The controller recommends the re-
peal of the second proviso of section
II of the act of March a. 1900. which
limits the issue of $5 national-bank
notes. In this connection he calls at
tention to the fact that not once since
the year 1874 has the aggregate issues
by the banks of IS notes exceeded one
third of the total outstanding circula-
tion. which is the object of that clause
In the act. The operation of the pro-
Viso, however, is such as to seriously
hamper those banks which, by their
location, can not use to advantage
notes of greater denomination than
50. The ratio which the aggregate OF
IS notes outstanding on Oct. 81, 1901
bore TO the total issue of national
bank circulation was about 16 per
cent, having decreased from 81. 2 per
cent. on March 13. 1900, the day before
the passage of the act
Among other recommendations the
controller renews those of his prede-
cessors relating to the questions OF
loans to officers and directors. exces.
sive loans, and the advisability Of
changing the method of compensating
national-bank examiners from the
present fee system to a regular SAL
airy.
Since the passage of the act of
March IA, 1900. the total amount Of cir
culation which all the national banks
have outstanding has been increased
from $254,O26. .23O to 1859. 49,. .715. an in
crease of $105. .S06. $50 or over Al per
cent.
