R E PO R T OF T H E C O M M ISSIO N E R .
ST AT E OF M IC H IG A N ,
Banking Department,
Lansing, December 31, 1924.
To the Honorable Alex. J. Groesbeck, Governor, State of Michigan:
The thirty-sixth annual report of the Commissioner of the Banking Department for the State
of Michigan is herewith submitted in compliance with Section (43) of the general banking laws
for the year ending December 31, 1924.
I desire to review briefly the excellent growth of institutions under the supervision of this
Department for the past four years during which I have had the honor to supervise banks under
state control. This growth signifies a prosperous condition in Michigan and indicates the
confidence placed by the public in state banking institutions.
On the call for report of condition as of April 28, 1921, the aggregate number of 567 state
banking institutions showed total resources of $1,003,789,400.16. The abstract of reports of
condition as of October 8,1924, showed total assets of the 600 institutions to be $1,268,746,262.24,
or an increase in the number of state banking institutions of 33 and increase in net resources
of $264,956,862.08. During the past year a continued growth will be observed as shown by
abstracts of statements as of December 31, 1923, and call of December 31, 1924. Between
these dates total banking resources increased $113,423,304.66 or 9.61 per cent.
A t the date of this report there are 722 incorporated banking institutions within the state,
600 of which are state institutions with resources of approximately $1,292,773,920.00 under
the supervision of this Department. The balance or 122 are national banks with approxi­
mate resources of $501,855,000.00.
During the period covered by this report 16 new state banks have been granted charters to
do both a commercial and a savings bank business. One trust company chartered.
During the course of my administration, it has been the object of every effort to increase the
protection afforded the public by increasing the thoroughness and efficiency of the examining
force. I believe considerable progress has been made in this direction.
It has been our endeavor at all times to cooperate with Michigan bankers and to assist them
in solving their many problems in every way consistent with the public welfare. The Depart­
ment believes its trust consists not only of the most adequate public protection but in such
cooperation as will tend toward bettering banking conditions. Obviously the fullest realization
cannot be obtained without adequate means to establish and maintain the most highly trained
and efficient corps of examiners possible.
The general tendencies of the year up to October 8, 1924, as reflected in the condition of Mich­
igan state banks are indicated by the following comparative statements:

R EPO RT OF T H E C O M M ISSIO N E R .
N U M B E R OF STATE B A N K S A N D T R U S T C O M P A N IE S .

There are at the date of this report, under the supervision of the Department, 585 state
banks, 2 industrial banks and 13 trust companies transacting business in Michigan.
F IN A N C IA L C O N D IT IO N .

Reports showing the condition of all state banks and trust companies will be found on pages
3 to 325 inclusive. Reports of condition were called for by the Department and made by the
banks at the close of business December 31, 1923, March 31, June 30, October 8 and December
31, 1924. The report of October 8, as to each state bank and trust company, will appear in the
Department’s annual report for the year 1924.
In order that the annual report may be in the hands of the public in time to be of use as a book
of reference, this plan of publishing reports has been adopted.
Statements of condition of each national bank in Michigan will be found on pages 329 to
390 inclusive.
Again included are the statistics of the state and national banks located in Detroit and statistics
of the state and national banks by counties.
N U M B E R OF E X A M IN A T IO N S .

The examining staff of the Department during the year 1924 made examinations as follows:
First examinations...................................................................................................
Second examinations...............................................................................................
Preliminary examinations.................................... •............... •••........................
Special examinations.....................................

598
262
878

All state banks have been examined during the year as well as each of the trust companies.
Preliminary examinations consist of examination of new banks under Section 7 of the banking
law, which is incumbent upon the Department to make precedent to the issuance of certificate
of authority to commence business.
On October 22, 1923, the Department discontinued writing letters of criticism and in lieu
thereof the examiner in charge of the examination lays before the board of directors all matters
which are subject to criticism or adjustment with the request that the secretary, by the authority
of the board of directors, write the Department that all such matters of criticism have been
corrected.
All state banks with the exception of those organized during the year have made four reports
of condition, two reports of earnings and dividends, two reports showing results of directors
examinations and also special reports whenever the Department has deemed it necessary to require
the same. Oaths of directors, signatures of officers and list of stockholders together with a
report as to the number of depositors are furnished the Department each year by each state
bank.

The General Banking Law of the State of Michigan does not specify a definite date on which
state banks are to make a report of their earnings and dividends. It provides, however, that
each bank shall report to the Commissioner of the Banking Department within ten days after
declaring any dividend, such reports showing amount of dividend, amount carried to surplus
and any earnings in excess thereof. The custom of the Department in this respect is to call for
a report of earnings and dividends as of June 30 and December 31 of each year.

An increase of 35,378 is shown in the number of commercial depositors of state banks for the
year, while the increase in number of savings depositors is 112,543, constituting a total increase
in number of depositors of state banks of 147,921. During the year the number of commercial
depositors in Michigan national banks has increased 11,467 and the number of savings depositors
has decreased 9,049, making a total increase for national banks of 2,418.
The total increase in number of depositors in both state and national banks for the year
1924 is therefore 150,339.

An analysis of the above shows conclusively that the commercial needs of the state have not
been restricted on account of the operation of the law. The report of October 8, 1924, shows
commercial or business needs were amply supplied. State banks on that date had discounts
of this character in the savings department aggregating $97,761,188.50 notwithstanding the fact
that they could, if necessary, have availed themselves to the amount of $138,510,904.00.

M E M B E R BA N K S OF F E D E R A L R E SERVE S Y ST E M .

There are 163 state banks which are members of the Federal Reserve System with aggregate
resources of $893,708,676.85 upon December 31, 1924, which evidences 69.13 per cent of the total
resources of state banks in Michigan upon that date.
The Federal Reserve Act provides that state bank members shall retain their statutory state
right after becoming a member of the Federal Reserve System, and the reserve requirements
of member banks are governed— after they become such members— by the Federal Reserve Act,
rather than the provisions of the state banking law.
The Federal Reserve Act provides that the Federal Reserve Board may accept in lieu of their
own examinations of member state banks, the examinations made by the respective state de­
partments having supervision over them. The examinations of this department have been
accepted without question by the Federal Reserve Board.

OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.
EXCESSIVE LOANS.

On account o f the importance o f the subject o f excessive loans I deem it advisable to
again publish the construction o f section 52 o f the Banking Law in this regard as submitted
to this department by the Attorney General in the year 1903:
(!)

Lansing, Mich., May 23, 1903.

Hon. George W. Moore, Commissioner of Banking, Lansing, Michigan:
Dear Sir— I am in receipt o f your communication o f the 19th inst., referring to the Gener 4.Banking Law o f this State, and requesting my opinion upon the following questions:
“ First, How much money may the directors of a bank loan to any person, or company, or
corporation, or firm, by a two-thirds votq of its board of directors?
Second, How much money may any bank loan on any one line of commercial paper?
Third, May a bank increase the first named line by the bond or personal endorsement of
the officers or directors of a firm, company or corporation, or by the assignment of value as
collateral?”
In considering these questions I desire to call your attention to section 6141 o f the Com­
piled Laws, being section 52 o f the General Banking Law of this State, which provides in
part as follow s: “ The total liabilities to any bank or any person or any company, cor­
poration or firm for moneys advanced including in the liabilities o f the company or firm the
liability o f the several members thereof, except special partners, shall at no time exceed onetenth part o f the amount o f the capital and surplus o f such bank; but the discount o f bills
o f exchange drawn in good faith against actually existing values and the discount of com­
mercial or business paper actually owned by the person negotiating the same shall not be
considered as money borrowed: Provided, however, That the foregoing
limitations shall not
apply to loans on real estate or other collateral securities authorized by this act: Provided,
however, That by a two-thirds vote o f the directors the liabilities to any bank or any person,
or company, or corporation, or firm may be increased to a sum not exceeding one-fifth of the
capital and surplus o f the bank.”
It is evident that this limitation was borrowed from the National Banking Law, section
5200 o f the Revised Statutes o f the United States, providing as follow s: “ The total liabilities
o f any association, or any person, or any company, corporation, or firm for money borrowed,
including in the liabilities o f the company or firm the liabilities of the several members there­
of shall at no time exceed one-tenth part o f the amount of capital stock of such association
actually paid in ; but the discount o f bills o f exchange drawn in good faith against actually
existing values, and the discount o f commercial or business paper actually owned by the per­
son negotiating the same, shall not be considered as money borrowed.”
This provision, as found in our General Banking Law and also in the National Banking
Law, has never been construed by the courts in so far as it relates to the particular question
submitted by you.
The Supreme Court o f Pennsylvania, in the case o f O’Hare v. Second National Bank of
Titusville, 77 Pa. St., 102 referring to this provision in its application to national banks,
makes use o f the following language: “ Evidently the limitation o f the indebtedness to the
one-tenth in the 29th section, was intended as a general rule for conducting the business of
the bank, a rule laid down from experience to regulate its loans for its own best interest and
those o f stockholders and creditors, not a rule to regulate its customers. It was as remarked
in Fowler v. Scully, a regulation to prevent these associations from splitting on the rock
which has ruined so many banks, to wit, that of lending too much of their capital to one
person or firm. The intention being to protect the association and its stockholders and credit­
ors from unwise banking, we cannot suppose it was meant to injure them by forbidding re­
covery o f the injudicious loans.”
In Vol. 29 o f the Amer. & Eng. Ency. o f Laws, 2nd ed. p. 382, we find the following with
respect to the limitation found in the National Banking L aw : “ The object o f this provision
o f the statute was to guard National banks from the hazard of speculative loans, but it con­
templated and permitted to an unlimited amount the discount o f paper used and required in
facilitating the transfer o f property and money in the transaction o f the legitimate business
o f the country.” Citing Oswego Second National Bank v. Burt, 93 N. Y . 244.
It was evidently the intent o f the legislature, in enacting the provision above referred to,
as found in the banking law o f this State, to guard the banks organized thereunder from the
hazard o f speculative loans, and to prevent such banks from advancing or loaning too much
o f their money to any one person, firm or corporation, and in construing the statute with
respect to the exception, it is necessary to keep constantly in mind the purpose of the limita­
tion, and not to construe the provision relating to the exceptions therefrom in such a way as
to destroy the force and effect o f the limitation itself. The exceptions to which I refer relate
to the discount o f bills o f exchange drawn in good faith against actually existing values, and
the discount o f commercial or business paper, actually owned by the person negotiating the
same, and which, in my opinion, should be strictly construed and should be held to apply to no
transaction that did not clearlv and fully come within the provisions of the statute in this
particular. Black on interpretation o f Laws, 275.
T find that the questions which you submit for my consideration are quite fully considered
in Pratt’s Digest, pages 93-94-95, in their application to national banks, but I am unable to
concur in some o f the conclusions reached, which do not seem to be based upon judicial deci­
sions, and which, in my opinion, tend to defeat the very purpose of the limitation. It is an
elementary proposition recognized by the courts with respect to statutory or constitutional

DEPARTM ENT

inhibitions, that you cannot do indirectly that which you are prohibited from doing directly.
In their application to commercial paper, the terms “ loans” and “ discounts” are synonymous.
Amer. & Eng. Ency. o f Law, Vol. 21, 2nd ed, 381. The question who is borrower is not
always to be determined from the position o f the parties as they appear on the paper. The
borrower may be the maker or the indorser. Pratt’s Digest, 94. Our statute provides that in
the discount o f commercial or business paper actually owned by the person negotiating the
same, it shall not be considered as money borrowed. The application of this provision, in
my opinion, relates exclusively to the person negotiating the paper. The statute contem­
plates that he alone shall be considered as not receiving a loan from the bank. • With re­
spect to the maker o f such paper who is primarily liable, if such maker lias received credit
at the bank to the full limit imposed by law, the bank should not be permitted to discount
such paper, as in that event the liability o f the maker would exceed the liability permitted
by the General Banking Law, and if such a transaction should be permitted, it would indi­
rectly defeat the very purpose foiJ which this limitation was imposed.
In determining the questions submitted by you, I realize that there may be some doubt
as to the proper construction o f these provisions in the absence of any judicial determination
as to their proper meaning. In view o f the fact that several banks of this State organ­
ized under the General Banking Law, are subject to State supervision, not only for the pro­
tection o f the banks themselves, but for the protection of the persons doing business with
such banks, the laws relating thereto, should be constructed in such a manner as to afford
such protection in every possible way, until such time as the courts may determine other­
wise.
.
. .
In answer to your first question, I would therefore say that, in my opinion, the amount
which the directors o f a bank would be authorized to loan to any person, or company, or cor­
poration, or firm, by a two-thirds vote o f its board o f directors, would not exceed one-fifth
o f the capital and surplus o f the bank, and it would be immaterial whether such loan was
secured or unsecured, excepting o f course, loans on real estate or other collateral securities
authorized by the General Banking Law.
In answer to your second question, I would say that the same rule would apply to any one
line o f commercial paper that would apply to any one person, company, firm or corporation.
In answer to your third question, I would say that, in my opinion, it is immaterial
whether such loan is secured by the bond or personal endorsement of the officers or directors
o f the firm, company, or corporation, or by the assignment o f value as collateral, except
where such loan is made upon real estate or other collateral securities recognized by the
General Banking Law. In this connection I call your attention to the rule laid down in the
Amer. & Eng. Ency. o f Law, Vol. 21, 2nd ed. page 382, to the effect that “ Drafts may be
bona fide bills o f exchange drawn upon actual existing values within the meaning o f the
statute, though not accompanied by specific bills o f lading in each case. It is sufficient
if they are drawn against property previously consigned and existing either in its original
form or in the shape o f proceeds o f sales in the hands o f the consignees.” This rule, o f
course, applies to the federal statute. The state and federal statute being identical in this
particular, unquestionably the same rule would apply to a bank organized under the Gen­
eral Banking Law1 o f this State.
Respectfully yours,
C h a s . A. B l a i r ,

Attorney General.
The following opinions have been rendered during the years 1007, 1908, 1909, 1910, 1911,
1912, 1913, 1914, 1915 and 1916 by the Attorney General’s Department on questions con­
cerning the construction o f the Banking Law.
CORPORATION STOCKS NOT TRUST COMPANY INVESTMENTS.

(2)

Lansing, Michigan, March 21, 1907.

Hon. Henry M. Zimmermann, Banking Commissioner, Lansing, Mich.:
Dear Sir— This department has given careful consideration of your inquiry o f the 13th
inst. as to whether trust companies organized under Act No. 108 o f the Public Acts o f 1889
have the right to invest in the stocks o f the Savings Banks; and particularly to the question
as to whether section 11 o f this act (Compiled Laws of 1897, Section 6166) permits such
investment.
It is the opinion o f this department that there is no general right under the laws of the
State on the part o f trust companies to invest in the stock o f other corporations; and fur­
ther that the clause in Section 11 o f the above act. which authorizes the directors to invest
in “ such real or personal securities as they may deem proper” does not authorize invest­
ment ir. the stock o f private corporations.
Respectfully yours,
J

no.

AUTHORITY TO SUBSCRIBE ARTICLES

OF INCORPORATION

AS “ TRUSTEE”

REQUIRED.

Lansing, Michigan, August 7, 1907.

Hon. Henry M. Zimmermann, Commissioner State Banking Department, “ Capitol,” Lansing:
Dear Sir— It appears that steps are being taken to organize a bank under the General
Banking Laws o f this State, with a capital stock o f $100,000. From the articles of association
which have been prepared, it appears that approximately, sixty per cent o f such capital
stock has been subscribed for by certain persons designated as “ trustees” ; that such articles
do not disclose the names or residences o f the cestui que trust in any instance, or the authority
o f the persons subscribing as trustee to act in that capacity.

In this connection, you ask my opinion as to whether or not it would be proper for you to
issue the certificate o f authority provided for by section 7 o f the General Banking Law.
In reply thereto would say that section 2 o f the Banking Law requires the persons assodating in the organization o f a bank to execute articles o f incorporation, which shall specity,
among other things, “ The names and places o f residence o f the stockholders and the number
o f shares held by each o f them.” The latter part o f section 4 provides as follow s:
No bank
shall transact any business except such as is incidental and necessarily preliminary to its
organization until it has been authorized by the Commissioner of the Banking Department to
commence the business o f banking.” The articles o f incorporation are required to be executed
in triplicate, one to be recorded in the office o f the county clerk of the county in which the
bank is located; one filed in the office o f the Commissioner of the Banking Department; and
one filed in the office o f the Secretary o f State. When such articles o f incorporation are
properly executed and filed and recorded, as required by law, and the Commissioner ot the
Banking Department is notified that at least fifty per cent, of its capital has been paid in, and
that such bank has complied with all the provisions o f the general banking law ; before the
bank shall be authorized to commence business, the Commissioner is required to examine into
the condition o f such bank, and if it is found that such organization is in accordance with the
statute and that the various provisions o f the law have been complied with a certificate ot
authority to engage in the business o f banking is issued by such Commissioner. When the
statute is not complied with in any essential particular, it is clearly my opinion that such
certificate o f authority should be withheld. It seems to me that articles o f incorporation
which do not fully disclose the name and residence o f the cestui que trust, where the stock
is subscribed for by a trustee, and which also fails to disclose the authority to subscribe
for such stock in that capacity, do not conform to the requirements of the general banking
law, and under such conditions as you have outlined, it would be your duty to refuse to
issue the certificate o f authority provided for by law.

CERTIFICATES OF INDEBTEDNESS ARE LEGAL INVESTMENTS.

Lansing, Michigan, October 23, 1907.

Hon. H. M. Zimmermann, Commissioner o f the Banking Department, “ Capitol,” Lansing:
My Dear Sir— I am in receipt o f your communication o f the 16th inst., in which you ask
whether or not certificates o f indebtedness issued in payment fo r voting machines under the
provisions o f section 13 o f Act 217 o f the Public Acts o f 1905 are proper investments for sav­
ings banks under subdivision (b), section 27 o f the General Banking Law, which provides
that a certain portion o f the savings deposits o f such banks shall be invested as follows:
“ (b). In the public debt or bonds o f any city, county, township, village or school district
o f any state or territory in the United States, which shall have been authorized by the legis­
lature o f such state or territory : Provided the total indebtedness of such municipality does
not exceed five per cent o f its assessed valuation, except by a vote o f two-thirds o f the board of
directors, such bonds may be purchased if the total liabilities do not exceed ten per cent.
You also state that it has always been the ruling o f the Banking Department that the
terms “ public debt” and “ bonds” were synonymous and that an issue of bonds, in order to be
a proper investment for savings banks under this subdivision must previously have received
the approval o f the voters o f the municipality issuing the bonds.
For answer to your inquiry I would say it is my opinion that the ruling of your depart­
ment places too narrow a construction upon the Statute. The terms “ public debt” and “ bonds”
are not synonymous. The term “ public debt” includes not only a bonded debt, but also other
form o f public indebtedness.
State v. Hickman, 11 Mont. 541, and cases cited.
The statute under which certificates o f indebtedness are issued in payment for voting
machines reads as follows :
“ The local authorities, on the adoption and purchase o f a voting machine, may provide
for the payment therefor in such manner as they may deem fo r the best interest of the locality
and may for that purpose issue bonds, certificates o f indebtedness or other obligations, which
shall be a charge on the city, town or village. Such bonds, certificates or other obligations
may be issued with or without interest, payable at such time or times as the authorities may
determine, but shall not be issued or sold at less than par.”
The legislature has the undoubted right to authorize debts of this character to be incurred
without the vote o f the electors o f the municipality.
Callan v. The City o f Saginaw, 50 Mich. 7.
I airi o f the opinion that the certificates o f indebtedness issued under authority o f this
section come within the term “ public debt” as used in subdivision (b), section 27 o f the
General Banking Law, and that, consequently, savings banks may lawfully invest their funds
in such certificates o f indebtedness.

STRICTLY COMMERCIAL BANKS MUST AMEND ARTICLES TO TRANSACT SAVINGS BUSINESS.

( 5)

Lansing, Michigan, October 28, 1907.

Hon. H. M. Zimmermann, Commissioner, Banking Department, “ Capitol,” Lansing:
Dear Sir— I am in receipt o f your communication o f the 16th inst., requesting an opinion
upon the question o f whether or not a bank organized as a purely commercial bank under the
General Banking Law o f the State is authorized to advertise for savings deposits and do a
general banking business under the exception contained in section 24 of that law, which pro­
vides :
“ Commercial banks may allow interest on accounts or certificates o f deposit, but all de­
posits in such banks shall be payable on demand without notice, except when the contract
o f deposit otherwise provides.”
For answer Thereto, I would say that the General Banking Law in section 1 provides that
any number o f persons, not less than five, “ may associate to establish offices o f discount
and deposit, to be known as commercial banks, and also to establish offices of loan and de­
posit to be known as savings banks, or to establish banks having departments fo r both
classes o f business,” etc.
Under section 2 o f the General Banking Law, the articles of incorporation are required
to specify the nature o f the business to be carried on, whether that of a commercial bank,
savings bank, or both. Sections 23, 24 and 25 o f the same law contain certain provisions
referring to “ any bank which, by its articles o f incorporation, shall designate its business as
that o f a commercial bank;” and section 26 and succeeding sections o f the same law contain
provisions governing “ any bank which by its articles of incorporation shall designate its busi­
ness as that o f a savings bank;” and section 29 contains provisions governing “ any bank
combining the business o f a commercial bank and a savings bank” and provides that “ all
receipts, investments and transactions relating to each of said classes o f business shall be
governed by the provisions and restrictions herein specifically provided for the respective
kind o f banks.”
Reading all these provisions o f the General Banking Law together, it is clear that it was
not intended to permit a bank organized as a strictly commercial bank to engage in the busi­
ness o f a savings bank, and that the exception contained in section 24, to which reference has
been made, was not intended to have that effect. Before a commercial bank, organized as
such can conduct a savings bank business, it must amend its articles o f incorporation so
as to provide fo r conducting both classes o f business.

BANKS CANNOT EXTEND THEIR CREDIT TO AN INDIVIDUAL OR BANK.

Hon. H. M. Zimmermann, Commissioner, Banking Department, “ Capitol,” Lansing:
Dear Sir— I have your communication o f June 5th, enclosing certain correspondence with
the................................................... bank.
It appears from your communication that this bank, by an arrangement with certain pri­
vate banks, permits the latter to issue drafts payable out o f the funds o f the form er bank
on deposit with its correspondent banks at New York and Chicago. You state that you have
taken the position that such practice is illegal, and request an opinion as to the propriety of
this holding.
Replying thereto would say, any attempt upon the part o f any bank to permit anyone or
any institution to issue drafts payable out o f its deposit with correspondent banks is an
attempt to perform an act and permit an arrangement not authorized by law. The bank pos­
sesses no authority to extend its credit to any individual or bank in the manner set forth in
your communication. Such a practice may operate to the detriment o f depositors and may
impair the faith and credit o f the bank. The practice in question is without authority o f law.
You possess general power under the statute to prohibit such practice and it is the duty o f the
officials o f the bank to cancel this arrangement.

SIMILARITY OF TRUST COMPANY TITLES.

June 30, 1908,

Hon. Henry M. Zimmermann, Commissioner o f Banking, Lansing, Michigan:
Dear Sir— I am in receipt o f yours o f the 19th instant, in which you state that a certain
corporation organized under Act 232, Public Acts o f 1903 as the “ . ................................... and trust
Company” is engaged in the business o f selling various kinds o f securities, and request the
opinion o f this department as to whether it is permissible for such a concern to do business
under a name so closely allied to that o f institutions organized under Act 108, Public Acts of
1889, under which trust companies are organized.
Subdivision 1 o f section 2 o f Act 232, Public Acts o f 1903, contains this proviso:
“ No name shall be assumed already in use by any other existing corporation o f this State,
or corporation lawfully carrying on business in this State, or so nearly similar as to lead to
uncertainty or confusion.”
Under the decisions o f the courts o f this State, it seems to be clear that the question o f the
right to use a corporate name not identical with that o f another existing corporation depends
upon whether the names are so similar that persons would be likely to deal with one concern
when they believed in good faith they were dealing with the other.

