Three Defunct Banks To Pay Dividends to Depositors in August Topeka, Aug. 1 (AP)—Dividends will be paid to depositors of three defunct state banks this month, Charles Johnson, state bank receiver, announced today. Depositors of the Roanoke State bank of Kansas City, Kan., will receive August 5 their first distribution of the assets, amounting to 20 per cent of the total of $200,000 deposits. An 8 per cent dividend will be paid August 10 to depositors of the Scranton State bank of Scranton, whose failure, after the cashier's suicide, tied up $310,000. Later, a dividend of about 2 per cent will wind up the estate, from which the depositors will get only one-half of their money. The Linwood State bank of Linwood will make its first disbursement under the receivership August 20, when checks representing one-fourth of the $87,000 deposits will be mailed to the depositors.
