ing statement of it. provisions are deemed neces-
sary:

situations, and as trust funds. In these cases,
deposits may be received and interest paid, on
any sum without limit to amount.

either to the bank or the deposition.
1th. Savings banks are required to pay, As
here ofore, tax of one half of enc per cent. semi
annually to the State, for the use of schools and
for State purposes. This requirement will not.
however, interfere with the payment by this bank
of the highest rate of interest allowed by the act.
Sth The banks arc required at the end OF each
six months to pass to a reserved fund, au amount,
which IN all well managed banks viii be ample to
protect depositors from injury from any losses
which may happen to the bank in the Management

depositors from loss.
9th Money deposited by married women or
minors, is declared to be the property of such
married women or minors, payable only TO them

husbands or parents.
10th. Banks have the right under this act, rs
heretofore, to require, if deemed proper, thirty
days notice for the payment of $500 or less, and
sixty days notice tor any sum over $500.
The foregoing are the principal features of the
new enactment, which have especial reference to
the rights and privileges of depositors. Various
changes are made in existing statutes by this new
act, having for their object the more perfect and
systematic management of the banks, the regula
ton aud restriction Of investments of funds, and
for the security of deposits and the protection of
depositors from disaster or loss.
