|
acquire a mining claim for the purpose of working it and extracting the mineral therefrom actually engage in working the same. Sec. 2. Express Agreement Not Necessary to Constitute.

The relation arises from the ownership of shares or interests in the mine, and working the same for the purpose of extracting the minerals therefrom. Sec. 3. Profits and Losses, How Shared. A member of a mining partnership shares in the profits and losses thereof in the proportion which the interest or share he owns in the mine bears to the whole partnership capital or whole number of shares.

Mine Partnership Property. The mining ground owned and worked by partners in mining, whether purchased with partnership funds or not, is partnership property. Sec. 6. Partnership Not Dissolved by Sale of Interest. One of the partners in a mining partnership may convey his interest in the mine and business without dissolving the partnership. The purchaser, from the date of his purchase, becomes a member of the partnership. Sec. 7. Purchaser Takes Subject to Liens, Unless, Etc. A purchaser of an interest in the mining ground of a mining partnership takes it subject to the liens existing in favor of the partners for debts due all creditors thereof, or advances made for the benefit of the partnership, unless he purchased in good faith, for a valuable consideration, without notice of such lien. Sec. 8. Takes with Notice of Lien, When. A purchaser of the interest of a partner in a mine, when the partnership is engaged in working it, takes with notice of all liens resulting from the relation of the partners to each other, and to the creditors of the partnership. Sec. 9. Contract in Writing, When Binding. No member of a mining partnership or other agent or manager thereof can, by a contract in writing, bind the partnership, except by express authority derived from the members thereof. Sec. 10. Owners of Majority of Shares Govern. The decision of the members owning a majority of the shares or interest in a mining partnership binds it in the conduct of its business. Sec. 11.

Such statement shall be sworn to by the president before a notary public and attested by the secretary of such district.

The outstanding indebtedness, except in cases hereinabove mentioned where there is an outstanding lawful bond issue, or where the district has entered into a contract with the United States pursuant to the provisions of this act, shall not operate as a bar to dissolution by the district court when provision is made for the payment of such indebtedness in the manner hereinabove provided, or such indebtedness is otherwise satisfied. Upon the entry of the order of the court dissolving such district, the same shall be deemed dissolved and no further indebtedness of any kind shall be contracted by the board of directors of said district.

In case the money raised by the sale of all the bonds be insufficient for the completion of the plans and works adopted, and additional bonds be not voted, it shall be the duty of the board of directors to provide for the completion of said plans by levy or assessment therefor; provided further, that when the money obtained by any previous issue of bonds has become exhausted by expenditures herein authorized, and it becomes necessary to raise additional moneys to carry out the adopted plan, additional bonds may be issued if authorized at an election for that purpose, which election shall be called and otherwise conducted in accordance with the provisions of this act in respect to an original issue of bonds. The lien for taxes for the payment of interest and principal of any bond series shall be a prior lien to that of any subsequent bond series. Sec. 5.

Such proposals shall be opened by the board in open meeting at a time to be named in the notice, and the lowest bid or bids shall be accepted; provided, that no bonds shall be redeemed at a rate above par except in cases where said bonds are issued subject to call at a rate above par as provided in section 16 of said act. In case two or more bids are equal the lowest-numbered bond shall have the preference, and if any of said bonds are not so redeemed, that amount of the redemption money shall be invested by the treasurer under the direction of the board in United States bonds or the bonds or warrants of the state or municipal or school bonds, and such bonds and the proceeds therefrom shall belong to the bond fund. Sec. 6. Section 29 of said act, being section 8041 Nevada Compiled Laws 1929, is hereby amended so as to read as follows: Section 29.