FOREIGN BANKS NOT PERMITTED TO ENGAGE IN BUSINESS IN

STATE.

(g)

July 29, 1908.

Hon. Henry M. Zimmermann, Commissioner o f Banking, “ Capitol,” Lansing:
Dear Sir— W e are in receipt o f yours o f the 3rd instant, in which you enclose a letter from
Reginald F. Fennell, under date o f June 20, 1908, in which lie submits the following inquiry:
“ Is there any license necessary or other legal form required to be gone through with for
banks doing business outside o f the State o f Michigan, to establish an agency or representative
in this State? In the event o f there being any restriction, kindly advise to what extent.”
In reply to this inquiry will say that the legislature has by statute prescribed strict con­
ditions to be complied with by corporations desiring to engage in the business o f banking, or
in loaning or investing money. There is no statutory provision which _ permits foreign cor­
porations to come into this State for the purpose o f engaging in that kind of business. The
fact that the legislature has seen fit to lay down these conditions for domestic corporations
desiring to engage in such business and to place them under the supervision o f the State
Banking Department indicates clearly an intention on the part o f the legislature to prohibit
foreign corporations from engaging in such business.
In this connection we desire to call your attention to) the case of—
New York Mortgage Co. v. Sec. o f State. 150 Mich. 197, 202,
which was a mandamus proceeding against the Secretary o f State to compel the issuance o f a
license to do business in this State to a corporation desiring to engage in the business of
making “ loans secured by mortgages on real estate,’ to sell such mortgages and bonds o f this
company secured by mortgages on real estate, but said bonds are not to be sold on the install­
ment plan.”
In response to the contention o f the relator in that case that it should be admitted to do
business under our foreign corporation law, the court said:
“ In other words such construction would onerate as to such foreign corporations as a
repeal o f all the beneficial and protective provisions o f Act No. 205, Public Acts o f 1877. To
hold that such was the legislative intent would be contrary to every suggestion that arises to
the mind, upon the consideration o f the proposition. Our construction of the act is that
banking corporations and those corporations which are within the contemplation of our bank­
ing laws are not within the provisions o f the act authorizing foreign corporations to transact
business in this State.”
In view o f the above, we are o f the opinion that foreign banks have no right to engage in
business in this state, or to establish an agency or representative in this State for the trans­
action o f business. W e return Mr. Fennell’s letter herewith. V ery respectfully yours,

May 27, 1909.

Henry M. Zimmermann, Commissioner o f the Banking Department, Capitol, Lansing,
M ichigan:
Dear Sir—I am in receipt o f your letter o f the 29th ultimo in which you state that a bank
organized with a capital o f $20,000.00 in a village adjacent to a large city subsequently
became located within the corporate limits o f the city bv an extension o f the boundaries o f the
city to include the territory form erly embraced within' the limits o f the village; the bank thus
coming into the city with a Lanital less than is required by statutes o f banks organized within
the city. You also state that it is now suggested that this bank may establish branches within
the city and request an opinion1upon the following:
First, Whether or not you have the authority to require a bank organized in a village, when
it becomes located in a city by the extension o f the corporate limits o f the city, to increase its
capital in accordance with the number o f inhabitants o f the city.
Second, Whether or not a State bank has authority to establish branches in the city or
village in which it is authorized by its articles of incorooration to transact business.
In reply will say that Section 1 o f the General Banking Law, (Section 6090 C. L .j pro­
vides fo r the establishment o f commercial and savings banks in cities and villages in the State
and prescribes the minimum capital that banks may have, based on the population o f the
city or village in which the bank is to be located.
Section 2 o f the act provides that the articles o f incorporation shall specify among other
things:

“ The county and city or village where such bank is to be located and to

conduct its

)US Section 7 provides that upon compliance with the statute the Commissioner o f the Banking
Department shall give the bank a certificate under his hand and official seal that the bank
has complied with the statute and is authorized to commence business.
The contingency arising in the case o f the bank to which you refer apparently was not
anticipated by the framers o f the General Banking Law, as that law contains no provision
requiring a bank to establish within a village which becomes located in a city by reason ol the
extension o f the corporate limits o f the city to increase its capital in accordance with the
population o f that city. Neither is there in the Banking Law any provision requiring a bank
after its organization within a city o f certain population to increase its capital as the popula­
tion o f the city increases.
.
„
. ,. ,
..
The bank upon complying with the provisions o f the statute was given the right by the
State to conduct its business within the village. It did not voluntarily remove to the city
but became located therein by operation of law through the extension o f the corporate limits
o f the city. The provision o f the statute, requiring banks to have a certain capital according
to the population, evidently has reference to the establishment o f banks in the first instance.
As heretofore stated, a bank once lawfully established with the required capital according to
the population o f the city is not required to increase its capital although the population ot the
city may increase to such an extent that a new bank could not be established therein without
having a much larger capital. A careful consideration o f the provisions o f the General Bank­
ing Law leads me to the conclusion that a bank once lawfully established in a village with the
required capital in accordance with Section 1 o f the General Banking Law is not required
under the provisions o f that law to increase its capital when it becomes located within a city
by reason o f the extension o f the corporate limits o f the city to include the village.
For answer to your second question I would say that no authority to establish branches is
conferred upon banks by any provision o f the laws o f this State. In the absence ^o f statute a
bank has no authority to establish branches at which a general banking business is conducted.
Magee on Banks and Banking, page 41.
Atty. Gen. v. Oakland Co. Bank, Walk, page 90.
While a bank has no authority to establish branches unless expressly authorized by statute
so to do, it seems that it may have an agency for the transaction of some parts o f its busi­
ness in the city or village designated in its charter as the place where the bank is to be located
and to conduct its business.
. .
.
. . .
In Magee on Banking, page 41, are compiled the provisions in force in the ditterent states
relating to the subject and o f this State it is said:
“ There is no law authorizing the establishment o f branches. Agencies are permitted which
are restricted in their operations to receiving and paying out of deposits and issuing exchange:
and several instances o f banks located in the cities o f Detroit and Lansing having established
agencies o f this character are noted.
The agencies established by the banks at the cities indicated have been conducted by the
banks for some time and the right o f the banks to establish such agencies does not appear to
have been heretofore questioned by the banking departmnt or any officer o f the State. In
view o f the foregoing I am o f the opinion that a bank may establish agencies of the character
o f those indicated herein within the limits o f the city or village in which the bank is
located. Inasmuch as a bank originally located in a village, and which becomes located in
a city by the extension o f the corporate limits o f the city, has authority to conduct its busi­
ness within the city, it would have the same right to establish agencies of this character as a
bank originally organized within the city.
Respectfully yours,

NOTES AND SECURITIES DEPOSITED W IT H TRUST COMPANIES NOT LEGAL SAVINGS
INVESTMENTS.

May 27, 1909.
Hon. Henry M. Zimmermann, Commissioner o f the Banking Department, Capitol, Lansing,
M ichigan:
Dear Sir— I am in receipt o f your letter o f the 29th ultimo in which you ask whether or
not notes and securities representing fractional parts o f large loans where the security is
deposited with a trust company are legal investments for a State bank under Section 27 o f
the General Banking Law (Section 6116 C. L.) as amended by Act 322 o f the Public Acts of
1907.
in reply would say that this section provides in subdivision (i) that a certain portion
o f the savings deposits o f the bank shall be invested by the board o f directors as follow s:
“ Upon notes or bonds secured by mortgage lien upon unencumbered real estate worth at
least double the amount loaned; the remainder o f such deposits may be invested in notes,
bills or other evidences o f debt the payment o f which is secured by the deposit with the
bank, o f collateral security consisting o f personal property or securities o f known marketable
value, worth ten per cent more than the amount so loaned and interest for the time of
the loa n ; or may be invested in notes, bills or other evidence o f debt, the payment o f which
is secured by such property or securities deposited in a collateral deposit company organized
under the laws o f this State.”
It is evident that the notes and securities in question come within the class last referred
to in this subdivision, to-wit: “ notes, or bills or other evidence o f debt, the payment o f
which is secured by such property or securities deposited in a collateral deposit company
organized under the laws o f this State.”
_
This provision was incorporated in this subdivision of Section 27 by Act No. 322, Public
Acts o f 1907. The same legislature enacted a law providing for the incorporation o f “ safety
and collateral deposit companies,” the same being Act No. 240 o f the Public Acts o f 1907,
having power under the provisions o f Section 9:

These acts were passed by the same legislature; are in pari materia and must be construed
together. Thus construed, the collateral deposit companies organized under the laws ot this
State referred to in the amendment to the General Banking Law must be held to refer to
collateral deposit companies organized under the provisions of Act 240 ot the Public Acts
o f 1907. I am informed that at this time there are no collateral deposit companies organized
in this State under that act. Consequently, I am o f opinion that savings banks have no
authority to invest their funds in notes and securities under subdivision (1) ot section 2,
of the General Banking Law where the security for the same is deposited with a trust

REQUIREMENTS IN

CONNECTION W IT H INCREASE OF CAPITAL STOCK OF BANKS AFFECTED
BY EXTENSION OF CORPORATE LIMITS.

Nov. 1 2 , 1909.

(ID
Hon. Henry M. Zimmermann, Commissioner o f Banking, Capitol, Lansing:

Dear Sir— Replying to your letter o f the 19th ult., in which you request our opinion as to
whether the................................. Bank which was located in the village o f ..................................recently
annexed to the city o f .........................................may increase its capital stock from twenty thousand
dollars to fifty thousand dollars, will say that we held, in an opinion to you under date o f
May 9, 1909, that this bank could not be deprived of its right to do business under its
original incorporation with a capital stock o f twenty thousand dollars, by the fact o f an­
nexation o f the village o f ........................... to the city o f ......................... We reached that conclusion
by reason o f the fact that the bank was lawfully incorporated with a capital o f twenty thou­
sand dollars to do business i n . . .
; that the annexation o f ...........................placed the
bank in the city o f ............................. without its consent, and that it could not be thus deprived
o f its right to do business under its original incorporation.
.
Now, however, this bank proposes, by its own voluntary act to increase its capital stock,
thus in a measure, effecting a reorganization. The whole aim and purpose o f the statute,
Section 1 o f the General Banking Law, is to provide a minimum capital for banks graded
according to the population o f the
city or village in which they are situated. In order to
prevent a reduction o f the capital below the minimum, it is provided in Section 10 that “ no
reduction shall be made to a less amount than is required in Section 1 for capital.” To per­
mit this bank to substantially re-organize by increasing its capital, without increasing its
capital stock to at least the minimum amount required for the city o f ......................... would in
my judgment, do violence to the intent o f the legislature, as expressed in Sections 1 and 10
o f the Banking Law, to which I have referred. The bank is now a corporation o f the city
o f ......................... The law relating to the amount o f capital stock in ......................... is different
than in .........................
.
While I do not think the bank could be deprived o f its right to continue during the period
of its coroporate existence, with a capital o f twenty thousand dollars, by the annexation, I am
constrained to hold that in taking advantage o f the statute relative to the increase o f capital
stock it must be governed by the provision o f the statute applicable to the city o f .............................
and must, therefore, if it increases its capital at all, increase it to at least the minimum
amount required for cities having a population o f over one hundred and ten thousand inhab­
itants, as prescribed by Section 1 o f the Banking Law.
Very truly yours,

CONSTITUENT CORPORATIONS ENTITLED TO TW ENTY PER CENT LOAN LIM IT.

Hon. Henry M. Zimmermann, Commissioner of Banking, Capitol, Lansing;
Dear Sir— We are in receipt of your letter of the 14th instant in which you ask:
“ In this state, where a corporation is in operation and control of other corporations by
having acquired a majority of the stock of such corporations what would be the limitation of
credit lines which might be extended these corporations, both parent and subsidiary, by our
State banks, under the Banking Law, exclusive of real estate or other collateral loans author­
ized by statute?”
Section 6141, C. L. 1897, as amended, being Section 52 o f the Banking Law, provides as
follows :
“ The total liabilities to any bank of any person or of any company, corporation or firm for
moneys advanced, including in the liabilities of the company or firm, the liabilities of the
several members thereof, except special partners, shall at no time exceed one-tenth part of
the amount of the capital and surplus of such bank, but the discount of bills of exchange
drawn in good faith against actually existing values and the discount of commercial or
business paper actually owned by the person negotiating the same shall not be considered
as money borrowed: * * * Provided, however, That by a two-thirds vote of directors,
the liabilities to any bank of any person or company or corporation or firm may be increased
to a sum not exceeding one-fifth of the capital and surplus of bank. * * * ”

It will be noted that in the case o f a company or firm the line o f credit includes the lia­
bilities o f the company or firm and the several members thereof, except special partners,
while no such restriction appears in the case o f the corporation. Corporations are recog­
nized by law as distinct legal entities regardless o f the ownership o f the stock. While we
appreciate the fact that the effect o f extending a 20 per cent, line o f credit to each corpo­
ration might in some cases be equivalent in its effect to extending a 40 per cent line of
credit to one corporation, yet we are satisfied that the statute does not authorize interfer­
ence by the Banking Commissioner when the 20 per cent line to each corporation is not
exceeded. The situation is one that might properly be brought to the attention o f the
legislature.

March 16, 1910.

Hon. Henry M. Zimmermann, Commissioner o f the Banking Department, Lansing, Michigan:
Dear Sir— I am in receipt o f your communication o f the 14th ultimo, requesting my opinion
on the following proposition:
“ If in case o f the impairment o f the capital o f one o f our State banks, in lieu o f an
assessment, a promissory note were given by the directors to the bank, pledging their personal
responsibility to its payment, but with the exception that the stockholders will authorize its
retirement from the earnings o f the bank, could the makers o f the note in case o f the earn­
ings o f the bank failing to satisfy it avoid payment on the ground o f no consideration?”
Replying thereto would say that section 6135 o f the Compiled Laws, being section 46
o f the act providing for the incorporation o f banks in this state, in part, reads as follow s:
“ The stockholders o f every bank shall be individually liable, equally and ratably, and not
one for another, for the benefit o f the depositors in said bank to the amount of their stock
at the par value thereof, in addition to the said stock.”
As a general proposition the directors o f
a bank organized under the General Banking
Laws o f the State are not liable where the capital has been impaired except as stockholders
and under the provision above quoted this
liability o f the stockholders is “ equally1 and
ratably, and not one for another.”
For the purpose o f avoiding liquidation under circum­
stances such as you have outlined, the Commissioner o f the Banking Department is clothed
with certain discretionary powers to approve o f such action on the part o f the directors or
stockholders as will make good such impairment and fully protect the depositors and
creditors o f the bank, but such impairment cannot be made good under the law by any
transaction in the nature o f a loan, as such a transaction would increase the liabilities of
the bank to an amount equal to the sum received. In other words, a director or stock­
holder may make good the impairment o f the capital o f a State bank in lieu of an assess­
ment or for the purpose o f avoiding liquidation, but there can be no contingent liability
therefor on the part o f the bank. No action should be approved by the Commissioner o f the
Banking Department which would leave uncertain the capital o f a bank in this particular.
It is my opinion that the course suggested
in your communication is not
in harmony with
the spirit and intent o f the General Banking
Law o f this State, and particularly those pro­
visions designed for the protection o f depositors and creditors thereof.
Very respectfully yours,

REAL ESTATE MORTGAGES NOT TO BE DEPOSITED W IT H COLLATERAL DEPOSIT COMPANIES.

(14)

October 1 2 , 1910.

Hon. Henry M. Zimmermann, Commissioner o f Banking, Capitol, Lansing:
Dear Sir— W e have given careful consideration to your letter o f September 22d, in which
you submit the inquiry as to whether real estate mortgages may be deposited with collateral
deposit companies organized under the provisions o f Act 240, Public Acts o f 1907, and partici­
pation notes therein thereby becoming lawful investments for savings banks. A conference with
the representatives o f the institutions affected by the question above stated has developed
additional questions, namely: If collateral deposit companies may not be the depositories for
such mortgages, may domestic trust company be such depository; also may a foreign trust
company or a domestic corporation, partnership or individual not subject to supervision of
the Banking Department be such depository?
The statutory provisions involved in the questions above submitted are section 9 o f Act
240, Public Acts o f 1907, which reads as follow s:
“ Any corporation organized under this act shall have power to conduct a safety deposit
business for the safe keeping o f any personal property, and provide proper vaults and premises
for the same; and shall also have power to receive or deposit, in trust, any personal property
deposited with it by individuals, partnerships or corporations as collateral security for the
payment o f bonds, or other obligations issued by such individuals, partnerships or corpora­
tions, and to enter into and execute any instruments in writing necessary and proper to
carry such trusts into effect.”
Also subdivision 1 o f Section 27 o f the Banking Law which authorizes State banks to loan
and invest savings deposits as follow s:

construction that a proviso does not enlarge the scope o f the enacting section.
Sutherland’s Statutory Construction, Sec. 352.

It is also apparent that “ notes or bonds secured by mortgage lien, etc,,” are not included
among the securities which are authorized to be deposited in a collateral deposit company
under the terms o f said Subdivision I o f Section 27 above quoted unless it can be said that
such “ notes or bonds secured by mortgage lien,” are also included in “ notes, bills or other
evidences o f debt the payment o f which is secured by deposit with the bank ot collateral
security consisting o f personal property or securities o f known marketable value, etc.
We
are o f the opinion that they are not so included. It is our view that the second clause ot
Subdivision 1, being that last above quoted, refers to notes, bills or evidences o f debt which
are secured by the deposit o f personal chattels
or securities such as promissory notes, bonds
or other evidences o f debt the title o f which passes by the mere act of delivery. This would,
o f course, exclude real estate mortgages. W e therefore hold that real estate mortgages
may not be deposited with collateral deposit companies organized under the provisions o f
Act 240, Public Acts o f 1907, and participations therein sold to savings banks as investments.
The first clause o f subdivision 1 o f Section 27 o f the Banking Law authorizes banks to
loan savings deposits “ upon notes or bonds secured by mortgage lien upon unincumbered
real estate worth at least double the amount loaned.”
There is nothing in the Banking
Law directly requiring real estate mortgages to be taken in the name o f the bank when
such loans are made. W e are constrained, however, to hold that the law contemplates that
the bank shall hold the title to such securities. It is essential that the Banking Depart­
ment in making an examination o f the affairs
o f the bank have an opportunity to examine
the mortgages upon which such notes or bondsare predicated in order that the department
may know the nature o f the instrument, the description o f the property and such other
facts as will enable it to determine whether the loan is proper under the provisions of the
statute.
.
Where, however, such real estate mortgage is placed in a trust company organized under
the Michigan laws and over which the Banking Commissioner has adequate supervision, we
think the Commissioner would be acting within the spirit o f the law if he permitted the
mortgage to be taken in the name o f such trust company and deposited with it allowing
the banks to loan upon participating notes in such mortgages. W e do not, however, believe
that a bank would be authorized to invest in participating notes secured by a mortgage held
by a foreign trust company or by a domestic corporation other than a trust company, a
partnership or individual for the reason that the Banking Commissioner would have no
authority under the law to examine the mortgage in such cases and thus determine the
propriety of the loan.
.
W e are further o f the opinion that Section 9 o f Act 240, Public Acts o f 1907, does not
authorize a collateral deposit company to be the owner or trustee o f a real estate mortgage,
but limits its authority to that o f acting as trustee o f personal propery and collateral such
as would pass by manual delivery.

PRIVATE BANKS

NOT DEPOSITORIES FOR PUBLIC FUNDS.

December 7, 1910.

(15)
Hon. Henry M. Zimmermann, Commissioner o f Banking, Capitol, Lansing:

Dear Sir— In response to your request fo r an opinion upon the question o f whether or
not private banks, so-called, may be designated as depositories o f county funds,_ under the
provisions o f Act No. 99, Public Acts o f 1909, I desire to say that the act in this title and
provisions refers to the designation o f “ a bank or banks” as depositories without specifying
whether private or incorporated banks were intended.
I am o f the opinion that the statute should not be construed to include private banks.
Generally when reference is made to a bank this means an incorporated bank and not a
privarte bank. For example, when a note is made payable at any bank in a city, this is
held to mean an institution incorporated for banking purposes and does not include a private
bank.
Way v. Butterworth, 106 Mass. 75;
Way v. Butterworth, 108 Mass. 509.
The legislature has passed a law providing for the incorporation and organization of
banks and making them subject to the State supervision. Under that law, as under_ the
federal law providing for the organization of national banks, the stockholders are liable
in double the amount of the stock held by them. It seems to me that when reference is made
in the statute to a bank, it means an incorporated bank organized under the State or national
banking laws. A private banker, so-called, conducts his business under Chapter 133 of the
Compiled Laws of 1897, the same being an act relative to brokers and exchange dealers.

The law prohibits the private banker from advertising or putting up any sign tending to
convey the impression that the place of business is an organized bank. If he advertises, he
must use his individual name and may add thereto “bank,” “banking office” or “exchange
UIIHJC.

I do not think the place o f business o f one conducting a private bank is a bank within
the meaning o f the Act 99, Public Acts o f 1909.
A somewhat similar question was before the court in the case of the City o f DuQuoin v.
Kelly, 176, 111. 218. An ordinance was passed by the city requiring the treasurer to keep
the city funds in a regularly organized bank. It was held that the ordinance contemplated
a bank organized under the State or national banking law and not a private bank owned by
an individual. The court sa id :
“ W e are o f the opinion that the term ‘regularly organized bank’ in the City and Village
act means a bank organized under either the State law or the act of Congress, and that it
was not intended by the legislature that a city officer who has given bond for the safe­
keeping o f the funds in his hands should be required to deposit them in a private bank.
There would seem to be no more reason for that than there would be for turning the funds
over to a private individual. It is true, provision is made that such banker or bankers shall
give bond; but we do not think this alters the case.”
I believe as was said by the court in this case, that there is no more authority for
depositing the public funds in a private bank than there is for loaning them out to an
individual, and the fact that security is required to be given makes no difference.
J am o f the opinion, therefore, that the Board of Supervisors cannot lawfully designate
a private bank as a depository o f county funds, under the provisions of Act 99, Public Acts
or 1909.

BANK STOCK MAY BE CANCELLED AND NE W CERTIFICATES ISSUED.

March 10, 1911.

(16)

Hon. Edward H. Doyle, Commissioner o f the Banking Department, Capitol, Lansing, Michigan:
Dear Sir— In your letter o f February 25th, you state that the ............................................. Bank o f
......................Michigan, recently sought to enforce its rights, under Section 6090 of the Com­
piled Laws of 1897, by a sale o f shares of its own bank stock, which is at the present time
held by Chicago parties as collateral to a loan made by them. This sale was made by the
sheriff, by order o f the court, and stock bid in by the............................. Bank. The Chicago parties
refused to surrender the stock in question, and you inquire by what authority, under the
statute can the officers o f the bank cancel the old outstanding issue and a new issue o f stock
be made, which, when sold, will reimburse the bank for the amount which they have already
applied on the stockholders’ obligation, as noted above.
Since receiving this communication we have received a copy of the proceedings under
which the sheriff’s
sale, above referred to, was made. It appears that the sale was not
made pursuant to
the authority conferred by the General Banking Law, Section 6090, to
which you refer in your letter, but was made pursuant to an agreement confessing judg­
ment, which seems
to be in compliance with Section 10299 o f the Compiled Laws o f 1897,
The sale o f stock was then made pursuant to authority conferred by Sections 10335 to 10338
o f the Compiled Laws o f 1897. Section 10338 provides:
“ And the purchaser (at such execution sale) shall thereupon be entitled to a certificate
or certificates o f the shares bought by him, upon paying the fees therefor, and for recording
the transfer.”
It is clear from the above statutory provision that the bank has authority to issue to
itself new certificates to take the place of those sold upon the execution and pursuant to the
authority conferred upon it by the General Banking Law would have authority to sell these
shares so issued within the statutory period.

