Statement to accompany the report of the committee of conference on the disagreeing vote of the two Houses on S. 6055, "An act to amend section 691 of subchapter 7, building associations, of the Code of Law for the District of Columbia." Amendment No. 1, as amended in conference, limits the expense of examination of any building association to $25 for the first $500,000 or fractional part thereof of assets, and $10 for each additional $250,000 or fractional part thereof, thus reducing the maximum cost of examination as proposed by the original House amendment. Amendment No. 2, as amended in conference, relieves from the necessity of incorporation all building associations heretofore organized and in actual operation before the passage of this act, thus accomplishing in better and clearer phraseology the same purposes as were accomplished by the exceptions in page 3, lines 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, of the act as passed by the Senate. Amendment No. 3, as amended in conference, makes every building association, incorporated or unincorporated, organized and existing under the laws of any State or Territory, except the District of Columbia, and doing business in the District, subject to the provisions of section 691 of the District Code as amended by this act, and requires all such foreign associations to keep on deposit with the Comptroller of the Currency securities amounting to not less than 10 per cent of its capital and surplus, as security for its depositors and creditors. To these amendinents as thus amended the Senate agrees. DISTRIBUTION OF CONGRESSIONAL RECORD, PUBLIC BILLS, DOCUMENTS, ETC. FEBRUARY 23, 1909.-Ordered to be printed.
