REGULATE DUTIES
OF BANK EXAMINERS

HOND, VA Special
The law regulating the duties Of
the bank examiners. who are operat-
ing under the direction OF the State
some provisions which are ridiculcusly
silly.
Under the law az II stands today
the officers OF the State-aIl who have
any knowledge OF the affairs OF any
Of the banks-are forbidden. under
pain of Snstsnt dismissal. 20 disclose
anything that may affect q bank. The
fact that the commission may have
cited a bank to appear and show that
irregularities discovered shall be COR
rected may be formally made, and
not complied with, and proceedings
are begun by the commission for the
appointment of q receiver does not
release any news features 90 far az
the officers are concerned.
The closing OF any sAnk by order
OF the commission must not be dis
cussed by the officers, even though
the bank In closed and = notice 90 that
effect Is posted on the front door.
That is exactly how the law n being
interpreted, and the same law - de-
clared TO be q silly, foolish thing. ON
GERS hold that when q bank is be-
yond repair, has admitted that Il can
not comply with the laws and that q

vents any trouble in n business way,
will prevent runs, whereas II the thing
is allowed to continue and the bank is
called to explain and fails to comply,
the officers have TO sit mum and SO
to court.
In fact, under the section OF the law
enforcing silence and secrecy, there IN
some doubt II the officers can go to
court and begin proceedings, for IN
doing so they are disclosing that the
bank in question So involved. and the
officers of the State win DerfOrce have
to make public certxin things which,
under the law, they are forbidden to
make known.
The section Of the law which en-
joins, imposes and prohibits a refer
ence to the banks, or any OF them, is
TO be found as the last paragraph Of
section 1170, and " as follows:
''An records. reports and informa-
tion concerning any bank other than
those required by law TO be public
shall be open only TO such officers and
employees of the State as may have
occasion and authority to inspect
them in the performance OF their du-
ties. an dto any officer or duly author
lied agent OF such bank and the i'm
parting OF such information by any
employe or officer of the State may
be sufficient cause for his removal
from the position he occupies under
the State government"
Now comes the question OF what the
receiver can report. Suppose he shall
nnd that the bank is IN such condi-
tion that it cannot be continued. can
he make a written report OF that fact.
The law quoted above might serve
10 estop him from making any re-
port OF that characteT. II arrests
should follow. can the officers who
made the investigation which caused
the appointment of a receiver be fore
ed to testify In court without ieopar-
dizing their positions7
