DENY RIGHT OF
COURT TO NAME
BANK RECEIVER
Answer of State Boards Hold
That Under Law Courts
Are Without Power
NJ DICKINSON CA

The policy of the Guaranty Fund
Commission toward administration OF
closed banks in the state is outlined
in an answer filed in the Stark cir
cult court by C. l.. Young, OF Bis
marck, attorney for the commission.
The answer is in the name OF the
Guaranty Fund Commission, State
Banking Board and state Of North Da
kota as intervenors In the cases in
which G. L. Merrick, of Minneapolis
asked the court to remove receivers OF
three banks appointed by the banking
board and to appoint receivers.
It is contended, Mr.. Young said, that
the courts have no power to interfere
with the administration OF insolvent
banks under the circumstances exist
ing in these cases. 1t is held that the
supervision is under the Guaranty
Fund Commission and the State Bank
ing Board.
Proposal on Receivers.
The proposal of the state boards for
the consolidation of receiverships
also is discussed in the answer. 1t
states that the boards as constituted
with changes made in the election
have determined to group insolvent
banks, where grouping thereof shall
he possible and place in charge OF
several of such banks conveniently
located single receiver qualified by
practical experience as banker and
business ability to manage the affairs
of said banks in proper and busi-
nesslike manner" aH
1t is further stated that under the
proposed grouping, made public few
days ago in which the number Of re-
ceivers would be reduced half o1
more, to group the three banks in
volyed under one receiver. The three
banks are the Security State of New
England. Slope County Bank Of Ami
don, and Farmers State Bank of Have
lock-
Purpose in Future.
The answer of the intervenors sets
out that at the time the banks became
insolvent the state examiner then in
office was appointed receiver TOY
each and his appointment in each
case was approved by the state bank
ing board. The Guaranty Fund Com
mission has levied assessments since
the failures began last year and will
in due course pay the depositors. The
commission under the law is the prin-
cipal creditor of each bank. 1t sets
out that the change Of administration
has caused change in the personnel
of the guaranty fund board and bank
ing board and that new state ex.
aminer is in office.
! 1t declares that under the direc.
tion AMI supervision of the Guaranty
Fund Commission and Banking BoarG
as now constituted the affairs of tht
banks will be handled so as to pro
tect all creditors and stockholders
! and all parties interested.
The case is scheduled to be hearf
! in Dickinson Dec 20. The Guarant,
Fund Commission will also, it is an
nounced, ask Judge Lembke to vacatt
an order appointing receiver for th'
Slope County bank. The commission
was informed that upon representa-
tions by Leslie Simpson. as attorne!
for creditors, Judge Lembke did NAM
a new receiver for this bank.
