Banking and Currency Bill debated its impact on banks
From available sources about the city it is believed the Senate Banking and Currency Bill resembles bankers interests more than the original House bill.

Critics fear a potential money panic and inflated currency with a low gold reserve. Local farmers see little benefit, as past borrowing ease persists.