OR POSSESS BANK STOCK ONLY ON CERTAIN CONDITIONS.

May 24, 1911.

Hon. Edward H. Doyle, Commissioner o f the Banking Department, Capitol, Lansing:
Dear Sir— Y ou state in your letter o f April 20th that the banking department has ruled
that the several sections o f the banking law relating to stockholders require the individual
ownership o f capital stock o f state banks; that in recent reports to the department it appears
that in numerous instances capital stock o f state banks is owned by firms, copartnerships,
corporations and two or more individuals jointly. You inquire whether such a holding is
legal.
In reply thereto will say that it is our view that two or more individuals have the
authority to hold bank stock jointly, also that copartnerships have the same right.
The question o f the right o f a corporation to take and hold stock in a bank is dependent
upon the statute providing for the organization o f such corporation and the manner in which
the stock is acquired. The rule is thus stated in Clark and Marshall on Corporations, page
523:
“A corporation lias no power to subscribe for or purchase shares of stock in another cor­
poration unless such power is e x p r e s s l y g r a n t e d or unless the nature of the corporation and
circumstances under which the stock is acquired are such as to render the transaction a
necessary or reasonable means of carrying out the object for which it was created or of
accomplishing some purpose which is authorized by its charter.”

May 24, 1911.

Hon. Edward H. Doyle, Commissioner o f the Banking Department, Capitol, Lansing, Michigan.
Dear Sir— We are in receipt of your letter of May 20th, in which you state as follows.
A state bank recently purchased the assets o f another state bank, among wmen were
certain bonds coming within the provisions o f subdivision (e), (f) and <g), o f Section
of the Banking Law, which had not been approved by the Securities Commission
these
assets had been permitted to be held by the selling bank by reason of the fact that they
were investments prior to the taking effect o f the amendments to Section 27 made by Act
262 o f the Public Acts o f 1905. The purchasing bank contends that because the department
permitted them to be held by the selling bank, it should also authorize the purchasing bank
to hold the same until maturity. Y ou submit the inquiry as to whether the purchasing bank
should be allowed to carry such securities as legal savings investments.
In reply thereto would say that it is our opinion that the purchasing bank should be
held to the plain requirements o f Section 27, and that the fact that the securities mentioned
were purchased from another savings bank would not justify you in permitting the ban
purchasing same to carry them as legal savings investments. In this connection it may be
proper to say that Section 27 requires fifteen per cent, of the deposits to be kept on hand
as a reserve, in cash or reserve banks, three-fifths o f the remainder of the_ deposits are
required to be invested in securities mentioned in subdivisions (a) to (i) inclusive ot Section
27. You will note that subdivision (i) provides that:
“A portion of said remainder not exceeding the capital and additional stockholders
liability may be invested in negotiable paper approved by the board of directors.
This would authorize a savings bank to carry an amount o f negotiable bonds or other
negotiable paper up to the amount named in the above quoted provision, even though such
bonds or other negotiable paper1 had not received the approval of the Securities Commission.

the Commissioner o f the Banking Department, to make good such deficiency, an assessment
upon the capital stock o f such bank for an amount exceeding 100 per cent o f such stock?
After having paid an assessment o f 100 per cent in accordance with the present Banking

B A N K IN G

DEPARTM ENT

Law, in case of an impairment ascertained subsequently by the department, could a further
assessment be levied by the directors, upon requisition of the Commissioner, for the purpose
of making good such deficiency?
Would the payment by stockholders of assessments such as above indicated, lessen their
liability in case of the liquidation or insolvency of the bank?
The statutory provisions involved in these inquiries are Section 46 o f the Banking Law,
which provides as follow s:
“ The stockholders o f every bank shall be individually liable, equably and ratably, and not
one fo r another, fo r the benefit o f the depositors in said bank to the amount o f their stock
at the par value thereof, in addition to the said stock; but persons holding stock as executors,
administrators, guardians, or trustees, and persons holding stock as collateral security, shall
not be personally liable as stockholders, but the assets and funds in their hands constituting
the trust shall be liable to the same extent as the testator, intestate, ward or persons interested
in such trust funds would be, if living or competent to act, and the person pledging such stock
shall be deemed the stockholder and liable under this section. Such liability may be enforced
in a suit at law or in equity, by any such bank in process of liquidation, or by any receiver, or
other officer succeeding to the legal rights o f said bank.”
Also Section 42 o f Act 1 o f the Public Acts o f 1911, which provides, in part, as follow s:
“ Whenever it shall appear from the report o f any bank, or the Commissioner shall have
reason to believe
that the capital o f any bank is impaired or reduced below the amount
required by law,
it shall be the duty o f the Commissioner and he shall have the power to
examine the said
bank and ascertain the facts, and in case he finds such impairment or
reduction o f capital, he shall require such bank to make good the deficiency so appearing
within sixty days after the date o f such requisition. The directors o f every such bank upon
which such requisition shall have been made shall levy an assessment upon the stock thereof
to repair such deficiency, and shall cause notice o f such requisition to be given to each
stockholder o f the bank and o f the amount o f the assessment which he must pay for the
purpose o f making good such deficiency, by a written or printed notice mailed to such stock­
holder at his last known place o f residence or served personally upon him.”
These two sections are plainly intended to subserve entirely different purposes. Section 46
refers only to cases where the bank is in process of liquidation and limits the amount of the
assessment which may be made upon the stockholders for that purpose to 100 per cent. Seo
tion 42, above quoted, is for the purpose of preventing the bank from going into liquidation
and maintaining it as a going concern. The language used is equivalent to saying to the stock­
holders, “The capital of your bank is impaired, you must make it good or it will be obliged to
go into liquidation at the hands of a receiver.”
It is our view that the two sections have no relation to each other and that under Section
42 o f Act 1 o f the Public Acts o f 1911, the Commissioner has a right to order the bank to
make good an impairment o f any amount, whether less than or in excess o f 100 per cent. I
am also o f the opinion that in case an assessment had been levied pursuant to Section 42 to
make good an impairment, a further assessment or assessments could be made to meet future
contingencies. I am further o f the opinion that payment by stockholders o f assessments under
Section 42 would in no way lessen their liability to an assessment by the receiver in case o f
the liquidation or insolvency o f the bank.

Hon. Edward H. Doyle, Commissioner of Banking Department, Lansnig, Michigan:
Dear Sir— W e have had under consideration your letter o f October 13th, in which you

“ Can a corporation organized under Act No. 108 o f the Public Acts o f 1889, as amended,
acting as trustee under an issue o f bonds covering property located in part in Michigan, and
m part in one or more other States, deposit its bonds or mortgages with a state department
or official, in either one or all o f the states in which the property is located in order therein
to legally qualify and act as such trustee? W ould the depositing o f such assets be considered
as giving preference to one creditor over another, as mentioned in Section 34 o f said act?”
You have also submitted a letter o f Louis H. Withey embodying his views relative to the
question involved. Under date o f October 17th a letter from Messrs. Butterfield & Kenney,

The statute o f Illinois_ regarding this deposit is Sections 129 to 147 o f the Revised Statutes
o f Illinois fo r 1909. It is clear under the decision o f the United States Supreme Court in
Blake v. McClung, 172 U. S. 239, that the deposit o f securities made with the State Auditor
o f Illinois could not be used fo r the purpose o f giving preference to creditors o f a trust
company residing in Illinois. On _ the other hand, a Michigan trust company could not be
admitted to a trust company business in Illinois even to the extent o f enforcing an active
trust partially in Illinois and partially in Michigan without making this deposit.
Farmers’ Loan Company v. Elevated Ry. Company, 173 111. 439.

LAND CONTRACTS NOT EVIDENCES OF INDEBTEDNESS AS CONTEMPLATED BY BANKING LAW.

(22)

December 7, 1911.

Hon. Edward H. Doyle, Commissioner o f the Banking Department, Lansing, Michigan:
Dear Sir— I am in receipt o f your communication of November 23rd in which you ask
whether or not land contracts evidencing the sale o f real estate are legal investments for
savings banks under subdivision (i) o f Section 27 o f the General Banking Law, which reads
as follow s:
“ The remainder o f such deposits may be invested in notes, bills or other evidences ot
debt, the payment o f which is secured by the deposit with the bank o f collateral security
consisting o f personal property or securities o f known marketable value, worth ten per cent
more than the amount so loaned and interest fo r the time o f the loan.”
It appears from your statement that certain savings banks in the state invest savings
deposits in these contracts, taking an assignment thereof from the vendor who also transfers
to the bank the legal title to the real estate contracted to be conveyed. In some instances the
legal title to the property is transferred and the assignment made as collateral security tor a.
loan to the vendor and I do not understand that your inquiry relates to the legality o f this
practice, it being conceded that this may lawfully be done, but that your inquiry relates to
the right o f a savings
bank to so invest itssavings deposits in these contracts whenno
loan is made to the vendor. The savings banks claim that these contracts are “ evidences of
debt” within the meaning o f the subdivision quoted and that the investment o f savings
deposits therein in the manner outlined is permissible and legal.
For reply thereto would say that when a contract o f this character for the sale o f real
estate is made, the vendor holds the legal title only as trustee fo r the vendee and equitable
title vests in the vendee. The vendor retains the legal title as security for the proper per­
formance o f the contract on the part o f the vendee.
Hooper v. Van Husan, 105 Mich. 592;
City o f Marquette v. Iron & Land Company, 132 Mich. 130, 132.
In the case last cited the court held that there was no legal distinction between these
obligations and credits secured by mortgages.
_
,
While these contracts may under our decisions be “ evidences o f debt,” I do not believe that
they are such within the meaning o f the statute under consideration. By the terms o f that
statute it is only evidences o f debt “ the payment o f which is secured by the deposit with
the bank o f collateral security consisting o f personal property or securities o f known market­
able value, worth ten per cent more than the amount so loaned and interest for the time
o f the loan,” in which savings deposits may lawfully be invested.
This statute, as I read it, treats o f “ loans” by the bank upon bills, notes and other
evidences o f debt, secured by the deposit with the bank o f collateral. As I understand it,
the bank in dealing in these contracts makes no loan to the holder o f the legal title to the
land, but the land contract and the security o f the legal title are purchased outright by the
bank. The transaction is one o f dealing in credits secured by the legal title to the real
property. I do not believe that transactions o f this nature are within the contemplation of
the statute and consequently am o f opinion that savings banks may not lawfully invest their
savings deposits in these contracts.

Hon. E H Doyle, Banking Commissioner, Lansing, M ich.:
Dear Sir-—We have yours o f the 7th instant enclosing map of Greenland Township, showing
the town sites in Greenland and Mass Villages.
You ask whether your department will have the right or authority to permit the Miners
and Merchants State Bank o f Greenland to establish an agency in Mass.
I gather from your communication that the Miners & Merchants State Bank o f Greenland
was recently incorporated under authority o f your department, and that Greenland is an
unincorporated village. I also infer that Mass or Mass City is also an unincorporated village.
I note what you say relative to one o f the officers o f the bank claiming that to all intents
and purposes Mass City and Greenland is one village and that there are no defined boundaries
o f the unincorporated village o f Greenland. Nevertheless the plat submitted shows two settle­
ments, and I presume a similar plat is in accordance with the laws of this State, on file with
the Register o f Deeds o f the county, and while the limits of Greenland Township may not be
defined, still, it could hardly be claimed that Greenland Village would or could include the
settlement known as Mass.
The aritcles o f incorporation o f the Miners & Merchants State Bank undoubtedly confers
upon the bank the authority to do business within the unincorporated village of Greenland,
and I am inclined to the opinion that said bank could not legally establish a branch agency
outside o f the unincorporated village o f Greenland and that the settlement known as Mass or
Mass City would be outside o f the boundary lines o f the unincorporated village o f Greenland,
consequently an agency could not be established in Mass.
I am returning herewith map o f Greenland Township.

are to own and operate a bank and to transact a general banking business.
Act No. 191 of the Public Acts of 1877 (Chapter 160, Section 6079 et seq. Compiled Laws
of 1897), is entitled:
“ An act authorizing the formation of partnership association in which the capital sub­
scribed shall alone be responsible for the debts of the association, except under certain circum­
stances.”
Section 1 o f this Act provides that these associations may be formed “ for the purpose of
conducting any lawful business or occupation within the United States or elsewhere.”
The
members o f such associations are liable only to the extent o f their subscription and for labor
debts. The legislature has expressly recognized associations organized under this Act as cor­
porations, as is shown by Section 36 o f Act 232 o f the Public Acts of 1903, the general co r­
poration law, which excepts from its operation “ the corporations provided for in the follow­
ing statutes: Chapters 160 to 164 both inclusive * * *” Chapter 160 being Act 191 o f the
Public Acts o f 1877, the partnership association limited law.
And the Supreme Court o f this State has held that partnership associations limited, organ­
ized under Act 191, are to be governed by the general rules governing corporations.
Rouse Hazzard & Co. v. Detroit Cycle Co., I l l Mich. 251,
Staver, etc. Mfg. Co. v. Blake, 111 Mich. 283.
Act 191 provides that partnership associations limited may be formed for the purpose o f
conducting any lawful business or occupation. As these partnership associations limited are
governed by the rules relating to corporations it follows that under this general blanket
clause a partnership association limited cannot be organized to transact a business around
which the legislature has thrown special restrictions and for which it has provided special
incorporation laws. It has been held that where a statute authorizes incorporation for any
lawful purpose, and another statute provides fo r the incorporation o f certain kinds o f cor­
porations—such as railway, telegraph or telephone companies— no company can be incor­
porated under the more general statute for the purposes which are covered by the other

statute. The legislature is taken to have intended that, notwithstanding the general lan­
guage o f the one statute, no corporation should be formed for the purposes mentioned in
the other without subjecting itself to the provisions o f the other and more restrictive
statute.
Machem’s Modern Law o f Corporation, Vol. 1 , Sec. 63.
The legislature o f this state has provided by the General Banking Laws for the incor­
poration o f companies proposing to do a banking business, has fixed the liability o f stock­
holders in such corporations in excess o f the capital stock, and has placed special restric­
tions around such corporations. The passage o f these General Banking Laws, providing for
the organization o f corporations under conditions quite inconsistent with those prescribed
by the partnership association limited law, seems to be a strong legislative declaration that
banking companies cannot be organized to acquire a corporate existence under acts such as
the latter, and shows a clear legislative intent to separate banking corporations from other
corporations, or from partnership associations limited which might lawfully be organized and
promoted under such broad and general language as is contained in the partnership associa­
tion limited law. The General Banking Laws have placed upon banking corporations special
restrictions and limitations not applicable to other corporations or to partnership associa­
tions limited, and have imposed upon stockholders o f such corporation a special and increased
liability. These special restrictions and limitations cannot be evaded by the simple device o f
incorporation under the partnership limited law or other general incorporation laws.
In my judgment the legislature has clearly expressed its intention that no corporation or
partnership association limited shall acquire or exercise the right to do a banking business
without subjecting itself to the statutory provisions o f the General Banking Laws by incor­
porating under such laws, and it is therefore, my opinion that an association or partnership
limited cannot be organized under Chapter 160 o f the Compiled Laws of 1897, for the purpose
o f owning and operating a bank or conducting a general banking business.
Your communication calls attention to a previous ruling o f this department to the effect
that “ There is no legal objection to a partnership association limited, formed under and
pursuant to Chapter 160 o f the Compiled Laws o f 1897, doing a private banking business,
but that such business would have to be conducted pursuant to and in accordance with the
requirements o f Chapter 133 o f the Compiled Laws o f 1897.” The opinion herein given is
contrary to and reverses this ruling.
I have carefully examined Chapters 160 and 133 to determine their possible relation to
each other.
Chapter 160, the partnership association limited act, appears to attach no
liability to members o f such associations other than for labor debts and to the extent of their
stock subscriptions, while Chapter 133, which is an act relating to the business o f bankers,
brokers, and exchange dealers, creates no restriction or limitations upon the common law
liability o f members o f a partnership carrying on a business pursuant to its requirements.
It is true that under Chapter 133 individuals or partnership associations may engage in
a private banking business, but it by no means follows that partnership associations organized
under Chapter 160, the partnership association limited law, may therefore also engage in the
same business. The liability incurred by members o f a partnership acting under the former
law is clearly inconsistent and irreconcilable with that imposed upon and incurred by mem­
bers or stockholders o f a partnership incorporated and acting under the latter law, and it
would therefore be impossible for a partnership association limited, organized under Chapter
160 to come under the provisions o f Chapter 133 and to conduct a private banking business
under that act.
Yours very truly,

EXECUTOR NOT TO SUBSCRIBE FOR STOCK IN

CAPACITY.

June 6, 1912.

Hon. E. H. Doyle, Commissioner o f the Banking Department, Lansing, Michigan:
Dear Sir— I am in receipt o f your communication o f May 2 1 st, in which you ask whether
or not the Department should accept articles o f incorporation for a state bank which dis­
closes that one o f the proposed incorporators is an executor o f an estate and subscribes for
shares in his representative capacity as executor.
For reply thereto would say that section 1 o f the General Banking Law authorizes the
organization o f commercial banks by any number o f persons not less than five who may
associate together for that purpose.
The persons so associating are required to execute
articles o f incorporation which are approved by the Commissioner o f the Banking Depart­
ment. The act is silent upon the subject o f who may become the original incorporators. By
other provisions o f the act each stockholder is liable for the benefit o f the depositors to the
amount o f his stock at the par value thereof in addition to the stock, but it is expressly
provided that persons holding stock as executors, administrators, guardians or trustees, and
persons holding stock as collateral security, shall not be personally liable as stockholders but
the assets and funds in their hands constituting the trust shall be liable to the same extent
as the testator, intestate, ward or person interested in such trust funds would be if living
and competent to act.
This provision, while recognizing that stock in state banks may come into the hands
o f executors, administrators, guardians or trustees, does not in my judgment, authorize an
executor or administrator to take part in the organization of a state bank and subscribe fo r
stock therein as one o f the original incorporators. It seems to me that in principle an
executor or administrator would not have authority to bind the estate in this manner and
I am o f opinion consequently that under the provisions o f the General Banking Law you
should not accept articles o f incorporation fo r a state bank which discloses that one o f the

TRUST COMPANIES MAY RECEIVE DEPOSITS AND ISSUE CERTIFICATES THEREFOR.

( 27)

December 31, 1912.

Hon. Edward H. Doyle, Commissioner o f Banking, Capitol, Lansing:
Dear Sir— In your communication to this department o f November 26th, 1912, you present
for consideration the following questions:
“ Refering to Act No. 108 o f the Public Acts o f 1889, as amended, known as the Trust,
Deposit and Security Company Law, we would appreciate your opinion as to whether or not
a trust company has the right to issue certificates o f deposit and whether or not such certifi­
cates o f deposit must be restricted as evidencing the receipt o f money in trust.
Also advise whether or not a trust company ca/i issue its certificates of deposit for money
received in any other manner than in trust.”
The specific inquiry is, whether a trust company in Michigan can receive moneys other­
wise than in trust and issue certificates o f deposit as evidence thereof.
All authority which a trust company possesses must be conferred upon it by law. As in
the case o f any other corporation, the act o f incorporation which constitutes the charter
is the measure o f its powers. Unless that charter (with other statutes o f the State, which
may properly be termed a part o f the charter) confers the authority, the trust company does,
not possess it.
The law for the incorporation o f trust companies in Michigan is Act 108 o f the Public
Acts o f 1889, being sections 6156 to 6189 (C. L. 1897) inclusive. Under the terms o f this act,
a trust company possesses the specific authority:
(a) To act in various capacities as a trustee.
(b) To act as and to conduct a depository for the safe keeping of certain personal property
and the renting o f safety deposit receptacles, and
(c) To act as surety and guarantor under certain circumstances.
In addition to these specific authorities, Section 9 o f said act confers upon the trust com­
panies organized thereunder the following authority:
“ Any corporation organized under this act shall have power in and by its corporate name
to take, receive, and hold, and repay, reconvey and dispose o f any effects and property, both
real and personal, which may be granted, committed, transferred or conveyed to it with its
consent, upon any terms.”
The language last above quoted, is sufficient to confer upon trust companies the authority
to receive money on deposit and as incident to that authority there would exist the right to
issue notes, certificates or other evidences o f the indebtedness or relation thereby created.
This general language, however, is limited by the exception contained later in the same
section (Section 9) which is:
“ But nothing herein contained shall be construed as giving the right to issue bills to
circulate as money, or buy or sell bank exchange, or do a general banking business.”
It may be taken for granted that the issuance o f certificates of deposit is not the issuing
o f bills to circulate as money or buying or selling o f exchange the question therefore resolves
itself into whether the issuing o f such certificates is doing a general banking business as to
be within the limitation upon the powers
o f trust companies and thus beyond their authority.
The general structure o f the act in
question indicates that the authority o f trust com­
panies in receiving effects and property is not to be limited to the receipt o f those which
it receives and holds as trustee. It is unnecessary to point out all o f the provisions of the
act, which lead to this conclusion: It is sufficient to refer to the general provisions above
quoted (Section 9) which was unnecessary if the authority of the corporation was to be
limited to the taking and receiving o f effects and property (which would include money)
to be held in trust, as full authority is, by other provisions o f the act, conferred upon the
company to act as trustee. This conclusion is further borne out by the state o f the law
and the changes made there the passages o f said act No. 108 o f the Public Acts o f 1889.
Previous to the passage o f that act, the act for the incorporation o f trust companies being
sections 3237 and 3251 (Howell’s Statutes) inclusive, conferred quite full authority upon
trust companies to act as trustees fo r any lawful purpose and the extension o f their authority,
by the use o f language designed to include other than powers o f trusteeship, indicates a
purpose to so enlarge the powers permitted to be exercised by trust companies as to go beyond
the usual functions o f a trustee and to permit them to receive effects and property upon
other terms than as trustee, and in fact, as the statute as amended provides, '“ upon any
terms.”
W e come then to the real question presented for solution, namely whether in the receiving
o f deposits and issuing certificates therefor, a trust company would be doing “ a general banking
business.”
Unquestionably, the receiving o f deposits and the issuing of certificates therefor, is one
o f the many functions ordinarily and usually performed by a bank, but it does not appear
that such function has been exercised alone by banks, or that it is such as to be inseparable
from the banking business, or that its exercise would fix the dividing line between being
a bank or not, or between exercising or not exercising “ general banking business.”
In the inception and growth o f the banking business there have been three types o f banks
—banks o f issue, banks o f deposits and banks o f discount. The modern banking institution,
however, usually combines two or more o f these authorities and has many ramifications in
the plan and method o f carrying out its function. The general banking authority as is
exercised in Michigan, by State banks at least, will be best described in the language o f the
General Banking Law (Section 4, 6093, C. L. 1897) which authorizes:
“ All such powers as shall be necessary to carry on the business o f banking by discounting
and negotiating promissory notes, drafts, bills o f exchange or other evidences o f debt, by

