TANGLE ON TRUST COMPANIES.
An unexpected tangle developed in
the discussion on the second reading
of Senate Bill 125, defining the powers
of trust companies, Achi contending
that the bill as it was reported from
the committee took away the banking
privilege from such companies, which
he said should not be done
elf we agree to let them have bank |
ing privileges, will Senator Achi agree
that trust companies shall pay bank |
ers' license?" asked Bishop.
Achi thought that he would be, but
was not sure. He wanted considera-
ton deferred. This was not favored,
and the provision permitting trust
companies to accept deposits was
stricken out. So was a clause that
permitted them to do about everything
else that they wanted to do. !
Achi then moved to defer consider
alton of the bill until Wednesday, but
was voted down and consideration
continued. The bill passed sec
ond reading. It will be read for the
third time on Thursday.
