W hile M ichigan h as a t th e p re se n t tim e a good stro n g w orkable b a n k in g act,
I w ould recom m end th e follow ing am en d m en ts in view of th e fo u r y e a rs e x p e ri­

TOT AT, CAPITAL TO BE PAID IN AT ORGANIZATION.

As sta te d in th e p reced in g A n n u al R e p o rt of th e D ep artm en t, in o rd er to

CONSOLIDATION OF NATIONAL BANKS WITH STATE BANKS.

In m y opinion th e p re s e n t law should be so am ended as to provide th e m ean s

STATE FUNDS TO BE DEPOSITED IN STATE BANKS ONLY.

In view of th e p ro v isio n s of th e F e d e ra l R eserve Act, th a t po stal sav in g s fu n d s

a g a in to recom m end a n am en d m en t to th e law p ro v id in g th a t sta te fu n d s be de­

Of la te y ears th e b a n k in g d ep a rtm e n t, in th e eyes of th e public a t least, m u st

such depository.
I can see no reason, th ere fo re , w hy sta te fu n d s should n o t be deposited ex­

In view of th e p ro v isio n s of th e F e d e ra l R eserv e A ct giv in g n a tio n a l b an k s

a n d in ta c t from th e com m ercial an d sav in g s b an k b ran ch es of th e business.
SAFEGUARDING ORGANIZATION OF NEW BANKS.

I feel it m y d u ty to a g a in call y o u r a tte n tio n to th e reco m m en d atio n m ade
in th e D e p a rtm e n t’s A n n u al R e p o rt fo r th e y ear 1911, p e rta in in g to th e o rg a n ­
izatio n of new banks.
A s sta te d a t th a t tim e, th e p rin c ip a l w eakness of th e b a n k in g law s of th e
sev eral states, (a n d M ichigan is no e x cep tio n ), is th e absence of a u th o rity dele­
gated to su p erv iso rs or com m issioners of th e sev eral sta te d e p a rtm e n ts to p re ­
v e n t th e o rg an iza tio n of b an k s by u n d e sira b le p a rtie s, or th o se who a re unfit
alik e from th e sta n d p o in t of c h a ra c te r, financial resp o n sib ility , an d experience.
In M ichigan, a t th e p re se n t tim e, sta te b an k s m ay be o rganized by such p ersons
a n d th e law confers no ex p ress a u th o rity upon th e com m issioner to w ith h o ld a p ­
proval of ap p licatio n to organize or to refu se c h a rte r. I am of th e opinion th a t
it w ould be p refe ra b le to have th is a u th o rity d elegated to a board of com m is­
sioners, ra th e r th a n to an y one official, and w ould, th e re fo re recom m end th a t
A ct 262 of th e law s of 1905, w hich p rovides for th e se c u ritie s com m ission, he
am ended so as to m ak e it th e im p e ra tiv e d u ty of th e com m ission to d eterm in e
th e financial re s p o n sib ility an d sta n d in g of sto ck h o ld ers in a proposed bank, and
to in v e stig a te th e c h a ra c te r an d exp erien ce of th o se who a re to be in activ e
charge, and th e a u th o rity to re fu se to approve a p p licatio n to organize or to re ­
fuse to issu e c h a rte r w h ere in v e stig a tio n is n o t satisfacto ry .
I am also convinced th a t th e se c u ritie s com m ission should have a u th o rity to
exercise its d iscre tio n in th e m a tte r of p assin g upon th e n ecessity of new b an k s
in com m unities a lre a d y h av in g sta te or n a tio n a l b a n k in g facilities. T he p ro ­

In reply th ere to w ill say th a t Section 3 of A rticle XVI of th e revised con­

“S alaries of public officers, except c irc u it judges, sh all n o t be increased, n o r

In d e term in in g th e question su b m itted it is im p o rta n t to a sc e rta in first, w h eth er

on P ublic Officers, Sec. 1.)
A nd he p o in ts o u t tw o e sse n tia ls: F irs t, T he delegation of sovereign fu n c ­

In section 9 he sta te s:
“A ny m an is a p ublic officer who h a th an y d u ty co n cern in g th e public, and
he is n o t th e less a p ublic officer w h ere h is a u th o rity is confined to n a rro w

Section 38 of th e B a n k in g L aw p rovides for th e a p p o in tm e n t of b an k ex am in ers,
fixes th e ir sa la rie s and re q u ire s th e m to file a bond of te n th o u sa n d dollars.

■ “W henever it shall ap p ear from th e re p o rt of a n y bank, or th e com m issioner
shall have reason to believe th a t th e cap ital of any b an k is im p aired or reduced
below the am o u n t req u ired by law , it sh all be th e d u ty of th e com m issioner and
he shall have th e pow er to ex am ine th e said b an k and a sc e rta in th e facts, and
in case he finds such im p a irm e n t or red u ctio n of capital, he sh all req u ire such
b ank to m ake good th e deficiency so a p p earin g w ith in six ty days a fte r th e date
of such requisition. The d irecto rs of every such b an k upon w hich such re q u isi­
tion shall h ave been m ade sh all levy an assessm en t upon th e stock th ereo f to
re p a ir such deficiency, and sh all cause notice of such req u isitio n to be given
to each stockholder of th e h an k an d of th e am o u n t of th e assessm en t w hich he
m u st pay for th e purpose of m ak in g good such deficiency, by a w ritte n or p rin te d
notice m ailed to such stockholder a t h is last know n place of residence or served
p erso n ally upon h im .”
These tw o sections a re p lain ly in ten d ed to subserve e n tire ly d ifferen t p u r­
poses. Section 46 re fe rs only to cases w here th e b an k is in process of liq u id a­
tio n and lim its th e a m o u n t of th e assessm en t w hich m ay he m ade upon th e
stockholders for th a t purpose to 100 p er cent. Section 42, above quoted, is for
th e purpose of p re v e n tin g th e b an k from going in to liq u id atio n and m a in ta in ­
ing it as a going concern. The lan g u ag e used is e q u iv alen t to say in g to the
stockholders, “The cap ital of your b an k is im p aired , you m u st m ake it good or
it w ill be obliged to go in to liq u id atio n a t th e h an d s of a receiv er.”
It is our view th a t th e tw o sections have no re la tio n to each o th er and th a t
u n d er Section 42 of A ct 1 of th e P ublic A cts of 1911, th e C om m issioner h as a
rig h t to o rd er th e h an k to m ake good an im p a irm e n t of an y am o u n t, w h e th e r
less th a n or in excess of 100 p er cent. I am also of th e opinion th a t in case an
assessm ent had been levied p u rs u a n t to Section 42 to m ake good an im p a ir­
m ent, a fu rth e r assessm en t or assessm en ts could be m ade to m eet fu tu re c o n tin ­
gencies. I am fu rth e r of th e opinion th a t p ay m en t by stockholders of assess­
m ents u nder Section 42 w ould in no w ay lessen th e ir lia b ility to an assessm ent
by th e receiver in case of th e liq u id atio n or insolvency of th e bank.

