Overseers of the poor throughout the

that at least half hat number would
be willing to take up their residence in

themselves as relieved OF any further

~ Featurc OF the report.
The most important recommendation
made by the controller,<nnd that which
is the chief feature of the renort is
one for additional restrictions upon
loans to directors and executive Of
ficers of banks. The controller states
that h large percentage of bauk fail
ures attributable to excessive loans to
directors and officers, which amounted
to 62 failures, or II per cent of the total
failures of national banks, led him to
a careful investigation as to all d.
rectors' loans now outstanding in the
national banks of the country.
This investigation showed that on,
June 29,S1900. the dale Of the control
ler's call for a statement of condition
from the national banks. that of IS, 709
directors of national banks in the coun-
try 1854 were directly or Indirectly
Indebted to national bank8 under their
management.
The aggregate SUN owed by these
1854 borrowing directors and 2,279 Of

rectors was s2O2, $751;, Al. AS the capital
stock of the national banks Of the
country on June % was 1881, 536, 4s1, it
follows that the direct and indirect liza
btlity of directors and officers amount
ed to 32.55 per cent, ortabout one-third
the capital. These direct and indirect
liabilities OF directors and officers to
banks under their management
amounted to 7.75 per cent of the total
loans and discounts of the national
system. rs
