BANK CONSOLIDATION
BIG INTEREST IK WASHINGTON
SAVINGS ACQUIRED.
Mr. E. Quincy Smith of Union Savings
the Purchaser?Under One
Management.
I A controlling Interest in the Washington
; Savings Bank, located at the northwest
corner of 12th and G streets, has Just been
acquired by Mr. E. Quincy Smith, the sec
ond vice president of the Union Savings
Bank which is In the Bond building. New
York avenue and 14th street. In addition to
the control of the 1,000 shares, par value
$100, Mr. Smith lias also secured options on
practically the entire remainder of the
stock. The price paid for the main portion
of the acquired stock Is $113 per share,
while the rest was secured at prices ranging
from till to $115 per share. The transac
tion was made by Mr. Smith in conjunction
with Crane, Parris & Co., bankers. It is
expected to make a change In the officers
and directors of the Washington Savings
Bank, so as to give a representation of the
new control on the board of that bank. Mr.
Smith will become the president of the
bank. Mr. S. W. Woodward, one of the
directors of the Union Savings Bank, will
become the vice president, and Mr. George
O Walson, the treasurer of that institu
tion, will become the cashier. The new
members of the board of directors of the
Washington Savings Bank who will take
the place of those retiring, will be selected
! from among the directors of the Lnion Sav
ings Bank. . .
The two institutions will be conducted in
the future as independent organizations as
it is the intention to continue the
Savings Bank as it has been practically
during the entire period of its cxi?t?nce'
which has extended over the past sixteen
vears-that is, as a savings institution pure
and simple. Owing to the necessity of ac
commodating its customers, a line of com
mercial business has grown up, ^
eludes current deposits, which,
represent only about one-sixth of 'he entire
deposits, now amounting to a million
and a quarter of dollars.
five-sixths are savings deposits. In the case
of the Washington Savings Bank. tl.e tota
deposits amount to about $400,000. or * men
about $220.<?0 ?re savings deposits, the
balance being current deposits.
Plans Proposed.
One of the plans proposed for conducting
the two institutions under one man
agement is to separate as far as prac
I ticable. and it is thought that it can be
done entirely, the savings feature from
I what might be termed the commercial fea
ture. In order to accomplish this the cur
I rent deposits of the one may be eventually
I transferred to the other, giving at the start
| a MWned deposit of that character of
abnUis5saidMto be within the bounds of a
-eisonabie business expansion that m the
rear future the Washington Savings^ Bank
rauv become a national bank with naturally
a savings department such as is often
i found i:i institutions of that character.
is the expectation that th- employes of the
! Washington Savings Bank will be retained
in their present positions, so that the
change effected. so far as the personnel of
the institution is concerned^ will MP"?
cinallv confined to ttie officers and the
membership of the board of directors.
The Washington Savings Bank was or
ganized several years ago, and was the
outgrowth Of the old Ohio National Bank.
In addition to the usual features of a
banking office the building, which was
' erected bv the bank, also contains safe de
posit vaults, which are of large size and
modern construction.
The officers and directors of the Wash
ington Savings Bink are Orren G. Staples
president; Samuel Ross, P. B. Chase Scott
Nesbit, Homer Guerry. vice presidents, c.
H Davidge, treasurer and caslnei, J. r.
H Goldn. y. assistant cashier. Directors

Sphere of Influence.
The Union Savings Bank was organized
in the year 1W*>. and began business on 7th
i street ' Then it moved to F street between
I l'th and 13th. and then to Its present
quarters in the Bond Building. Its growth
has been a steady one. so that today its
deposits amount to one million and a quar
ter In the \ear 1?K> Its deposits were $320,
7-0 in 1002 they had grown to $.<2,411, and
1 two years later the million mark 111 de
i posits had been reached and passed.
1 This extension of the sphere of influence
of the Cnion Savings Bank is not a new de
parture I11 the line of its business, as it
has for some years owned a control of the
Newport News National Bank, and also
?f the First National Bank at Hyattsvllle,
>ld. In order to facilitate the receipt of
deposits it has a branch In Anacostia, where
a building is being erected for its use. The
capital of the Newport News National
! Bank is $100,000. the surplus $28,000, and
! the deposits about $350,000.
I The capital <>f the Hyattsvllle bank Is
I $.40000 the surplus $15,<"?l and tlie deposits
| are about $00,000.
The 1 fflflT"-""'1 directors of the 1 nion
Savings Bank are as follows:
