Senator Hayes Pushes Ohio Bonds for Savings Banks

In a Senate discussion Senator John J. Hayes proposed allowing savings banks to invest in legally issued bonds of Ohio cities including Cincinnati, if Cincinnati’s net indebtedness stays under five percent of valuation. He argued the measure would expand safe investment options, citing Cincinnati’s strong credit and large city status, and noted similar bills favoring Worcester and Nashua rail bonds. The debate touched on state acts defining net indebtedness and on Cincinnati’s debt and potential refunding with four percent bonds. The session also covered House actions on local issues, including jail expansion, water supply petitions, and salaries for police court judges.