Section 9 of th e act m akes it th e d u ty of th e A tto rn ey G eneral to see th a t
such rep o rts are pro p erly m ade a t th e p roper tim e and m an n er, and if th ey

such person or corporation, to compel a full, com plete an d tr u th fu l sta te m e n t
re g a rd in g th e m a tte rs req u ired to be contained in th e rep o rts.
It is claim ed th a t re p o rts of th is c h a ra c te r can n ot be re q u ired of n a tio n a l banks,
by reason of th e provisions of Section 5241, R evised S ta tu te s of th e U nited
States, w hich form s a p a rt of th e n a tio n a l b a n k in g act, and is as follow s:
“No association sh all be su b ject to an y v is ito ria l pow er o th e r th a n a re a u th ­
orized by th is title , or are vested in th e co u rts of ju stic e .”
The scope of th is provision of th e act of C ongress is discussed by the* S uprem e
C ourt of th e U nited S tates in th e case of G u th rie v. H ark n e ss, 199 U. S. 148,
w here Mr. Ju stice Day, a fte r re fe rrin g to th is provision of th e n a tio n a l b a n k in g
act, and th e definition of th e te rm “v isito ria l pow ers” said:
“The rig h t of v isita tio n bein g a public rig h t ex istin g in th e S tate for th e
purpose of exam inin g in to th e conduct of th e co rp o ratio n w ith a view to keep­
ing it w ith in its legal pow ers, C ongress had in m ind in p assin g th is section
th a t in o th er sections of th e law it h ad m ade fu ll and com plete p rovision fo r

him , and au th o riz in g th e ap p o in tm e n t of a receiver, to ta k e possession of th e

tio n th a t th is s ta tu te should co n tain a fu ll code of provisions upon th e sub­
ject, and th a t no S tate law or en actm en t should u n d e rta k e to exercise th e rig h t
of v isita tio n over a n a tio n a l corporation. E x cep t in so fa r as such corpora­
tio n w as liable to co ntrol in th e co u rts of ju stice, th is ac t w as to be th e fu ll
m easu re of v is ito ria l pow er.”
In view of th is provision of th e n a tio n a l b a n k in g ac t as th u s co n stru ed by
th e Suprem e C ourt of th e U nited S tates, I am inclined to th e opinion th a t th e

re la te s to rep o rts of escheated deposits by banks, should be co n stru ed as n o t
applying to n a tio n a l banks.

th e 1ru st, D eposit and S ecu rity Com pany Law, we w ould ap p reciate y our opinion
a s to w h eth er or n o t a tr u s t com pany h as th e rig h t to issue certificates of
d e p o sit; and w h eth er or no t such certificates of deposit m u st he re stric te d as
evidencing th e receip t of m oney in tru st.
Also advise w h eth er or n o t a tr u s t com pany can issue its certificates of
dep o sit for m oney received in an y o th er m a n n e r th a n in tr u s t.”
I he specific in q u iry is, w h eth er a tr u s t com pany in M ichigan can receive m oneys
o th e rw ise th a n in tr u s t and issue certificates of deposit as evidence thereof.
All a u th o rity w hich a tr u s t com pany possesses m u st be conferred upon it by
lav/. As in th e case of an y o th e r corporation, th e -act of inco rp o ratio n w hich
c o n stitu te s th e c h a rte r is th e m easu re of its pow ers. U nless th a t c h a rte r (w ith
o th e r sta tu te s of th e S tate, w hich m ay pro p erly be term ed a p a rt of th e c h a r­
te r ) confers th e au th o rity , th e tr u s t com pany does n o t possess it.
T he law for th e in co rp o ratio n of tr u s t com panies in M ichigan is Act No. 108
of th e P ublic Acts of 1889, bein g Sections 6156 to 6189 (C. L. 1897) inclusive.
U nder th e te rm s of th is act, a tr u s t com pany possesses th e specific a u th o rity :
(a ) To act in v ario u s capacities as a tru ste e .
(b) To act as and to conduct a depository for th e safe keep in g of c e rta in
p erso n al p ro p erty an d th e re n tin g of safety deposit receptacles, and
(c) To act as su re ty an d g u a ra n to r u n d er c e rta in circum stances.
In ad d itio n to th ese specific a u th o ritie s, Section 9 of said act confers upon
th e tr u s t com panies organized th e re u n d e r th e follow ing a u th o rity :
‘‘A ny corporation organized u n d er th is act sh all have pow er in and by its
co rp o rate nam e to tak e, receive, an d hold, an d repay, reconvey a n d dispose of
a n y effects and p ro p erty , both re a l an d p ersonal, w hich m ay be g ran ted , com ­
m itted , tra n s fe rre d or conveyed to it w ith its consent, upon an y te rm s.”
The language la s t above quoted, is sufficient to confer upon tr u s t com panies
th e a u th o rity to receive m oney on deposit an d as in c id e n t to th a t a u th o rity
th e r e w ould exist th e rig h t to issu e notes, certificates or o th e r evidences of th e
indebtedness or re la tio n th e re b y created.
T h is g eneral language, how ever, is lim ited by th e exception contained la te r
in th e sam e section (S ection 9) w hich is:
“B u t n o th in g h e re in co n tain ed sh all be co n stru ed as giv in g th e rig h t to issue
bills to circu late as m oney, or buy or sell b an k exchange, or do a general b a n k ­
in g b u siness.”
I t m ay be tak en for g ra n te d th a t th e issuance of certificates of deposit is n o t
th e issu in g of bills to circu late as m oney or bu y in g or se llin g of exchange; th e
q uestion th erefo re resolves itse lf into w h eth er th e issu in g of such certificates
i s doing a general b a n k in g business as to be w ith in th e lim ita tio n upon th e
p o w ers of tr u s t com panies an d th u s beyond th e ir au th o rity .
T he g en eral stru c tu re of th e ac t in q uestion in d icates th a t th e a u th o rity of
tr u s t com panies in receiv in g effects and p ro p e rty is n o t to be lim ited to th e
re c e ip t of those w hich it receives an d holds as tru ste e . I t is u n n ecessary to
p o in t out all of th e provisions of th e ac t w hich lead to th is conclusion: I t is
sufficient to refer to th e g en eral provision above quoted (S ection 9) w hich w as
u n n ecessary if th e a u th o rity of th e corp o ratio n w as to be lim ited to th e ta k in g
a n d receiving of effects and p ro p e rty (w h ich w ould include m oney) to be held
in tru s t, as, fu ll a u th o rity is, by o th e r provisions of th e act, conferred upon
¿the com pany to act as tru ste e . T h is conclusion is fu rth e r borne o u t by th e
-state of th e law and th e changes m ade th e re in th e passages of said A ct No.
108 of th e P ublic Acts of 1889. P rev io u s to th e passage of th a t act, th e act
fo r th e inco rp o ratio n of tr u s t com panies bein g section 3237 an d 3251 (H ow ell’s
S ta tu te s ) inclusive, conferred q u ite fu ll a u th o rity upon tr u s t com panies to act
as tru ste e s for an y law fu l purpose and th e extension of th e ir a u th o rity , by
th e use of languag e designed to include o th er th a n pow ers of tru ste e sh ip , in ­
d icates a purpose to so en larg e th e pow ers p e rm itte d to be exercised by tr u s t
com panies as to go beyond th e u su al fu n ctio n s of a tru ste e an d to p e rm it th em
to receive effects and p ro p erty upon o th er te rm s th a n as tru ste e , and in fact,

