BANK COMMISSION BILL.
Senator Hahn VIII Prepare Measure
for a New Board.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA-
MENTO, Jan. 26.-To Senator Hahn has
been assigned the task of preparing bill
for the appointment of a new board of
bank commissioners to take the place of
the present board, it being now conced-
ed that the bill which was introduced
by Senator Caldwell to repeal the pres
ent Bank Commission law will pass both
houses and receive the signature of the
Governor Senator Hahn has been at
work on the new bill several days, and
it may be introduced tomorrow or when
ever the time is considered opportune for
its Introduction.
1t Is desired that the new bill follow
as closely as possible upon the heels of
the one to legislate the present board out
of office. In fact, the Senate Committee
on Banks and Banking may see to it
that the two bills are reported about the
same time and that they go through the
various steps to final passage as twin
bills.
1t Is necessary that the State always
have a banking law and this is consid-
cred a portion of II. Senator Hahns bill
will provide for a Bank Commission of
four members, instead of three, as at
present, one reason for this being that it
is desired to have the commissioners
work in pairs thus expediting their la
bors and making the inspection of the va
rious banking institutions much more
satisfactory and complete.
There will be several additional sec
tions to the proposed law in which the
powers and duties of the commissioners
will be more clearly specified.
