which has just resulted in the Su-

The Hamilton Bank instituted
the suit to end what was con-

national banks paid higher rate
than savings banks. The Hamil-
tons counsel prepared and pushed
the case through the lower courts
to the top tribunal. The bank paid
all legal costs. which ran into high
figures.
Some savings banks, fearing
higher taxes, opposed the Hamil.
