Antonio were officially denied by
the officials of both banks and by
W. W. Dees state bank examiner
whi arrived in the Valley csday.
Plenty Money Available
As the depositors flocked back
into the two banks this morning.
they were greeted by officials of
the McAllen institutions and by a
committee of Valley bankers ap-
pointed at a meeting last night to
assist the McAllen banks in all
possible efforts to avert a run.
John C Jones active vice-pres-
ident of the American State Bank
& Trust Co of Edinburg chairman
of the committee stated this morn-
ing that the sum of money made
available by Valley banks outside
of McAllen had not been needed
and that both banks w;re amply
supplied with their own funds to
a sufficient amount to take care
of any demands which might be
made upon them.
“The situation in Hidalgo county
banking circles is not affected in
the least by closing of the City
Central" Jones stated. “Least of
all are the McAllen banks affect-
ed. In fact one of the McAllen
banks is in *the position of owing
the City Central money rather
than having money on deposit In
the closed San Antonio bank."
New Accounts Opened
Numbered among the crowds
which were making oposits this
morning were several new cxtstom-
ers making deposits in the
for the first time Jones stated.
Acting with Hie Edinburg repre-
sentatives of the banks of the
Valley are H. L. Starr cashier of
the First State Bank of Mission
and W. S. Keenan cashier of the
First National of Harlingen.
After the first flurry of business
was over this morning. 1 .n V.nks
were doing business as before with
no excitement and no more than
the usual run of business customers
at the windows.
When the short lived '-citement
started Tuesday afternoon a signed
statement wag issued by the of-
ficers and directors of the First
National telling all customers who
so desired to “come and get" their
money if they were at all nervous.
“The whole thing is over." Jones
stated at noon Wednesday “and I
believe residents of the Valley will
realize now that their bankers are
telling them the truth when they
state that Valley banks are not
affected by the San Anto..o clos-
ing."
