The following message from the Governor was also received and read: To the President of the Senate: Sir: I herewith return, without approval, Executive Office, Lansing, May 2, 1911. Senate bill No. 238 (file No. 226), enrolled No. 95, being ` An act to amend sections 27 and 52 of Act No. 205 of the Public Acts of 1887, entitled "An act to revise the laws authorizing the business of banking, and to establish a banking department for the supervision of such business," as amended, being compiler's sections 6116 and 6141 of the Compiled Laws of 1897, as amended by Act No. 265 of the Public Acts of 1899, Act No. 262 of the Public Acts of 1905, and by Act No. 322 of the Public Acts of 1907. The above entitled measure is disapproved for the reason that there have been manifest errors in preparing the copy of this bill from the original act. The act amends subdivision (i) of section 27 (twentyseven) in the direction of allowing the investment by savings banks in notes, bills or other evidences of debt which are secured by the deposit of property of other securities in Michigan trust companies rather than in "Michigan collateral deposit companies." In changing through error the word "of" to "or" in line five (5), the meaning of section twenty-seven (27) is vague, and could be construed in such a manner as to take from the State banks the right to invest thirty-four (34) per cent of their savings deposits in collateral loans, and the retention of this right is of more importance than the amendment sought to be made in the direction of substituting trust companies in lieu of collateral deposit companies as depositories for certain securities.