OP

THE

xliii

receiving deposits, by buying and selling exchange, coin and bullion, and by loaning money
on personal and real security as provided hereinafter.”
If a trust company sought to exercise all or a principal part o f the authorities above
conferred upon banks, or even a single one o f the important functions usually exercised only
by banks, it would be within the inhibition o f the statute. The exercise, however, o f a single
authority which a bank in the course o f its business exercises but which is open to others
than bankers, namely, the borrowing o f money and issuing in evidence of the debt, would not
constitute the doing o f a general banking business. To do a general banking business, trust
companies must exercise those functions which are primarily banking functions and which
fix the character o f the institution doing them as a bank. A trust company does not receive
money in the same manner and in the same relation that a bank receives it. A trust company
receives the money which a depositor places with it as a trust company and not otherwise.
This is the only power that is given to such company to receive money. It is not incor­
porated as a bank, nor authorized as a bank, to receive money, but as a trust company. And
having received said money as a trust company, the only implied authority that such trust
company would have to repay it would be to repay it as a trust company and not as a bank.
When a deposit is made in a bank, no understanding, no contract, no arrangement, nothing
is necessary to authorize the depositor to draw his check on such bank and such bank is by
operation o f law alone compelled to honor such check. Without this characteristic no insti­
tution is usually a bank; with it, any institution is doing a banking business.
In C o r w in v . T h e XJrbana a n d C h a m p a ig n M u t u a l In s u r a n c e C o m p a n y (14 Ohio 6) the
charter contained a provision prohibiting the exercising of banking powers and it was held
that the receiving o f deposits was not within the prohibition against banking. It did, how­
ever, appear that certificates o f deposit were not issued. The court there said;
“ It does not appear to us this finding is within the prohibition against banking; and, if
not, it is a lawful pursuit, in which a corporation, as well as an individual, may engage;
and it is well said b / the defendant that, although receiving deposits is a part o f the business
o f banks, it is n o e x c l u s i v e p r iv ile g e o f th e ir s , nor is the discounting o f notes.”
In Dietrich v. Rothenberger (75 S. E. [Kentucky] 271) it was held that the borrowing of
money by a title company and the issuance o f a certificate of deposit therefor did not con­
stitute the doing o f a banking business, the Court saying:
“ The distinction between such a transaction and the business of banking is plain, for any
one may borrow money, and may put in such form as he pleases the evidence o f his indebted­
ness. An express company is not a
bank, although it draws and sells bills o f exchange.
Wells Fargo & Co. v. Northern Pacific Railroad Co. (C. C.) 23 Fed. 469. Nor is a corporation
a bank, which borrows for its own use on bonds. Barry v. Merchants’ Exchange Company, 1
Sandf. Ch. 280. In 3 American & English Ency. o f Law, 791, it is said: “ The distinction
between a bank and a trust company is well defined. The powers o f the trust company depend
upon the terms o f its charter, o f course, but they are not banking powers. The trust company,
like the savings bank, pays interest upon deposits, but its deposits are strictly loans, not
subject to check. It may not issue its own notes fo r circulation nor does it buy or sell
exchange in the ordinary course o f its dealings. In directions that are not akin to banking,
its powers are much broader, and extend outside the monetary realm into real estate trans­
actions, trusteeships, and the conduct o f property interests of all kinds. The exercise by a
trust company o f some o f the functions o f a bank does not make the company a banking
institution, nor lay its officers liable to prosecution fo r violating the banking laws. Banks
receive deposits subject to check. They are public agencies created for the public service, and
are required to serve the public. The money in this case was simply lent for 12 months. It
was not subject to check. There was nothing in the transaction that might have been done,
and is not in fact done, by many individuals throughout the State. It was not exercise by
the corporation o f any banking privilege, nor beyond the powers o f the corporation under
its charter.”
See State ex inf. Crow, Attorney General, v. Lincoln Trust Company, 144 Mo. 562, 588.
The practical construction which has been given to the statute in question should be given
some weight. It is claimed that the act in question has been constructed by those operating
under it as permitting the receiving o f moneys for safe keeping, and
the issuance o f cer­
tificates o f deposit therefor, and that this practice has been followed without successful
opposition or objection, from the passage o f the act o f 1889, until the present time. Where
the language o f the act is doubtful, the long continued practice under it is often permitted
to turn the scale in favor o f the construction evidenced by the practice under it, and this,
we think, is an influence, to be considered in determining that trust companies may receive
deposits and issue evidence thereof.
In other states, it has been quite common to Confer upon trust companies the authority
to receive deposits and to issue certificates thereon, and at least twenty-three of the states
have such provisions. There is evidently, therefore, nothing inconsistent in the idea o f trust
companies receiving money on deposit for safe keeping, and the question is not to be viewed
in the same light as though a well defined public policy pointed to the exclusion o f this
power from trust companies.
In B a n k o f S a g in a w v . T itle a n d T r u s t C o m p a n y (105 Fed. 491, 492), a Pennsylvania trust
company issued six certificates o f deposit, which were negotiated at the Bank o f Saginaw,
and the bank brought its action in the United States Circuit Court in Pennsylvania to recover
upon the certificates. The certificates issued by the trust company were in form as follow s:

The question arose respecting the right of the Trust Company to issue certificates and
Circuit Judge Acheson said:
“That the defendant company is authorized to receive deposits of money is conceded, but
it is denied that it had lawful authority to issue such certificates as those in suit. There is,
however, no statutory or other inhibition of such certificates. These certificates are in the
form commonly used everywhere in the commercial world by bankers and companies receiving
money deposits and the defendant’s right to issue them in the course of its business and as an
incident thereto is not to be doubted.”
In Michigan, as well as in many other states, a certificate of deposit is considered to be a
promissory note subject to the same rules and conditions. This we believe to be the law in
all but three of the states, namely Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Texas.
The authority to receive money would carry with it the authority to give an evidence of
its receipt in the form of a note, and this would extend to and permit the issuance of a
certificate of deposit.
There has been some question as to whether a demand certificate could be given, and
whether if the right to issue certificates exists it is not limited to time certificates. We think
however, that the authority to issue a certificate carries with it the authority to issue it
either payable at a stated time, or upon demand.
“It Will be noted that trust companies are not expressly required to maintain a reserve
as it is required to be maintained by state banks in that they are expressly required to main­
tain as reserves only 20% o f their matured obligations, while state banks are required to
maintain 15 to 20% o f all obligations. We doubt somewhat the policy of permitting a trust
company to do a deposit business without maintaining at least the same reserve that is
maintained by state banks. To this question we wish to direct the attention of the legisla­
ture to the necessity o f express legislation requiring the maintaining of sufficient reserves
by trust companies in case the authority which the present law gives them to receive deposits
is to be continued.”
We concur in the above opinion.

VACANCY ON BOARD THROUGH FAILURE OF STOCKHOLDERS TO ELECT CANNOT BE FILLED
BY BOARD.

(28)

Lansing, January 8, 1918.

Hon. Albert E. Manning, Deputy Commissioner of Banking Department, Lansing, Michigan:
Dear Sir— I am in receipt o f your communication of December 30th enclosing copy of letter
received by your department from Mr. William V. Moore, o f Detroit, relative to amending the
articles o f association o f a certain state bank organized in thé year 1871 under what is known as
the old banking law, and asking for an opinion from this department with reference to the same.
Mr. Moore’s letter states that in the original articles filed by the Wayne County Savings
Bank in 1871, the first directors were named and their number was fixed by Article 7; that
subsequently by amended articles filed February 12, 1885, the number o f directors was fixed at 9;
and later, after certificates had been filed under the new banking law bringing the bank within
its provisions, the number of directors was fixed at 1 1 by a resolution of the stockholders adopted
January 11, 1900. It is now proposed to amend the articles of association by providing that the
board o f directors shall be elected at the regular annual meeting in January of each year, that
the number o f directors to be elected shall be regulated by a by-law prescribed by the board of
directors, and that such by-law may provide for the filling of any vacancy on said board arising
through a failure to elect at the regular annual meeting, or through the death, resignation o f
incapacity o f any director duly elected. You wish to know whether or not such an amendment
will be legal.
Section 4 of the old banking law (Section 2185 of the Laws of 1871), under which the Wayne
County Savings Bank was organized, provides for a board of directors of not more than nine
members. The present banking law under which that bank is now operating by virtue of having
filed the certificate required byi section 60 thereof (Section 6149, Compiled Laws of 1897) does not
limit the number of directors. Section 4 of the law (Section 6093, Compiled Laws of 1897) pro­
vides in part that a bank upon filing its articles shall be a body corporate, and as such shall
have power:
“ Fifth. To elect or appoint directors * * *”
“ Sixth. To prescribe by its board of directors, by-laws not inconsistent with law, regulating
the manner in which its stock shall be transferred, its directors and officers elected or appointed,
its stockholders convened for special meetings, its property transferred, its general business
conducted and the privileges granted to it by law exercised and enjoyed.”
Section 12 o f the present law (Section 6101, Compiled Laws of 1897 as amended) provides in
part that “ the affairs o f each bank shall be managed by a board o f not less than five directors
who shall be elected by the stockholders.”
As the certificate filed by the Wayne County Savings Bank under section 60 (since repealed)
o f the present banking law brought it within its provisions, it isi now governed by the provisions
above set forth with reference to the number and manner o f election of its directors. Under
these provisions there are no limitations as to the number o f directors, except that there cannot
be less than five. The directors must, however, be elected at the annual meeting o f the stock­
holders in January, and if “ for any cause an election is not had at that meeting it may be
had at a subsequent meeting called for that purpose.” Vacancies in the board o f directors
shall be filled by the board, but I am o f the opinion that this does not mean such vacancies
as are created by failure o f the stockholders to elect at an annual meeting.
The proposed amendment to the original articles of the Wayne County Savings Bank, above
referred to, provides for the election of a board of directors at the regular annual meeting in
January, provides that the number of directors to be elected shall be regulated by a by-law
prescribed by the board of directors, and provides further that said by-law may provide for
the filling of any vacancy on the Board arising through a failure to elect at the regular annual

x lv

meeting’, or through the death, resignation or incapacity o f any director duly elected. None of
these provisions, except the one relating to the filling o f a vacancy on the board caused by failure
to elect at an annual meeting, is inconsistent with the provisions of the present banking law,
and it would therefore be entirely proper and legal to incorporate them into the original
articles by the proposed amendment. I am o f the opinion, however, that the provision relative
to the filling o f a vacancy o n ' the board caused by failure to elect at the annual meeting is
inconsistent with the terms o f section 21 o f the present banking law above set forth, and such
provisions would therefore be illegal. As hereinbefore stated, a vacancy caused by the failure
to elect at an annual meeting is not such a vacancy as can be filled by the board of directors
itself.
It may be suggested, that the provisions which can be incorporated into the articles o f
association o f the Wayne County Savings Bank by amendment, and which are not already
a part o f its charter because contained in the banking law, can be made just as legal and
efficacious by a by-law adopted by the board o f directors under subdivision 6 o f section 4 of
the banking law, which gives the board o f directors power to make by-laws not inconsistent with
law regulating the manner o f election or appointment o f its directors and officers.

RESTRICTIONS.

March 15, 1913.

Dear Sir— I have yours o f the 12th inst. in which you state:
"W e have had several inquiries o f late from state banks asking whether or not a state
bank could keep open on all holidays for the transaction of a general business except such
business which relates to the presentation for payment or acceptance or protesting o f promissory
notes and other obligations.
W e have always taken the position that there was nothing in the law to prohibit a bank
from keeping open on any o f the holidays mentioned in Act 124 o f the Public Acts o f 1865 as
amended and transacting business except that relating to presentation, acceptance or protesting
of notes, etc.”
In reply thereto would state that the language o f the Act in question is somewhat confusing.
The title o f the Act being as follow s: “ An Act designating the holidays to be observed in
the acceptance and payment o f bills o f exchange and promissory notes, in holding o f courts
and relative to the continuance o f suits.” While Section, 1 as amended by Act 246 o f the Public
Acts o f 1909, provides, in part, as follow s: “ Provided, further, That nothing herein contained
shall be construed to prevent or invalidate the entry, issuance, service or execution o f any
writ, summons or confession o f judgment or other legal process whatever, holding courts or
the transaction o f any lawful business except banking on any of the Saturday afternoons herein
designated as half holidays, nor to prevent any bank from keeping its doors open or transacting
its business on any o f the said Saturday afternoons, if by a vote o f its directors it elects to
do so.”
From a reading o f the last section it might be implied that there was a legal restriction
against keeping a bank open upon a legal holiday. I do not believe, however, that this was
the legislative intent; but that on the contrary the intent was, as is set forth in the title of
the act itself, namely: the prevention o f the acceptance and payment of bills o f exchange and
promissory notes. Consequently, I am o f the opinion that to keep a bank open for purposes
other than the ones stated would not be a violation o f the law, and that your ruling in the
matter has been right.

BAN K ’ S CONDITION.

March 24, 1913.

Dear Sir I have your communication o f March 17th calling attention to sections 2 1 , 39
and 55 of the General Banking Laws relating to reports to be made by state banks and the
furnishing o f information to the Banking Commissioner. Y ou state:
. “ W,e, y ° uld appreciate your opinion as to whether or not a state bank has the right to
withhold information o f any character from the Commissioner, his deputy, or one o f the bank
examiners, upon being requested to furnish same. To what extent could the Department go in
case of refusal to furnish any information affecting the condition o f the bank?”
In reply thereto would say section 21 o f the general banking law requires every bank to
make certain reports according to the forms which he (Commissioner of Banking) shall pre­
scribe and furnish. This section also provides that “ Such reports shall exhibit in detail, and
under appropriate heads, the resources, assets and liabilities of the bank at the close of busi­
ness o f any past day by him specified,” etc. Also that “ Such Commissioner shall also have
the power to call for special reports from any bank or banks whenever, in his judgment, the
same are necessary to inform him fully o f the condition o f such banks.” Section 39 provides:
“ It shall be the duty of the Commissioner o f the Banking Department, and he shall have
power for himself, his deputy, or any examiner he may appoint for that purpose to examine
two or more times in each year, the hash, bills, collaterals or securities, books o f account,
condition and affairs o f each bank under the law, and also when requested by the board of
directors o f any bank. For that purpose he may examine on oath any o f the officers, agents,
clerks, customers or depositors o f such bank, touching the affairs and business o f such bank.
Any wilful false swearing in any examination shall be deemed perjury. He shall also ascertain
whether each bank transacts its business at the place designated in the articles of incorporation,
and whether its businesses conducted in the manner prescribed by law.”

Section 55 o f the general banking law provides among other things, that if the commissioner
shall become satisfied that a bank “ is conducting its business in an unsafe or unauthorized
maijner, or if any bank shall refuse to submit its book§ and papers and concerns to the
inspection o f the Commissioner, his deputy or any examiner, or if any officer o f such bank shall
refuse to be examined under oath touching the concerns of the bank, or if from any examination
made or report here provided for, the Commissioner shall conclude that such bank is in an
unsound or unsafe condition to trans&ct the banking' business, so that it is unsafe and inexpedient
to continue same,” he shall in the manner therein prescribed make appliication for the appoint­
ment o f a receiver for such bank.
. . . . . .
The foregoing sections are the only provisions o f statute to which my attention has been
called expressly bearing upon your question. The language o f the statute seems clearly to
confer upon the Banking Commissioner the right and authority to demand, receive and
procure any and all such information as he may require or deem necessary in order to fully
understand the condition o f a bank, the character or amount o f its obligations and the affairs
thereof. The Commissioner is expressly charged with the duty o f determining whether or
not a bank is conducting its bank in an unsafe or unauthorized manner. He must also determine whether the bank is in an unsound or unsafe condition to transact the banking business so that it is unsafe and inexpedient to continue the same. He has the right to secure
information upon forms prescribed by him, and he may examine on oath any o f the officers,
agents, clerks, customers or depositors o f the bank touching its affairs and its business. The
Commissioner o f Banking, and not the bank, is the judge o f the information necessary for
him to have to place him in a
position where he can perform hisstatutory duty. It will be
assumed that the Commissioner o f Banking, or his deputy, or any assistant duly authorized,
will not dmand or require any information other than such as it is deemed expedient to have
in order to determine the exact condition o f a bank and its affairs. When information is
demanded, it is the duty o f the bank to furnish it, and the Commissioner’s demands are not
open to question by the bank. It would be indeed an anomalous condition if notwithstanding
all the duties devolving upon the Banking Commissioner, the bank could determine for itself
the character or amount o f information it should disclose.
It is therefore my opinion that the bank has not the legal right to withhold any information
which the Banking Commissioner shall in the exercise o f his discretionary authority determine
is necessary in order to furnish him with the knowledge to perform his duty.
Said section 55 is very clear and explicit in its terms. When any such condition as is
therein referred to exists, it is clearly the duty o f the Banking Commissioner to make appli­
cation for a receiver. The Banking Commissioner has no right to assume that because o f the
failure or refusal o f the bank to furnish the information he desires, the bank is in a safe or
sound condition. The very fact that information which the Banking Commissioner may determine
is necessary is refused by a bank is in itself some reason for suspicion. I f therefore, through
the refusal o f a bank to furnish such information as you may deem necessary you are unable
to determine whether it is proper for the bank to continue in the banking business, it is my
judgment that you would be clearly authorized to proceed in the manner outlined in said section
55 o f the general banking law.

Grant F ellows,

BOARD OF DIRECTORS CANNOT INCREASE OR DECREASE THEIR NUMBER.

(31)

April 3, 1913.

Hon. E. H. Doyle, Banking Commissioner, Capitol, Lansing:
Dear Sir—I have your communication o f March 27tli, in which you state that, “ The Depart­
ment has already held that the board o f directors could not increase or decrease the number
o f stockholders constituting the board, that the only authority delegated to the directors in
this regard was that they could indicate the manner in which the members of the board should
be elected, and in case o f a vacancy occurring on the board between the annual meetings o f
stockholders, the directors have the right to fill such vacancy.” Y ou state, “ We would appre­
ciate your opinion as to whether or not the board o f directors o f a state bank has the right
to increase or decrease the number o f members constituting the board.”
In reply thereto would say it is my opinion that, at least between stockholders’ meetings,
the number o f directors cannot be decreased or increased by the board of directors. Section .
12 o f the banking law provides in part that, “ any vacancy in the board o f directors shall be
filled by the Board, and the director so appointed shall hold office until the next election.”
The above quoted language clearly implies a duty developing upon the board o f directors to
fill any vacancy that may occur. It is not a discretionary duty with the board o f directors. It is
a positive requirement that the vacancy “ shall be filled by the board.” This is a mandatory
provision, and the law clearly contemplates a strict compliance therewith.
V ery respectfully,

DIRECTORS MUST HAVE FULLY PAID FOR TEN SHARES OF STOCK AT ORGANIZATION.

April 3, 1913.

Hon. Edward H. Doyle, Commissioner o f Banking, Capitol, Lansing:
My Dear Sir— I have your communication o f March 22nd in which you inquire whether
as a condition precedent o f the right o f a person to he elected and act as a director o f a
bank he must actually pay in full fo r at least ten shares, or if he subscribes fo r ten shares
o f stock and only pays for fifty per cent if he thereby becomes eligible as a director.
In reply thereto would say section five o f the banking law requires that at least 50 per
cent o f the capital stock o f every bank shall be paid in before it shall be authorized to commence

business. Section 12 of the banking law, which relates to directors, provides in part that:
“ Every director must own and hold in his own name not less than ten shares of the capital
stock of such bank.”
The fact that a bank may be authorized to commence business with only 50 per cent of
the capital stock thereof paid in has absolutely nothing to do with the statutory provision
requiring every director to own and hold in his own name not less than ten shares o f the
capital stock. The language above quoted means exactly what it says: It means that every
director must actually own, that is, that he must have fully paid for at least ten shares of the
capital stock o f the bank and not that he may actually pay for 50 per cent o f the ten shares and
subsequently have the right o f ownership in the balance thereof when he makes payment therefor.

TAXATION OF BANK STOCK.

(33)

April 26, 1913.

Hon. Edward H. Doyle, Commissioner o f Banking, Capitol, Lansing:
Dear Sir— I have before me your communication o f April 18tli, in which you request an
opinion upon the following proposition:
“ First. Has the board o f directors o f an incorporated bank by proper proceedure, the
power to authorize the total stock o f the bank, to be assessed to the bank by the supervisor
where the bank is located, and have the taxes on stock paid by the bank, regardless o f where
the stockholders are located?
Second. Has the village assessor a legal right to assess the total bank stock to the bank
in the village where the bank is located, where a portion is located on one side o f the county
and a portion outside o f the village?”
In reply thereto would say the answer to your inquiries seems to be contained in the
language o f the 3rd subdivision o f section 14 o f the general tax law as found on page 27
o f the pamphlet o f general tax laws, revision o f 1907. This subdivision provides that, “All
shares in banks shall, be assessed to their owners
in
the township, village or city where the bank
is located: Provided, That the shares owned by a person residing in the county where the bank
is located shall be assessed in the township or city where he resides.”
My attention has not been challenged to any provision o f the law that would authorize either
the board o f directors or the village assessor to change the method prescribed in the above
statute. Accordingly, I am inclined to believe that each o f the inquiries which you submitted
should be answered in the negative.
Very respectfully,
(Signed) G r a n t F e l l o w s ,

STATE BANKS CONTEMPLATED IN CITIES OR VILLAGES ONLY.

(34)

May 1 0 , 1913.

.

Hon. Albert E. Manning, Deputy Commissioner o f Banking, Capitol, Lansing:
Dear Sir— I have your communication o f May 1 st in which you state that you are in
receipt o f an application to organize a state bank with its office and place o f business to be
located in “ the township o f Springwells,” County o f W ayne and State o f Michigan, with a
capital o f $25,000.00. You ask:
“ First. Can the Department legally accept the articles o f incorporation with the location
designated, and business to be carried on, as in a township rather than in a city or village?
Second. If so what construction on the law can be placed with reference to the capital
stock requirements?
Third. In other words, would the capital stock be based upon the population o f the town­
ship as a whole (inclusive, o f course, o f incorporated cities and villages), or would the capital
stock be based upon the population o f the settlement, or community, in which the bank actually
transacts business?
In answer to your first inquiry, would say that section 1 o f the General Banking Law seems
to recognize only cities and villages as the place where a banking business may be conducted.
W e have, however, held that a bank may be established in an unincorporated village. (See
Attorney General’s Report for 1905, page 98.)
Section 2 o f the General Banking Act requires the persons associating to execute articles
o f incorporation which shall specify: “ 2nd. The county and city or village where such bank
is to be located and to conduct its business.” It is my opinion that it was clearly the intent
o f the legislature to limit the place where a banking business may be conducted to either a city
or village (including unincorporated villages) and that your department would have no authority
to accept an application which shows upon its face that the place of business is a designated
“ township” rather than a city or village.
In answer to your second and third inquiries, would say if a bank is established in an
incorporated village the amount fo r which it may be capitalized depends upon the population
o f the village. The same rule is applicable in the case o f an unincorporated village. I have
heretofore held that where a state bank is authorized to do business within an unincorporated
village, that it cannot legally establish a branch agency outside o f such unincorporated village
and in another settlement or unincorporated village. (See opinion to Hon. E. H. Doyle, Banking
Commissioner, under date o f February 17, 1913.)
It is therefore my opinion that the capital stock in the case you suggest would be based
upon the population o f the settlement, community or village, incorporated or otherwise, in
which the bank is actually authorized to transact business.
Very respectfully,

PROPER RECORD OF REPORT OF DIRECTORS’

EXAMINATIONS.

June 30, 1913.

(35)
Edward H. Doyle, Commissioner o f Banking, Capitol, Lansing:

Dear Sir— I have your communication o f June 25th, which reads in part as follow s:
“ W e desire to call your attention to Section 15 o f the law. W e have recently been
asked by a state bank whether they would be complying with the provisions o f this section
o f the law if they permitted the report o f directors’ examination to be read at board meeting,
and have the minutes o f such meeting show as follow s: ‘The committee appointed on the
8th day o f October to make the second examination of the year submitted report of such
examination. On motion o f Mr. C report was accepted and order placed on file, and report
made a part o f these records.’ ”
*
. „ ..
In reply thereto would say section 15 o f the Banking Law to which you refer requires the
board o f directors to appoint an examining committee. The section provides that: _
“ The examining committee shall report to the board, give in detail all items included in
the assets o f the bank, which they have reason to believe are not o f the value at which they
appear on the books and records o f the bank, and give the value o f each o f such items as in
their judgment they may have determined. The board shall make a proper record of said
report in the minute books o f the bank, etc.”
. ,
,,
, .
The material requirement is that the report o f the examining committee shall be made to
the board, and that the board shall make a proper record thereof. The statement set forth
in the minutes as indicated by your letter, show that the report was submitted, accepted,
placed on file and made a part o f the record. The statute requires the report to be recorded
in the minute books o f the bank. It is believed, however, that the action in question is a
substantial compliance with the law.

