BANKS AND BANKING
COMMITTEE HEARINGS

The committee on banks and bank
ing was the only committee to indulge
IN business on Thursday afternoon.
having three measures to consider and
also holding an executive session.
1t took the committee on banks and
banking just half an hour this after
noon to consider three measures and
hold an executive session.
State Bank Commissioner Irving E.
Vernon explained the act relating to
investment Of deposits. which he said
had been introduced at the request of
Governor Milliken to make farm loan
bonds under the new federal law a le-
gal investment for savings banks. He
said that the federal measure was be-
ing worked out in detail at the present
time and was expected to work out
very beneficially for the farmers. The
loan bonds would be assembled in re-
gional banks and it was to make these
bonds legal investments for savings
banks that this measure was intro
duced.
State Bank Commissioner Vernon al
so explained the act relating to loans
by loan and building associations. He
said that the act had the approval of
the bank commissioner and that it's
purpose was to permit loan and build
ing associations to invest surplus funds
in the stock Of other loan and building
associations.
Sidney b. Larrabee Of Portland, di-
rector and member of the executive
committee Of the Casco Mercantile
Trust Co, explained the details of the
act which would ratify the change of
name Of that banking corporation and
amend its charter.
Mr.. Earrabee said that the Mercan-
tile Trust CO. was organized by spe-
cial act Of the Legislature in 1897 and
in 1915 ii voted to increase its capital
stock from 100000 to 100000 and to
change the name to the Casco Mer-
camille Trust Co, following the liquid
alton and taking over of the Casco Ma
tional Bank
An amendment was sought to allow
the Trust Co. to establish branches and
another so that it might increase its
capital stock to $4,000 instead of
the 100000 provided by the special
charter, also to increase the executive
committee from the five permitted by
the charter TO any number between
five and 10, Mr. Larrabee explained
Bank Commissioner Vernon said that
he had taken up these matters with
the attorney general and negative
approval had been given but it was
decided that the matter could be best
reached by Legislative enactment. He
would be glad to see the act passed
In executive session the committee
voted ought to pass on all three of the
measures.

along that line.
Some time since the father OF

young man was pulling the door pei'
with considerable frequency for one
who wasn't supposed to be on 'he
visiting list.
He was there Tuesday. he was me :
on Thursday and he was there on sat

getting right down to the point !

NV daughter for some time now anu
I want to know if your intentions are
serious"
"They certainly are" was the

ioinder of the young man. Il am try
