QUARTERLY sTATEHENTs or THE BANKS
There il one recommendation in Gov. Letcher's mes-
sage to the General Assembly which, trust, will not be
looked by the Committees Banks He invites the attention OF
the Legislature to IN the quarterly statements OF all the
banks In the saith required be pub hhsd In the
papers ofs city, arge annual expense and without cores
pondng advantages No two Of them he "are made up 10
the way-and utterly impossible therefore, 70 prepare
comparative from the returns which sent to tbs
department The Governor recommends the repeal OF the law
recurring publication IN the city papers, "eayng much on
the law In requires them to be Published by the banks In
the town, and cities which they located" measure Of
economy this all well enough but beg leave to recommend
addition that banks be required under heavy penalty TO
make prom quarterly returns their condition TO the Executive
In accordance with prescribed and uniform sln
10 he Indicated by legislature prevent the conrae
~ ofmang up referred 10 by the Governor and that shan
he the duty OF the sereay the when all Of said
returns have received each quarter to prepare an Abstract
showing the capita circulation deposits actual discounts
and specie Of and the same and to cause
Aid abstract TO publ he'd 10 Of the city paper'-
We hope that suggestion will commend Itself to the fsVorAbs
confederation Of the Legislature.
