REPORTS.
By Mr.. Chandler, for Judiciary Committee, IA
vorably, to chapter SO of Revision " of deposit
tons ond Witnesses" with amendment ordered
amended and third reading.
Mr.. Shaw, called up chapter %, " of railroads
and commissioners and it was ordered to third
reading.
Mr.. Reed called up the bill extending the char
ter of the Vermont Bank and the question was on
ordering to third reading.
Mr. Herrick believed that it would be unwise
to do anything that would lessen the credit of the
banks at the present time. There should be
great prudence in legisla,ing upon this subject.
With reference to the Vermont bank in particular,
he would say that it was the peoples bank. 1t
was we'll known that it had in all periods of its
history consulted the convenience oil the public.
1t had been accommodating, especially to poor
men, even when such accommodations we're dis
advantage to the bank. He knew not, then, WHY
there should be any objection in this case to
granting the re- CHI rter. There was no opposition
to the re- charter, no one obecting or petitoning
against this action Of the Legislature ia this case
Mr.. Lynde stated that although in the minor
ity of the Bank Committee, which had reported
against re-charterng banks, be would yet vote in
favor of re-charterlng this bank, if the expiration
of its charter was so near at hand to require an
! extension at the present time
Mr.. Fletcher knew but little about the circum.
stances of the bank in question, but where there
were so many opportunities for opposition to show
itself through the daily papers and other channels
and no opposition appeared, it could not be be-
leved that there was opposition but it was in
ierred that all was open and fair dealing 1t
seemed to be case where a re-Charter should be
granted.
Mr.. Cook of Cabot, had been opposed to grant
ing new charters, because he knew upon the best
authority there we're too many banks in the State
already. Bat in a case OF this kind, where there
was no opposition to extending d charter, and
where 1t was desired by the people he was in ia
vor of granting it. There should be dis
tlnction made with reference to these insttu-
tons, and those that were approved generally and
gave proof OF having sound financial basis should
be continued.
Mr.. DenniSon moved the previous question.
