OVERDRAfTS.
Lexington National Banks Take
Adverse Action. March 1 Next
will Require Formal Notes.

Lexington, KY, Dec Especially y
In accordance with a hint conveyed in
circular isseud by Lawrence o. Murray,
United States Controller of the Curren-
cy, brought to their attention by Ma
tional Bank Examiner Percy H. John
ston, the Lexington Clearing House As
ISOLATION has adopted resolutions de-
claring that no more overdrafts shall be
permitted by the banks Of this city af-
ter March l., 1912. All credits which
have heretofore been made in the shape
of overdrafts. are to be in the form of
direct loans by formal notes in future.
1t is estimated that the overdrafts in
Lexington have annually aggregated
more than 5000, 600, and in all the ma
tional banks of the United States the
overdrafts have for the last five years
amounted to more than $50, 900, 900 each
year.
A recent decision of the United
States Supreme Court holds that an
overdraft is given on the cashiers own
responsibility, and at the peril of him.
self and his sureties. The clause on
this subject in Controller Murray's
circular is as follows:
"a usage to allow customers to over
draw, and to have their checks and
notes charged up, without present
funds in the bank-stripped of all tech
nical disguise, the usage and practice,
thus attempted to be sanctioned, is
usage and practice to misapply the
funds of the bank; and to connive at
the withdrawal CT the same withoutany
security, in favor of certain privileged
persons. Such usage and practices
surely manifest departure from the
duty. as both the directors and cashier,
cannot receive any countenance in
court of justice. 1t could not be sup
ported by any vote of the directors,
however formal; and. therefore, when
ever done by the cashier. is at his own
peril, and upon the responsibility of
himself and his sureties. It is any
thing but "well and truly executing his
duties as cashier"
