the holders Of the corporations obliga-
| tlons), would urge that an additional
deposit OF $4,000 to $50 900 in approved
securities be required to be made with
| the secretary of state of this state, to
more adequately and specifically pro-
| tect our own citizens in case of a liza
! b1lity becoming fixed upon such COM
pany. Such a provision, it is believed,

insolvent or wildcat companies from
the opportunity to defraud our citizens.
| Ii such a provision is Incorporated in
the bill, l shall be pleased to approve
it,
! Unanimous consent was given to
amend the bill in accordance with the
governors suggestion, and the amend
| ed bill was passed without opposition.