August 21, 1913.

Hon. Edward H. Doyle, Commissioner o f Banking, Capitol:
Dear Sir—I have your communication o f the 20th in which you submit an inquiry under
the Fifth subdivision o f Section 4 o f Act 205 o f the Public Acts o f 1887, as amended. Your
inquiry is as follow s:
“ Where the directors o f a bank accept bonds from officers and employes at a nominal amount
only when compared to the cash and securities in their control, would the Department have
the right to require bonds o f a greater amount which would be more commensurate with the
size o f the bank, and the opportunity for defaulting or manipulating?
Will you also advise whether or not under said amendment the Department has the right
to reject personal bonds o f bank officers and employes where officers and bank directors become
sureties thereon ?,?
The amendment to the Act in question is found in Act No. 1 1 o f the Public Acts o f 1913.
The Fifth subdivision thereof reads as follows:
“ To elect or appoint directors, who shall choose from their members a president and one
or more vice-presidents, and shall have power to appoint and employ a cashier or treasurer,
and other officers, define their duties, dismiss such officers so elected or appointed, or any of
them, at pleasure and elect or appoint others to fill their places, and the board of directors
shall require every officer and every clerk concerned in the handling o f moneys, accounts and
securities o f the bank to be bonded either by a surety company authorized to do business in the
State o f Michigan or by a personal bond in such an amount as shall be determined by the board
o f directors: Provided, That the bank shall pay for any surety bonds required o f its employes.”
It will be observed from the foregoing quotation that it is a mandatory duty devolving
upon the board o f directors to require every officer and clerk concerned in the handling o f
moneys, accounts and securities to give a bond. The law clearly contemplates that the amount
o f the bond shall be fo r a reasonable amount and for an amount reasonably proportionate to
the size o f the bank, the character o f employment and the opportunities afforded for wrong
doing. A board o f directors would not be performing its statutory duty if it approves a bond
fo r an amount which clearly shows the action to be a mere subterfuge. It is probably true
that a board o f directors would be liable for failure to require a bond in a proper and reason­
able amount. I am inclined to believe that the Banking Commissioner has authority to require
a board o f directors to perform its statutory duty in approving and accepting a bond for a
reasonable amount.
Relative to the second portion o f your inquiry, the above quoted language authorizes any
such officer or clerk to be bonded either by a surety company authorized to do business in the
State o f Michigan, or by a personal bond. It needs no argument to support the proposition
that the legislature never intended that the personal bonds referred to in the above quoted
law should have as sureties thereon the officers and directors of the bank.
It is my opinion that the board o f directors would have no authority to accept or approve
any such bond, and that you would be acting well within your rights if you reject personal
bonds o f bank officers and bank employes where the sureties thereon are officers and directors
o f the bank.
Respectfully yours,

STOCK IMPAIRMENT.

October 2, 1913.

Hon. E. H. Doyle, Commissioner o f Banking, Capitol, Lansing:
Dear Sir— I have your communication o f September 1 1 th, which reads as follows:
“ W e respectfully request your opinion as to whether or not, in case o f an impairment of
capital stock, the Department could permit a state bank to accept, in lieu o f cash, stockholders’
notes pro rata to make good the deficiency o f capital stock in said bank on account of bad or
doubtful assets, required by the Department to be eliminated?”
In reply thereto, would say the matter o f making good a deficiency as a result o f the
impairment o f capital stock in a bank seems to be governed by section 42 o f the Banking Law,
being compilers’ section 52 o f the pamphlet o f laws relating to banking, revision of 1911. This
section provides in part that:
“ Whenever it shall appear from the report o f any bank, or the Commissioner shall have
reason to believe that the capital stock o f any bank is impaired or reduced below the amount
required by law, it shall be the duty o f the Commissioner, and he shall have the power to
examine the said bank and ascertain the facts, and in case he finds such impairment or reduction
o f capital, he shall require such bank to make good the deficiency so appearing within sixty
days after the date o f such requisition.”
,
The same section makes it the duty o f the directors o f the bank upon such requisition to
levy the necessary assessment and prescribe the method for the sale of the stock in case the
assessment is not paid.
•
It will be observed from the foregoing quotation that there is a mandatory _ requirement
that the Commissioner o f Banking shall require the bank to make good the deficiency. I am
unable to find any provision which is controlling in the particular manner in which the
deficiency shall be made good. In the absence o f a statutory requirement prescribing whether
the impairment may be remedied either by the! payment o f cash, note or collateral security, it is
somewhat difficult to outline a hard and fast rule, to be generally and universally applicable,
unless the particular bank, the character o f the impairment and the abilitiy o f the stockholders,
thereof to pay, is taken into consideration. The statutory provision which makes it the duty
o f the Commissioner o f Banking to require the bank to make good the deficiency so appearing
vests in him a large discretionary authority. It is his duty to see that the deficiency is made
good. He must be satified, any action or approval o f the board o f directors to the contrary
notwithstanding. Cash or its equivalent should be required. A stockholders’ note would not
necessarily in every instance be a compliance with the law, while in a particular case you
might be warranted in approving a note, with or without collateral security in determining
whether there has been a compliance with the law and your requisition.
It is therefore my opinion that it is fo r the Commissioner of Banking to determine whether
his requisition requiring a bank to make good the deficiency so appearing is obeyed; that there
may be a compliance with the law without the payment o f cash; that cash or its equivalent
should be required and that in determining whether there has been a compliance with the law
a note, or a note accompanied by collateral security may in the discretionary authority o f the
Banking Commissioner be approved in determining whether there has been a compliance with
your requisition.
Very respectfully,

LOANS TO MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS LIMITED

TO TW ENTY PER CENT OF CAPITAL AND

(38)

SURPLUS.

November, 24, 1913.

Hon. E. II. Doyle, Commissioner o f Banking, Capitol, Lansing:
Dear Sir— I have your communication o f November 19th, directing attention to Sections
27 and 52 o f the Banking Law. Y our letter reads, in part, as follow s:
“ The latter provides that a loan to any person, firm or corporation shall not
exceed
twenty per cent o f capital and surplus; and then only upon the two-thirds authorization of
the board o f directors. Under said section we desire to be informed whether or
not a
municipal corporation can borrow on its note, signed by proper officials, an amount in excess
o f twenty per cent o f capital and surplus. It is maintained upon the part o f some banks
that the limitation in said section does not apply to loans to municipal corporations; that
such loans are in the nature o f a public debt, as mentioned in subdivision (b ), section 27 o f
the law, and thereby are subject to such limitations.”
In reply thereto would say it is believed that the banks referred to in your letter are
placing an erroneous construction upon the statute. Section 52 provides in part:
“ The total liabilities to any bank o f any person or o f any company, corporation or firm
for moneys advanced, including the liabilities
of
the company or firm, the liabilitieso f the
several members thereof, except special partners, shall at no time exceed one-tenth part of
the amount o f the capital and surplus o f such bank, etc.”
The same section authorizes a loan of not to-exceed twenty per cent capital and surplus
upon the authorization of two-thirds of the board of directors.
Section 37 refers to entirely different matter. This section prescribes a direction concern­
ing deposits or investments, while Section 52 prescribes a limitation on loans which may be
made.

In the absence

of express authority authorizing a greater loan to a municipal corporation

RENEWALS W IT H

TROPER SIGNATURES TO BE PROCURED.

March 14, 1914.
Hon. E. H. Doyle, Commissioner o f Banking, Capitol, Lansing:
Dear Sir—You have recently forwarded to this Department a letter from Charles D. Thompson
o f Bad Axe, Michigan, asking my opinion upon the inquiry therein made. This letter reads in
part as follow s:
, .
„
..
“ To avoid the objectionable practice o f country banks in extending their power from time
to time because o f the inablity to get all signers to join in new notes, it has been suggested
to me that a note fo r the original loan with the guarantors signing under a guaranty clause
of, ‘for value received, I hereby guarantee the payment of the within note at maturity, or at
any time thereafter, including any renewal o f same, waiving a demand, notice of non-payment
and protest,’ could safely and properly be handled by permitting the maker to execute a new
note and retaining the old note with the endorsement under the above guaranty.
This would give the banker new paper and avoid the question of extension, yet w’ould not
inconvenience his customer.”
Y ou desire to know whether there are any objections to the method outlined in the above
communication.
In reply thereto would say that the principal idea contained in the suggestion seems to be
that such a contract would lessen the work o f the bank in procuring renewals o f unpaid
notes by having the renewals signed only by the parties primarily liable. It is entirely possible
that such a contract would be binding upon the makers were the matter tested in court, but
it occurs to me that it would establish a bad practice for banks. As a matter o f practice I do
not think customers o f banks should be encouraged in the idea that the status o f their paper
is more a matter for the banks to look out for than the borrowers themselves. It is unques­
tionably the duty o f borrowers to see that their paper is renewed as often as necessary.
Regardless o f the exact legal question involved I am impressed that you should not countenance
the suggestion made by Mr. Thompson.
Respectfully yours,
A. B. Dougherty,

Deputy Attorney General.

I return herewith Mr. Thompson’s letter.
PURCHASE PRICE OF LEASES MAY BE CARRIED AS BANKING HOUSE.

(40)

.

Lansing, March 17, 1914.

Hon. E. H. Doyle, Banking Commissioner, Capitol, Lansing:
Dear Sir—Your communication of recent date, relative to long term leases by banks for
banking houses, received and contents noted. In your first communication you state the
following:
“ As you are probably well aware, in the large cities in Michigan state banks are estab­
lishing a number o f branches or agencies, and in some instances procure banking office and
real estate under the long time lease, in some instances for 99 years, carrying purchase price
o f the lease in banking house account.
In view of the fact we are advised that certain banks may erect expensive buildings on
leased grounds with the expectation of carrying same in their banking house account, we
respectfully ask your opinion as to whether or not the Department has the right, under the
law and all the circumstances, to permit banking house and land so held where thefee of the
property is not in the bank.”
The particular question is presented as to whether a certain lease entered into by the
.................. Bank, a copy o f which you have procured and forwarded to me, is valid so far as
the bank is concerned; and also whether buildings erected upon the ground so leased by the
bank should be carried as “ banking house.”
I have examined this lease, which was originally made between the .........................................
Company and the ......................... Company, parties of the first part, and .........................................
party o f the second part. I assume that the lessee’s rights have been assigned to the bank.
Under the terms o f this lease, which runs fo r 99 years, the lessee is required to pay $20,000.00
a year ground rent fo r the first ten years, and $25.000.00 a year thereafter.
The lessee also
agrees to construct on part o f the ground a building o f not less value
than $50,000.00.
Permission is also given in the lease by which the lessee may construct a building of not less
than $100.000.00, to take the place o f any buildings now or hereafter constructed. The lease
contains the usual provisions for forfeiture and security for performance and provides in case
o f forfeiture before the end o f the term, also unon the termination o f the lease by expiration
o f time, all buildings erected by the lessee shall become the property o f the lessor. During
the term, however, the lessee is given the right to sublet, make improvements, assign or sell
his interest in the lease, or use it as security fo r loans, etc. The intent of the instrument
apparently is that the lessee shall exercise all the rights o f ownership in the building or
buildings incident to ordinary ownership with the exception that the lessor has the right of
entry fo r inspection or exhibition, and with the further reservation that the lessee may not
incumber the property in such a manner as to impair the lessor’s interest therein.
The first question presented by your inquiry is as to whether under the Michigan Banking
Laws it is within the power of a State Bank to enter into such a lease.

OP

THE

li

C O M M IS S IO N E R

On this proposition I think we are agreed that State Banks may under Section 6100 o f the
Compiled Laws o f 1897 enter into a lease o f the nature indicated. This section provides, in
part, as follow s:
“ A bank may purchase, hold and convey real estate for the following purposes, but no
other: First, such as shall be necessary for the convenient transaction o f its business, including
with its banking offices other apartments to rent as a source o f income, but which shall not
exceed 50% o f its paid in capital * * *"
The National Banking Act (Revised Statutes, Section 5137) contains a very similar provision,
namely:
“ A National Banking Association may purchase, hold and convey real estate for the following
purposes and fo r no others: First, such as shall be necessary for its immediate accommodation
in the transaction o f its business. * * *”
Under this provision o f the National Banking Law, the Supreme Court o f the United States
held in several instances that National Banks possessed the power to purchase and hold long
term leases, provided such leases are bona fide. See Brown v. Schleier, 194 U. S., 18, affirming
the decision o f the Circuit Court o f Appeals in the same case, reported 118 Fed. 981. I think
this decision is conclusive upon the proposition, and that therefore it is intra vires o f our
State banks to enter into such a lease in preference to obtaining the fee.
Your second inquiry is as to whether under such a lease the investment of the lessee bank
should be carried under the head “ Banking House.”
Upon this proposition so far as I have been able to find the authorities do not throw any
light. If the bank had obtained the fee in thei land upon which the building is erected it would
be carried in its accounts as “ Banking House.” Having less than a fee, and an interest
which might be forfeited through non-performance on the part of the bank, and the terms
o f the lease itself imposing a continuous liability upon the lessee bank, there is some question
as to whether this lease is an asset or a liability. It is a liability ta the extent that the bank
must pay its rent whether it obtains any income from the building or not, and it has the
further liability that it must erect a building worth not less than $50,000.00 upon the land,
and it must at all times after the erection o f such building maintain the new building and
older buildings at a value o f not less than $100,000.00. Undoubtedly if the plans o f the bank
do not miscarry the lease will be a valuable asset.
Independent o f such consideration, however, and which are largely speculative, the fact
remains that the bank has invested, or will invest, a specified amount o f money in the erection
o f a building or buildings fo r its own use as a bank. I do not see how such an investment
can be treated differently from the investment in a fee, both being for the same purpose. The
only difference would be as to actual value. I understand that National Banks owning their
banking houses under similar leases are permitted to carry the same in “ Banking House”
account. I am therefore o f the opinion that the same rule should apply to State Banks. The
amount which should be carried as “ Banking House” account should not exceed the actual
value o f the buildings erected by the bank under the lease, and should not include the annual
rental paid for the ground or buildings erected by the landlord.
Respectfully yours,

Hon, E. H. Doyle, State Banking Commissioner, Capitol:
Dear Sir—-Your communication o f the 1 st inst. received, in which you request my opinion
on a proposition submitted to you by the .................. Bank. This proposition is as follow s:
“ The ...................... Bank has outgrown its present quarters and it is absolutely necessary
that we obtain a larger site or go to practically the same expense o f rebuilding on the present
site, and then not have a desirable building on account o f the narrow lot which we now
occupy, it being only 21 feet.
“ There is a building adjacent to our present location o f 28 feet, the title o f which stands
as follow s: The property was
willed by a Mr............................. to his two daughters, a Mrs.
..................: • and a Miss . . . . . _ ............. who have the use thereof for their natural lives. At the
death o f either one, the title is to go to her heirs. Miss .................. is a maiden lady 60 years
old. Mrs.
................... the other tenant, is married and is now o f the age of 56 years. She
has three children, who will be the remaindermen o f her interest in the property and un­
doubtedly the remaindermen o f the maiden lady, unless Mrs......................... should survive her.
“ These_ life tenants are willing to sell to the bank, but the remaindermen do not wish to
sell, claiming the money is well invested and that they would rather the investment would
stand until the death o f the life tenants.
.
“ The question arises as to whether the bank would have the right to take over the parties’
interestsby all o f them joining
in a lease, coupled with an option to purchase on the death of
the life tenants, so that they could go on and erect a bank building, and pay the life tenants
a rental during their lives, and at the end o f the lease period, or at the death o f the life
tenants, have the option to purchase become operative and they convey their interests in fee
to the present bank or its successor.”
In reply thereto would say that this proposition is similar to that involved in my opinion
given you March 17th, 1914, relative to banks buildings on leased property. In this particular
case the lease and option would necessarily have to include both the life tenants and all the
possible remaindermen.

TREASURER OF MUNICIPALITY NOT TO DEPOSIT FUNDS IN BANK WHERE HE IS STOCKHOLDER OR OTHERWISE.

( 42)

April 29, 1914.

Hon. Edward H. Doyle, Commissioner of Banking, Capitol:
Dear Sir—Your oral communication on the following proposition has been considered.
Y ou hand in a communication from Mr. Leon J. Navarre, o f Essexville, Michigan, as follow s.
“ The writer, who is a stockholder and director in the State Savings Bank of hssexville,
has been elected treasurer of the village o f Essexville.
...
“ An opinion has been handed me this morning which concerns the deposit of money wnicn
I may handle as such treasurer. The opinion is from the law' firm o f Coumans & Cjaltney, oi
Bay City, and is enclosed herewith fo r your inspection.
_
...
“ The writer talked over phone this morning to Mr. Manning, who stated that it the village
designated this bank as a depository everything would be all right.
. . .
,,
“ I do not wish to do anything contrary to the rules of the department and wish you would
write me in this regard, so that your decision may be submitted at the directors meeting
and settle any question with regard to your office.”
„ „
Accompanying this was also an opinion given by Messrs. Coumans & Galtney, oi nay cuty,
bearing upon the proposition, the conclusion o f which is as follow s:
. . .
“ Therefore, we conclude that by the provisions o f Sections 892, 893 and 895, the treasurer
o f any municipality is forbidden to deposit moneys in any bank.in which he is a stockholder
or otherwise.”
The references are to Howell’s Michigan Statutes (new).
In reply thereto would say that it has heretofore been the position of this department
that the treasurers o f the various municipalities can not deposit the funds which they hold as
such treasurers in banks "in which they are interested as stockholders, directors or officers.
This, however, is modified by the provisions of Acts 99 and 305, Public Acts of 1909. Act 99
applies to counties, and 305 applies to townships. Both of these acts provide for the deposit
o f public funds in banks to be designated by Boards o f Supervisors, County Auditors and
Township Boards, as the case may be. Under either Act the treasurer is relieved from his
responsibility in case o f the failure o f the banks in which the deposits are made where the
denositories are designated in accordance with the terms of the Acts. I think it would also
follow that where the Board o f Supervisors or the Township Board, as the case may be, has
undertaken to designate a depository fo r the funds, the treasurer would not be violating any
law following the directions o f those having the right to designate such depositories.
fh is
however, is by virtue o f express statutes. As to such officials as do not come within the
terms o f the above Acts, I think the old rule would fully apply. The general school law
also contains a provision bv which the electors o f a primary school district may_ designate
the depository o f the school district funds. Where this is done, I am o f the opinion that
it would relieve the treasurer o f any liability for depositing funds in a bank in which he
might be interested in the same way as in the case o f Counties or Townships. In the absence
o f express statute I think the opinion given by Coumans & Gaffney is correct.
Respectfully yours,
Grant F ellows,
Attorney General.

of a promissory note for the following form:

I wish to advise you as follow s:
It will be noted that the instrument is signed by two parties on its face, neither party
having been reauired to sign on the back. What you desire to know in particular is as to the
liability o f William Jones, the second signer, who claims to have signed the note as an
accommodation party and not as a beneficiary.
In reply thereto, I call your attention to the following provisions of Act 265 o f the
Public Acts o f 1905:
“ Section 2 . The person primarily liable on an instrument is the person who by the
terms o f the instrument is absolutely required to pay the same. All other parties are secon­
darily liable.”
.
.
.
“ Section 26. Every negotiable instrument is deemed prima facie to have been issued for
a valuable consideration: and every person whose signature appears thereon to have become
a party thereto for value.”
“ Section 31. ACCOMMODATION PARTY, Liability of— An accommodation party is one
who has signed the instrument as maker, drawer, acceptor, or endorser, without receiving
value therefor, and for the purpose o f lending his name to some other person. Such person
is liable on the instrument to a holder fo r value, notwithstanding such holder at the time o f
taking the instrument knew him to be only an accommodation party.”
“ Section 65. When person deemed endorser— A person placing his signature upon an
instrument otherwise than as maker, drawer, or acceptor, is deemed to be an endorser unless
he clearly indicates by appropriate words his intention to be bound in some other capacity.

In view o f the above provisions and the numerous authorities, there can be no doubt
that in an instrument executed in the above form William Jones would be prima facie deemed

STATE BANKS NOT TO PLEDGE ASSETS IN LIEU OF BOND TO SECURE COUNTY FUNDS.

April 29, 1914.

(44)
Hon. Albert E. Manning, Deputy Ranking Commissioner, Capitol:

Dear Sir—I have your communication o f the 28th inst., requesting my opinion as to
whether or not a state bank can pledge its bonds with the County Treasurer in order to
secure or guarantee county deposits. You have also forwarded to me the communication
from t h e ...................... Bank, in which the question is raised.
In reply thereto would say the only direct authority for the deposit o f county funds with
banks is found in Act 99 o f the Public Acts o f 1909. Before the passage o f this Act, and
even now in the absence o f affirmative action by the Board o f Supervisors, or Board o f County
Auditors, the County Treasurer was held absolutely responsible for all county funds. There
was no direct authority for his depositing the county moneys with banks or other depositories
unless as in some cases by local legislation. Under the provisions o f Act 99 of the Public
Acts o f 1909, above referred to, the Board o f Supervisors may designate a depository for
county funds under certain conditions. Your attention is called particularly to Section 3
o f this Act, which provides as follow s:
“ Before any deposit shall be made with any bank or banks as aforesaid, such bank or
banks shall execute and deliver to the Board o f Supervisors or the Board of County Auditors,
as the case may be, a good and sufficient bond in an amount at least equal to the maximum
amount to be deposited in such bank, and with such sureties as shall be approved by such
board and the Prosecuting Attorney o f the county. Said bonds shall be made to the county
and shall be conditioned for the safe keeping and repayment of such moneys or any part
thereof on demand and the payment o f said interest, and shall contain such other conditions
as may be required by the Board o f Supervisors or the Board of County Auditors, not in­
consistent with the provisions o f this Act.”
The condition prescribed in Section 3 is, in my opinion, an absolute one and for which
there would be no authority to make a substitution. The depositing o f collateral securities
would not, in my opinion, fulfill the conditions prescribed in the Act.
I am assuming for the purpose of this opinion that the Board of Supervisors or the
Board of County Auditors of Wayne has undertaken to designate the depositories for their
county funds either under the provisions of the above Act or some other similar law.
Respectfully yours,
Grant F ellows,

Attorney General.

CERTAIN MUNICIPAL PUBLIC UTILITY BONDS NOT LEGAL SAVINGS INVESTMENTS.

( 4S)
October 26, 1914.
Hon. E. H. Doyle, State Banking Commissioner, Capitol:
Dear Sir— You have referred to me a communication from a public committee in the City
o f Ypsilanti, requesting an opinion as to whether a proposed issue o f utility bonds would
come within the class o f investments permitted to be made by savings banks organized under
the Michigan Banking Law. The City o f Ypsilanti has recently authorized the purchase o f
the Ypsilanti gas plant and has authorized an issue o f one hundred thirty thousand dollars
o f mortgage bonds to pay for this plant, the bonds not being a liability upon the general
credit o f the city but being secured solely by a trust mortgage covering the property and
revenues o f the gas plant, including a twenty-year franchise in case o f foreclosure.
Section 27 o f the State Banking Law prescribes the class of investments which may be
made by savings banks o f the savings money on deposit. There are several classes which
are described in sub-sections (a) to (i) o f this section. There are two classes o f public bonds:
(a) Bonds o f the United States, or any State or Territory o f the United States: (b) The
public debt or bonds o f any city, county, township, village, or school district o f any State
or Territory in the United States, which shall have been authorized by the legislature o f such
State or territory.
The action o f the City o f Ypsilanti in purchasing the gas plant from a private corpora­
tion was evidently based upon the permission given in Section 4 o f Act 279 o f the Public
Acts o f 1909, as amended by Act 5 o f the Public Acts o f 1913. This section provides in part
as follow s:
“Each city may in its charter provide:
(b) For borrowing money on the credit o f the city in a sum not to exceed eight per
centum o f the assessed value o f all real and personal property in the city * * * * when
a city is authorized to acquire or operate any public utility, it may for the purpose o f ac­
quiring the same borrow money on the credit o f the city in a sum not to exceed two per
centum o f the assessed value o f all the real and personal property of the city, and the city
may also, for the purpose o f acquiring such public utility, issue mortgage bonds therefor
beyond the general limit o f bonded indebtedness prescribed by law : Provided, That such
mortgage bonds issued beyond the general limits o f bonded indebtedness prescribed by law
shall not impose any liability upon such city, but shall be secured only upon the property
and revenues o f such public utility, including a franchise stating the terms upon which in
case o f foreclosure, the purchaser may operate the same * * * * And provided further, That
the charter shall provide for the creation o f a sinking fund by setting aside such percentage
o f the gross or net earnings o f the public utility as may be deemed sufficient for the payment
o f the mortgage bonds at maturity.”

