Guaranty Bank Must Turn Them
Over to Bank Commissioner.

The very natural mistake is being
made by state bankers of sending
their bonds for membership in the
state guaranty association direct to
the state treasurer. These bonds
should be sent first to the state bank
commissioner. The law provides that
he shall pass first upon the ehgibil-
ity of the bank and its bond and then
if he is satisfied he turns the bond
over to the state treasurer.
