Not Feasible Mr. Van Wagenen In his report : indicated that the offer from the j Reconstruction Finance corpor-I corpor-I ation was so small as to be prac-i prac-i tically ignored. Numerous questions were put from depositors in attendance regarding re-garding expenses being incurred, lawyer's fees, possibilities of a depositors' de-positors' dividend and other matters. mat-ters. Many of the remarks made at' the .-meeting were tinctured with hostility against the officers of the bank, as well as the former .state banking administration for allowing the bank to remain open when it should have been closed many years before. Some criticism criti-cism was expressed because Salt Lake lawyers were being retained at fat retainer fees. The report by Mr. Potter showed the following follow-ing expense for legal services: Dan B. Shields, Salt Lake, $2050; A. V. Watkins, Orem, $322; Robinson Rob-inson and Robinson, Provo, $286.07. J. A. Owens expressed dissatisfaction dissatis-faction with the wasteful method of handling the building, pointing out that the back portion was being be-ing rented to the Home Loan cor- i poratipn for $60 per month, the only income realized from this source. He favored the business location considered one of the choicest in the state should be made to yield greater revenue and the bank business moved to a less costly location. In regard to inquiries regarding reorganization of the bak with the cooperation of the R. F. C. he explained that the committee had considered every possible plan, but that none was feasible because of the lack of cash. He also explained that many of the unsavory details of the bank's condition had been kept out of the press so far, mainly because of the hope of saving as much as possible out of the wreckage of the bank. A motion to enlarge the committee com-mittee was passed with Milan R. Straw, J." A. Owens and Douglas Page being named- The other members are Mr. Van Wagenen, Mark Anderson, S. S.. Jones, R. A.