in th e receiving of deposits and issu in g certificates th erefo r, a tr u s t com pany
w ould be doing “a general b a n k in g busin ess.”
U nquestionably, th e receiv in g of deposits and th e issu in g of certificates th e re ­
for, is one of th e m any fu n ctio n s o rd in a rily and u su ally perform ed by a bank,
b u t it does n o t ap p ear th a t such fu n ctio n h as been exercised alone by banks,
or th a t it is such as to be in sep arab le from th e b a n k in g business, or th a t its
exercise w ould fix the d iv id in g lin e betw een being a b an k or not, or betw een
exercising^ or n o t ex ercisin g “gen eral b a n k in g busin ess.”
In th e inception an d g row th of th e b a n k in g business th e re have been th re e
types of ban k s—b an k s of issue, b an k s of deposit an d b an k s of discount. The
m odern b a n k in g in stitu tio n , how ever, u su ally com bines tw o or m ore of these
a u th o ritie s and h as m an y ram ifications in th e p lan and m ethod of c a rry in g out
its functions. The gen eral b a n k in g a u th o rity is exercised in M ic h ig a n ,‘by "state
b an k s a t least, w ill be best described in th e language of th e G eneral B a n k in g
L aw (S ection 4, 6093, C. L. 1897) w hich a u th o rizes:
“All such pow ers as sh a ll be n ecessary to c a rry on th e business of b a n k in g
by disco u n tin g and n e g o tia tin g pro m isso ry notes, d rafts, bills of exchange or
o th e r evidences of debts, by receiving deposits, by b u y in g and sellin g exchange,
coin and bullion, a n d by lo an in g m oney on perso n al an d re a l se c u rity as pro­
vided h e re in a fte r.”
If a tr u s t com pany sought to exercise all or a p rin c ip a l p a rt of th e a u th o ritie s
above conferred upon banks, or even a single one of th e im p o rta n t fu n ctio n s
u su ally exercised only by banks, it w ould be w ith in th e in h ib itio n of th e sta tu te .
The exercise, how ever, of a single a u th o rity w hich a b an k in th e course of its
business exercises b u t w hich is open to o th ers th a n bankers, nam ely, th e b o r­
row ing of m oney an d issu in g an evidence of th e debt, w ould n o t c o n stitu te th e
doing of a general b a n k in g business. To do a g en eral b a n k in g business, a tr u s t
com pany m u st exercise those fu n ctio n s w hich a re p rim a rily b a n k in g fu n ctio n s and
w hich fix th e ch a ra c te r of th e in s titu tio n doing th em as a bank. A tr u s t com ­
pany does n o t receive m oney in th e sam e m an n er and in th e sam e re la tio n th a t
a b ank receives it. A tr u s t com pany receives th e m oney w hich th e depositor
places w ith it as a tr u s t com pany and n o t otherw ise. T his is th e only pow er
th a t is given to such com pany to receive m oney. It is n o t in co rp o rated as a
bank, nor au th o rized as a bank, to receive m oney, b u t as a tr u s t com pany. And
h av in g received said m oney as a tr u s t com pany, th e only im plied a u th o rity th a t
such tr u s t com pany w ould h a re to re p ay it would be to rep ay it as a tr u s t com ­
pany and not as a bank. W hen a deposit is m ade in a bank, no u n d e rsta n d in g ,
no contract, no arra n g e m e n t, n o th in g is n ecessary to a u th o rize th e depositor to
d raw h is check on such b an k an d such b a n k is by o p eratio n of law alone com ­
pelled to honor such check. W ith o u t th is c h a ra c te ristic no in s titu tio n is u su a l­
ly a ban k ; w ith it, any in s titu tio n is doing a b a n k in g business.
In Corwin v. The Urhana and Champaign Mutual Insurance Company (14 Ohio
6) th e c h a rte r contained a provision p ro h ib itin g th e ex ercisin g of b a n k in g pow ers
and it w as held th a t th e receiv in g of deposits w as n o t w ith in th e p ro h ib itio n
a g a in s t banking. I t did, how ever, ap p ear th a t certificates of deposit w ere n o t
issued. T he C o u rt th e re said :
“ It does n o t ap p ear to us th is finding is w ith in th e p ro h ib itio n a g a in st b a n k ­

individual, m ay engage; and it is w ell said by th e d efen d an t th a t, alth o u g h re ­
ceiving deposits is a p a rt of th e bu sin ess of banks, it is no exclusive privilege
of theirs, nor is th e d isco u n tin g of notes.”

The p ra ctical co n stru ctio n w hich h as been given to th e sta tu te in question

p ractice has been followed w ith o u t successful opposition or objection, fro m th e
passage of th e act in 1889, u n til th e p re se n t tim e. W here th e language of th e
act is doubtful, th e long continued p ractice u n d e r it is often p e rm itte d to tu rn
th e scale in fav o r of th e co n stru ctio n evidenced by th e p ractice u n d er it, and
th is, we th in k , is an influence to be considered in d e te rm in in g th a t tr u s t com ­

In o th er states, it h as been quite comm on to confer upon tr u s t com panies th e
a u th o rity to receive deposits a n d to issue certificates th ereo n , and a t least tw entyth re e of th e sta te s have such provisions. T h ere is evidently, th ere fo re , n o th in g
in co n sisten t in th e idea of tr u s t com panies receiv in g m oney on deposit fo r safe

There, h as been some q uestion as to w h eth er a dem and certificate could be given,

Hon. A lb ert E. M anning, D eputy C om m issioner of B an k in g D ep artm en t, L an sin g ,
M ich ig an :
D ear S ir— I am in receip t of y o u r com m unication of D ecem ber 30th enclosing

th a t such by-law m ay provide for th e filling of an y vacancy on said board a ris ­
in g th ro u g h a fa ilu re to elect a t th e re g u la r a n n u al m eetin g or th ro u g h th e
death, resig n atio n or incap acity of an y d irecto r duly elected. You w ish to know
w h eth er or n o t such a n am en d m en t w ill be legal.
Section 4 of th e old b a n k in g law (S ection 2185 of th e L aw s of 1871) u n d er

Section 12 of th e p resen t law (S ection 6101, Com piled L aw s of 1897 as am en d ­

of n o t less th a n five d irecto rs who sh all be elected by th e sto ck h o ld ers.”
As the certificate filed by th e W ayne C ounty S avings B ank u n d e r section 60

is now governed by th e provisions above se t fo rth w ith referen ce to th e n u m b er

lim ita tio n s as to the n u m b er of d irecto rs, except th a t there' can n o t be less th a n

holders in Ja n u a ry , and if “for an y cause an election is n o t had a t th a t m eetin g
it m ay be had as a sub seq u en t m eetin g called fo r th a t purpose.” V acancies in
th e hoard of directo rs sh all be filled by th e hoard, b u t I am of th e opinion th a t
th is does n o t m ean such vacancies as are created by fa ilu re of th e stockholders
to elect a t an an n u al m eeting.
The proposed am en d m en t to th e o rig in al artic le s of th e W ayne C ounty Savings
B ank, above referred to, provides fo r th e election of a hoard of d irecto rs a t th e
reg u lar an n u al m eetin g in Ja n u a ry , provides th a t the n u m b er of d irecto rs to

and provides fu r th e r th a t said by-law m ay provide for th e filling of an y vacancy
on th e B oard a risin g th ro u g h a fa ilu re to elect a t th e re g u la r a n n u a l m eeting,
or th ro u g h th e death, re s ig n a tio n or in cap acity of an y d irecto r duly elected.
None of these provisions, except th e one re la tin g to th e filling of a vacancy on
th e board caused by fa ilu re to elect a t an a n n u a l m eeting, is in co n siste n t w ith
th e provisions of th e p re se n t b a n k in g law, an d it w ould th e re fo re he e n tire ly
proper and legal to in co rp o rate th em in to th e o rig in al artic le s by th e proposed

in g of a vacancy on th e hoard caused by fa ilu re to elect a t th e a n n u a l m eetin g
is in c o n sisten t w ith th e te rm s of section 21 of th e p re se n t b a n k in g law above
set fo rth , and such provisions w ould th e re fo re be illegal. As herein b efo re stated ,
a vacancy caused by th e fa ilu re to elect a t an a n n u a l m eetin g is n o t such a
vacancy as can he filled by th e hoard of d irecto rs itself.
I t m ay be suggested th a t th e provisions w hich can be in co rp o rated in to the

In reply th ereto w ould sta te th a t th e language of th e A ct in q uestion is som e­

STATE BANKS CONTEMPLATED IN CITIES OR VILLAGES ONLY.

