Governor urges general law for safe deposit trust companies
Governor Russell urges passage of a general law to govern incorporation of safe deposit loan and trust firms, arguing eight charters granted recently are insufficient. He cites risks of mixing banking and other activities and favors supervision by savings bank commissioners under a broad statute rather than special acts. He has allowed the year's special charters to become law without approval to avoid endorsing special legislation.
