Bank Still Closed as State Frees Examiners for Hamilton
The Hamilton Bank in Harlem and The Bronx remains shut as the State Banking Department assigns examiners to recheck books and assets. Supreme Court Justice Betts extends the reopening order to January 20 while officials await the department’s stance after reviewing examiners’ findings. A planned reorganization backed by Carnegie Trust would inject 1 million dollars, with liens totalling 2 million, but the plan faces potential department objections. About 40 percent of depositors accept 10 percent cash on reopening, with the rest paid in notes over up to twelve months. Directors on January 1 elected Frank L. Grant as president. he is Carnegie Trust’s vice-president.
