Swig Criticizes Bank Practices In Legislative Hearing
Judge Louis Swig charged several Massachusetts savings banks loaned at favored rates, some as low as one percent, with millions at under four percent. He cited the Missioner's 1918 report showing seven thousand five hundred dollars at one percent and loans totaling over 500 million at three and a half percent. Debate touched on liberalizing savings bank laws versus trust companies, with legislators arguing protections for depositors exist. Swig criticized high guaranty funds exceeding 50 million dollars and urged beneficiaries be depositors. Lawmakers Bliss and Worrall accused the legislature of being fooled by the bill’s title, while others urged repeal of the law. Banking interests plan to testify again Wednesday at 10:30.