The county treasurer shall issue separate itemized tax statements for such assessments. The assessments when levied and enrolled shall become due and delinquent at the same time and be subject to the same penalties and shall be collected by the same officers and in the same manner as state and county taxes. The county auditor, district attorney, clerk and treasurer shall do and perform all acts necessary to accomplish the collection of the same with penalties and the sale for delinquency and redemption of the lands involved. The secretary of the board of directors, at the time of delivering the assessment roll of the district to each county auditor, shall attach thereto in some suitable form a recapitulation list showing the name or names of each person, corporation or association listed in the assessment roll and the amount of money assessed and to be collected by the county treasurer or tax collector, which said recapitulation list shall be delivered by the county auditor to the county treasurer, together with the said assessment roll. The county treasurer shall insert after each name, in a proper column provided for that purpose, the amount paid by each person, corporation or association appearing on the assessment roll, or by stamping the word Paid after each sum, if the assessment is paid in full. |

after each name, in a proper column provided for that purpose, the amount paid by each person, corporation or association appearing on the assessment roll, or by stamping the word Paid after each sum, if the assessment is paid in full. The said recapitulation list shall be redelivered by the county treasurer to the district treasurer, together with the full amount of moneys collected, not later than the 15th day of December of each year; the treasurer shall also include in a report to the district treasurer the amount of any delinquent taxes collected, including the names of the persons paying the same and the years for which paid. On or before June 15 each year the county treasurer shall return to the district treasurer the said duplicate tax roll containing, in a proper column provided therefor, the amount of money paid by each person, or the word Paid stamped thereon after each person assessed, if paid in full; together with a statement of the amount of any delinquent taxes collected, giving the name of the party paying the same and the year for which paid; also at such time the county treasurer shall deliver to the district treasurer all moneys collected for the district subsequent to the preceding December 15. The treasurer, prior to the time of redelivery of said recapitulation list and prior to the time of redelivery of said duplicate assessment roll to the district treasurer, shall report to the county auditor the amount of money which he has collected for and on behalf of the district, and thereupon the auditor shall draw his warrant for the same, placing same in the hands of the treasurer who is authorized to pay the said moneys to the district treasurer at the time of delivering said report. Sec. 7. Section 29 1/2 of said act, being section 8042 Nevada Compiled Laws 1929, is hereby amended so as to read as follows: Section 29 1/2. Whenever the county officers designated in section 29 shall sell any of the lands in the district because of delinquencies in the payment of district, state, or county taxes, said lands shall be sold subject to the accrued and accruing liens for district assessments, charges and tolls against the same; and under no circumstances shall the water rights of the district be included or sold at such delinquent sales unless and until all district taxes, assessments, charges and tolls against such lands shall have been first fully paid to the district. Unpaid and accruing district assessments, taxes, charges and tolls against such lands sold at delinquent tax sales shall continue a charge and lien against such lands, and any purchaser of such lands shall take the same subject to the payment by the purchaser of all such accrued and accruing charges, in addition to the purchase price of said land. Any irrigation district lands bought in by the district at a delinquent tax sale may be conveyed to any purchaser upon such terms as the board of directors shall deem for the best interest of the district; provided, however, that the board shall not extend the time of payment of the whole purchase price beyond the date when any bond issue or other obligation matures for which said assessments, taxes, tolls or charges form a part. |

The board shall not, however, sell or otherwise dispose of the water appurtenant to, apportioned or allotted to said lands acquired at delinquent tax sales until the remaining lands in the district under irrigation to which benefits have been apportioned by the district and entitled to receive water from the district, and from the same source of supply, shall have a sufficient and adequate water supply available for such irrigated areas. The board of directors shall distribute such waters acquired at delinquent tax sale among the remaining nondelinquent land owners in the district entitled to receive water from the district in the same proportion as the original apportionment of benefits was spread over said lands. Sec. 8. Section 44 of the above-entitled act, being section 8059 N. C. L. 1929, is hereby amended so as to read as follows: Section 44.

Within ten days after the receipt of any such application or after the passage by the board of a resolution proposing the withdrawal of such lands, the directors of the district shall give notice of such proposed change or exclusion for three consecutive weeks by posting in five public and conspicuous places in the district, with at least one posting in each division thereof, and where the owners of the land sought to be excluded can be found within the district, by serving them with written notice at least ten days before the meeting to consider such exclusion or change, and where the owners cannot be so found, then by sending said written notice by registered mail, postage paid, to the last known post-office address of such owners at least thirty days before the meeting to consider such exclusion or change, and which shall be deemed for all purposes in lieu of said personal service. |

Not less than ten days after the completion of such posting or personal service of notice, the board shall consider the matter, and shall grant or reject the petition in whole or in part. In the event lands are excluded, or the boundary lines changed pursuant to this section, a copy of the order certified by the secretary of the district, with a plat of the land excluded or change in boundary made, shall be filed for record in the office of the county recorder of the county or counties in which such land or lands are situated, and it shall be evidence for all purposes of the facts it purports to state. Any holder of title or of evidence of title to land in the district who is aggrieved at the order of the board of directors in excluding or refusing to exclude lands as provided in this act may, within thirty days from the date upon which said board makes the order excluding or refusing to exclude lands from the district as provided herein, petition the district court of the county in which the office of the board of directors is situated to set aside such order, and directing that such lands be excluded or be not excluded, as the court may order.

