inter- est.
