Town of Maynard Scammed - 1896
The Farmers' Loan and Trust Company Letter
The Farmers' Loan and Trust Company Letter
Description
The letter from W. D. Searls, Vice President of the Bank, to W. H. Gutteridge, Maynard's Treasurer, indicates the Town was deceived and defrauded relative to Bond #112 of the Durham Water Works Company. It would seem that other fraudulent bonds with forged signatures were in circulation. Note: The money lost was not discussed in the correspondence, however the 1897 Annual Report of the Town of Maynard shows a "Howland suit" expense in excess of $3000. The firm of Ellis & Howland conducted the issue of the bonds.