The question arising from your inquiry is, whether bonds o f the class described and
issued by the City o f Ypsilanti come within the provisions o f sub-section b o f Section 27 of
the Banking Law above quoted.
, ,
, „„„„
,
Section 27 o f the banking law was last amended by Act 44 of the Public Acts of 1913 and
was therefore re-enacted in its present form subsequent to the passage of Section 4 o f the
City Home Rule Law and under the ordinary rules o f statutory construction must therefore
be deemed to have been enacted in view o f the provisions of the City Home Rule Law. The
precise question under consideration involves the definition o f the term “ in the public debt
or bonds o f any city.” The banking law does not attempt to define this term any more than
is implied in the language used, and so far as I have been able to discover, the Supreme
Court o f this State has never been called upon to pass upon the question. It is also one
o f the first impressions so far as this department is concerned.
The purpose o f the provisions o f Section 27 is to throw proper safeguards around the
investments o f savings deposits and like other similar provisions of our banking law, and the
banking laws o f other states and o f the United States, must be strictly construed to give it
its intended effect.
In order that savings banks may invest in such debts or bonds, they must correspond to
all the requirements o f the statute, that is, they must be public debts or bonds and must
pertain to the city, county, township, village or school district as the case may be and
must have been authorized by the Legislature. So far as the particular bonds under con­
sideration are concerned, I have no hestitation in saying that they are, strictly speaking,
public bonds, and may be assumed to have been authorized by the Legislature o f this State,
at least for the purposes o f this opinion. Whether or not they are the bonds o f the City o f
Ypsilanti is, however, another question. It is true these bonds are authorized by the City o f
Ypsilanti and they are to be paid and redeemed by funds belonging to the City o f Ypsilanti.
They are not, however, secured by the faith and credit of the city1 as a whole.
it is a general rule o f law that where special funds are created for the payment o f a
particular class o f claims, those funds cannot be used for any other purpose. People vs.
Bay City, 38 Mich. 186; Claims payable out o f a special fund are usually not payable out o f
any other fund, and hence the municipality is not liable outside o f such fund. Brooks vs.
San Luis Obispo, 109 Cal. 50; Directors Chicago Public Library vs. Arnold, 60 111. App. 328;
Wiek vs. Wausan, 143 Wis. 645; Rhode Island M. & T. Company vs. Spokane, 19 Wash. 616;
Loudensiager vs. Atlantic City, 80 N. J. L. 658. This being the law independent o f statute,
we may consider our own statute as not only laying down a rule already adopted but_ as
absolutely controlling o f the proposition. These bonds are not, therefore, chargeable against
the City o f Ypsilanti as a whole.
Again, it will be noted that Section 4 o f the City Home Rule Act makes a distinction
between bonds issued on the faith and credit o f a city, and bonds secured by a publicly owned
utility and this distinction is not, as I understand it, disturbed by the decision rendered by
our Supreme Court in Attorney General vs. Lindsay, 20 D. L. N. 1167, where this provision
was under discussion and interpreted. It therefore follows the public debt and bonds .of a
city are subject to a very pronounced classification to the extent that one class is designated
as the debt o f a city and the other class is recognized as o f an opposite description, although
still a public debt.
I have been unable to find any decision which is exactly in point. In this connection,
however, the case of Smith vs. Smith, 30 Ky. 238. is of interest. In that case a suit was
brought in chancery for settlement between a guardian and his wards, the question presented
being whether the guardian should be held responsible for a sum of money received by him
for the wards and by him invested in the purchase of shares in the Bank of Kentucky,
which stock had become greatly depreciated. Under a rule that such moneys could only be
invested in public funds, and holding the guardian liable in case of loss where other invest­
ments were made, it was held by the Court as follows:
“We are of the opinion that the defendant (guardian) should be charged with the full
amount of the fund invested by him in bank stock, whether his liability be tested by common
or statutory law. We cannot consider stock in the Bank of Kentucky as ‘public funds,’
or in other words government stock, depending for its credit and security on the faith,
solvency and stability of the Government.”
The Bank o f Kentucky was, however, a Government bank (Briscoe vs. The Bank o f The
Commonwealth o f Kentucky, 1 1 Pet. 257), but inasmuch as the faith and credit o f the State of
Kentucky was not pledged as security for the bank stock, the stock was not considered
“ public funds.”
So in the present case I am impressed that while the proposed bond issue is to meet a
public expenditure, and is authorized by the City o f Ypsilanti, the bonds are not “ bonds
o f the City o f Ypsilanti” within the meaning o f the banking law. The object o f Section
27 o f the banking law is to provide the highest kind o f security, but the City o f Ypsilanti
has not provided the highest kind o f security. On the contrary it has expressly refused to
pledge its faith and credit as a city to meet the bond issue and has pledged only a particular
property belonging to the city. I am therefore o f the opinion that these bonds do not meet
the requirements o f the section o f the banking law above quoted.
Respectfully yours,
Grant F

The Department has always taken the position that a director, to meet the provisions o f
Section 12 o f the law, must own the stock individually. W e would appreciate your opinion
in the matter, and citing the following authorities handed us by the executor in support o f
his contention that he could qualify in his representative capacity as a director.

42 Conn. 560.
Will you kindly let us hear from you in re. the above at your earliest opportunity?”
In reply thereto would say that the qualifications o f directors are fixed by Section 12 of
the General Banking Laws o f the State. Among others, the following qualification is pre­
scribed, “ Every director must own and hold in his own name not less than ten shares o f the
capital stock o f such bank.”
I have carefully examined the citations you have referred to and am o f the opinion that
the rules there laid down, while applicable to general corporations, are not controlling as to
banks organized under the Michigan Bank Act, where personal responsibility, based upon
beneficial ownership o f stock, is plainly contemplated as a qualification for directorship. This
position has heretofore been assumed by this Department and I see no reason for not adhering
to the same. I am clearly o f the opinion that an executor o f an estate, whose only interest
in a bank results from such office, would not be qualified to be a director o f a State Bank.

Hon. Frank W. Merrick, Commissioner o f Banking Department, Capitol:

Dear Sir—I have your communication o f the 7th inst., as follow s:
“ We are in receipt o f several letters from a state bank desiring to be informed whether
or not it can legally transact the business o f selling steamship tickets.
This bank is located in a community thickly populated by foreigners, and could transact
more or less business in the direction o f acting as agent for the various ocean steamship
companies.”
In reply thereto would say that the general powers o f banks incorporated under the
Michigan Bank Act are prescribed in Section 4. Attention is particularly directed to the
seventh subdivision o f this section, reading as follows:
“ To exercise by its board o f directors or duly authorized officers or agents, subject to law,
all such power as shall be necessary to carry on the business o f banking, by discounting and
negotiating promissory notes, drafts, bills o f exchange, and other evidences of debts, by re­
ceiving deposits, by buying and selling exchange coin and bullion, and Dy loaning money on
personal and real security as provided hereinafter.”
These are the usual powers granted to banks in carrying on a banking business. It is a
general rule, laid down by all authorities, that the charter o f a bank determines the limit o f
its powers, and that it can exercise no powers excepting those expressly conferred by statute,
or necessarily implied and incidental to general banking powers. Michie, Section 87, page 647.
I am o f the opinion therefore that the business o f selling steamship tickets by a bank in this
state would be ultra vires and therefore unauthorized.

You desire to know whether or not such a ballot would be legal.
In reply thereto would say that it does not appear from your letter or from the notice
that the so-called ballot is used for any other purpose than obtaining an expression o f opinion
from stockholders who cannot attend the annual meeting. If this ballot is used for no
other purpose, I cannot see how any possible harm or wrong could result from its use.
On the other hand if this ballot is used for the purpose o f actually electing directors, and
as marked by an absent stockholder is cast in the ballot box of the meeting along with the
ballots o f stockholders who are present, I am clearly of the opinion that such ballot is invalid.
I know o f no principle o f corporation law which would permit the election of directors
in any other manner than at a meeting lawfully called and duly assembled. Cook on Cor­
porations, 7th Edition, Sections 588, 595, 596, 604, 605 and 610. It is possible that under
a proper charter provision and by-laws enacted under the authority thereof, or by statutory
provisions such a method o f electing directors could be legalized, but I am o f the opinion that
under our present banking law a stockholder must be either personally present or present
by proxy before his ballot can be cast in the election o f directors.

STATE BANK CANNOT BECOME SURETY OF PUBLIC OFFICER.

(49)

April 27, 1915.

Hon. Frank W. Merrick, Commissioner o f Banking, Lansing, Michigan:
Dear Sir— Your communication o f the 22nd instant received as follow s:
“ Recently the directors o f a state bank passed a resolution authorizing the bank to assume
all liabilities o f certain directors who were sureties on bonds of city treasurer. Can a state
bank assume any such liability by vote o f directors or by unanimous vote o f stockholders?
W e will appreciate your opinion in this regard.”
In reply thereto will say that banks are authorized to give bonds to secure city moneys
deposited with them in certain cases, as for instance, under Section 3033 o f the Compiled
Laws o f 1897, as amended by Act 156 o f the Public Acts of 1901, and under the provisions
o f some o f the Home Rule charters and legislative charters. This, however, must not be con­
fused with the bond given by the city treasurer when he qualifies for his office.
I do not know o f any statute authorizing a bank organized under the Michigan Banking
Law to become surety upon the bond o f any public officer. In the absence of an express
statute upon the subject, I am clearly o f the opinion that a state bank cannot lend its credit
in this way or enter upon any such obligation, either with or without consideration. A bank
can lend its credit and assume the obligations o f third parties only in cases where the bank is
directly interested and in the ordinary course o f banking.

If the bank cannot become the direct surety upon a city treasurer’s bond, it cannot assume
the liabilities o f directors who have become sureties. Neither the directors nor the stockholders
have the power to bind the bank for this purpose and I am, therefore, o f the opinion that
your question should be answered in the negative.

GENERAL BANKING LAW NOT AFFECTED BY ACT TO MAKE UNIFORM LAW OF TRANSFER OF STOCK.

(50)

Lansing, June 4, 1915.

Hon. Albert E. Manning, Deputy Banking Commissioner, Lansing, Michigan:
Dear Sii—Your letter o f the first instant received, containing the following inquiry:
“ I call your attention to Act 106, Public Acts o f 1913, and would appreciate your opinion
as to whether or not this in any way supersedes the provisions o f the banking law with
reference to the statutory lien upon bank stock as provided in Section 9. W e have recently
had several inquiries as to whether or not said Act No. 106 related to the stock o f state banks,
and will appreciate your opinion in regard thereto.”
In reply would say that the Act to which you refer is entitled “ An Act to make uniform
the law o f transfer o f shares o f stock in corporations.” The evident purposes o f this Act as
expressed in its title and in the various provisions made with respect to the methods of trans­
ferring stock, is to adopt a uniform set o f rules, most o f which are already recognized as
settled corporation law.
With regard to the question as to whether this Act is applicable to shares o f stock in banks,
I am inclined to the opinion that insofar as bank shares may be treated as transferable personal property, the Act would apply to them as well as to the shares o f other corporations.
Insofar, however, as this may be in conflict with express provisions o f the general banking
law o f the State as to the methods o f transferring bank shares and the lien on the same created
by any provision o f the banking act, quite a different question is presented.
Banks, as corporations, are controlled and regulated by the general banking law o f this
State. To that extent they are separate and distinct corporations. Section 9 o f Article 12 o f
the Constitution provides:

“ No general law providing— for the incorporation of trust companies or corporations for
banking purposes, or regulating the business thereof, shall be adopted, amended or re­
pealed except by a vote of two-thirds of the members elected to each house of the legisla­
ture........................................................ ”
As partially insuring the strict observance o f this Constitutional provision, the legislature
has adopted rules as follow s:
.
Rule No. 27. “ The question on the Anal passage o f all bills, whichby the constitution,
require the assent o f two-thirds o f the senators-elect, shall be taken by yeas and nays, and
entered on the journal, and unless two-thirds o f all the members-elect vote in the affirmative,
the bill shall be declared lost. And whenever such bill shall receive such assent of two-thirds
as aforesaid, the fact thereof shall be certified upon said bill.”
House Rule No. 64. “ No bill appropriating the public money or property for local or pri­
vate purposes, or providing for the incorporation o f trust companies, or corporations for
banking purposes, or regulating the business thereof, or amending or repealing any law pro­
viding fo r such incorporation or regulation shall be passed unless two-thirds o f the members
elected to the House shall have voted in favor o f the passage thereof.”
The legislative history o f Act 106 of the Public Acts o f 1913 is contained on page 96 of the
“ Index and History,” o f Senate Bills, this Act being Senate Bill No. 28. The bill was intro­
duced January 13, 1913, by Senator Smith, and was on the same day referred to the Committee
on Banks and Corporations. It was passed on third reading in the Senate March 18th, 1913,
and the journal entry as as follows :
“ Senate Bill No. 28 (file No. 30), entitled ‘A bill to make uniform the law of transfer of
shares of stock in corporations;’ was read a third time and passed, a majority of the Senatorselect voting therefor by yeas and nays, as follows:
Nays
Names of Senators (2)

Yeas
Names o f Senators (26)
The title of the Bill was agreed to.”

I refer to the legislative history as merely showing that the bill was not evidently regarded
in the Senate, where it was introduced, as an amendment to the banking laws, inasmuch as
the Senate rules applicable to such bills were not observed in the passage of this measure.
Of course, it is not a direct amendment to any law and only repeals or amends other laws by
implication. Repeals by implication are not favored, and I do not think the provisions of this
Act were intended to repeal or modify the express provisions of the general banking law.
In view of these facts and principles, I have no hestitation in advising you that no pro­
vision of the general banking law is affected by the Act under consideration.
Very respectfully,
Grant F

Lansing, July 6, 1915.

Honorable Frank W. Merrick, Commissioner o f the Banking Department, Lansing, Michigan:
Dear Sir— I have before me your communication o f the 30th ult., in which you request my
views as to the construction to be placed upon certain provisions found in Section 27 o f the
general banking law. As I understand the situation, a certain savings bank in this state
desires to invest a certain amount o f its deposits in so-called “ vendor’s lien notes” executed in
the State o f Texas, and by the terms o f which a lien is created upon real estate. The question
presented is as to whether or not such investment may be made under the law.
Insofar as it is material to the determination of this question, the section of the statute
above referred to provides:
“A savings bank shall keep on hand at least fifteen per cent of its total deposits, one-tliird of
which reserve shall be in lawful money in its own vaults, and the balance on deposit payable on
demand, with banks, national or state, in cities approved by the Commissioners as reserve cities,
or invested in United States bonds; three-fifths of the remainder of the savings deposits shall be
invested by the board of directors as follows:
(h) Said banks may loan the same upon negotiable paper, or other evidences of indebted­
ness secured by any of the above mentioned classes of security; or
(i) Upon notes or bonds secured by mortgage lien upon unencumbered real estate worth
at least double the amount loaned.....................................”
The anwser to the question upon which you have requested my views must depend upon
the construction to be given to the expression “ ‘mortgage lien” as used. It appears from the
correspondence submitted with your inquiry that the land upon which the lien stated in the
notes exists has been sold at prices ranging from $25 to $35 per acre. One-third of the pur­
chase price has been paid in cash and the remainder in the notes referred to. Said notes were
issued in series, the obligations in each series maturing at different times, varying from one to
four years. The deed o f the property refers expressly to the vendor’s lien created by virtue
o f the clause in the notes. This deed has, it is stated, been recorded.
Although it is not expressly so stated, I infer that the investment is sought to be made
out o f the 51% o f deposits that may be loaned upon negotiable paper or other evidences of
indebtedness secured by mortgage lien upon unencumbered real property.
The requirement that
such property be unencumbered necessarily implies that there shall be no other lien thereon
prior to, or equal in rank to, the mortgage by which the obligations taken by the bank are
secured. If, therefore, a savings bank were to be permitted under any circumstances to invest
moneys, out o f the fund in question in vendor’s lien notes, all o f such notes outstanding against
a particular description must necessarily be taken. Otherwise, if a number o f such notes were
owned by others, the objection would be encountered that the property was not unencumbered
because there would exist thereon a lien equal in rank to that held by the savings bank.

Quite possibly, however, in the case to which you refer, it is desired to buy all o f such out­
standing notes so that the objection above suggested would be avoided. This brings us to a
consideration o f the principal point at issue; that is, whether or not the lien created by these
notes can be said to be a “ mortgage lien” within the meaning of the Michigan statute here
involved. The so-called “ vendor’s lien” is expressly recognized by statute in the State of
Texas. The provisions with reference thereto are analogous in many respects to the enact­
ments o f the legislature affecting mortgages upon real property. The decisions o f the court o f
last resort o f Texas, construing these legislative enactments and involving the nature and nec­
essary incidents pertaining to the vendor’s lien, proceed upon the theory that such lien is
analogous to the lien that exists by virtue o f a mortgage or deed o f trust. It is significant to
note, however, that the statute does not treat the vendor’s lien in connection with mortgage
liens, nor does it declare that such liens shall be regarded as identical and subject in all re­
spects to the same considerations. Likewise, the decisions o f the courts, while recognizing the
analogy do not go to the extent o f declaring that for all practical purposes, the vendor’s lien
and the mortgage lien are identical. The comparatively recent case o f Busch v. Broun, 152 S.
W. G83, may be cited as suggesting the attitude o f the Supreme Court o f Texas. It was there
held that an assignment o f a vendor’s lien note should be registered upon the ground that
under the terms o f the statute and prior decisions of the court, an assignment of a mortgage
must he recorded, in order to protect the rights o f the assignee as against third parties and
that the assignment o f a vendor’s lien note was subject to similar consideration because such
note conveyed “ the same character o f lien.” It is obvious from the reading o f this opinion of
the court that in the use o f the words quoted it was meant to imply that the note like the
mortgage'created a lien upon the land within the meaning o f the laws, relating to registration
o f instruments affecting the title to land.
It was not indicated that in the opinion o f the
court the same lien wascreated by the notes as is created by a mortgage.
It is also o f interest to note in this connection that the statutes o f the State o f Texas
relating to certain mutual insurance companies permit the investment of the funds o f such
companies, in national, state, county and city bonds, and also in first mortgages upon real
estate, subject to the restriction that the amount secured by such mortgages should not exceed
50% o f the value o f the land. Permission is not given to such companies to invest in vendor’s
lien notes. Had it been the intention to grant such permission, it may, I believe, be assumed
that the terms o f the statute would have been so expressed. This inference would seem to be
fully warranted because o f the various statutory provisions by which mortgages and vendor’s lien
notes are recognized as separate and distinct undertakings, although analogous in many respects,
and o f the same-character in that each creates a lien; on real property.
As I view the matter the reasons that may have prompted the legislature of Texas in not
including vendor’s lien notes in the list of securities in which mutual insurance companies
might invest are not difficult to ascertain. As suggested by the correspondence submitted by
you, many such notes may be issued, each imposing a lien upon the same property. If, as is
usually the case, these notes are held by different parties, it follows necessarily that no one of
such holders has what may be termed a prior lien. Rather, all of such liens are of equal rank.
It should be noted also in this connection that each of such notes imposes a lien, while in the
event that a mortgage is executed, securing an indebtedness, there is, of course, but the one
lien, even though such indebtedness may be evidenced by a number of notes, bonds, or other
obligations. It was unquestionably the view of the Texas legislature that first mortgages were
preferable to vendor’s lien notes. Undoubtedly reasons of public policy were deemed to exist
that warranted the apparent discrimination.
I am impressed that similar reasons o f public policy obtain in the construction of the pro­
vision o f the Michigan statute that is here involved. A reading o f Section 27 is sufficient to
indicate conclusively that the legislature deemed it wise to carefullv safeguard the investment
o f the funds o f savings banks. I challenge your attention specifically to subdivisions (e), (f),
and (g) thereof.
It was clearly intended that every precaution should be observed in order
to prevent even a possibility o f loss. Undoubtedly the history of banking, as conducted prior
to the passage o f supervisory and regulatory statutes, explains in large measure the extreme
care with which this act Was drawn. In permitting investments in notes or bonds secured by
mortgage, it was provided, in accordance with the general spirit o f this act, not only that the
real estate must be unencumbered, but that it must be worth at least double the amount
loaned, it occurs to me that this last provision might operate to prevent investments in the
specific notes referred to in your communication, for it appears that such notes were given
for_ two-thirds o f the purchase price o f the land. Assuming that such price may be taken to
indicate the actual value o f the land, it is patent that the liens created by such notes exceed
m the aggregate one-half the value o f the property. If, therefore, all o f the notes outstand­
ing against any particular description were acquired by the bank to which you refer, there
might still be involved the question as to whether or not such investment is in contravention
o f this clause. However, I regard this feature as o f minor importance unless it is sought to
purchase notes secured by a trust mortgage, to which more specific reference will hereafter be
made.
The significant feature of the clause to which attention has been directed lies in the fact
that the legislature has seen fit to refer only to mortgage liens rather than to liens generally
that may coyer real property. Had it been the intention to include liens other than those
existing by virtue of a mortgage, within the purview of the act, it is, I believe, fair to assume
that this particular clause would have been enacted accordingly. I am strongly impressed
that the intention of the legislature cannot be carried out unless the restrictions imposed are
carefully observed in accordance with the letter of the law. Preciselv the same reasons of
public policy that prompted the inclusion of these provisions in Section 27 require that in
construing the same, there shall be no exception permitted and no practice allowed that will
open the door to a modification of the requirements deemed to be necessary to safeguard the
rights and interests of the depositors in savings banks. In accordance with these suggestions,
I am constrained to the opinion that the savings bank to which you refer may not properly
invest in vendor’s lien notes covering property in the State of Texas on the theory that the
lien created by such notes is a “mortgage lien” within the meaning of Section 27 of the general
banking law. This, I believe, covers your first question.

With reference to your second inquiry as to whether or not a loan secured by trust deed on
realty in the State o f Texas may be made the subject o f an investment made by a savings
bank out o f its deposits, it would seem that no feasible objection may be made thereto. This
so-called “ deed o f trust” a copy o f which is submitted, is to all intents and purposes a mort­
gage and in consequence the lien created thereby may fairly be said to be “ mortgage lien.” In
making investment in obligations secured by such lien, it must be borne in mind that the
aggregate o f such obligation may not exceed one-half the value of the property and that such
lien must be prior in character to all other liens outstanding. The fact that it is deemed nec­
essary to execute this instrument in certain cases may in itself be taken as an indication that
the so-called vendor’s lien notes are not as ample security as is the lien created by a mort­
gage or deed o f trust. In case o f any default under the latter, the trustee is, o f course,
charged with the duty o f protecting the rights o f all the holders of the obligations that are
secured by such lien. As stated, there seems to be no objection to an investment in obligations
secured in this manner providing o f course, the necessary restrictions and limitations imposed
by the statute are observed.