The funds of any savings bank, except the reserve provided for in this act, shall be invested in bonds of the United States, or of any state of the United States, or in the public debt or bonds of any county, city or school district of any state in the United States which shall have been lawfully issued; or may be loaned on negotiable paper secured by any of the above-mentioned classes of security; or upon notes or bonds secured by mortgage lien upon unencumbered real estate; provided, that second-mortgage loans may be made upon improved farm lands, but no loans shall be made upon such lands or other real estate which, including the aggregate amount of all encumbrances, shall exceed fifty per cent of the cash value thereof or eighty per cent of the assessed value thereof for tax purposes, whichever is the lesser amount; or upon notes secured by collateral security of known marketable value exclusive of mining stock; or held as cash; or may be deposited in good solvent banks; provided, that the deposits in any bank shall not exceed forty per cent of the capital and surplus of the depositing bank; provided, also, that chattel mortgages shall not be deemed collateral security, and savings banks are prohibited from investing their funds in them. When the savings bank business is conducted as a part of a general banking business, and the assets of the corporation are not segregated as between departments, then the ratio of savings deposits, including time certificates of deposit, to the total deposits, shall determine the portion of the banks funds which shall be invested subject to the savings bank restrictions of this act. Sec. 7. A pass book shall be issued to each depositor in savings bank for all money deposited on open account.

When any deposit is made in a savings bank by a minor the said bank may pay to such depositor such sums as may be due him or her, and the receipt of such minor to such savings bank shall be valid. Sec. 8. Hereafter no bank or trust company shall be organized, and no bank or banker shall be permitted to carry on business with a less capital than fifty thousand dollars, and paid up surplus of ten thousand dollars, and the full amount of the capital and surplus of any bank or trust company must be paid in cash, exclusive of all organization expenses, before it shall be authorized to commence business, or any individual banker be permitted to be in or continue business. Every bank now engaged in business with a capital of less than fifty thousand dollars and surplus of less than ten thousand dollars shall within four years increase its capital and add to its surplus an amount sufficient to meet the foregoing requirements and shall, in the meantime, pay no dividends. Sec. 9. The capital stock of any bank subject to the provisions of this act and doing business under the laws of this state may be increased or decreased within the limitations prescribed by this act at any time by a resolution adopted by two-thirds of its stockholders, at any regular meeting or at a special meeting called for that purpose, of which all stockholders shall have due notice, in the manner provided by the by-laws of such corporation; provided, that no resolution for the decrease of capital stock shall be so acted upon until notice of such proposed decrease shall have been published once a week for a period of at least four weeks in a daily newspaper of general circulation, if one be published in the county in which such bank is located, or if none, then in a weekly newspaper of general circulation published in said county. A certificate must be filed with the superintendent of banks by the officers of the meeting, and by a majority of the directors, showing the compliance with the provisions of this section, the amount of capital stock represented at the meeting, and the vote upon the question to increase or decrease the capital stock.