May 10, 1913.
H on A lbert E M anning, D eputy C om m issioner of B anking, C apitol, L an sin g :
D ear S ir— I have y our co m m unication of May 1st in w hich you sta te th a t you
a re in receip t of an ap p licatio n to organize a sta te b an k w ith its office and place
of business to be located in “th e tow nship of S pringw ells,” C ounty of W ayne and
S tate of M ichigan, w ith a cap ital of $25,000.00. You ask :
F irs t. Can th e D e p artm en t legally accept th e a rtic le s of in co rp o ratio n w ith
th e location designated, a n d bu sin ess to be c arried on, as in a tow n sh ip ra th e r
th a n in a city or v illage?
Second. If so, w h a t co n stru ctio n on th e law can be placed w ith reference to
th e cap ital stock re q u irem en ts?
T hird. In o th er w ords, w ould th e cap ita l stock be based upon th e p o pulation
of th e tow nship as a whole (in clu siv e, of course, of in co rp o rated -cities and v il­
la g es), or w ould th e cap ital stock be based upon th e p o pulation of th e settlem en t,
or com m unity, in w hich th e b an k ac tu a lly tra n sa c ts b u sin ess?”
In answ er to your first in q u iry , w ould say th a t section 1 of th e G eneral B an k ­
in g L aw seem s to recognize only cities and villages as th e place w here a b a n k in g
b u siness m ay be conducted. W e have, how ever, held th a t a b an k m ay be estab ­
lished in an u n in co rp o rated village. (See A tto rn ey G en eral’s R ep o rt for 1905,
page 98.)
.
. . . . .
Section 2 of th e G eneral B an k in g Act req u ires th e persons asso ciatin g to exe­
cute articles of inco rp o ratio n w hich sh all specify: “2nd. T he county and city
or village w here such b an k is to be located and to conduct its business.
I t is
m y opinion th a t it w as clearly th e in te n t of th e le g isla tu re to lim it th e place
w h ere a b an k in g business m ay be conducted to e ith e r a city or v illag e (in c lu d ­
ing u n in co rp o rated v illag es) and th a t y our d e p a rtm e n t would have no a u th o rity
to accept a n applicatio n w hich show s upon its face th a t th e place of b u sin ess
is a designated “to w n sh ip ” ra th e r th a n a city or village.
In answ er to your second and th ird in q u iries, w ould say if a b a n k is e stab ­
lished in an inco rp o rated village th e am o u n t fo r w hich it m ay be capitalized
depends upon th e p o p u latio n of th e village. T he sam e ru le is applicable in th e case
of an unin co rp o rated village. I have h ereto fo re held th a t w here a sta te b an x
is authorized to do business w ith in an u n in co rp o rated village, th a t it cannot
legally establish a b ran ch agency outside of such u n in co rp o rated village and
in an o th e r se ttle m e n t or u n in co rp o rated village.
(See opinion to H on. E. H.
Doyle, B an k in g C om m issioner, u n d er d ate of F e b ru a ry 17, 1913.)
I t is th e re fo re m y opinion th a t th e cap ital stock in th e case you su g g est w ould
be based upon th e populatio n of th e settlem en t, com m unity or village, inco rp o r­
ated or otherw ise, in w hich th e b an k is actu a lly a u th o rized to tra n s a c t business.

In o th e r w ords, w h eth er services ren d ered in such em ploym ent
previous to th e tim e th a t th e am en d m en t took effect can he considered in de­

The clause th a t is in question read s as follow s:
“S alaries of th e ex am in ers sh all be in th e sum of $1,700.00 p er an u m d u rin g
th e first y ear of th e ir em ploym ent as such, and sh all be in creased n o t to exceed

"which sum sh all be th e ir a n n u a l s a la ry th e re a fte r.”

Hon. E. H. Doyle, C om m issioner of B anking, C apitol, L an sin g :
D ear S ir— I have y our com m unication of S eptem ber 11th, w hich reads as fo l­
low s:
“We resp ectfu lly req u est your opinion as to w h e th e r o r not, in case of an

In reply th ereto ,
of th e im p airm en t

la tin g to banking,

w ould say th e m a tte r of m ak in g good a deficiency as a re s u lt
of cap ita l stock in a b an k seem s to be governed by section
Law, being com piler’s section 52 of th e p am p h let of law s re ­
rev isio n of 1911. T h is section provides in p a rt th a t:

“W henever it shall ap p ear from th e re p o rt of a n y bank, or th e C om m issioner
sh a ll have reason to believe th a t th e cap ital stock of any b an k is im p aired or

q u ire such b an k to m ake good th e deficiency so a p p e a rin g w ith in six ty days a fte r
th e d ate of such req u isitio n .”
The sam e section m akes it th e d u ty of th e d irecto rs of th e b an k upon such
req u isitio n to levy th e necessary assessm en t and p rescrib e th e m ethod fo r th e

LOANS TO MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS LIMITED TO TWENTY PER CENT OF CAPITAL AND
SURPLUS.

