According t. the New York papers an
Asscublymun- Cohen by nnmc-has
introduced a bill It; Albany to take un-
claimed deposits from savings banks
and place them in the public treasury.
These unclaimed deposits in State
like New York must reach an almost
fabulous sum, and it is difficult to uu-
deTst"nl by wha, process Of reasoning
the Stute would be justified in taking
these deposits. as We would naturally
suppose that the institutions in whose
care the money was left would DO en-
;itlcd to a deposit which remained un-
claimed. We bell we TINT several
Supreme Courts have decided that the
State Cannot touch such d, pOsits aud Il
wOnld surely DO an unjustifIble pro.
cedure for II State to take forcible pos.
session OF funds entrusted to the care
Of q bank.
Even if the State had a right to take
Unclaimed deposits, it would be din ult
10 determine when deposits may be
taken by the public. Money has been
called for, and obtained, after lying in
banks from forty 10 sixty yenrs. aud j;
is rarely that heirs do not appear to
demand what II deceased relative has
left in a bank with only n slight clue TO
guide to the treasure. Further we do
not think that the banks will be ome
burdcued with wealth from this source
mud do not believe that such bill IL
r. Quirrd either in behalf Of private in.
ttrest or Of the Iubiic welfare.
