This consisted of $15,000 in bonds of the Virginia Southwestern Coal and Timber Company. When they were rejected HiHegass stood overdrawn for between $16,000 and $17,000.

Any statement that Hillegass may make that he has not been credited with payments made is incorrect. My books will show he has been given due credit for every check or has had it returned to him." The former cashier also stated that it was to offset the $16,000 overdraft declared against him by the bank directors that Hillegass had offered different mortgages and deeds to property, aggregating $7,000 or $8,000, leaving his present overdraft in the neighborhood of $8,000. Banking circles are interested In the method Hillegass followed to get the bank to accept so much of his paper. Hartman gave this outline of the plan he said Hillegass pursued: "Hillegass loaned money to various persons presenting their notes to our bank. In accordance with the agreement of the bank, he received 90 per cent, of the face value in cash, the remainder going to his credit.

The notes would be for $300, $400, $500, and always, I beHeve, they were said to be premiums on insurance sold. The notes bore Hillegass' indorsement. I don't know how he persuaded makers of the notes to accept 90 per cent, of their value. "The notes were discounted by the bank, and with the knowledge of the bank officials. When the notes fell due and were not met, Hillegass sometimes would have the notes renewed.

Sometimes he gave new notes, and sometimes he gave other security, as In the in iNauonai Dans oi ne would draw a check on the Boyertown bank, and when he desired to meet it would deposit a sufficient amount in the Merchants' National to our credit.

Sei came through I would honor it. Before doing so I always waited for the notification from the Merchants' National. "Hillegass also frequently sent us checks made out by other parties, to be deposited to his account in Boyertown, with the promise that he would take them up before they would have time to reach the banks of the drawers. This he frequently did not do, and that Is how we came to have so many protested checks from him. These checks were in large part responsible for his overdrafts." CLOSETED WITH ATTORNEY.

He concluded by saying that the bonding company was the keynote of the situation and If they made good their bond without forcing a law suit the outlook for an early reopening would be hopeful. It is said that the bank examiners and accountants have been hampered by the elaborate and original system of bookkeeping used by former Cashier Hartman. The system is so complicated that not only have the bank examiners been unable to understand it, but Hartman was unable to assist them.

Hillegass made this statement: "When we found what a tangle my accounts were in I worked in harmony with the bank's officers and attorneys and we were arranging for the gradual liquidation of the notes. The action of the Comptroller of the Currency in closing the bank was as great a surprise to me as it was to the directors. Thp nntpa havp h0pn tnkp.n nn hv nip TO WIDEN PENN AVENUE BOROUGH OF WEST READING CONTEMPLATES IMPORTANT IM PROVEMENTS TO ITS MAIN THOROUGHFARE. On Tuesday evening, Aug. 6, West Reading borough council will act finally on the first important matter In the way of public improvements which it expects to obtain as a result of incor poration.

It will be voting on an ordinance authorizing the widening of Penn avenue from the east boundary of the borough of Wyomisslng to the Seaboard Milling Company plant, to a width of 80 feet, and from the latter point to the west bank of the Schuylkill river, to a width of 70 feet. As it is regarded as splendid legislation and of which the property owners have expressed their approval, it is believed that the bill will pass and that the burgess will affix his signature to it. The portion of the highway mentioned, which is the best part of a mile, now varies in width from 60 to 80 feet. Chestnut Philadelphia, Is inclin The is to make the street and ed to place the blame on Hartman, but sidewalks uniform and the grade as the affairs of the bank are so tangled! nearly level as possible. Under the pro that he can give nothing definite.

visions of the ordnance, the highway For five weeks," he said, "I have had would be 48 feet wide from Wyomisslng the best xperts In the city working on those books, and as yet we are unable to place the real cause of the entanglement. The books which Mr. Hartman turned over when he resigned his position are in such a state that the experts cannot get head nor tail out of them. "I was surprised when I learned on Saturday that the authorities had closed the bank. We had known, of course, that the institution was in a bad way, but we expected that the authorities to the milling company plant, and the sidewalks each 16 feet; from the latter concern to the river the roadway would be 44 feet in width and the pavements 13 feet each.

The West Reading hill, under the plans, would be cut down at least four feet in grade, and ascending would not be nearly as hard pulling or as fatiguing to walk as now. The estimated cost of the operation would give us notice to raise the im lis $8,000, and bjs arrangement with the palrment of capital before tliey took any definite action. The total liabilities of the institution could not possibly be more than $102,500, as follows: Bad bonds, notes past due, present notes, $44,000, and overdraft, $16,000. Of the notes past due, Mr. Hillegass has paid about $5,000, and of the present notes at least $15,000 is good, thus cutting down the liabilities to $82, iB0.

Now as to assets the bonding capital will have to make good $26,032.92, then there is a surplus of $30,000 and $12,000 of undivided profits, whidi, together with the $20,000 raised by the board of directors and the extra security of $10,000 furnished by Mr. Hillegass, makes a total of $87,000. Thus you see we have plenty of money to meet any State Highway Department, it is thought that the share on the borough would not be greater than one fourth or one eighth. The improvement, the champions argue, would be a benefit to hundreds of teamsters. It will also be nearly a mile extension to the fine driveway from Mount Penn borough to W7yomlsslng, making the stretch of good roadbed about four miles.

After months of the hardest kind of work by a large force of mechanics and the recently christened "Pen dora" park has arisen from chaos into a "thing of beauty." Its manager announces that it will be ready for the opening to the public on Thursday (tomorrow), and, naturally, much interest having been aroused in the new park project, it is expected that throngs of people will be on hand to inspect the grounds and buildings and "take in" the sights.

Over 5,000 electric lights are being Installed. The grounds were laid out by. Landscape Artist Bird, of New York, and School Maurer, architects, prepared the plans for the buildings.

All around the lake, or lagoon, are pillars and a Roman railing painted white. On each of the pillars will be placed large flower pots. Water was turned into the lagoon several days ago, and the miniature railway is in operation. Several engines have arrived and have a pulling capacity of five cars. The distance around the lagoon is nearly 3,000 feet.

Arrangements have been made with Prof. M. A. Althouse to turn out the largest band seen in Reading for some years on the Opening night. One hundred men will be in line and every one will be a musician.

The parade will start from Third and Penn streets at 7.15 p. m. and the route will be up Penn street to Perkiomen avenue, to the park. Professor Althouse has written a special march for the occasion, which he considers one of his masterpieces. It is entitled the "Pendora March," and It will be the first piece played on the way up Penn street.

It will also be the first selection performed in the large band pavilion. It is catchy. The same band will furnish music during the afternoon of the opening day. On Friday the $1,500 organ arrived for the caroussel and was placed in position. One of the features on Thursday night will be an exhibition of.

wire walking by James Bard. A 60 foot pole has been erected on either side of the lagoon and a strong wire placed in position. Mr. Bard will cross the lagoon on this wire, and, coming back, will set off fireworks. He will resemble a ball of fire and rockets and red balls will completely surround him.

Numerous other attractions will bu, provided. There will be music both afternoon and evening and special events the remain der of the week. CARDINAL GIBBONS' BIRTHDAY. Flood of Telegrams and Messages Congratulation Received. of Special to The Times.) Baltimore, July 23.
