JUNEAU BANK
REORGANIZED
Last week there was a flurry in
bank matters in Juneau that had a
very serious look to it. W. R. Good
heart, a national bank examiner,
dropped in from Washington, D. C.
and found that the First National
Bank of Juneau iacke.i a good deal of
having sufficient security for the
government money on deposit there.
He demanded an immtd'a!e re-adjust
ment, otherwise he would close the I
bank. Governor Clark asked him to !
delay action until he could see Mr.
F. \V. Bradley at Tread well. After ]
investigating the matter Mr. Bradley
concluded to take over the business |
of the bank and save It from col
lapse. The nr;w management is rep
resented by a board of directors con
sisting of Mr. Bradley. Henry ShaU
tuck. George F. Miller, John Reck,
and P. H. Fox.
The First National Batik was or- i
ganized about a dozen years ago by
Mr. C. M. Summers and associates.
Mr. Summers, as president and man
ager of the institution, became inter
ested in promotion of various Alas
kan enterprises, among which were |
the Ketchikan Light & Power Co..
the Cordova Water. & Light company,
the latter of Juneau. Funds of the |
bank were investe.1 to such an ex
tent that the institution was no long
er sound, a fact the examiner quickly
discovered.
Juneau people are not only pleased
that a collapse was averted, but be
cause they know that the bank will
be placed on a perfe; t'.jr safe foot
ing. Mr. Bradley's large interests in
the neighborhood led him to make ]
the investment. He said to the writ
er: "A payroll will make Juneau a
prosperous town ? and that it will |
soon have." ? Douglas News.
