Hearing on Bank Affairs Targets Trustees in Savings Banks
Massachusetts bank officials testified before the banks and banking committee on a petition to bar officers of trust companies from serving as trustees of savings banks. Cambridge Savings Bank figures prominently as several officers also serve as trustees of Charles River Trust Company. A witness called the petition a Cambridge bank squabble that should not involve the entire state. Hollis E Bailey urged divorcing directorates of competing banks. G I Cook noted the bank’s $250000 loss in a year due to receiving only 2.5 percent on some accounts, versus 3 percent elsewhere, signaling deficient prudence.
