EdttOF OF hGHHt0eC JONTHuts
The constitution of the State provides,
art. 4, sec. u thus corporations shall
be formed under general laws, and shall not
he created by special acts OF the Legislature
except for municipal purposes, ana in cases
when the objects of the corporation can not
otherwise be attained: and, however formed,
they shall forever be subject to the general
laws of the State
In accordance with this provision of the
consultation stringent general laws have been
enacted for the organization of Savings
Banks and Loan and Building Associations,
ard the conduct and regulation of their
affairs
In addition to these enactments there is
also statute which provides thus every
Bank, except Savings Banks, shall be sub
ject to the duties, liabilities and provisions
contained in this chapter, in its charter ard
in chapter forty-six. W less etherwise specially
provided (See Revised, Statutes, chap ~
But this statute was enacted to apply to the
Old State bsnks-not one of which now sur
vi.es-aud is now absolute in many of its
provisions and entirely inadequate in all
other respects.
In furtherence with this policy of State
suUerYision the statute provides for State

rhis, we believe. comprises all the general
snpe rvision of Banks exercised by the State.
Sine the original enactment OF these laws
there has grown up what Is in many respects
a new institution, generally known under the
name of Trust 4 Banking Companies, or
some variation of this Considering the
number of charters which have been granted
for such companies it scene certain that
within few wears they will be established
in every section of the State and involve
large pubic Interest," The lrovisons in
these charters are of a most liberal nature,
putting scarcely any limitation or restriction
np IN the character and extent of their invts,-
ment. There is no public Law which sde
quately governs their operations, and even
the spp!it alton of the law which does exist is
denied.
Taking into consideration then, every as
pect of this subject, the policy of the State
the present inadequacy of the law, the rapid
ly increasing number of these companies,
and the large public snterests which will be
involved, It is but a matter of ordinary pre-
caution that such legislation as will malnta Il
and protect public interests should be passed
at once. before some unexpected disaster
emphasizes its necessity. n
