standing of a church in the relation in
Dictated in the letter which reads as
follows:
"Will you be kind enough to give
us the opinion of your department as
to whether an organized church may
be regarded by savings banks as a
charitable institution for the purposes
Of determining whether an excess of
$4,000 may be entitled to interest as a
deposit?"
The attorney general answered in
part as follows: II should not suppose
that church would be regarded as a
charitable institution
Hon. Payson Smith superintendent Of

Gently asking for an opinion on mat
ter touching upon State aid for acade-

ed funds in excess Of $1,000 per year,
as reported in the return filed with
this department covering the year end
ing July 1, 1915. be eligible to receive
State aid from the appropriation for
aid to academies in view of the fact
that the law raising the maximum from
$500 to $4,000 did not become effec-
tive until July /, 1882?
The opinion Of the attorney general
is that such an academy is not en-
titled to State aid.