N ovem ber 24, 1913.
Hon. E. H. Doyle, C om m issioner of B anking, C apitol, L an sin g :
D ear S ir— I have your com m unication of N ovem ber 19th, d ire c tin g a tte n tio n
to Sections 27 and 52 of th e B an k in g Law. Y our le tte r reads, in p a rt, as fol­
lows:
“The la tte r provides th a t a loan to an y person, firm or corporation, shall not
exceed tw en ty per cent, of cap ital and su rp lu s; and th e n only upon th e twoth ird s au th o rizatio n of th e board of d irectors. U nder said section wre desire to
be inform ed w h eth er or n o t a m u n icip al corp o ratio n can borrow on its note,
signed by proper officials, an a m o u n t in excess of tw en ty per cent, of capital
and surplus. It is m a in ta in e d upon th e p a rt of som e ban k s th a t th e lim ita tio n
in said section does n o t apply to loans to m unicip al co rp o ratio n s; th a t such loans
are in th e n a tu re of a public debt, as m entioned in subdivision (b ), section 27
of th e law , and th ereb y are subject to such lim ita tio n s.”
In reply th ereto w ould say it is believed th a t th e ban k s re fe rre d to in your
le tte r a re placing an erroneous c o n stru ctio n upon th e sta tu te . Section 52 p ro ­
vides in p a rt:
“The to ta l liab ilitie s to an y b an k of any person or of an y com pany, co rp o ra­
tio n or firm for m oneys advanced, in clu d in g th e lia b ilitie s of th e com pany or
firm, th e lia b ilitie s of th e several m em bers th e re o f except special p a rtn e rs, sh all
a t no tim e exceed one-tenth p a rt of th e a m o u n t of th e cap ital an d su rp lu s of
such bank, etc.”
The sam e section a u th o rizes a loan of n o t to exceed tw en ty per cent, cap ital
and su rp lu s upon th e a u th o riz a tio n of tw o -th ird s of th e board of directors.
Section 37 refers to e n tire ly d ifferent m atter. T his section prescribes a d irec­
tion concerning deposits or in v estm en ts, w hile Section 52 p rescrib es a lim ita tio n
on loans w hich m ay be made.
W edem eyer v. H in d elan g , 161 Mich. 600 (603).
In th e absence of express a u th o rity a u th o riz in g a g re a te r loan to a m u nicipal
corporation th a n to an y o th e r person, firm or corporation, no good reason suggests
itse lf to m e re q u irin g th e applicatio n of a d ifferen t rule. In stan ces m ig h t a rise
w hen it m ig h t lie h azard o u s to a b an k to overstep th is lim it in m ak in g loans to
a m unicipal corpo ratio n as to an y o th er corporation.
I t is m y opinion th a t a m un icip al corp o ratio n is bound by th e s tric t te rm s of
section 52, and th a t th e b an k h as no a u th o rity to loan m oney to a m unicip al
corporation on a note signed by th e p roper officials in an am o u n t in excess of
tw en ty per cent, of th e cap ital and su rp lu s.

STATE BANKS HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO INVEST IN CAPITAL STOCK OF FEDERAL RESERVE
BANKS.

J a n u a ry 6, 1914.
H onorable E d w ard H. Doyle, B an k in g C om m issioner, L an sin g , M ichigan:
D ear S ir— I have y our com m unication of th e 29th u lt., as follow s:
“We resp ectfu lly req u est yo u r opinion as to w h e th e r or n o t a sta te b an k in
M ichigan can invest in th e cap ital stock of reg io n al banks as provided for in w h at
is know n as the new cu rren cy law. We w ould re fe r you resp ectfu lly to C om piler’s
Sections 6113, 6115 an d 6116.”
In reply thereto, I w ish to advise as follow s:
The title to th e F e d e ra l R eserve Act, recen tly passed by C ongress, in d icates
its gen eral scope and purpose, and read s as follow s:
“A n A ct to provide for th e e stab lish m en t of F ed e ra l R eserve B anks, to fu rn ish
an elastic currency, to afford m eans of re-d isco u n tin g com m ercial paper, to estab ­
lish a m ore effective superv isio n of b a n k in g in th e U nited S tates, and for o th e r
purposes.”
The A ct has undoubtedly been passed by C ongress w ith a view to co rrectin g
c e rta in conditions in cu rren cy d istrib u tio n and in th e n a tio n a l b a n k in g business
w ith in th e U nited States. I t has for its m ain fe a tu re s th e follow ing: (F ir s t) The
creatio n of F ed eral R eserve D istric ts;
(Second) The creatio n of F ed eral R e­
serve B anks;
(T h ird ) T he creatio n of a F ed eral R eserve B oard;
(F o u rth )
The creatio n of a F ed eral A dvisory C ounsel; (F ifth ) The a u th o riz a tio n of a d d i­

L aw ; (S ev en th ) In d ire c tly b rin g in g sta te banks u n d er th e control of th e Comp­
tro lle r of th e T re a su ry an d o th e r F ed eral powers.
In c a rry in g out th e gen eral schem e of th e Act w h a t are know n as “F ed eral
R eserve B an k s” are auth o rized . These b an k s a re to be located in F e d e ra l R e­
serve d is tric ts and w ill n u m b er not less th a n eig h t and no m ore th a n tw elve, or one
fo r each d is tric t created. The F e d e ra l R eserve B anks w ill no t be o rd in a ry banks
of deposit, b u t w ill be w h a t m ig h t be term ed “B a n k e rs’ b an k s.” T hese banks
w ill be corporations h av in g a g en eral schem e of o rg an izatio n sim ila r to o th e r
b an k in g corporations and h av in g all th e o rd in a ry pow ers of corporations, w ith
such lim ita tio n s and re stric tio n s on th e ir pow ers and purposes as w ill b rin g th em
w ith in th e in te n t of th e law. T he cap ital stock fo r in stan ce m ay only be held
by (F ir s t) N ational B an k s; (Second) S tate B an k s; (T h ird ) T ru s t C om panies;
(F o u rth ) In d iv id u als;
(F ifth ) The U nited S tates. T he la s t tw o can only hold
stock on th e fa ilu re of th e first th re e classes of stock h o ld ers to ta k e up th e
n ecessary stock subscrip tio n of th e fo u r m illion d ollars as a m inim um .
The featu re of th is law w hich we have u n d er co n sid eratio n is th a t applying
to S tate B anks. The question involved is w h eth er S tate B anks of th e S tate of
M ichigan m ay become “m em ber b a n k s” in a F ed eral R eserve B ank. The Act
p erm its S tate B anks to become m em bers, giv in g th em all th e rig h ts and pow ers
of stockholders to th e sam e ex ten t as is given to N atio n al Banks.
T he p a rtic u la r featu res of th is Act w hich m u st be considered in d e te rm in in g
th e in q u iry are as follow s:
1st. Section 2 of th e Act provides in p a rt as follow s: “The share-h o ld ers of
every R eserve B ank sh all be held in d iv id u ally responsible, equally and ratab ly ,
and not one for ano th er, for all con tracts, debts and engagem ents of such bank
to the ex ten t of th e am o u n t of th e ir su b scrip tio n to such stock a t th e p a r value
th ereo f in ad d itio n to th e a m o u n t subscribed, w h eth er such su b scrip tio n s have
been paid up in whole or in p a rt, u n d er th e provisions of th is A ct.”
2nd. Section 5 provides in p a rt as follow s: “A b ank app ly in g for stock in
a F ed eral R eserve B ank a t an y tim e a fte r th e o rg an izatio n th ereo f m u st sub­
scribe for an am oun t of th e cap ital stock of th e F ed e ra l R eserve B ank equal to

pay in g th e re fo r its p a r value, plus one-half of one per centum a m o n th from th e

to loan m oney on p erso n al secu rity , a b an k m ay, in th e u su al course of doing

T his reaso n in g applies as w ell to S tate B anks as to N atio n al B anks, as will
be seen by a review of th e a u th o ritie s in th e cases above cited.
I t m ay be argued, how ever, th a t th e F ed eral R eserve B anks do n o t come w ith in
th a t class of corporations in w hich N atio n al an d S tate B anks are p ro h ib ited from

b u t on th e oth er hand, a re public corporations. F ro m m y re a d in g of th e F ed eral

opinion th a t th e b an k s so created an d au th o rized u n d er th is A ct differ only from

