BAN ON 0VERDRAFTS.
DISMAYS BANKERS
John SHELTON WilliamS's Or
der Called Drastic and
Unnecessary.
GRAVE INJUSTICE SEEN

Comptroller Of the Currency John
Shelton williams has issued an order
tn the national banks OF the country
absolutely prohibiting overdrafts. This,
New York bankers said yesterday, will
result not only in great inconvenience
but in positive injury to individuals.
business houses and the small country
banks under conditions that arc likely
To arise entirely through accident The
order. II was said, might easily result
iu the bankruptcy OF entirely RESPONSE
lie small banks and business concerns.
through refusal OF bank to honor
checks should the funds necessary to
cove such checks accidentally be pre-
vented from arrival on time.
The order of the Comptroller was
peremptoiS. The granting by some
banks OF accommodations In the form
OF ovcrd~af.s is Objectionable and can
Tot be CuUntenanccd by this office 1t
said. This practice should cease en-
tirely You are requested to adopt q
resolution directing that no officer o.
employee Of your bank shall pay or
charge 20 the account OF any deposito-
an. check OF such deposition when there
are no. sufficient funds on deposit ia
thg credit Of the drawer OF the check
to meet the same Please forward a
certified copy OF tho resolution 20 this
Office as soon a. II IL adopted. Let the
resolution show the names Of the di-
rey.o.s present at the meeting"
New York bankers said that they diC
20. consider the order directed especially
at this quarter They felt however
that 1t was entirely too drastic. II wa,
considered so arbitrary In character ano
so FAR beyond the needs OF the situation
that IL was felt it could not possibly b,
lived up to. \ number Of bankers SAID
they would acknowledge receipt OF tn,
letter, would point on how unreason
able and impossible the order was ana
proceed along tho lines to which the,
nave been accustomed.
The honorine OF ove-dra'ts. II wa,
said, Is by no means practice in THU
section. but IL granted when occasion
warrants. IN some parts of the country
IL was said. business is carried on or
this hp sis. Such practice. II is contended
could readily be stopped by the Comp
troller without resort To q general orde
that wOuld spread such hardship anC
injustice.
The oyer.cer ,ihcation Of loans OF
stock exchange collateral has beer
greatly reduced among the nationa
banks OF New York in the las; year
The order therefore. is believed not L
be directed especially against this pyac
tice, Much OF this business has beer
taken by the state institutions In New
York city.
The Comptroller says IN his order tina
he has asked the State banking depart
mcnts to cooperate in abolshinR III
practice Of overdrafts. Supt Richard
OF New York lief. yesterday for Alban.
