SAVINGS BANK OFFICERS OPPOSE BILL To
PLACE THEM IN INVESTMENT LIST.

PLACE THEM IN INVESTMENT LIST.
Albany. April 3 (SpeciaD.-Governor OdeI gave
hearing to-day Senator Green's bill authorizing
the savings banks of the State invest the money
Of their depositors in the bonds of the city of Los
Angeles, Cal. A large number of representatives,
of the savings banks OF the State appeared in OPP
position to the bill. Speeches in opposition to 1t
made by Andrew d Mills president Of the
NewYork State Savings Bank Association: j.
Harsen Rhoades. president of the Greenwich Saw
ings Bank of NewYork. and Simon w. Rosendale.
president of the National Savings Bank of AL
bany. A speech in its favor made by SEN
Green of Bnghamton
Mr. Mills stated that the executive committee of
the Savings Bank Association had formally ex-
pressed its opposition to the inclusion of the bonds
of Los Angeles in the list of bonds mentioned in
Senator krum's bill passed this year, those
which could legally be purchased by savings banks
The Krum bill mentioned the bonds of certain rail
way corporations The reason of the objection 10
the Los Angeles bonds was because IT was consid-
cred bad precedent to include them
Il must most earnestly protest against your sign
ing this bill said Mr.. Rhoades. and would call
your attention to the fact that yesterday you
signed bill authorizing the trustees of estates to
make investments in such bonds as can be pur-
chased by savings banks. That law increases our
responsibility. We must be very careful in re-
gard to our purchases of bonds
Senator Green, in reply. called attention to the
financial condition OF Los Angeles. and argued that
1t thoroughly sound He read letter signed
by President John d. Wicks, of the Bowery Saw
ings Bank and President Huntington. Of the Dime
Savings Bank. Brooklyn in which this state
ment made: Having noticed the passage by
to- invest in the bonds Of the city of Los Angeles
take this occasion to express our satisfaction
with the same; we feel justified in expressing to
you individual Judgment that the legaiZing OF
the said bonds would be in the interest OF the saw
ings banks of this State"
Finally Governor Odell said: Senator Green
W have that these bonds Will be
paid? AS look back over my experience here the
last two years / recollect large number of acts
legazing bonds issued by cities and towns of this
State. If a savings bank should buy bonds of a
city village of this State we can protect it, but
we have no such power in the cities of California.
Indeed, have some trouble in protecting the
State for the present time l understand the
Controller is trying 10 collect money the bonds
of a town in this State bought by the Controllers
department.
Argument having ended Governor Odell said: is
that all gentlemen? If so. will sleep this. -
