NEW OYERDAFT LAW.

The following act of the Legislature of Missouri was
passed at the last session, signed by the Governor, and be-
came law effective June 18th of this year. This law was
passed at the instance of Credit Associations. Taken in
connection with previous ~Overdraft laws, decisions, and
rulings of the Banking Department, this ct puts banks in
the unpleasant dilemma of paying overdraft checks at great
peril to themselves or of refusing payment at great peril
to their customers.
So the cooperation of our customers is earnestly re-
quested in keeping clear of the oyerdraft practice.
