" Winding Up Savings Banks Receivers

1t has happened, unfortunately, I'm numcr-

very badly managed 10y their trustees and
other officers; and it has also happened, not
less unfortunately, that when they have
passed into the hands Of receivers, their
affairs have been subjected TO equally bad
management in some instances much
worse. Instead Of being promptly wound
up, they are incXtricably tangled up. De-
posits IN savings bank which has once
passed into the hands of II receiver have
very naturally come TO bc looked upon 10y