T his question is involved in th e first question, in asm u ch as u n d e r th e F e d ­

th a t S tate B anks u n d er th e M ichigan B an k in g L aw cannot be p erm itte d to th u s
assum e th e lia b ilitie s of a n o th e r bank, n o r can th e y th e re fo re assum e th e lia b il­

given by th e 44th Section of th e B ank A ct of C ongress (13 S tat. L. 112). The
pow er th ere conferred w as am ple, and its v a lid ity c an n o t be doubted. The Act
is sile n t as to any a sse n t or perm issio n by th e state. It w as as com petent for
Congress to au th o rize th e tra n sm u ta tio n as to c re a te such in s titu tio n s o rig in ally .”
T he tw o propositions, how ever, it seem s to me a re clearly d istin g u ish ab le.
The rig h t of th e sta te to create and re g u la te co rporations does n o t extend to the
rig h t to p ro h ib it such corp o ratio n s fro m v o lu n ta ry dissolution. A sta te b a n k ­
in g corporation m ay dissolve itself and cease to exist, and beyond th e rig h t of
th e sta te to compel a b ank to p ro p erly liq u id ate, it can n o t concern itse lf in th e
d eterm in atio n of th e in co rp o rato rs and stock h o ld ers of th e b an k to cease to exist.
Hence, a sta te bank, w ith o u t th e consent of th e sta te , m ay cease to e x ist and
th e in co rp o rato rs an d stockholders m ay by p roper action con v ert th e b an k in to
a N atio n al B ank. B u t it is necessary th a t a S tate B ank in o rd er to be converted
in to a N atio n al B ank should have th e consent an d perm issio n of th e U nited
States. T his, it seem s to me is all th a t is m ean t by th e opinion in Casey v.
Galli.
H ow ever, the rig h t of a sta te to control its co rp o ratio n s (a n d th is includes
b an k in g c o rp o ratio n s), and to say w h a t th ey m ay do and m ay n o t do, is abso­
lutely conceded by th e decisions of th e U nited S ta te s S uprem e C ourt, su p ra. The
S tate of M ichigan has seen fit to lim it its banks in th e use of th e ir corporate
funds and th is lim ita tio n can n o t be e n larg ed by th e law s of th e U nited States.
The F ederal R eserve Act, as to S tate B anks, is p u rely perm issive. It has le ft th e
w ay open for S tate B anks to e n te r in to th e system , b u t no a tte m p t is th e re in
m ade to supersede th e law s of an y sta te as to th e b a n k in g business.
In conclusion, I am
of th e opinion th a t b an k s organized u n d e r th e law s of
th is sta te have no a u th o rity to accept th e provisions of th e F e d e ra l R eserve Act.

STA TE BANKING D EPA R TM EN T.

Com pany and th e .......... . . . Com pany, p a rtie s of th e first p a rt, an d .........................,
p a rty of the second p a rt. I assum e th a t th e lessee’s rig h ts have been assigned
to th e bank. U nder th e te rm s of th is lease, w hich ru n s fo r 99 years, th e lessee
is required to pay $20,000.00 a y ear g round re n t fo r th e first te n years, and
$25,000.00 a y ear th e re a fte r. The lessee also agrees to c o n stru ct on p a rt of th e
ground a b u ild in g of n o t less value th a n $50,000.00. P erm issio n is also given
in th e lease by w hich th e lessee m ay co n stru c t a b u ild in g of n o t less th a n
$100,000.00, to ta k e th e place of an y b u ild in g s now o r h e re a fte r constructed. T he
lease contains th e u su a l provisions for fo rfe itu re and se c u rity for perform ance
and provides in case of fo rfe itu re before th e end of th e te rm and also upon the
te rm in a tio n of th e lease by ex p ira tio n of tim e, all th e b u ild in g s erected by th e
lessee sh all become th e p ro p e rty of th e lessor. D u rin g th e term , how ever, th e
lessee is given th e rig h t to sublet, m ake im provem ents, assig n or sell his in te re st
in th e lease, or use it as se c u rity fo r loans, etc. The in te n t of th e in s tru m e n t
a p p aren tly is th a t th e lessee sh all exercise all th e rig h ts of ow nership in th e
b u ild in g or b u ildin g s in cid en t to o rd in a ry ow nership w ith th e exception th a t th e
lessor h as th e rig h t of e n try fo r inspection or ex hibition, and w ith th e fu rth e r
reserv atio n th a t th e lessee m ay n o t incum ber th e p ro p erty in such a m a n n e r as
to im p air th e lesso r’s in te re st th e re in .
T he first question p resen ted by your in q u iry is as to w h eth er u n d e r th e M ichi­
gan B an k in g Law s it is w ith in th e pow er of a S tate B ank to .e n te r in to such a
lease.
On th is proposition I th in k we are agreed th a t S ta te B anks m ay u n d er Section
6100 of th e Compiled L aw s of 1897 e n te r in to a lease of th e n a tu r e indicated.
T his section provides, in p a rt, as follow s:
“A b ank m ay purchase, hold and convey re a l e state for the follow ing purposes,
b u t no o th er: F irs t, such as sh all be necessary for th e convenient tra n sa c tio n
of its business, in clu d in g w ith its b a n k in g offices o th er a p a rtm e n ts to re n t as a
source of incom e, h u t w hich sh all n o t exceed 50% of its paid in cap ital * * * * ’’
The N atio n al B an k in g A ct (R evised S tatu tes, Section 5137) con tain s a v e ry sim i­
la r provision, nam ely :
“A N atio n al B an k in g A ssociation m ay p urchase, hold and convey real e sta te
for th e follow ing purposes and for no o th e rs: F irs t, such as sh all be necessary
fo r its im m ediate accom m odation in th e tra n sa c tio n of its business. * * * *”
U nder th is provision of th e N atio n al B an k in g Law , th e Suprem e C o u rt of th e
U nited S tates held in several in stan ces th a t N atio n al B anks possessed th e power
to purchase and hold long te rm leases, provided such leases are bona fide. See
B row n vs. Schleier, 194 U. S. 18, affirm ing th e decision of th e C ircu it C ourt of
A ppeals in th e sam e case, rep o rted 118 Fed. 981. I th in k th is decision is con­
clusive upon th e proposition, and th a t th e re fo re it is in tr a v ires of our S tate
ban k s to e n te r in to such a lease in preferen ce to o b tain in g th e fee.
Y our second in q u iry is as to w h eth er u n d er such a lease th e in v estm en t of the
lessee b an k should be c arried u n d er th e head “B an k in g H ouse.”
Upon th is propo sitio n so fa r as I have been able to find th e a u th o ritie s do
not th ro w any ligh t. If th e b an k had obtained th e fee in th e lan d upon w hich
th e b u ild in g is erected it would be c a rrie d in its accounts as “ B an k in g H ouse.”
H av in g less th a n a fee. and an in te re st w hich m ig h t be fo rfeited th ro u g h non­
perform ance on th e p a rt of th e bank, and th e te rm s of th e lease itself im posing
a continuous lia b ility upon th e lessee bank, th e re is some question as to w h eth er
th is lease is an a ss e t or a liab ility . It is a lia b ility to th e e x te n t th a t th e bank
m u st pay its re n t w h eth er it o b tain s any incom e fro m th e b u ild in g or not, and
it has th e fu rth e r lia b ility th a t it m u st erect a b u ild in g w o rth n o t less th a n
$50,000 upon th e land, and it m u st a t all tim es a fte r th e erection of such b u ild in g
m a in ta in th e new b u ild in g and older b u ild in g s at a v alue no t less th a n $100,000.
U ndoubtedly if the plan s of th e b an k do not m isc a rry th e lease will be a valu ab le
asset
Independent of such co n sid eratio n s, how ever, and w hich a re larg ely speculative,
th e fact rem ain s th a t th e h an k h as invested, or w ill invest, a specified am o u n t
of money in th e erection of a b u ild in g or b u ild in g s for its own use as a bank. _
I do not see how such an in v e stm e n t can be tre a te d differen tly fro m th e in v e s t-'
m en t in a fee, both bein g for th e sam e purpose. The only difference w ould be
as to actu al value. I u n d e rsta n d th a t N atio n al B anks ow ning th e ir b a n k in g

