1t provides for regular statements from each
banking institution to the State Corporation and
further that this Commission SHALL not less than
once in each and every year, and at such other
times they may deem necessary, cause TO be
examined each and every bank or institution char
tered under the laws of Virginia, and shall cause
to be examined every such institution, whether
organized under the laws of the United States
government or not. which has heretofore been, or
may hereafter be designated as State depository.
Special examinations are also provided for upon
application to the Commission by the board Of
directors, or by the stockholders representing two
fifths of the amount of the stock Of such bank.
The Corporation Commission is authorized to
appoint such examiners, clerks stenographers and
other assistants may be necessary to carry out
the provisions OF the act.
In order to defray the expenses of the system
fees assessed against the banks graduated &C
cording to their capital and surplus and ranging
from $50 to $50
These are the main features of the BILL so far as
inspection is provided for. The objection urged
against IT Is that the inspection is to be done by
clerks OF the Corporation Commission instead Of
by bureau Of banking.
Messrs Wingo. Noting and Stebbins offered
bill Saturday last which meets this objection
1t provides for a bureau of banking, with expert
banker at the head Of it 1t also provides for a
uniform reserve fund of not less than fifteen per
cent.
We have not had time to examine the bill care
fully but it seems to be decided improvement
the Williams bill and is simpler and more
concise. An effort will be made to have it subst-
tuted FOR the Williams bill Judge Williams is not
particularly welded to his own measure, we under
stand, and will raise objection to the Wingo
substitute, il he regards it as the better bill.
Neither of these bills is ideal. But each provides
for system OF inspection and we hope that one
or the other will pass Let the present Legislature
get the system started. If found to be defective
it can be perfected at the next session.
