understood, after conferences with
GovernuT-elect r. A. Nest os. informed
the guaranty fund commission in see-
sion here that new method would
be adopted for handling affairs of
closed banks in the state.
On his request the commission went
on record as asking the state exam
liner and banking board to make no
more appointments of receivers for
closed banks for the present.
Mr- Nestos had been quoted as saw
ing that he believed the assets Of the
closed banks had been disxpat
through expensive receiverships and
that he favored, a board of three or
four members to supervise the affairs
of closed banks. thus reducing the
cost of receiverships to a minimum
and conserving the assets for the de-
positors.
There is about s:so.ooo of the guar

Bank Of North Dakota, and it was
decided, according to o. e. Lofthus.
state examiner. to withdraw this
money and place it in private banks
in proportion to their payments.
When the guaranty fund money
first was assenb bled in the Bank Of
North Dakota it was charged that
this was done to bolster up the bank
at a critical period. No plans will be
made to pay off the depositors Of
closed banks pending the activities Of
