QUESTIONS.

investments of savings banks?
2. What are these restrictions in this state? In your own state? In
those states which are regarded as having the most highly developed
laws in this field?
3. Is legislation in this field to be considered as subsidizing
certain types of private enterprise? If so, is it socially
justifiable?
