Depositors in the closed bank are restless and uneasy, quite naturally, but they will do well to bear mind Mr. Adams' declaration that "an orderly, but not too hasty, liquidation will increase the amount available to greatly pay the depositors, may mean the difference between their receiving 30 per cent cent or perhaps twice that amount." per To to collect in short time over $600,000 of notes and loans would. as the ceiver points out, cause an acute credit situation in Roanoke. not too hasty liquidation clearly in the interest of the borrowers from the closed bank, the depositors and the community alike. Loans from other banks. for which the State and City Bank had put the portion of its notes as must be repaid before any disbursement made to the depositors, order to protect the bank's equity in this collateral. This not only necessary but obviously in the interests of the depositors themselves. Meantime the depositors should be reassured by the statement that it making every effort to hold the expense of liquidation to minimum. The receiver's intention of making application for liquidation loan from the Reconstruction Finance under the terms of recently enacted banking legislation, will noted with interest by the depositors, for, if granted, the proceeds of the loan will available pay the outstanding bank loans. amount realized the assets and the time within which can be collected,' says Adams, speaking on behalf of the receiver, "will to large extent be contingent upon pick-up in employment and business in Roanoke." This can understood without difficulty and by bearing in mind depositors can answer for themselves the question every one of them doubtless wants answered, viz., when will the State and City Bank be in position pay the depositors something, and how much? Mr. Adams' statement, issued on behalf of the Trust Bank, acting as the ceiver for the State and City Bank, published in full in this newspaper yesterday, with detailed statement of the audit appended. was singularly clear, straightforward and comprehensive explanation the present status the closed bank's affairs. Needless say, was of very general interest throughout the community and was read by business men generally, well as by depositors in the State and City Bank. with keen attention. It warrants the belief that the affairs of the State and City Bank are in competent hands and being wound up with view to making the best possible settlement, under the circumstances, for the depositors whose funds were tied up when the bank failed to reopen after the banking holiday in March. How much the depositors will get back, and how soon, depends as much on an early improvement in general business conditions in Roanoke on anything receiver institution doing its best for them: with that assurance they must perforce be content for the time being.
