Banking Supervision Sparks State Bank Debate in Harrisburg
The joint Legislative Committee wrapped up hearings in Harrisburg on banking methods in Pittsburg and Allegheny. Bankers urged state supervision of banks with private institutions exempt, urging a dedicated banking department and salaries of four to five thousand dollars for a governor-appointed examiner group, while some favored national bank models and warned against overreach. The commission adjourned to Philadelphia to reconvene next Friday.
