Three Man Board
In place of the five-man ap-
prisal board established by the Gull
hane bill, the Cohen measure sets
up a three-mant board composed
of one member named by the
state bank commissioner; one to be
u stakeholder of the closed bank;
the third to be a depositor Of the
closed institution. The Cohen bill
further clarifies that section of the
Culhane measure dealing with set
offs.
During the discussion of the Co.
hen bill, which was finally tabled
for the calendar, 1t was revealed
that the Culhanes bill had never
been given to Governor Cross. The
bill is still in the hands of, En-
crossing Clerk Richard Ireland Of
Norwalk. This information came
to light when democratic leaders
in both the senate and house
sought to ascertain why the gov
ernor had not approved or vetoed
the bill.
Under the statutes the bill must
be passed upon by the governor
not, later than five legislative days
after passage. Today was the fifth
