The First National Bank of Brockport through its receiver, Harold Kotta, has paid back 64 per cent of its deposits. The last dividend paid was made possible by an RFC loan. Thomas N. Nagle, receiver for the First National Bank of East Rochester, has given depositors a 40 per cent dividend.

The First National Bank of Webster of which Mr. Nagle also is receiver, stands in a class by itself. It is one of 19 national banks throughout the country that have paid depositors 100 per cent of their money. In addition, Mr. Nagle declared he has two legal cases pending and if successful will pay depositors 6 per cent interest on their money.

Only three of the nine village in banking difficulties are without banking facilities. They are East Rochester, Lima and Spencerport. Each has made application to Rochester banks for branches but this action is not regarded as likely in the near future.

Nunda has banking facilities in the Peter Dupuy Banking House, a private bank. Brockport has the Brockport National Bank, which superseded the First National. The Union Trust Company has established branches at Avon, Sodus and Webster. The Lincoln Alliance Bank & Trust Company has established a branch at Newark.
