Beacon Trust Company Directors Deny Major Loan Allegation
The Beacon Trust Company directors deny making a $330,000 loan to F. E. Borges or the Providence Trust Company. They explain on July 2, 1903, Gale, the president, secured six notes totaling $330,000 plus $25,000 funds to Providence Trust. Proceeds were used by Providence Trust’s treasurer to pay those notes, with no Beacon funds leaving its custody. The board records show the notes were reported as paid at a July 15, 1903 meeting. The Providence Trust Company never opened for business, and no losses are claimed. John A. Gale is defended as acting in depositors’ and stockholders’ interests. Officers cite an examination by Ewer and Neal with an endorsing letter from the Massachusetts Board of Savings Banks stating the Beacon’s affairs are in sound condition and depositors have no cause for anxiety.