The holders of capital stock of any corporation organized under the provisions of this act, after they have fully paid therefor, shall be under no stockholders liability to the creditors of such corporation; provided, however, where the capital stock of any bank has been impaired, an assessment upon the stockholders, as hereinafter provided, may be levied to make such impairment good, and the stock of any shareholder of such bank may be sold as hereinafter provided if said assessment is not paid. Sec. 13. No bank shall employ its moneys, directly or indirectly, in trade or commerce by buying or selling goods, chattels, wares, or merchandise, and shall not invest any of its funds in the stock of any bank or trust company or corporation, nor make any loans or discounts upon the security of the shares of its own capital stock, nor be the purchaser or holder of any such shares, unless such security or purchase shall be necessary to prevent loss upon a debt previously contracted in good faith, and stock so purchased or acquired shall, within twelve months from the time of its purchase, be sold or disposed of at public or private sale; after the expiration of twelve months any such stock shall not be considered as part of the assets of any bank or trust company; provided, however, that nothing in this section nor in this act shall be deemed to prohibit banks from subscribing to, purchasing, or becoming the owners of stock in federal reserve banks as established by act of Congress of the United States, approved December 23, 1913, or any amendment thereof; or in any governmental agency or liquidating or financial corporation created by the Congress of the United States; provided further, that any bank may sell or become the owner of any property which may come into its possession as collateral security for any debt or obligation due it, according to the terms of any contract depositing such collateral security, and if there be no such contract, then such collateral security may be sold in the manner provided by law; provided, however, that any such property must be sold within two years from the date of its acquisition. |

Sec. 22. Every bank which fails to make and transmit or to publish any report required under this act shall be subject to a penalty of fifty dollars for each day after the period mentioned in the preceding section that it delays to make and transmit its report or proof of publication. Whenever any bank delays or refuses to pay the penalty herein imposed for a failure to make and transmit or to publish a report, the superintendent of banks is hereby authorized to maintain an action, in the name of the state, against the delinquent bank for the recovery of such penalty, and all sums collected by such action shall be paid into the general school fund of the state. Sec. 23. Any bank doing business under this act may place its affairs and assets under the control of the superintendent of banks, by posting a notice on its front door as follows: This bank is in the hands of the state superintendent of banks. The posting of such notice or the taking possession of any bank by the superintendent of banks shall be sufficient to place all of its assets and property of whatever nature in the possession of the superintendent of banks, and shall operate as a bar to any attachment proceedings, and the said bank shall be liquidated and its property and assets administered as in this act or otherwise by law provided. Sec. 24. Any bank doing business under this act may voluntarily liquidate by paying off all its depositors in full and upon filing a verified statement with the superintendent of banks, setting forth the fact that all its liabilities have been paid, and on the surrendering of its certificate of authority to transact a banking business, it shall cease to be subject to the provisions of this act, and may continue to transact a loan and discount business under its charter; provided, that the superintendent of banks shall make an examination of any such bank for the purpose of determining that all its liabilities have been paid; and provided further, that the corporate name of the institution shall be first changed to eliminate any suggestion that it is a bank or engaged in the banking business. |

Sec. 25. A bank shall be deemed to be insolvent: First-When the actual value of its assets is insufficient to pay its liabilities; Second-When it is unable to meet the demands of its creditors in the usual and customary manner; Third-When it shall fail to make good its capital or reserve as required by law; Fourth-When the superintendent of banks shall have taken possession of the bank and the assets thereof, as in this act provided, and shall have retained possession thereof for a period of thirty days. Sec. 26. The directors or owner of any bank doing business under this act may declare dividends of so much of the net profits as they may judge expedient. Sec. 27. Any losses in excess of its undivided profits, sustained by any bank operating under the provisions of this act, may be charged to its surplus fund; provided, that its surplus fund shall thereafter be reimbursed from its earnings until the minimum for such fund required under the provisions of this act shall have been reestablished, and no dividends shall be paid while such fund is less than such minimum. Sec. 28. No bank or bank officer or director thereof, or individual banker, shall withdraw or permit to be withdrawn, either in form of dividends or otherwise, any portion of its capital. If losses have at any time been sustained by such bank equal to or exceeding its undivided profits, then on hand, no dividend shall be paid, and no dividend shall be declared by any bank while it continues its banking business to any amount greater than its profits on hand, deducting therefrom its losses, to be ascertained by a careful estimate of the actual value of its assets at the time of making such dividends. Nothing in this section will prevent the reduction of the capital stock of any bank in the manner prescribed herein. Sec. 29. No bank shall pay interest on time deposits directly or indirectly at a greater rate than three per cent per annum.

