BANK IN ALBION TO CUT MELON Albion—(Special Dispatch)—Although it may be a little late, a Christmas present representing a dividend is planned for depositors in the defunct Albion Citizen's National Bank, according to Otis B. Coppedge, bank receiver. Mr. Coppedge revealed he had applied for a loan from the RFC to go with $66,000 in cash on hand for payment of a dividend as soon as details can be arranged. Considerable detailed work will face his staff before the dividends are issued even if the loan is immediately granted, he said, and it might be several weeks later before the checks could be mailed out. Dividends aggregating 76 2-3 per cent of deposits have been returned to depositors since the bank closed in January, 1932. DEATH CLAIMS GOP POLITICIAN Irving Almstead, 68, for 31 years a First Ward constable, died last night in Rochester General Hospital after a long illness.

He returned to the Republican fold last election but was confined to the hospital throughout the campaign and was beaten for the first time by a few votes. He lived at 130 Plymouth Avenue North. He is survived by two brothers, Raymond, of this city, and Morris Almstead of Cleveland and a sister, Mrs. Amelia Coomber of Fairport.
