ring the year.
Twenty-one banks have been wound up
during the year, by assigning to the State
Treasurer their Wisconsin bonds, together
with the surplus arising from notes never
presented. =,
large number of banks will continue
business under the State law, without issu-
ing notes for circulation. The Comptroller
saws the banking law is very defective, and
should be thoroughly amended, though the
precise amendments desired cannot be deli
nitely stated till bankers, under the changed
condition of things, have adopted pernla-
nent policy.
The following is the force of the office,
which shows also the marks OF the destruc-
ton of our banking system. A few years
