Indiana banks post record year and tax valuation shifts
Indiana bank deposits reached a peak last year says chief bank examiner Charles W. Camp, who warns deposits may recede as unemployment rises. State tax boards show higher bank valuations across many counties in 1920 to 1921, with several banks boosting assessed values while Vanderburgh county banks lagged. Also notes Mrs. Byron Poston and family trip, Sunday school notices, and church redecorating at the M. E. church.
