to Insure
Bank Deposits
Iowa Attorney General Renders an
Opinion in Response to Auditors
Request.
From a Staff Correspondent

DIES MONIES, Oct. ~2S.-(Special Tele-
gram. )-Attorney General Byers held to-
day that an insurance ompany TO insure
bank deposits is legal under the Iowa
laws. Such a corporation, It is learned,
viii be started here. The opinion was
given at the request of the state auditor.
Formerly a corporation sought permission
to insure Individual depositors. The attor-
ney general held this would be against
public policy. as the volume of business
would depend on the suspicion Of the
banks stirred up by the company. The
ompan now proposes to insure the banks
after examinging their books. and the
charge will be based on the amount Of de-
posits. Poor risks win be refused, conse-
quently strong banks Will not be paying
the expense of insurance for weak banks.
