THREE MIAMI BANKS SUSPEND OPERATIONS DANIA INSTITUTION ALSO CLOSES DOORS TODAY FOLLOWING HEAVY WITHDRAWAL BY DEPOSITORS (By Associated Press) MIAMI, July 2.-Three Miami financial institutions, the Bank of Coconut Grove, the Bank of Buena Vista and the Bank of Little River, suspended operations here today. Outstanding loans on which they could not deliver were given by directors as reasons for suspension of activities. Both the Bank of Coconut Grove and the Bank of Buena Vista failed to open their doors, while the Bank of Little River opened for business at 9 o'clock but was forced to close exactly an hour later due to a "run." Uneasiness was felt by residents of that community regarding the failure of the Buena Vista bank nearby and at the opening hour an increasing crowd poured into the bank to withdraw deposits. Two squads of police were despatched to maintain order and an armored money truck from a large downtown bank was sent with a large amount, but directors chose to suspend operations. Officials of the Buena Vista and Coconut Grove institutions, both of limited capital and .resources, decided to suspend operations temporarily in order to readjust affairs and reorganize the banks on more extended and stable foundations, augmented possibly by Miami capital. The local officers of the Coconut Grove and the Buena Vista banks were said to have been compelled in carrying out their plans because of out-of-town control and the consequent lack of interest in both institutions by Miami capitalists and investors. Organization of the Bank of Coconut Grove was completed in March 1920 with a capital of $15,000. In February 1925 the capital was doubled and deposits totalled $1,010,000. The Bank of Buena Vista opened in October 1920 with a capital of $15,000. In July it had $1,500,31101 and 000 in deposits.
