have proved hazardous to the Banks making
them. In sister State such transactions
have been recently prohibited
I" know Of no Bank in this State, which
is suffering serious embarrassment, or has
sustained much loss, where the same cannot
be traced directly to the violation of the
spirit OF the law, limiting the indebtedness of
individuals Loans have cccn made far cx-
cecding ten per cent. Of the capital, but
with II caution quite ludicrous, the evidence
and security for the loan has been, in form, n
drait-and this they havc called the purchase
Cf bills IF crcboHgc. ] would again call at
tcntion to the necessity of some further lcgis-
lation upon the subject such as will protect
the bona .fdc business paper of the conmuni
ty, and at the same time forcclosc this Jug
Cling Interpretation of the law, to cover mere
kiting.
:" have made the foregoing suggestions
under no little embarrassment, for, upon
looking back through a series of years, do
| not ind that any recommendation OF any
Bank Commissioner has ever been followed
| by the Legislature. From which it is fair to
infer that the State has been singularly UNI
fortunate in its selection of Commissioners
or else the control of Vermont legislation
upon this subject has fallen into hands which
would accord to the Banks the largest
liberty
There are fifteen Saving Banks in thc
State, two Of which, Black River and Mid
dlcbury, are in the hands of Receivers. Ii
the remaining thirteen, the amount now in de
post is 1904 $50 30. The increase Of deposit
in these Banks from the report Of 1854 is $50,
023 -. The commissioner again urges tn
necessity for Il revision Of the LAWS rcgulat
ing these Institutions, with better securitie
for faithful administration.
