Senate approves state bank bill
The Bulkley bill to permit the re construction corporation to purchase notes and debentures of state banks in states where preferred stock must carry double liability was passed to night in the Senate. The bill, sponsored by Senator Bulkley D Ohio is designed to supplement the emergency bank bill passed by Congress last week. Under that bill banks were authorized to issue preferred stock in reorganizing without being subject to double liability. Some states, however, including Ohio, require that all stock must bear double liability, and the bill approved tonight and sent to the House will permit issuance of notes and debentures instead.
