The state banking department It
making plana to collect assessments
that have been made against stock
holders of defunct banks, for the pur
pose of paying off depositors. The law
allows a collection of an additional
amonnt from each stockholder, equal
the amount of stock he owned la
the bank at par value. This Is one ol
the matters that has been holding uy
the process of liquidation of the Ogle
thorpe Savings and Trust Company ol
Savannah and it Is expected that a
dividend will be declared within the
next few weeks, although this la not
positively determined and nobody can
to what extent it will be made.
The collection of these assessments Is
made possible by the recent ruling ol
tbe state Supreme Court holding that
the provisions of the Georgia bank
ing laws relating to assessments is
constitutional and valid.
