NEW BLNEING Law

The new banking law which
names the bank examiner as
receiver for all defunct banks is
causing considerable agitation
among the many who have interest
in both the State Bank and the Nye
Ormsby says the Carson Appeal.
Under the new law the State
Bank Examiner Howell will take
over the business of the receiver
ship. thus doing away with the
present receivers of the two banks.
Sho uId this procedure prevail it
will save very large amount of
money for the depositors.
In the meantime the suit being
brought by Receiver Wildes in the
district court against the directors
is being heard. The case comes
up again on the 9th of this
month. AS the new LAW provides
that the law becomes effective ten
days'after having been approved it
is not likely that M. Howell can
take the first steps along the new
lines. 1t is expected that when
he makes application for the books
Of the two banks and the keys to
the vaults that he will be turned
down. The matter will then be
threshed out in the courts, probably
going to the district court first
and then to the supreme court for
action. In the meantime the case
now on hand will continue.
AS the new law effects the Nye
& Ormsby Bank it is possible that
Examiner H DWELL will be called
upon to institute the suit or defend
as the case may be. There are
many people in Carson who are
convinced that time enough has
elapsed between actions and that
som" course must be mapped out.

first stages. 1t will certainly keep
