Description

The Naugatuck Bank & Trust Company was closed by the Connecticut state banking department on Oct 8, 1931 due to impairment of capital (depreciation of securities). A temporary/permanent receiver (Naugatuck National Bank acting as receiver) was appointed and the institution was liquidated; dividends were later paid to depositors. No run is described in the articles — this is a suspension by regulator leading to receivership and permanent closure.

NAUGATUCK BANK PLANS DIVIDEND Application Before Judge Cornell-Would Distrib= ute $50,000 Present Depositors of the closed Naugatuck Bank and Trust Company will receive a nice Christmas present this year, provided an application for the payment of another dividend is granted by Judge John A. Cornell at the short calendar session of the superior court Friday morning. The Naugatuck National Bank, receiver, for the closed bank to-day asks permission to pay a 10 per cent dividend to depositors, which if granted, will make a total of 85 per cent they have received in dividends since the bank closed in October 1931. Payment of a ten per cent dividend will mean that a total of $50 000 will be paid out to depositors of that bank. This is considered excellent liquidation in view of the few dividends paid depositors in other closed banks throughout the country. Attorney W. W. Gager filed the application for dividend payment in superior court to-day. The application states the dividend would be paid all savings and commercial depositors and holders of Christmas Savings club ac counts. Dividends of 7.5 per cent have ben paid those creditors of the closed bank up to to-day. The receiver states there are enough funds to pay the ten per cent allotment. The money became available through liquidation of mortgages and Home Loan bonds. Attorney Gager said to-day. He added that the receiver hopes to do something further in the way of dividend payments, but that it cannot be guaranteed in view of the unstable conditions prevalent throughout the country. Judge Cornell in acting on the application Friday is expected to grant the application and to fix a date for the payment of the funds.
