1888. twenty years from the passage OF the first
National Banking act, in twenty years from the
date of the organization of each bank.
An examination Of the laws bearing on this sub
leot shows first that the charters of all National
banks organized under the original act of February
25 1868 Except few which will be mentioned
further on, expire III just twenty years from the
date of the approval of that act and secondly,
that all Others run twenty years from the date OF
their certificates of organization. In few cases
the period named in the articles of association
was nineteen years, and the bank charters which
contain this limitation expire in 1882. All other
charters granted before the passage Of the Act Of
1864 pire in 1888.
The number of banks organized under the first
law was 456 A few of these have been closed.
Those which continue in business until 1882 and
1883 Will then have to be rechartered; but since
the passage of the Free Banking act this Will SIM

Captain BayIey was authorized to undertake the
