The election of directors to succeed John C. Martin. Class A director,
and W. B. Plunkett, Class B director, whose terms expire December 31, 1928,

a term of three years beginning January 1, 1929.
There were 139 ballots received for Class B director, all of which were
properly executed. There were 117 ballots received for Class A dirctor. of
which 14 were invalid under the law and could not be counted. In spite of the
information and instructions furnished, these ballots were invalidated because
a sufficient number of choices were not indicated, or more than one choice
was indicated in one column.
Due to the secrecy of the ballot, it is impossible to tell whose ballots were
improperly executed, but above invalidations are called to the attention of all
member banks in the hope that greater care will be exercised in future
elections.
