2--I am of opinion that the Government should not undertake any note issue. Such an undertaking would require aforro and expensive establishment, and it is not to be arpented that it would result otherwise than in leas to the Government, or lancaries than in tauch reduced, commodation to the public as compared in the Accommodation to the puble now afforded by the present "local banking establishments. The nodertaking by t Government of the Baue of motes generally would, for its site and efficient working call for such special know. ledge and experionce as it is not reasonable to expect from any there. o Hoorant present forming or likely to form the Executive of the Government of the Colony, especially bearing in mind the freqnator with which the appointments, the officer Kiting which would probably be the Cne- roney Commissioners are filled by actity officers. 3-Thera is, in my view, a antaal necessity for a madeline nota isene Ths gesunds on which its necessity was mygad in Hongkong have not existed, except in a very slight dog es in this Colony. But such an isses would be a great convenience and advantage to the public. It might be made a condition of the granting, or continuing, the privilege-of-note sun to at February-For New York-2,325 rolls Bank, that cartaic proportion of the total notes issued by such Baak should be one dollar notos. In my view it is durable that such ebould be madon condition.
4.If the incomo dorised by a Bsok from the investment of two-thirds of ite Cash. Rosorve against notes and the ultimate profits from lost notes out the prestige viering to a Bane by having a large snout of Bank notes in nirenla tion do not afford sufficient isdement to rune of the Banks not having the prirloges of a note fase to continue the issus of notes payable ch demand on the above condition, theed will pro- bably be left some one Bank desirens of under- taking auch note issiu, bevange of the increased proate to be derived from the monopoly of the ants iwuy. Bat even if thath not as I am of 'opinion that this Government should not under take the issue of notes payable in demand.
All the other European ensficial members of Council conour in the opinion that it would be bad policy to withdraw from the Banka the "power of note issue, as they can do the work mora economically than the Government conld; and that the issue of one-dollar zdes, either by tho Banks or the Government, is desirable as a con- venience. The Hen. J. Anderson says:-
I think that what has been said as to the serious trouble from possible failure of a soto- Issuing Bank is far-Fatahed, and the viows of as Jarmis. Did not other Banks here, when the Oriental Bank Corporation stopped, ooms for ward and pay its notes?".
The Hon. T. Cuthbertson says:"The con dition on which the privilege in at present
grantal is, however, utterly inadequate fe:
the protection of the note-halder, and in re wwwing the charters of the Banks, no parmis- nian to issue notes should be granted which dane not provide that the whole amount of notes in circulation should be covered
Ist-By the deposit wish the Government of specie to the extent of one-third of the notes in virostation.
2nd-By the investment in awass of trustees for ibu benefit of uste-holders of the re- maining two-thirds in approved Govern ment securibína: This would no doubt, greatly leason to the Banks the value of the privilegy of issuing notes as by the present arrangement they are put ic possession of Jarge amounts, watch they are ahla to employ at probably an average rate of & per cant, while an investment in Government socuri.
fies would not give over 4 por cont. On the other hand, there is no doubt that by extending to the Banks the privilege of saint one-dollar notes, they would recoup themselves to some ar toat by the iupremed ciruelsiin, and that a note of the denomination of one-dollar would be an immense tervenience, ospecially in outlying is triots, and generally to the poorerclasses through. out the Settlementa ia undoubted.”
The Hon. J. Allan says: The enaditions under which the Banks at present enjoy the privilege of issuing notes are inadequate, bat I think this might be met i sach Baak was obliged to invest in good roslisable souritiva thoʻoqui- atent of two-thirds of its note circulation, and deposit sach wearities with Governmsat.
