Section 361(2). Sir P. Ezechiel points

out that this section does not make it clear

that if the rules of a Savings Bank Company

are amended after the initial approval by the

Governor, the amendments will require similar

approval. I think this should be made clear

in the Ordinance.

Section 362. I presume the Colonial

Government are satisfied that it is practicable

to ensure that the accounts and books of every

company conducting savings bank business shall

be kept entirely in English. This would be

of obvious advantage to the Examiner of Banks,

but it has been found elsewhere, è.g., in

I'm connectica with Income Tax], Seychelles and Tanganyika, that such a provision

could not be enforced in the case of e.g., small

shop-keepers and the like, and I think we

should ask the Colonial Government for some

assurance on this point.

Section 364. The B. of E. state that they

are not clear whether this section means that

deposits cannot be increased by more than $200

a month net, or whether it means that deposits

in any one month, irrespective of withdrawals,

must not be greater than $200. I think the

former is the case.

They are also not clear whether the

intention of this section is that sums of $1

or multiples thereof, up to a maximum of $200,

may be accepted at any one time. With all

deference, this seems to me to be clear from

the section.
