Had you been on Plasa or West Third street, Sunday, you could have seen that much.

You would not have seen the shining gold, the glistening silver, the green currency, or the gold-edged securities, for they were in packages and boxes, They were moved from the building at Broadway and Plasa that housed the Citizens National Bank that was to the building that housed the Alton National Bank that was and which houses now the First National Bank Trust Co. that is. Wealth that would have caused a Croesus to mutter with envy and a Ghengis Khan to mobilize thousands of embattled barbarians was transported two blocks without the semblance of a rift. Police On Guard Five men accompanied each load of securities, or cash, or safety-deposit boxes. Terms under which insurance is carried require that five men accompany valuables so transported, so on each truck were police and attaches of the bank.

Safe deposit boxes were brought from the cellar of the Citizens building through a hole made in the Piasa street sidewalk by removing by the sidewalk lights. The vaults were under the sidewalk and the moving problem was one of coming through the sidewalk or the wall of the building, since the safety deposit boxes could be moved in no other way without long delay. Making the hole In the sidewalk was decided on as more feasible since replacement of the light section is all that need be done to return the sidewalk to its former state. Chief Fitzgerald commanded a detail of police that was on hand during ths removal of cash, securities and safety deposit boxes from one bank to another. Police companied each truck, and ed the doors of both buildings, witt Chief Fitzgerald moving about ant keeping an eye on operations In general.

How much cash was moved was not stated by bank officials, though it was understood that the great bulk of the wealth was in securities These, with the contents of the safety deposit boxes, were estimated to have a value of $7,000,000, perhaps more. Bank officials, of course, could not estimate the value of the contents of safe-deposll boxes, since only the owners have access and know what is in them. New Bank Opens The First National Bank Trusl Co. was doing business this morning at the old Alton National building. Work of remodeling the Interior had been completed, but scaffolding still stood where the painters were at work on the ceiling.
