RECEIVERS CAN BE REMOVED, I OPINION GIVEN a on L. Young Cites. Laws For Guaranty ‘ Fund) Commis- sioner on Receiverships SOME REFUSE TO QUIT!: Power to remove receivers is lodged in the state examiner, according to an opinion furnished the Guaranty Fund Commission by C. L. Young, Bismarck attorney, engaged by the commission to investigate and report upon many legal matters connected with the ad- ministration of the affairs of closed banks.

L. Merrick for the removal of the previously appointed receivers of banks in New England, Havelock and | y Amidon is up for hearing. In concluding hig opinion Mr. Young says: ? “In short, the examiner, upon his conclusion that a bank is insolvent, may take charge of it and wind up its affairs. Undoubtedly he may place a deputy examiner directly in charge, subject to his orders, or he may with the approval of the banking board. appoint a receiver to take possession ot the bank under his direction, but the receiver in such case is placed in ‘ge subject to’ the state examiner's orders and at all times is under his di- (a nn eT a ea errr rection.