Hon. Frank W. Merrick, Commissioner Banking Department:
Dear Sir—Your, communication o f the 28th inst. received as follows:
“ I desire to call your attention to Section 1 1 o f the banking law, which provides that a
bank may purchase and hold real estate such as shall be necessary for the convenient transac­
tion o f its business, including with its banking office other apartments to rent as a source o f
income, but which shall not exceed fifty per cent o f its paid in capital. Under this provision of
said Section, I desire to inquire whether or not in your opinion it would be legal for a state
bank to carry as an asset stock o f a Building Company up to fifty per cent o f capital? The
Building Company is one organized for the purpose o f erecting a bank and office building for
the state bank, which bank heretofore held a ninety-nine year lease o f the property.
The
Capital stock o f the Building Company is $250,000, all held by the directors of the bank, and
the Building Company will also have a bond issue o f $250,000, retirable at the end o f twentyseven years from the income o f the building.
Trusting that this will have your early attention ............................. ”
It is my understanding from your inquiry that this particular bank contemplates carrying
the stock in the Building Company as an asset under its banking house account.
The authority o f a state bank to invest in real estate is limited by the provisions o f Sec­
tion 1 1 o f the General Banking Law to w hich‘ you refer.
Unquestionably this section con­
templates direct ownership either by way o f a fee or. as we have heretofore held, a long term
lease. _ See Attorney General’s Report for nineteen-fourteen at page 578. I do not think that the
provisions o f this section can be further extended by construction.
Moreover the authorities are uniform in holding that unless expressly authorized by statute,
State and National banks cannot hold stock in other corporations and where they are author­
ized to hold such stock they can only do so in the manner and for the purposes prescribed.
Upon this proposition you are respectfully referred to Attorney General’s Report for nineteenfourteen at page 434.
Further discussion o f this matter I think is unnecessary, and your inquiry is therefore
answered in the negative.

December 28, 1915.
Hon. Frank W. Merrick, Banking Commissioner, Lansing, Michigan:
Dear Sir— Answering your communication o f recent date as follows:
“ Section 1 1 o f the banking law limits the investment by a state bank in real estate for
banking^ purposes to ‘ fifty per cent o f its paid in capital.’ The question is asked whether the
phrase paid in capital’ means ‘capital stock’ or does it mean the entire assets o f a bank, v iz :
money paid in fo r stock, surplus, undivided profits, or other property in the bank. W e will
appreciate an opinion from your Department on this question.”
In reply thereto would say that the provision o f section 1 1 o f the State Banking law to
which you refer reads in part as follow s:
The bank may purchase, hold and convey real estate for the following purposes, but no
.F ir s t , such as shall be necessary for the convenient transaction o f its business, including
with its banking office, other apartments to rent as a source o f income but which shall not
exceed fifty per cent o f its paid in capital.........................................”
The meaning o f the phrase “ paid in capital” as it appears in this section is doubtless made
iia\i. i re*erence to the provisions o f section 5 o f the same act in which it is provided:
At least fifty per cent o f the capital stock o f every bank shall be paid in before it shall be
authorized to commence business and the remainder o f the capital of such bank shall be paid
in monthly installments o f at least ten per cent on the whole o f the capital, payable at the end
of each succeeding month............................. ”
Other provisions o f the banking law clearly distinguish between paid in capital and other
assets.of the bank, such as surplus, undivided profits, etc. This, as I take it, is the view held
by Michie in that part o f his work devoted i o a discussion o f capital stock and dividends from
which I wish to quote as follow s:

Hon. Frank W. Merrick, State Banking Commissioner, Lansing, Michigan:

Dear Sir— I have your communication o f the 14th ir.st. as follow s:
.
“ I am enclosing herewith letter from one o f our State banks, as well as advertisements
attached, upon the subject matter mentioned in the letter. Will you kindly advise us as to
whether or not a building and loan association can legally advertise for deposits; and also
advise us, whether or not in the event o f an individual or bank loaning a building and loan
association money, would the person or bank become a preferred creditor as against the stock­
holders o f the building and loan association.”
. ,
, ,
In reply thereto would say that domestic building and loan associations are governed by
the provisions o f Act 50 o f the Public Acts o f 1887, as amended by Act 17 of the Public Acts
o f IDOL The purpose o f such associations is stated in section 1 o f the above act as follows:
“ Any number o f persons * * * desiring to organize a building and loan association
for the purpose o f building and improving homesteads, removing incumbrances therefrom, and
loaning money to the members thereof, may, by complying with all the provisions of this act and
entering into articles o f association, become a corporate body. * * * * ’ ’
Section 5 provides in part as follow s:
. . .
,
.
“ The authorized capital stock o f such association shall be divided into shares having a par
value o f not less than twenty-five dollars, nor more than two hundred dollars each, payable
in periodical installments, called dues, not exceeding two dollars per month on each share:
Provided, That the by-laws may provide for the advance payment of installment dues and for
which there may be issued an advance payment certificate. The shares may be issued in series,
or at any time as the by-laws shall determine, and subscriptions therefor shall be made payable
to the association.”
.
Under the provisions o f sections five and six o f the act most building and loan associations
in this State make provision for investment in their capital stock on the installment plan.
This, however, must be distinguished from receiving deposits as banks do business.
I have examined the advertisement to which you refer and do not think it is open to the
objection that the building and loan association in question is holding itself out to be a bank.
I am o f the opinion that were they doing so it would constitute a misuse o f their charter.
With reference to the second question which you ask as to whether a bank loaning money
to a building and loan association would be preferred in case of insolvency over stockholders
in the association, I am
o f the opinion that the same rule would apply as in
ordinary corpora
tions. The members o f a building and loan association are mutually liable for its obligations
and the funds o f the association and its assets in case insolvency results, may be used for the
payment o f debts. In this connection I call your attention to Thornton and Blackledge on
building and loan associations, Sections 376 and 377.

Dear Sir— W e have had under consideration for some time the proposition submitted to
your Department by one o f the State Banks in Detroit, relative to the proposed building o f a
banking house where the cost o f the land and the building will be approximately two million
dollars, which amount equals the capital o f the bank. Inasmuch as section 11 o f the general
banking law only permits 50% o f the capital to be.invested in a banking house, this bank has
submitted several propositions for your approval. These propositions are as follow s:

C O M M IS S IO N E R

( 1 ) A state bank with $2,000,000 paid in capital desires to invest $1,000,000 in a bank­
ing office and office building as a source o f income, as follow s: To obtain a site and erect an
18 story banking and office building at a total cost o f not exceeding $2,000,000 using therefor
one-half o f its paid in capital, viz: $1 ,000,000 and issuing building bonds for the remaining
$1 ,000,000, the principal and interest o f which bonds shall be payable solely from the net
income o f the property, and which bonds shall be, according to their terms, solely payable from
such net income as may be derived and not a claim or debt against the bank, not a claim
against any o f its property nor assets nor against the building, but merely against the net
income until the principal and interest o f the bonds are paid. Is this permissible?
(2)
Instead o f the issuance o f the bonds by the bank, may an independent corporation or
an individual or individuals procure title to the site, erect the building, sell it absolutely to
the bank fo r $1 ,000,000, reserving the title to the net income until the amount received from
such net income shall reimburse it or him or them for the balance o f the cost plus 5% per
annum until paid?
(3)
May an independent corporation, individual or individuals owning building and site
worth $2,000,000 sell to the bank an undivided one-half interest therein for $1 ,000,000, they
holding as tenants in common, and then lease the remaining undivided one-half interest therein
to the bank for a rental equal to the net income o f the whole building, with the proviso that
when the bank has paid from such net rental an amount sufficient to cover the value o f the
undivided one-half interest plus 5% interest, the whole title thereto shall vest in the bank?
(4)
If an independent corporation, individual or individuals procured the site and erected
the building at a cost o f $2,000,000, and gave a trust mortgage on the property to secure the
payment o f $1 ,000,000 construction bonds at a rate o f $100,000 a year inclusive of interest,
could a state bank o f $2,000,000 paid in capital buy the property for banking offices and apart­
ments as a source o f income for $1 ,000,000, subject to such trust mortgage, on the express
stipulation, however, that the bank does not assume and agree to pay the mortgage or bonds
secured thereby, but that, so far as the bank is concerned, the holders must look to the property
for liquidation, and payment?
(5)
Can a state bank invest one-half o f its paid in capital in a building and site as cotenant in common with another corporation, individual or individuals, and later by an increase
o f its capital paid in, buy out its co-tenant?
.
Proposition No. 1 , I think should be answered in the negative. Under this proposition the
net income from rentals, etc., would be used in discharging the principal and interest on the
bonds. Such rentals are assets o f the bank and the bank would, therefore, use its assets in
paying off the mortgage bonds, thus increasing its investment in the banking house.
The
proposition is clearly an evasion o f the restrictions imposed by section 1 1 and should not be
approved.
Proposition No. 2. This is subject to the same objections as the first proposition and should
likewise be disapproved.
Proposition No. 3. This proposition is subject to the criticism that the bank has already
invested up to its limit in the banking house and then proceeds to lease the other undivided
half interest from the other tenant in common for an amount equal to half the value o f the
building. This proposition is so clearly an evasion o f the law that it should be given no further
consideration.
Proposition No. 4. I do not see how a distinction can be made between the bank being
liable for a debt and property o f the bank being liable. In any event failure to meet the terms
of the mortgage lien would involve the assets o f the bank, especially since the bank would
propose to invest one million dollars o f its capital in the real estate. This proposition is an
evasion o f section 11 and possibly o f section 45, which provides that a bank cannot pledge its
assets as collateral security so as to give a preference to the creditor.
Proposition No. 5. This proposition is governed by a separate opinion this day rendered to
you and in short may be answered as follow s: that there is nothing in the banking law to
prohibit a State bank from being a tenant in common with another corporation or individual
provided that it does not involve as a necessary consequence a partnership agreement. My fear
would be that a partnership agreement would be necessary, and that would be especially true
where the parties as tenants in common contemplate from the beginning that one of the parties
should purchase the other’s interest and that in the meantime one o f the parties would be
acting as a trustee or agent for all in the collection o f rents, payment of taxes, insurance, etc.
I would suggest, as I did in my other opinion, that any contract made between the tenants in
common under this proposition should be submitted to the banking department before taking
effect.
Respectfully yours,

Dear Sir—Your communication o f the 13th ult. received as follow s:

Answering your first question, would say that the right of a bank to purchase, hold and
convey real estate is governed by Section XI of the General Banking Law which - provides in
part, as follows:
“A bank may purchase, hold and convey real estate for the following purposes, but no
other:
First. Such as shall be necessary for the convenient transaction of its business, including
with its banking office other departments to rent as a source of income, but which shall not
exceed fifty per cent
of its paid in capital; *
*”
This section does not attempt to define the character of the title to the real estate which
a bank may purchase; nor does it prescribe any limitations except such as may be inferred
from the words themselves “purchase, hold and convey real estate.” We have held that under
this provision a bank may obtain less than a fee, as for instance a ninety-nine year lease.
Section 8825 of the Compiled Laws of 1897 provides as follows:
“Estates in respect to the number and connection of their owners are divided into estates
in severalty in joint tenancy, and in common the nature and properties of which, respectively,
shall continue to be such as are now established by law, except as far as the same may be
modified by the provisions of this chapter.”
Section 8826 provides:
“ All grants and devices of lands, made to two or more persons, except as provided in the
following section, shall be construed to create estates in common, and not in joint tenancy,
unless expressly declared to be in joint tenancy.”
It has been held that a corporation can not take an estate in joint tenancy, either jointly
with another corporation or with a natural person.
(10 Cyc., page 1132). But it can take
and hold as a tenant in common with another corporation or with a natural person.
See
DeWitt vs. San Francisco, 2 Cal. 289; Estell vs. Southern University, 12 Lea Tenn. 476: Haven
vs. Melilgarten, 19 111. 91; Hacket vs. Railway Company, 12 Ore. 131; 10 Cyc. 1132. It is a
general rule that corporations can not enter into partnership agreements and this rule would
prohibit a corporation from holding lands in partnership or under partnership agreements; but
the rule as to partnerships would not prevent a corporation from holding an estate in common
with another corporation or with a private person..
Answering your first question, therefore, I would say that a bank might hold title in
common with another corporation or private individual, to real estate to be used as a bank­
ing house, provided there does
not follow as a matter of necessity the entering into a part­
nership agreement relative to
the use of the property. This I think would not prevent
the tenants in common from agreeing by contract as to which portion of the proposed prop­
erty should be used by either party, but would prohibit any agreement by which the one tenant
m common should permit the other tenant in common to bind the entire property for obligations
of a single tenant in common. In this connection I would suggest that any agreements made
between the tenants in common as to the use of the property should be submitted to the Banking
Commissioner so as to avoid ultra vires acts on the part of the bank.
Answering your second question your attention is called to an opinion rendered by me to
Mr. Leland F. Bean on pages
427 and 428 o f the Attorney General’s Report for 1915, in
which the question was raised as to whether a township could own the fee in a second story
of a building. In that opinion I said:
“ It does not occur to me that the township could own the second story of a building in
fee. Such an attempted purchase of a building or a portion thereof apart from the realty
would in all probability be construed as a severance in legal effect, and an estate in fee can
exist only in land, and applies to buildings or other structures only insofar as the same are
regarded as attached to and part of the land. It would be impossible for the land to be held
m fee by one person and a building on such land to be held in fee by another.”
I am clearly of the opinion that the title to upper stories of a building can not be held in
fee by any person other than the owner of the land upon which the building stands.

Without reference to the
practical operatlon of this contract as written, or to its enforcibility, it does not occur to me
tnat a State bank, if it performs the various acts contemplated, will thereby infringe any
provision of the banking law or any other statute of the state.
Undoubtedly it has the
power of a corporation to sell its property, to lease property and to purchase property. It
does not appear that authority of any other or different nature is involved.
I do not under­
stand that my opinion is requested except as to the legality of these various acts, assuming
that eaçh and all of them may and will be performed in accordance with the written instrument.

C O M M IS S IO N E R

JOINT TENANCY NOT CREATED BY JOINT DEPOSIT.

(58)

December 30, 1916.

Hon. Matthew Bush, Judge o f Probate, Corunna, Michigan:
Dear Sir— I am in receipt o f your communication o f the 22d inst., wherein you request an
opinion from this Department as to the construction to be placed upon the term “ joint ten­
ants” as used in section 3 o f Act 248 o f the Public Acts o f 1909. The section to which you
refer reads as follow s:
“ When a deposit shall be made in any bank or trust company by any person in the name
o f such depositor or any other person, and in form to be paid to either or the survivor of
them, such deposits thereupon and any additions thereto, made by either of such persons, upon
the making thereof, shall become the property o f such persons as joint tenants, and the same
together with all interest thereon, shall be held for the exclusive use o f the persons so named
and may be paid to either during the lifetime o f both, or to the survivor after the death o f
one o f them, and such payment and the receipt o f acquittance of the same to whom such
payment is made shall be a valid and sufficient release and discharge to said bank for all
payments made on account o f such deposits prior to the receipt by said bank o f notice in
writing not to pay such deposits in accordance with the terms thereof.”
Prior to the enactment of this statute it had been the holding of the Supreme Court that
an estate in joint tenancy could not be created in personal property.
See—
Waite vs. Bovee, 35 Mich 425;
State Bank of Croswell vs. Johnson, 151 Mich. 538;
Burns vs. Burns, 132 Mich. 441.

■

I am impressed that it was not the intention o f the legislature in enacting this statute to
create an estate in joint tenancy as it was known to the common law in bank deposits made
in accordance with the provisions with the same, but that the object o f this statute is to protect
the bank in case payment o f the money is made to the survivor before the bank has received
notice o f the death o f one o f the parties. The language o f the statute would seem to indicate
that this was the intention o f the legislature and I am, therefore, of the opinion that section 3
o f the act does not create a joint tenancy in personal property as the term “ joint tenancy” was
known to the common law.

BANK LOANS TO BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCIATIONS ARE LEGAL

March 19, 1917.

(59)

Hon. Frank W. Merrick, Commissioner Banking Department, Lansing, Mich.:
Dear Sir-—Your communication o f the 14th instant received requesting my opinion upon
the following proposition:
“ Investigation develops the fact that numerous banks under the supervision of this Depart­
ment are from time to time advancing funds to certain building and loan associations in the
State. The question has arisen whether building and loan associations, as organized under
the Michigan statute, are given the right
to
borrow funds for loan purposes in thisway; and
as a consequence whether the loans held by banks are legal investments or not.”
In reply thereto would say that under date o f July 31, 1901, Honorable Horace M. Oren,
then attorney general, advised the secretary o f state that building and loan associations have
a right to borrow money to carry out the purposes o f such organizations, in the absence of
statutory prohibition, or by-laws o f such associations prohibiting it; and have implied power
to secure the payment o f such loans by assignment o f mortgages, bonds, etc. See Attorney
General’s Report for 1902, page 59.
I do not find that this question has since been passed upon by this department, and I
therefore assume that the opinion o f Mr. Oren has been followed in this respect. If a building
and loan association has the authority to borrow and pledge its securities it consequently
follows that a bank would have the same right to loan its money to a building and loan
association as to any other borrower.
Respectfully yours,

Dear Sir— Your communication o f the 19th ult. received as follow s:
“ We have been requested by a State bank to submit to you the proposition of whether a
State bank may legally close its bank on an afternoon other than Saturday during the summer
months. As you no doubt are aware Saturday afternoon is a busy time in the smaller towns,
and for that reason banks dislike to close.
“ Will you kindly give this matter your early attention?”
In reply thereto, would say that there does not appear to be any authority in the banking
act under which State banks may close through banking hours on any days except those
prescribed.

February 19, 1918.
Hon. Frank W. Merrick, State Banking Commissioner, Lansing, Michigan:
Dear Sir— I have before me your communication of the 8th inst. with reference to t h e '
authority o f a bank organized under the banking laws of this state to rediscount its negotiable
notes for the purpose o f securing funds to reloan.
Section 32 o f the Michigan Banking statute provides in part as follow s:—
“ Provided further that any bank may borrow money for temporary purposes, and may
pledge assets o f the bank not exceeding fifty per cent in excess of the amount borrowed as
collateral security therefor: Provided further, That whenever it shall appear that a bank
is borrowing habitually for the purpose o f reloaning, the Commissioner o f the Banking Depart­
ment may require such bank to pay off such borrowed money. Nothing herein contained shall
prevent any bank from rediscounting in good faith and endorsing any of its negotiable notes.”
You will note that this section prevents a bank from borrowing habitually for the purpose
o f reloaning. This section provides further that nothing therein contained should prevent
any bank from rediscounting in good faith and endorsing any of its negotiable notes.
It is my opinion that it was not the intention o f the legislature in providing that a bank
might rediscount in good faith its negotiable notes to authorize the said bank to rediscount its
negotiable notes for the purpose o f securing funds to reloan.
This, section permits a bank to rediscount its negotiable notes if done in good faith, and
should a bank rediscount such paper merely for the purpose of securing funds to reloan, I do
not think it can be said that said bank is acting in good faith.

TRUST COMPANIES CANNOT

LAWFULLY PURCHASE SHARES OF THEIR OWN CAPITAL STOCK.

(62)

April 9, 1919.

Hon. Frank W. Merrick, State Banking Commissioner, Lansing, Michigan:
Dear Sir—Y our communication o f the 3d instant requesting an opinion from this Department
as to the authority o f a trust company organized under Act 108 o f the Public Acts o f 1889, to
purchase shares o f its own capital stock, is before me.
In reply thereto would say that in my opinion your question should be answered in the
negative for the following reasons:
(1) The statutes under which this class of corporations is organized expressely enmuerates
the classes of securities in which they may invest their funds. This statute contains no provision
authorizing a trust company to purchase shares of its own capital stock. The classes of
securities enumerated in this statute are in my opinion the only securities in which a trust
company may invest its funds.
(2) The purchase of shares of its own capital stock by a trust company is a reduction of
its capital stock. The statute under which these trust companies are organized provides the
method for the reduction of capital stock, and in my opinion the statutory method is exclusive.
(3) Section 14 o f the act under which Michigan trust companies are organized imposes
upon the stockholders a liability to the extent o f the amount o f the stock therein, at the par
value thereof, in addition to the amount invested in such shares. To permit a trust company
to purchase shares of its own capital stock would permit it to impair the security intended for
the benefit o f creditors.
Trusting this will serve to furnish you with the desired information I am,

TRUST COMPANIES DO NOT HAVE FOWER TO EXECUTE ACCEPTANCES.

( 63)
October 2, 1919.
Hon. Frank W. Merrick, Commissioner o f Banking Department, Lansing, Michigan:
Dear Sir— We have the following communication from your Department:
“The question has arisen as to the rights of trust companies, operating under the Michigan
trust law, to execute acceptances in the same manner as our Michigan State Banks are allowed
to do under the banking law. I am unable to find any provision in our trust law permitting
the execution of acceptances and for that reason the matter is referred to you for an opinion
as to their rights in this connection.”
In answering this question we assume you have reference inter alia to the authority
expressly granted to banks in subsection 8 o f section 4 o f the general banking law as follow s:
“ To accept for payment at a future date, not to exceed six months, drafts drawn by the
patrons, but no bank shall accept such drafts in the aggregate to an amount exceeding 50 per
cent o f its capital and undivided surplus, such acceptances to be considered liabilities within
the meaning o f limitations provided in section 52 o f this act.”
The above provision was added by amendment in Act 299 of the Public Acts of 1917. In
passing it should be said that it had been held by this Department that such acceptances (for
future payment at a future date) Could not be executed by State banks in the absence of
express statutory permission, since it involved a species of loan of a bank’s credit and a
species of liability not contemplated by existing law and not embraced within their general
authority. Hence the above legislation. The amendment of 1917 makes such transactions
legitimate banking business.
I think it can safely be assumed, if banks could not have included such business in their
transactions, in the absence of express statutory authority, that trust companies equally could

not since the powers o f trust companies are also strictly statutory. The authority given to
State banks in the above amendment cannot inure to the benefit o f trust companies, since the
two kinds o f institutions are governed by different laws, and trust companies, on the contrary,
are not permitted to do general banking business. See section 9 o f Act 108 o f the Public Acts
of 1889 (section 8052 o f the Compiled Laws o f 1915).
A close examination of the trust company act fails to reveal any direct or express pro­
vision authorizing trust companies to include acceptances so as to create a primary liability
against the trust company as defined in the negotiable instruments law. While the silence of
the statute would doubtless be a sufficient reason, a better reason for denying to trust com­
panies the right to execute such acceptances is to be found in the strict limitations pre­
scribed by the trust company act itself as to the character of transactions open to them, both
as to employment of capital and investment of trust funds. Under the provisions of section
8052 of the Compiled Laws of 1915, trust companies shall have power “to loan money upon
real estate and collateral security, and to execute and issue its note and debentures, pay­
able at a future date, and to pledge its mortgages or real estate and other securities as
security therefor.” Under section 8054 of the Compiled Laws of 1915, the capital stock of
such companies may be invested, “ in bonds secured by mortgages, or notes and mortgages or
unincumbered real estate within the State of Michigan, worth double the amount secured
thereby or in public stocks and bonds * * * and such board of directors may invest or loan
the balance of its capital stock and other moneys received by such corporation in trust,
in bonds secured by mortgages, or notes and mortgages, on unincumbered real estate within
the State of Michigan worth double the amount secured thereby, or in public stocks and bonds
of the United States * * * or in such real or personal securities as they may deem proper.”
It will be seen that all of these investments require security, whether the funds so invested
are derived from surplus capital, from loans or from trust funds in their keeping. Nowhere
are they permitted to invest by loaning their funds without security.
The acceptances under discussion primarily do not call for security and on the contrary
are intended to operate without ordinary direct security.
I think it can also be safely said that such acceptances have not heretofore been deemed
a necessary part o f trust company business within this state, and that in any event they fall
more properly within the sphere o f general banking operations than in that o f trust com­
pany business, taking the distinction between the two institutions as generally laid down
by the authorities for a criterion. In this connection your attention is invited to the opinion
of Attorneys General Wykes and Fellows o f December 31, 1912, Attorney General’s Report for
1913 at page 170, where these distinctions are discussed in relation to the right o f trust
companies to issue certificates o f deposit.
As a limitation upon the general powers o f trust companies, section 9 o f the trust com­
pany law contains the following provision:
“ But nothing herein contained shall be construed as giving the right to issue bills to circulate
as money, or to buy or sell bank exchange, or to do a general banking business.”
This provision is a direct limitation upon the powers granted to trust companies in the
same section of the act “to act generally as agents or attorneys for the transaction of busi­
ness, the management of societies, the collection of rents, interest, dividends, mortgages,
bonds, bills, notes and securities for moneys.”. This latter provision, in my opinion, is the
measure of the powers of a trust company with reference to the handling of negotiable instru­
ments originating outside of the trust company itself. This power falls far short of grant­
ing to trust companies a general authority such as is conferred upon banks in the eighth
subdivision of section 4 of the banking law. The only legitimate ways, in my opinion, that
a trust company can handle negotiable instruments are in connection with their authority
to make collections for their clients in which transactions they act solely as agents or
attorneys; and in their regular investments permitted by law and as restricted by the terms
of the trust company act; or in such limited transactions as become necessary in the discharge
of their own corporate functions as distinguished from the employment of their capital and
their transactions on behalf of clients.
In conclusion, I am of the opinion that direct and express legislation would be necessary
before trust companies can be authorized to execute acceptances of the nature contemplated
in your inquiry.
Very respectfully,
A l e x J. G r o e s b e c k ,

Attorney General.
TRUST POWERS OF NATIONAL BANKS.