This, how ever, is by v irtu e of express sta tu te s. As to such officials as do n o t

The g en eral school law also co n tain s a provision by w hich th e electors of a

In rep ly th ereto , I call y o u r a tte n tio n to th e follow ing p ro v isio n s of A ct 265
of th e P ublic A cts of 1905:
“Section 2. The person p rim a rily liable on an in s tru m e n t is th e person who
by th e te rm s of th e in s tru m e n t is ab so lu tely re q u ire d to pay th e sam e. All o th e r

“ Section 26. E v ery negotiable in s tru m e n t is deemed pr'im a facie to have been

thereo n to have become a p a rty th e re to for valu e.”
“Section 31. ACCOMMODATION P A R T Y , L ia b ility of—An accom m odation

In view of th e above provisions and th e nu m ero u s a u th o ritie s, th e re can be

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

A pril T w enty-ninth,
N ineteen F ourteen.
H on. A lbert E. M anning, D eputy B an k in g C om m issioner, C a p ito l:
D ear S ir— I have y our com m u n icatio n of th e 28th in st. re q u e stin g m y opinion as
to w h eth er or not a S ta te b an k can pledge its bonds w ith th e C ounty T re a su re r
in o rd er to secure or g u a ra n te e co unty deposits. You have also fo rw ard ed to me
th e com m unication from th e ........................................ B ank in w hich th e question
is raised.
In reply th ereto would say th a t th e only d irect a u th o rity for th e deposit of coun­
ty bonds w ith ban k s is found in Act 99 of th e P ublic Acts of 1909. B efore th e
passage of th is Act, and even now in th e absence of affirm ative action by th e
B oard of Supervisors or B oard of C ounty A uditors, th e C ounty T re a su re r w as
held absolutely responsible for all county funds. T here w as no d irect a u th o rity
fo r his depositing th e county m oneys w ith ban k s or o th e r depositories unless
as in som e cases by local legislation. U nder th e p rovisions of Act 99 of th e
Public A cts of 1909, ab o v e -re fe rre d to, th e B oard of S upervisors m ay designate
a depository for county fu n d s u n d er c e rta in conditions. Y our a tte n tio n is called
p a rtic u la rly to Section 3 of th is Act, w hich provides as follow s:
“B efore any deposit sh all be m ade w ith any b an k or banks as aforesaid, such
b ank or ban k s sh all execute and deliver to th e B oard of Supervisors or th e
B oard of C ounty A u d ito rs, as th e case m ay be, a good and sufficient bond in an
am o u n t a t least equal to th e m ax im u m a m o u n t to be deposited in such bank, and
w ith such su re tie s as sh all be approved by such board an d th e P ro se c u tin g A tto r­
ney of th e county. Said bonds sh all be m ade to th e county an d sh all be condi­
tioned for th e safe keep in g and rep a y m e n t of such m oneys or a n y p a rt th e re o f
on dem and and th e p ay m en t of said in te re st, and sh all c o n tain such o th e r condi­
tio n s as m ay be re q u ire d by th e B oard of S u p erv iso rs or th e B oard of C ounty
A uditors, not in c o n siste n t w ith th e p ro v isio n s of th is A ct.”
The condition p rescribed in Section 3 is, in my opinion, an ab so lu te one and
for w hich th e re would be no a u th o rity to m ake a su b stitu tio n . The dep o sitin g
of co llateral se c u ritie s w ould not, in m y opinion, fulfill th e conditions p rescrib ed
in th e Act.
I am assu m in g for th e purpose of th is opinion th a t th e B oard of S upervisors

CERTAIN MUNICIPAL PUBLIC UTILITY BONDS NOT LEGAL SAVINGS INVESTMENTS.

.

October 26,
N in eteen F o u rteen .

Hon. E. H. Doyle, S tate B a n k in g C om m issioner, C apitol:
D ear S ir—You have re fe rre d to me a co m m unication fro m a public com m ittee
in th e C ity of Y psilanti, req u e stin g an opinion as to w h e th e r a proposed issue of
u tility bonds w ould come w ith in th e class of in v estm en ts p e rm itted to he m ade
by savings banks o rganized u n d er th e M ichigan B an k in g Law . T he C ity of
Y psilanti has recen tly au th o rized th e p u rch ase th e Y p silan ti gas p la n t and h a s
au th o rized an issue of one h u n d re d th ir ty th o u san d d o llars of m o rtg ag e bonds
to pay for th is p lan t, th e bonds n o t being a lia b ility upon th e g en eral c re d it of
th e city b u t being secured solely by a tr u s t m o rtg ag e covering th e p ro p e rty and
revenues of th e gas p la n t, in clu d in g a tw enty-year fra n c h ise in case of fo re­
closure.
Section 27 of the S ta te B a n k in g L aw prescrib es th e class of in v estm en ts w hich
m ay be m ade by savings b an k s of th e sav in g s m oney on deposit. T h ere are sev­
eral classes w hich a re described in sub-sections (a ) to (i) of th is section. T here
are tw o classes of public bonds: (a ) B onds of th e U nited S tates, of a n y S tate
or te rrito ry of th e U n ited S tates;
(b ) T he public debt or bonds of a n y city,
county, tow nship, v illag e or school d is tric t of a n y S ta te or te r r ito r y in th e
U n ited S tates, w hich sh a ll h av e been au th o riz e d by th e le g isla tu re of such S ta te
or te rrito ry .
T he action of th e C ity of Y p silan ti in p u rc h a sin g th e gas p la n t from a p riv a te
corporation w as evid en tly based upon th e p erm issio n given in Section 4 of A ct 279
of the P ublic Acts of 1909, as am ended by A ct 5 of th e P ublic A cts of 1913. T h is
section provides in p a rt as follow s:
“E ach city m ay in its c h a rte r provide:
(b) F o r b o rrow in g m oney on th e c re d it of th e city in a sum n o t to exceed
eig h t per centum of th e assessed v alue of all re a l and perso n al p ro p e rty in th e
city * * * * w hen a city is au th o riz e d to acq u ire or o p erate an y public u tility ,
i t m ay for th e purpose of a cq u irin g th e sam e borrow m oney on th e c re d it of
th e c ity in a sum n o t to exceed tw o p er cen tu m of th e assessed valu e of all th e
re a l and p erso n al p ro p e rty of th e city, a n d th e city m ay also, for th e p u rpose of
acq u irin g such public u tility , issue m ortgage bonds th e re fo r beyond th e g en eral
lim it of bonded indebtedness p rescribed by law : P rovided, th a t such m ortgage
bonds issued beyond th e g en eral lim its of bonded indebtedness p rescribed by law
sh all n o t im pose an y lia b ility upon such city, b u t sh a ll be secured only upon
th e p ro p erty and revenues of such p ublic u tility , in clu d in g a fra n c h ise s ta tin g th e
te rm s upon w hich, in case of foreclosure, th e p u rc h a se r m ay operate th e sam e
* * * And provided fu rth e r, T h a t th e c h a rte r sh all provide fo r th e cre a tio n of
a sin k in g fund by se ttin g aside such percentage of th e gross or n e t e a rn in g s of
th e public u tilty as m ay be deem ed sufficient fo r th e p ay m en t of th e m ortgage
bonds at m a tu rity .”
T he question a risin g from y o u r in q u iry is, w h e th e r bonds of th e class described
and issued by the C ity of Y p silan ti come w ith in th e provisions of sub-section B
of Section 27 of th e B an k in g L aw above quoted.
Section 27 of th e b a n k in g law w as la s t am ended by A ct 44 of th e P ublic A cts
of 1913 and w as th e re fo re re-enacted in its p re se n t form su bsequent to th e p a s­
sage of section 4 of th e C ity H om e R u le L aw and u n d er th e o rd in a ry ru les of

