In the January 20th issue of the Garland Times several questions were asked about the Tremonton Bank. I was told that they were to be answered by a member of the State Banking Department, but as no answer has since appeared, I will, as a member of the Depositor's Committee, and in the interest of the depositors and for their information, try and shed some light on this question which so vitally .concerns all of the residents of the Bear River valley. The first question was: "Why isn't the Tremonton bank open?" The Tremonton bank is not open because it is insolvent and was ordered closed by the state banking department. It was closed because of a steady and continuous run by the depositors. The reason for these withdrawals ranged all the way from loss of income by depositors to hoarding and lack of confidence. M. I.
