Bank closure at Clearfield sparks accounting probe
The Farmers' State Bank of Clearfield was shut by the state bank examiner. George Green, former cashier of ten years, was removed last December amid troubling discrepancies later found by O C Hill. Bank capital stood at 25 000 with deposits around 42 000 and 56 000 in bills receivable. Liabilities totaling about 25 000 emerged, notes for large sums appeared, and some makers deny signing them. A receiver will untangle the muddle while no funds are said to be misappropriated.