s ta tu to ry co n stru ctio n m u st th erefo re be deemed to have been enacted in view
of th e provisions of th e C ity H om e R ule Law. T he precise question u n d e r con­
sid e ra tio n involves th e definition of th e te rm “ in th e public debt or bonds of a n y
city .” The b an k in g law does n o t a tte m p t to define th is te rm an y m ore th a n is
im plied in th e lang u ag e used and so fa r as I have been able to discover, th e S u ­
prem e C ourt of th is S tate h as nev er been called upon to pass upon th e question.
I t is also one of first im p ressio n so fa r as th is d e p a rtm e n t is concerned.
T he purpose of th e provisions of Section 27 is to th ro w pro p er safeg u ard s
aro u n d th e in v estm e n t of savings deposits an d like o th e r sim ila r p rovisions of
our b an k in g law, an d th e b a n k in g law s of o th e r S tates an d of th e U nited S tates,
m u st be stric tly construed to give it its in ten d ed effect.
In o rd er th a t sav in g s ban k s m ay in v est in such debts or bonds, th e y m u st
correspond to all of th e req u ire m e n ts of th e sta tu te , th a t is, th ey m u st be public
debts dr bonds and m u st p e rta in to th e city, county, tow nship, v illag e o r school
d is tric t as the case m ay be an d m u st have been au th o rized by th e L eg islatu re.
So fa r as th e p a rtic u la r bonds u n d e r co n sid eratio n are concerned I have no
h e sita tio n in say in g th a t th ey are, stric tly speaking, public bonds, and m ay be
assum ed to have been a u th o rized by th e L eg islatu re of th is S tate, a t le a st for
th e purposes of th is opinion. W h eth e r or n o t th ey a re th e bonds of th e C ity of
Y psilanti, is, how ever, a n o th e r question. It is tru e th e se -b o n d s are au th o rized
by th e C ity of Y psilan ti and th e y are to be paid an d redeem ed by fu n d s belong­
in g to th e C ity of Y psilan ti. T hey are not, how ever, secured by th e fa ith and
c re d it of th e city as a whole.
It is a g en eral ru le of law th a t w here special fu n d s a re created for th e pay­
m en t of a p a rtic u la r class of claim s, those fu n d s can n o t be used for an y o th e r
purpose. Peoples vs. B ay City, 36 Mich. 186; C laim s payable o u t of a special
fu n d are u su ally n o t payable out of a n y o th e r fund, an d hence th e m u n icip ality
is n o t liable outsid e of such fund. B rooke vs. S an L u is Obispo, 109 Cal. 50;
D irectors Chicago P ublic L ib ra ry vs. A rnold, 60 111. App. 328; W iek vs. W ausan,
143 W is. 645; R hode Islan d M. & T. Com pany vs. Spokane, 19 W ash. 616; Loudenslag er vs. A tlan tic City, 80 N. J. L. 658. T his being th e law in d ep en d e n t of
sta tu te , we m ay consider o u r own sta tu te as n o t only lay in g down a ru le a lread y
adopted b u t as absolutely co n tro llin g of th e proposition. T hese bonds a re not,
th erefo re, chargeable a g a in st th e C ity of Y p silan ti as a whole.
A gain, it w ill be noted th a t Section 4 of th e C ity H ome R ule A ct m akes a d is­
tin c tio n betw een bonds issued on th e fa ith and cred it of a city, and bonds se­
cured by a publicly ow ned u tility and th is d istin ctio n is not, as I u n d e rsta n d it,
d istu rb ed by th e decision ren d ered by our Suprem e C ourt in A tto rn ey G eneral
vs. L indsay, 20 D. L. N. 1167, w here th is pro v isio n w as u n d e r d iscussion and
in te rp re te d . I t th e re fo re follow s th e p ublic d ebt an d bonds of a city a re su b ject
to a very pronounced classification to th e e x ten t th a t one class is desig n ated as
th e debt of a city an d th e o th e r class is recognized as of an opposite, d escrip ­
tion, alth o u g h still a public debt.
I have been unable to find an y decision w hich is exactly in point. In th is con­
nection, how ever, th e case of S m ith vs. S m ith. 30 Ky. 238, is of in te re st. In
th a t case a s u it w as b ro u g h t in ch an cery for se ttle m e n t betw een a g u a rd ia n and
h is w ards, th e question p resen ted bein g w h e th e r th e g u a rd ia n should be held
responsible for a sum of m oney received by him fo r th e w ard s and by h im in ­
vested in th e purchase of sh ares in th e B ank of K entucky, w hich stock had become
g re a tly depreciated. U nder a ru le th a t such m oneys could only be in vested in
public funds, and h o lding th e g u a rd ia n liable in case of loss w here o th er in v e st­
m en ts w ere m ade, it w as held by th e C o u rt as follow s:
“We are of th e opinion th a t th e d efen d an t (g u a rd ia n ) should be charged w ith
th e full am o u n t of th e fund invested by him in b an k stock, w h e th e r h is lia b ility
be tested by comm on or s ta tu to ry law . W e can n o t consider stock in th e b an k
of K entucky as “public fu n d s,” or in o th er w ords gov ern m en t stock, depending
fo r its c red it and se c u rity on th e fa ith , solvency an d sta b ility of th e G overnm ent.”
T he b ank of K en tu ck y w as, how ever, a G overnm ent B ank (B riscoe vs. The
B ank of The C om m onw ealth of K entucky, 11 Bet. 257), b u t in asm u ch th e fa ith
and c red it of th e S tate of K en tu ck y w as n o t pledged as se c u rity fo r th e b an k

stock, th e stock w as n o t considered “public fu n d s.”
So in th e presen t case I am im pressed th a t w hile th e proposed bond issue is
to m eet a public ex p en d itu re, an d is a u th o rized by th e C ity of Y psilanti, th e
bonds are n o t “bonds of th e C ity of Y p sila n ti” w ith in th e m ean in g of th e b a n k ­
in g law. The object of Section 27 of th e b a n k in g law is to p rovide th e h ig h e st
k in d of secu rity , b u t th e City of Y p silan ti h as n o t provided th e h ig h e st k in d of
secu rity . On th e c o n tra ry it h as expressly refused to pledge its fa ith and c re d it
as a city to m eet th e bond issue and has pledged only a p a rtic u la r p ro p e rty be­
lon ging to th e city. I am th e re fo re of th e o p inion th a t th ese bonds do n o t m eet
th e re q u irem en ts of th e section of th e b a n k in g law above quoted.
