North Carolina banking hearing weighs branch limits
Raleigh Feb 21 bankers from across the state testified before the joint banks and currency committees on measures restricting branch banking. The Williams bill would confine branches to the parent bank town and need corporation commission approval. Opponents argue it would stunt banking growth while supporters cite national trends and Britain's tighter branch system. Other bills would place industrial banks under the commission and require disclosure of total outstanding employee loans.
