85 Percent Os Deposits

On Reopening Agreement

EFFORTS FOR GOAL
Hope To Get Across By
'August 31 So Bank Can Be
Opened by September 15;
* Events Will Move Rapidly
Once Depositors All Give
Cooperation
last Saturday’* efforts in the sign
tip campaign for the reopening of the
First National Bank were among the
best for any single day sine* the drive
began, and netted around five percent
of the total of outstanding deposits
which had not up to that time been
pledged for the movement, it was an
nounced today by Jasper B. Hicks,
chairman of the sign-up committee
who reported that 86 percent of the
deposits have now been put into
the agreement. That leaves only 14
percent yet to be pledged, and des
perate efforts ere being made to wait
on the remaining depositions the first
half of this week.
August 31 is the date that had been
fixed as the time when it was hoped
the goal could be reached. Mr. Hicks
was optimistic toduv that the job
might be completed by then, and said
he thought th« work could be finished
then.
It has been stated by the officials
of the rwmpawfn inanimation and
the bank people that the bank could
be reopened within two weeks after
the depositors had given their con
aent to leave their funds in the new
bank If the sign-up is completed by
August 31. It is expected, therefore
that the opening can be definitely
fixed for September 15. or thereabouts.
The community is looking forward
to the reopening with the idea \hat it
wi:» wor:; somewiat of a transforma
tion on the business horizon. The plan
Is to pay in full on or after the open
ing day all deposits of S2O or less- and 1
to pay at the same time ten percent ;
of all other deposits, whatever their i
amount. Such payments will, it is esti-1
mated, liberate from $60,000 to $70,000
in funds to depositors, as well as make
available new sources of credits foi
commercial and agricultural pur
poses.

WILL BE DELAYED
Will Not Open Sept. 8, But
Probably Sept. 15 or 22,
It Is Learned,
The tentative date of September 8.
'ixed several weeks ago as Jhe time
for the opening of the schools of she
city and county has been dropped, ahd
:t now seems probable that class work
will begin on either Thursday. Sep
tember 15, or a week later on the
22nd.
Children are needed in the rural
sections to help in harvesting the
crops, and, since both city and county
terms are for eight months, it has
been desired to open both systems at
the same time. Postponement of the
opening of the rural schools will pro
bably mean, therefore, the opening of
the city schools on whatever date may
be fixed. This would throw the close
next spring a week or two later than
last spring.
Some of the loss of time at the start
may be taken up, too. by a single
week for the Christmas holidays. That
is too far off to be definite, however,
and a guess would be mere conjecture.

on (he calendar for *hr Henderson
City Council at a meeting to be held

decision was reached.
There was a prospect that two or
hree members of the Council would
he absent from the meeting tonight,
and whether the rate would he fixed
:n their absence was not learned.
So far as could be ascertained in
advance, there was no prospect that
he rate would be raised, and some
indication that It might be shaved
down a cent or two, though this could
not be determined before final ac
ion on the budget. A tentative budget
has been before the Council at two
meetings, but efforts are still being
undo to effect economies, and these
nay be or may not be achieved.
