Meeting of Union Bridge Bank Depositors Ends in Brief Plan
A Union Bridge town hall crowd heard that First National Bank faced a shortage of 168 267 92 dollars. After assets and director contributions, the deficit stood at just over 30 000 dollars. Directors sought an 11 percent depositor contribution to raise about 50 000 dollars, avoiding receivership. Baltimore attorney Isaac Loba Strauss advised liquidation as the only path to minimize losses, noting delays and costs. If plan fails, depositor recovery could drop to 0.50 to 0.75 on the dollar or worse. Directors and others remain cautiously encouraged by the plan.
