Directors must own at least ten shares, with one-year terms, and the state auditor gains power to close banks quickly if capital is impaired or business unsafe. The department urges reserves of 15 percent for country banks and 25 percent for Chicago institutions, urges renewal of notes and mortgages, and prohibits banks from holding their own stock as collateral.
