Parkman Interview Defends Savings Bank Liquidation Plan
Henry Parkman explains the savings bank committee's aim to protect deposit principal amid declining bank stock values. He notes about 20 million of Boston national bank stock is owned by Massachusetts savings banks and outlines the slow, cooperative liquidation plan with Kidder, Peabody & Co. to avoid disrupting deposits while preserving funds. The panel argues dividends were a secondary concern to safety and that a new bank establishment was not necessarily part of the strategy.
