Building and loan associations doing
business in Pennsylvania may not is
sue triple and quadruple shares on
which payments would be made Mt
the rate of 81 and 81 instead of 81,
under q decision rendered to-day TO
John w. Morrison. deputy banking
commissioner. by William NJ. largest.
deputy attorney general. The decision
says that periodical payments can not
be provided for at a rate greater than
So n. share and that therefore at
would he illegal to require instalments
of 81 o" 81 in order to retire shares in
a much shorter time thar would be

licved OF paying fees provided by law
even though no examination was made
of the company during 1917 or any
ether year.
