Burrell Hearing Opens as Coolidge Panel Probes Bank Ads
Henry R. Surles of Metropolitan Trust accuses Burrell of a hold up style ad solicitation for the bank. The special committee, appointed by Governor Coolidge, opened its first session to investigate Burrell’s conduct in office. Surles said the bank initially ignored a solicitation letter for four months before depositing funds and then directing some advertising through Burrell’s agency to regain business. Vice-President William H. Stickney testified deposits once neared the statutory limit.
