According to Mr. Simmona, application has been made by the Commercial Bank of Utah to establish a branch there, and Utah according to Section Code Annotated 1943, a hearing must be held. Those desiring to present arguments for or against the establishment of the bank in the city of Duchesne will have that opportunity. If the application receives favorable approval, and it ia predicted it will, a dream of the business and civic leaders of the county seat city will finally be realized.
