PAINE, Willis S .:


Banker; was born at Rochester, N. Y., Jan. 1, 1848, being descended from an old family of New England, one of whose members, Robert Treat Paine, was a sign- er of the Declaration of Independence. His father, Nicholas E. Paine, was a lead- ing lawyer of Rochester, where he filled the positions of mayor, district attorney for the county, and president of the Board of Education; at the time of his death, in 1887, he was president of the Dakota Railroad Company. Mr. Paine's mother, Abby M. Sprague, was a descendant of Governors Bradford and Prince, of Massa- chusetts Bay Colony. Mr. Paine was ed- ucated at the Rochester Collegiate Insti- tute, where he graduated in 1862 as vale- dictorian of his class, and at Rochester University, where he graduated with hon- ors in 1868. While at the latter institu- tion he was also engaged in the study of


law in the office of Sanford G. Church, afterwards chief justice of the Court of Appeals; was admitted to practice in 1861, and continued to practice until 1874, when he received an appointment as one of the trust company examiners of the State of New York; his work in this position was an investigation of the trust companies of the State, the result of his action be- ing the closing of three such companies in New York City whose debt to depositors was $6,000,000. His action secured the re- payment of this sum in full to depositors, and brought him high commendation from the press. This work changed perma- nently his field of labor; in 1876 he was appointed receiver of the Bond Street Savings Bank, whose failure was the larg- est of its kind in this country. Mr. Paine handled the responsible duty thus in- trusted to him with remarkable skill, and eventually succeeded in paying the pre- ferred creditors the full amounts of their claims, and eighty-six and five-eighths per cent. to the general creditors,-a re- sult rarely equaled. The court, in re- viewing his management of this institu- tion, declared "that the duties of this trust have been administered by the re- ceiver with rare diligence, fidelity and dis- cretion." In 1880, Mr. Paine and William Dowd, president of the Bank of North America, were appointed by Governor Cor- nell commissioners to compile and revise the laws of New York respecting bank- ing. They served in this duty without pay, and spent less than half the sum ap- propriated for expenses. The revision which they prepared and submitted was adopted by the Legislature in 1882; in the following year these commissioners re- ceived vote of thanks from the Legisla- ture for their services, being the first vote of thanks given by that body since the

end of the Civil War. He was appointed by Governor Cleveland superintendent of the banking department of the State of New York, the nomination being unani- mously confirmed by the Senate. This position was one of great responsibility and varied duties, embracing the supervi- sion of the many banks, savings institu- tions, trust, mortgage. and safe deposit companies, building associations, and other financial corporations throughout the State. He resigned the position of bank superintendent in 1889 to accept the post of president of the State Trust Com- pany; this corporation enjoyed great pros- perity under his management; he re- signed the presidency of this institution by reason of ill health and made a trip around the world; he is now the president of the Consolidated National Bank of New York. He is the author of "Paine's Banking Laws," a new edition of which, the fifth, has just been issued; it is the standard publication; he also wrote "Paine's Building and Loan Associations," "Summary of Failed Savings Banks," etc. He has delivered a number of ad- dresses before the American Bankers' As- sociation at its annual conventions. In 1885 he was offered by President Cleve- land, but declined, the position of sub- treasurer in New York City; in 1886 he was given the honorary degree of LL.D. by Manhattan College; he is president of the Rochester University Alumni Associa- tion. He was appointed colonel by Gov- ernor Flower upon the latter's staff. He has long been a member of the Bar and Mayflower Associations, the Chamber of Commerce, and belongs to the Tuxedo, Commonwealth, Metropolitan, Lawyers, Theta Delta Chi and Phi Beta Kappa Clubs, of New York. The "block system" in real estate transfers, adopted by the New York Legislature, owes much to his efforts: the law regulating trust companies was prepared by him. Ad dress, 57 Broadway, New York.
