Description

The First National Bank of Mascoutah was closed (suspended) in March 1933, was authorized to reopen and did reopen (article dated 1933-10-20). Later (Jan 19, 1934) the Comptroller appointed a receiver for the old First National Bank while a new First National was organized to take over acceptable assets and assume 50% of deposit liabilities. The sequence shows a suspension with reopening; subsequently the old bank entered receivership and was being liquidated, but the operating bank had reopened under a new organization.

MASCOUTAH BANK RECEIVER NAMED; ASSUMES DUTIES The Comptroller of the Currency at Washington, D. C., has appointed Fred Manny of Mt. Sterling, Ill., receiver of the old First National Bank of Mascoutah, replacing the conservator, Louis J. Scheve. It is the policy of the Comptroller not to have an officer or director of a new bank, which was organized for the purpose of taking over an old, to act as conservator or receiver of the old bank for more than a temporary period. Manny has entered on his duties. It will be his duty to collect the outstanding notes of the old bank and to liquidate the bonds as the market proves favorable. This receivership has nothing to do with the new First National Bank in Mascoutah which was organized to take over the acceptable assets of the old bank and therefore assumed, and made available 50 per cent of the deposit liability of the old bank. Asked if an assessment against the stockholders was contemplated. Manny said that he could give no statement in regard to such assessment, since the order must come from the Comptroler at Washington, D. C. Neither could he state anything in regard to the likelihood of the amount of payments to depositors. All information relative to these things, he said, must originate directly from the Comptroller of the Currency at Washington, from whom he takes his orders.
