The premises, which were erected in 1880, are situated in Hamilton Street, and consist of a wood and iron building, containing a banking chamber, suitably fitted up. The bank is open twice weekly—on Thursday afternoons and Saturday evenings. It has been a highly successful institution. Officers for the year 1905: The Hon J. Holmes, vice-president; Mr. W.
