stock of Loan ASSOCIATIONS.
When building and loan association in
Nebraska has issued shares Of its stock up
to the full amount Of its authorized capital,
II must do the same as other corporations,
namely, amend its organic articles, before
It can legally put out any additional shares.
The attorney generals office has decided
that the amount OF stock in force Is to be
reckoned on the par value of the shares
and not on the cash that has been actually
paid in.
The question was propounded by Secre-
tary z. r. Kennedy of the Beatrice Build
ing and Loan association to Secretary Royse
OF the state banking board. and by the
latter referred to Deputy Attorney General
Thompson. Mr. Kennedy stated that his
concern has issued certificates almost to the
number Of 5000 at 300 each. which Is
the limit Of its present capitalization. He
wanted to know whether the association
must row increase its authorised capital
stock or whether the business could be
carried on without change until $4,000
cash has been paid in on the stock. Under
tine opinion of the attorney generals office,
It is necessary to increase the capital where
the number of shares originally provided
for has been issued. regardless OF whether
those shares have been. fully paid for or
| not.
