Mr. President and Gentlemen:
On behalf oi our state of Connecticut
beg to say that the trust company
and banking branches of business in
our section are in a. very flourishing
condition. and all that the most opti-
vmlstlc‘ could desire. Deposits are iII~
creasing, money is firm. earnings are
large. .
General business is booming in every
department-our people have abun-
dance of money to spend for every-
thing that makes life comfortable-~—
and that. means prosperity for the
bankers, for the merchants and for
everybody. ..
Our manufacturers are crowded ’o
repletion with orders from all over lin-
world. and in muny‘cases it is neces-
sury to work night as well as day
{shifts in the effort to keep up with
the orders.
The tobacco cropwthc- success or
failure of which means so much in
state-is a bumper.one this year. not
and of the best. quality We have ever
grown. vlt will result in placing
many millions of dollars in our trust
companies and banks to the credit. of
the farmers who have raised it.
Our life: and accident insurance oom-
pnnies are writing more business than
eveinbefore in their history.
- Our fire insurance companies. he-
sides taking care of current loses. have
paid out over $15,000,000 amounting to
more than 90 per cent. of all their ox-
lraordlnary losses in San Francisco.
and are merely waiting for proper ad‘
justmeut oi' the. remaining claims to
pay the haianc‘e.‘ ' ‘
The end is in sight gentlemen. and
without exception the fire insurance
companies of Connecticut have once
more proved to be perfectly solvent
their policies good inevory case-wand
as in similar past confiugrntions, they
have been able. to promptly pay dill)
cents on the dollar. and continue to
dobuslness at the same old stand.
' These are‘the business conditions of
Connecticut today. ' « .. g
As to the specific request of your
committee for information alonn cer-
tain lines l desire to state that with
but two exceptions all the trust conr
panics and state banks of Connecticut
in addition to the trust business per-
se; conduct also It general banking
business~reccnve deposits of all kinds
and make loans both on uprovod na-
mes and on collateral.
These two exceptions were orgnuiz-
