National Banks Under Escheat Act Says Mr. Hargest National banks will come under the new State escheat act the same as trust companies and banks chartered j by the State according to an opinion given to-day to Auditor General Powell by Deputy Attorney General W. M. Hargest. In preparing for the operation of the new law the question was raised with the auditor generul whether national banks would be af fected. In his opinion Mr. Hargest says: I I "The evident intention of the legis- i lature in the passage of the act of| 1915 was to include all banks and I am of the opinion that the language used Includes national banks," says Mr. Hargest in his opinion. "The State as the sovereign has the right to determine how long a time shall elapse before property within its conllnes or which belonged to its I citizens, and has no known owner, | shall escheat to it, and a national I bank, doing business within the State | of Pennsylvania, is upon precisely the isame basis with reference to that de termination as any other banking institution or corporation." • , w*——— ' ——— : ——— Citizens Bank Thirteenth and Derry Streets Christmas Savings Club | NOW OPEN Many are enrolling.
