Seaside Bank Receiver to Pay $272,000 as Initial Dividend

Distribution of more than $250,000 among depositors of the Seaside National Bank as the first dividend in the liquidation of the institution which closed last February was started yesterday. C. E. Wailes, receiver for the bank, announced that checks totaling $272,000 have been received from the Comptroller of the Treasury in Washington for distribution. The initial dividend is equivalent to 40 per cent of the total individual deposits in the bank. Other obligations, such as city and county deposits secured by bonds, $56,000 loan from the Chase National Bank of New York secured by collateral valued at $159,000 and loan of $100,000 from the National Credit Corporation secured by $150,000 worth of collateral, have been paid and the bank receiver has repossessed securities, it was reported. Receiver Wailes' statement follows: E. Wailes, receiver for the Seaside National Bank of Long Beach, announces that a first dividend of 40 per cent. payable to all depositors who have proven claims, has been declared and he is now ready to deliver dividend checks "This dividend is being paid from funds acquired by the receiver in the ordinary course of liquidation, supplemented by loan from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. This loan, which is secured by a lien on the remaining assets of the bank, must, of course, be retired, and until this loan is repaid no further dividend disbursements can be made by the receiver. It is believed that with the co-operation of the borrowers this loan can be repaid within reasonable time, and if SO, the depositors will receive such further regular dividend payments as the collections made by the receiver will warrant. "The funds of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation set aside for loans to receivers of insolvent banks are limited and the depositors of Seaside National Bank are fortunate to have an application for a loan accepted at this early date. The funds released by this loan should be a material aid to the community at this time. "I have had splendid co-operation from the insolvent division of the Comptroller's office, depositors, former officers of the bank and Long Beach citizens generally," said Receiver Wailes yesterday. "This has helped to make possible the "payment of 40 per cent dividend within about seven months from the date of the bank's closing Seaside National is the sixth bank to be liquidated by C. W. Wailes in recent years. Since he has taken charge, rental has been cut from $1250 a month to $150 and liquidation have been conducted with a minimum number of employes. Total private deposits at the time the bank went into receivership were about $700,000 of which $272,000 is to be paid to depositors immediately.
