The State Bank Examiner has not been
elected yet, and the, chances are that he
will not be this year. The State Advise
~ Board, consisting of the Governor, the
Comptroller General, Secretary of State,
the State Treasurer and the Attorney
General, who constitute the advisory
board for the examination of the banking
corporations Of the State, have made ap-
pointments 20 meet time and again for
the purpose of electing bank inspector,
but sush meeting has never been held.
It seems now that the election has been
held up on account of the imperfect law
providing for the examination of the
State banks and corporations. A mem
ber OF the Board is reported as saying
that the law was so imperfect that it
would now be best to wait until the next
Legislature meets and have the law Gre
paired"