(64)
Hon. Frank W. Merrick, State Banking Commissioner, Lansing, Michigan;

April 25, 1919.

Dear Sir— I have before me your communication o f the 23rd instant wherein you call
attention to Section 1 1 (k) o f the Federal Reserve act, which act authorizes national banks
to exercise the powers o f a trust company in certain cases. You also call attention to certain
rules o f the Federal Reserve Board, and you request to be advised whether or not a national
bank which exercises the functions o f a trust company is required to deposit with the state
treasurer o f this state the securities provided for in the Michigan trust company act. You also
request to be advised whether or not such companies are subject to examination by the state
banking department, as provided for in said act.
In ansvver to your first inquiry, I would respectfully call your attention to the provisions
o f subdivision (k) o f section 2 o f the act o f September 26, 1918, which provides in part as
follow s:
“ Whenever the laws o f a State require corporations acting in a fiduciary capacity, to deposit
securities with the State authorities for the protection o f private or court trust national banks
so acting shall be required to make similar deposits and securities so deposited shall be held
for the protection o f private or court trusts, as provided by the State law.”
You will note from reading the foregoing that a national bank exercising the functions of
a trust company is obliged to deposit with the treasurer o f this state the securities provided
for in the act governing Michigan trust companies.

In answer to your second inquiry, I would respectfully call your attention to subdivision
(k) o f section 2 o f the act o f September 26, 1918, which provides in part as follow s:
“ National banks exercising any or all of the powers enumerated in this subsection shall
segregate all assets held in any fiduciary capacity from the general assets of the bank and
shall keep a separate set of books and records showing in proper detail all transactions en­
gaged in under authority of this sub-section. Such books and records shall be open to inspection
by the State authorities to the same extent as the books and records of corporations organized
under State law which exercise fiduciary powers, but nothing in this Act shall be construed
as authorizing the State authorities to examine the books, records, and assets of the national
bank which are not held in trust under authority of this sub-section.”
You will note from the foregoing that you have the same authority to examine the books
and records of a national bank exercising the functions of a trust company, insofar as the
conduct of its affairs as a trust company is concerned, as is conferred upon you by the statutes
of this state in reference to Michigan trust companies.

May 8, 1919.
Hon. Frank W. Merrick, Commissioner o f Banking, Lansing, Michigan:
Dear Sir— I have before me your communication of the 1 st instant, wherein you call atten­
tion to our letter of the 25th ultimo in reference to the authority conferred upon the state
banking commission by the federal reserve act to examine national banks exercising the
powers o f trust companies, insofar as the conduct o f their affairs pertains to the trust com­
pany business; also in reference to the deposit o f securities by said banks with the State
Treasurer, and request to be advised whether or not in my opinion it is your duty, under
the statutes o f this state, to require this deposit to be made and to conduct an examination
o f the affairs o f these banks exercising the functions of a trust company, as is done in the case
o f trust companies organized under the laws o f this state.
In reply thereto would say that inasmuch as Congress, by appropriate legislation, has placed
these banks exercising the functions of a trust company on the same footing as trust companies
organized under the state law, insofar as the requirements as to deposits and examinations
are concerned, I am of the opinion that to that extent such banks must be regarded as
doing business under the Michigan statute relating to trust companies, and that your duties
in that connection are the same as your duties in relation to trust companies organized under
the laws of this state.

LEGAL ASSIGNMENT OF VENDOR’ S EQUITY.

( 66)

March 2 1 , 1921.

Mr. Joseph Conway, Deputy State Banking Commissioner, Lansing, Michigan:
Dear Sir— We refer to yours o f the 19th instant in which you ask this Department’s opinion
on the following:
“ In the assets of banks under our supervision, we frequently find loans which are secured
by assignments of vendors’ equities in land contracts. The question
on which wewould appre­
ciate your opinion pertains to what may be considered a proper légal assignment of a vendor’s
equity in a land contract as collateral.”
We know of no agreement or arrangement that can be made referring to the vendee’s
contract or the vendor’s equity in a contract that will have the result of placing a lien
upon the property sold by the vendor. Such agreements can be enforced as agreements
and under some
circumstances it probably would be true that an equitable lien against
property involved could be enforced, but this could only be done after a determination
by proper legal procedure. Whenever it is deemed advisable to have the security of the
land itself back of the loan that is made, it is necessary that some conveyance be given
whereby the land becomes security for the loan. This can be done either by deed or
mortgage, and if by deed the same should be recorded as a mortgage. The condition that
exists does not differ in any way from that where a loan is asked by the owner of lands
not subject to land contract. A quit claim deed conveys the same interest as a warranty
deed, the only difference in the two being that in a warranty deed the vendor guarantees
or warrants the title, while no warranty exists with the quit claim deed, but so far as the
interest conveyed it is the same in either instance.
Trust the above opinion gives you the information desired.
Yours very truly,
A. B. Dougherty,

Deputy Attorney General.

BANKS

LIABILITY WHERE DEPOSIT BOXES ARE RENTED TO TWO INDIVIDUALS

(67)
Hon. Hugh McPherson, Lansing, Michigan:

JOINTLY.

June 1 1 , 1921.

Dear Sir—Your letter of recent date received as follows:
“State banks often rent safety deposit boxes to husband and wife, the name of both
appearing as lessees and each having access to the box, where, presumably, each has deposited
their individual papers, and others.
“ The question has arisen, whether a bank, in the case of the death of one or the other
of the lessees, has the right to permit the survivor to have access to the box? We shall appre­
ciate an expression of opinion from you in this regard.


https://fraser.stlouisfed.org

REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER

Ixvii

“ Also, in reference to a question as to the duty o f the bank under section nine of the
Inheritance Tax Law, being Section 14532 o f the Compiled Laws, as amended. This section
seems to require that notice be given to the county treasurer before safety deposit boxes of
deceased persons may be opened. The question has arisen in some banks as to whether they
should deny the right o f the survivor to have access to the box until notice has been given
to the county treasurer, in instances where the box is rented to two persons and the name o f
each appears as a lessee.”
Under the facts as stated in your letter, the death of one of the lessees o f the safety
deposit box would not terminate the right o f the other lessee, unless there has been an agree­
ment to that effect. However, the mere fact that the box had been rented jointly would have
no necessary bearing upon the question o f the title to the contents of the box after the death
of one o f the lesses. Ordinarily, there is no survivorship in personal property in this state
excepting as created by statute. It is true that a species of such survivorship may be created
by making a gift causa mortis.
Johnson v. State Bank, 151 Mich. 538.
Ludwig v. Bruner, 203 Mich. 556.
As to the liability o f the bank under Section 9 o f the Inheritance Tax Law, that would
largely depend upon the fa cts; and most o f all upon what degree o f control the bank retains
over the deposit box. Many banks make a practice o f retaining a key which must be used in
opening the safety deposit box, and where that is the case it would seem that the bank has
sufficient control over the box to bring it within the provisions o f Section 9.
In any event, prudence would dictate that the bank protect itself by notifying the county
treasurer, or by obtaining instructions from the court, before permitting the possible assets
of the decedent from being taken from the box.
Owing to the variety o f circumstances under which these questions may arise, it would
be difficult, if not impossible, to make any ruling that would apply in every case, and I would
prefer to leave the matter that way.
Very truly yours,

LAND CONTRACTS NOT LEGAL INVESTMENTS FOR STATE BANKS.

(68)

J u ly 13, 1021.

Hon. Hugh McPherson, Commissioner of Banking, Lansing, Michigan:
Dear Sir— I have your request of the first instant for an opinion upon the following
proposition:
“ We have several letters from a state bank in which they contend that it is legal for
them to invest their funds in land contracts, purchasing the same from the original vendors
by means o f a warranty deed recorded as a deed only, conveying title to the property sold
under the contract and subject to any prior existing mortgage liens that may be upon the
property. Supporting their contention that this action is legal, they refer to an opinion of
former Attorney General Kuhn, rendered this Department December 7, 1911, and to Supreme
Court decisions mentioned theiein.
“ It has been our position that land contracts do not constitute proper investments for
state banks as contemplated by the banking law. The acceptance of a warranty deed from
the vendor, conveying his interest appears to us to amount to the outright purchase of real
estate, subject to the interest of the vendee. Section 11 of the banking act seems to specifically
prohibit such transactions.
“ Kindly advise as to your opinion as to the legality of investments of this kind.”
In reply thereto would say that I have examined the opinion o f Attorney General Kuhn,
dated December 7, 1911, found on page 197 o f the Attorney General’s Report for 1912, and
it seems to me that this opinion fully sustains the position taken by your department with
reference to land contracts as investments for savings banks, and fails to sustain the position
taken by the bank, to which you refer, that a state bank may purchase for investment the
vendor’s interest in land contracts.
As I understand the position which has for many years been taken by your Department,
a bank may loan money upon the security o f the vendor’s interest in a land contract and
in connection therewith may take by deed the vendor’s title to the land itself by way of
mortgage security, but that where a bank attempts to purchase the vendor’s interest outright
and takes along with such purchase the vendor’s title to the land itself, such a transaction is
not deemed to be within any o f the provisions o f Section 27 o f the General Banking Law.
We do not seem to have any decisions in this state squarely in point and the matter has
heretofore rested upon construction by your Department and this Department. I see no reason
at this time for disagreeing with the opinion o f former Attorney General Kuhn who has stated
the matter very clearly in the opinion first above referred to. In other words, I think you
would be safe in advising the bank in question that the purchase outright o f land contracts
out o f funds o f the bank for pure purposes o f investment or speculation is not permitted by
the banking laws o f the state.
Respectfully yours.

issues script or shares, shall within ninety days after
the passage of
this act,file with
the secretary o f state
a list o f the number o f shares issued by said corporation, and the
names o f the owners thereof and their postoffice addresses, with the number
o f shares
owned by each; and annually thereafter shall file with said secretary o f state during the
months o f January or
February, in each and every year, a statement similar to that above
required, showing the
ownership o f the shares o f said corporation at the day o f the date
o f said statement; all o f which statements, including the first, shall be made by one of
the officers o f said company, under oath, Provided, That corporations which file an annual
report with the Secretary o f State containing a list o f stockholders with the postoffice
addresses and the number o f shares held by each, shall not be required to file a separate list
under this act.” '
Your attention is particularly called to the proviso in this section.
Section 35 o f the General Banking Law provides as follow s:
“ There is hereby established in the state department a separate and distinct bureau which
shall have charge o f the execution o f the laws relating to banks, trust, loan, mortgage security,
or safety deposit companies formed and transacting business under the laws o f this state, to
be designated as the State Banking Department.”
Section 15 o f the banking law requires banks to file lists o f stockholders with the Com­
missioner annually. While it is true that the Banking Department is operated independently
o f the State Department, yet, the provision o f Section 35 quoted above, and which has never
been repealed or modified, distinctly makes the Banking Department a bureau o f the State
Department and, in my opinion, the filing o f a list o f stockholders with the Commissioner is
equivalent to filing the same with the Secretary o f State. It follows, therefore, that banks are
not required to comply with Section 15082.

Hon. Hugh McPherson, State Banking Commissioner, Lansing, Michigan:

June 14, 1922.

Dear Sir—Your recent letter received as follows:
“ In the liquidation o f the affairs o f the ................................. Bank o f ................................. the
question will undoubtedly arise as to the right o f a depositor in the savings department to
offset his loan which may be carried in the commercial department. W e respectfully ask your
opinion as to the rights o f the depositor in such a case and as to the duty o f the receiver.
“ It should be remembered that when a customer deposits money in the bank he determines
for himself whether his deposit shall be a commercial or a savings deposit, but when a customer
negotiates a loan from the bank he is not in position to make such a determination. In the
latter case at least it is customary for the bank to determine for itself whether the customer’s
loan shall be carried as a commercial or a savings asset. Your early advice in this matter
will be appreciated.”
In reply thereto, would state that the right o f set-off in any case results from the relation
o f debtor and creditor as between the bank and its borrowers or depositors. In the absence
o f statute and as applied to private banks in this State, this Department has held that the
right o f set-off exists regardless o f whether the loan was made on the commercial or savings
side o f the bank. Attorney General’s Report for 1913, page 548.
With regard to banks organized under the General Banking Laws, however, I am o f the
opinion that a clear distinction must be made. In Peters v. Unton Trust Company, 131
Mich. 3M, it was held that the securities and deposits in the savings department o f a bank
having both a commercial and savings business must be segregated and held for the benefit
o f the savings depositors. It seems clear from the decision in the above case that securities
fo r loans made out o f the savings deposits could not be surrendered by way o f set-off to a
commercial deposit without at the same time taking from the savings side o f the bank an
asset which belongs to it for the benefit o f its depositors.
In the final liquidation o f a State bank after the savings depositors have been satisfied,
or after their claims have been paid, the remainder o f the assets on the savings side o f the
bank would, o f course, be available for general creditors.
Trusting this makes the matter clear, I am,
V ery truly yours,
M e r l in

Hon. Hugh A. McPherson, State Banking Commissioner, Lansing, Michigan:
Dear Sir— Your letter o f the 23rd instant received as follow s:
“ Section 54 A o f Act 205 o f the Public Acts o f 1887, commonly known as the general
banking law, provides for the consolidation o f state and national banks. W e have before
us the proposition o f the consolidation o f a Michigan national bank. The statute does not
appear to be clear regarding the authority o f the Commissioner o f this Department to prevent
this action by his disapproval. W e will appreciate your opinion regarding the authority o f the
Commissioner to maintain a separation o f the assets o f two institutions, providing that in his
opinion the creditors o f the state bank might be defeated or defrauded by the consolidation.
* * *
In answer to your letter we call your attention to the following provision appearing in
Section 54 A :

lxix

REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER

“ It shall also be the duty o f the Commissioner o f the Banking Department, to cause an
examination o f each bank and no such consolidation shall be made without the consent of
the Commissioner o f the Banking Department, and not then to defeat or defraud any o f the
creditors o f either o f the banks parties to such consolidation.”
Under this provision the State Banking Department has authority to withhold its con­
sent to the consolidation for the protection o f the creditors of the state bank, and, in my
opinion, also for the protection o f the stockholders o f the state bank it may require, and
it is its duty to require an examination to be made o f the national bank as well as the state
bank prior to final action upon the consolidation. In case the national bank should refuse to
permit an examination, then it would be the duty to withhold its consent. In other words,
we are o f the opinion that the statute referred to in your letter gives you all o f the power
and authority necessary to prevent a consolidation until the Commissioner is satisfied that
neither bank, nor the creditors o f either bank, will be harmed by the transaction.
Very truly yours,
A. B. D o u g h e r t y ,

Mr. Harry 0. Mohrmann, Deputy Banking Commissioner, Lansing, Michigan:
Dear Sir— You have requested the opinion o f this department as to whether the obligations
o f a partnership may be considered as the obligations o f the individuals composing such partner­
ship in determining the total o f the liabilities that such person or persons may owe to a bank
under Section 52 o f the General Banking Laws.
Said Section 52 o f the General Banking Laws is Section 8020 of the Compiled Laws o f 1915,
as amended by Act 108 o f the Public Acts o f 1919 and provides that,
“ The total'liabilities to any bank o f any person or o f any company, corporation or firm for
moneys advanced, including in the liabilities of the company or firm the liabilities of the several
members thereof, except special partners, shall at no time exceed one-tenth part of the amount
o f capital and surplus o f such bank, * * * Provided further, That by a two-thirds vote o f
directors, the liabilities to any bank o f any person or company, or corporation or firm may be
increased to a sum not exceeding one-fifth o f the capital and surplus of the bank.”
It cannot be questioned that the individual obligations of all members o f partnerships must
be charged against the line o f credit o f such partnership or firm in determining the total
amount o f money that may be advanced to such partnership or firm and we think that that
portion o f the statute, above italicized, shows a plain legislative intent that the liabilities
o f a partnership or firm shall be considered as the liabilities of each of the individuals com­
posing the partnership or firm, except special partners and therefore the liabilities of a firm
or partnership should be charged against the liabilities o f each of the persons composing such
firm or partnership, except special partners, in determining whether or not the sums advanced
or loaned to such individuals are within the limitations o f said Section 52.
Very respectfully,
A n d r e w B. D o u g h e r t y ,

Attorney General.

HAS BANK AUTHORITY TO PAY TAXES ASSESSED AGAINST THE SHARES OF STOCK?

( 73)
February 18th, 1924.
Honorable H. A. McPherson, State Banking Commissioner, Lansing, Michigan:
Dear Sir—You have recently requested my opinion as to whether or not a bank organized
under the laws o f this state has the authority to pay taxes assessed against the shares of
stock to their respective owners.
Section 4002, C. L. T5, as amended by Act 297, Public Acts of 1921, provides in part:
“ For the purpose o f taxation, personal property shall include * * * all shares in banks
organized within this state under the laws o f this state or the United States at their cash
value, after deducting the assessed value o f real property owned by and assessed to such banks.”
Section 4008, C. L. T5, provides that all shares in banks shall be assessed to their owners
in the township, village or city where the bank is located, provided that the shares owned by a
person residing in the county where the bank is located shall be assessed in the township or
city where he resides. From the foregoing, it is apparent that the shares of stock may be,
in some instances, assessed for taxes in the township, village or city where the bank is located,
and in others be assessed in some township, or city other than that in which the bank is
located. It follows that the rate o f taxation would not be uniform, which would result in the
bank paying a larger amount in taxes per share for some stockholders than for others. The
statute makes no express provision authorizing the bank to pay taxes assessed against the
stock o f its shareholders, and I am therefore o f the opinion that it is without authority to
pay these taxes, should any o f its stockholders object. I am also of the opinion that any stock­
holder could enjoin the bank from paying these taxes.
Respectfully yours,
A n d r e w B. D o u g h e r t y ,

Attorney General.

LIABILITY OF A BANK FOR THE LOSS OF THE

CONTENTS

OF A SAFE DEPOSIT BOX.

( 74)
February 19, 1924.
Hon. Hugh A. McPherson, State Banking Commissioner, Lansing, Michigan:
Dear Sir— You have requested my opinion as to the liability of a bank for the loss o f the
contents o f a safe deposit box rented to a customer fo r a consideration. You further request
to be advised whether or not the bank can limit its liability by special contract.
While the question is an open one in this state, the weight o f authority is to the effect
that when a banking corporation conducts such a business in connection with the general

STATE BANKING DEPARTMENT-

business of banking and receives personal property from individuals for safe-keeping, the general
rule of law is that the bank becomes a bailee and in case of loss is liable as such.
A bailee for hire must exercise the care equal to that to be expected from ordinarily
prudent persons under similar conditions and circumstances in order to relieve him from
liability and whether such care is exercised or not is a question for the determination of
the jury under proper instructions.
As to the right of the bailee to limit his liability by special contract, the parties to the
transaction may make their own contracts in reference to their mutual rights and liabilities
under bailment of property as well as in reference to other subjects and generally speaking,
may, by express contract enlarge, abridge, qualify or supersede the obligations which otherwise
would arise from the bailment by implication of law. To make such a contract valid, the
bailor must have notice that there are special terms and the means of knowing what they
are and if the bailee chooses to make the bailment, he is bound by them, providing the
contract is not in violation of positive law or public policy.
Trusting this will serve to furnish you with the desired information, I am

TO SECURE STATE DEPOSITS.

pledged with the State Treasurer by a bank to secure the repayment of a state
deposit cannot be reclaimed by a receiver for the bank, without redeeming them.
S E C U R IT IE S

October 31, 1924.
Hon. Hoyt Woodman, Deputy State Treasurer, Lansing, Michigan:
Dear Sir— I have your letter in which you state:
“It has been a custom of this department to permit banks wishing state deposits to deposit
collateral with us in the form of Federal, Municipal or other negotiable bonds to secure State
deposit.
“A question has arisen whether or not in event of a failure of such bank we would be
permitted to retain these bonds to secure this deposit, or whether we would be compelled to
turn the bonds over to the receiver of said bank, or take our chances with other depositors.”
Section 289 o f the Compiled Laws o f 1915 requires the State Treasurer:
“ To require of any bank before he shall have made it a depository of surplus funds
belonging to the State, good and ample security, to be approved by the said state treasurer,
the auditor general and the secretary of state, for the safekeeping and reimbursement of such
surplus funds, whenever called for, and the payment of such rate of interest as the state
treasurer, in his discretion, shall deem best for the interest of the state.”
The security pledged with the State Treasurer by a bank, is security for state moneys
deposited with it and the taking of such security would appear to be a compliance with the
requirement of the statute. Unless there is a clear prohibition against so doing, there is no
reason why a bank may not pledge a part of its assets to secure a deposit of state funds and
pledge having been made, it cannot be recovered either by the pledgor or his receiver in the
event of insolvency, except by redeeming it.
“The lien of a valid pledge is undoubtedly preserved in bankruptcy and where a pledge
of property was made in good faith by the bankrupt and for a valuable consideration and not
in violation of the provisions of the bankrupt law, the assignee cannot recover the property
except by redeeming it.”
21 R. C. L. 652.
See also Tiffany, Trustee v. Boatman’s Savings Institution, 21
U. S. (L. Ed.) 868 at Page 971.
Yeatman and Moore, Assignees in Bankruptcy v. New Orleans Savings
Institute, 24 U. S. (L. Ed.) 589 at Page 590.
Hancock v. Varick Bank, 51 U. S. (L. Ed.) 945.
Some states prohibit a bank from pledging any part of its assets to secure loans, but in
Michigan under Section 9002 of the Compiled Laws of 1915, as amended by Act 21 of the
Public Acts of 1919, a bank may pledge
“ Qualified assets of the bank for the purpose of becoming a depository for postal savings
funds, under the laws of the United States or for the purpose of becoming a depository for
surplus funds belonging to the State of Michigan, but no bank transacting a savings business
shall pledge mortgages or bonds which represent any portion of the investments of its savings
deposits.”
Although the doctrine of the common law right of the sovereignty to a preference in the
payment of moneys on deposit is not clearly recognized in this state and may be entirely lost
if a receiver is appointed for it, as declared in
Banking Commissioner v. Chelsea Savings Bank, 161 Mich. 691,
there seems no objection to the state, irrespective of its rights to priority in payment as a
sovereign, to make an ordinary business arrangement to secure the repayment of its moneys
when placed on deposit, and if in compliance with the statute, a pledge of security is properly
taken, the same may be held until redeemed, even as against the receiver for a bank declared
insolvent.

A ndrew B. Dougherty,