Sec. 31. The superintendent of banks shall have power to offer, under such conditions as he may deem proper, and not to exceed the sum of $500 in any one case, rewards for the arrest and conviction of any officer, director, agent or employee of any bank or trust company charged with violating any of the laws of this state relating to banks and banking, for which a criminal penalty is provided, or for the arrest and conviction of any person charged with stealing, with or without force, any money, property or thing of value of any bank or trust company, and the state treasurer is hereby authorized, empowered and directed to pay out of the general fund of the state all rewards so offered when the same shall be approved by the board of examiners of this state in the usual manner for allowing other claims against the state. Sec. 32. It shall be unlawful for any officer, clerk or agent of any bank doing business under this act to certify any check, draft or order drawn upon such bank, unless the person, firm or corporation drawing such check, draft or order has on deposit with the said bank at the time such check, draft or order is certified an amount of money equal to the sum specified in said check, draft or order. Any check, draft or order so certified by a duly authorized officer shall be a good and valid obligation against such bank, but the owner, officer, clerk or agent of any bank or banker violating the provisions of this section shall be deemed guilty of a felony, and upon conviction shall be punished by a fine not to exceed one thousand dollars, or by imprisonment in the state prison not to exceed five years, or by both such fine and imprisonment.

Any indebtedness, however, contracted in excess of the amount limited herein, shall be null and void in its entirety. Sec. 36. Whenever it shall appear that the capital of any bank doing business under this act has become impaired the superintendent of banks shall forthwith notify such bank to make such impairment good and set a time limit therefor, which shall not be more than ninety days from the date of such notice; and it shall be the duty of the directors of any bank which has received such notice from the superintendent of banks immediately to meet and devise means for making good such impairment within the time limit set therefor by the superintendent of banks; and if the said directors shall determine that, for such purpose, an assessment upon the stockholders is necessary, they shall declare such assessment as may be necessary for such purpose, the same to be due and payable to said bank on some date before the expiration of such time limit. At least twenty (20) days before the expiration of such time limit the stockholders shall be notified, at their last known address, in writing, of any such assessment as may have been determined to be necessary for such purpose, together with the purpose thereof and the final date for payment of such assessment.

The bank shall have a prior lien upon the stock of every individual stockholder, to the extent of such assessment, and in the event of refusal or failure of any stockholder to meet such assessment, then the lien may be foreclosed and the stock of such delinquent stockholder may be sold to the highest bidder at a sale noticed as provided in the case of assessment notices. Sec. 37.

A copy of such list on the first Monday in January of each year, verified by the oath of such president or cashier, shall be transmitted to the superintendent of banks and shall be filed in his office for the use of said superintendent of banks. Sec. 39. Whenever any banker or officer of any bank shall refuse to submit the books, papers and effects of such bank to the inspection of the superintendent of banks, or his deputies, or shall in any manner obstruct or interfere with them in the discharge of their duties, or refuse to be examined on oath touching the affairs of the bank, the superintendent of banks shall revoke the authority of such bank to transact a banking business, and proceed to wind up its affairs. Sec. 40. Any banker or officer of any bank whose authority to transact a banking business has been revoked, as herein provided, who shall receive any deposit of whatsoever nature, after such revocation, shall be subject to the same penalty hereinafter provided for persons transacting a banking business without authority.

A bank may purchase, hold, or convey real estate for the following purposes: First, such as shall be necessary for the convenient transaction of its business, including its furniture and fixtures; second, such as shall be conveyed to it in satisfaction of debts due the bank previously contracted in the course of its business; third, such as it shall purchase at sale under judgment, decree, or mortgage foreclosure under securities held by it, but shall not bid at any such sale a larger amount than is necessary to satisfy its claim and costs. |

It must be sold at a private or public sale within thirty days thereafter. Sec. 42. The shares of stock of any incorporated bank shall be deemed personal property, and shall be transferred on the books of the bank in such manner as the by-laws thereof may direct, but no transfer of stock shall be valid against a bank or creditor thereof so long as the registered holder thereof shall be liable as a principal debtor, surety, or otherwise, to the bank for any debt, and no stock shall be transferred on the books of any bank where the registered holder thereof is in debt to the bank. Sec. 43. No bank shall make any loan or discount on the security of the shares of its own capital stock, nor be the purchaser or holder of such shares, unless such security or purchase shall be necessary to prevent loss upon a debt previously contracted in good faith; and stock so purchased or acquired shall, within six months from the time of its purchase or acquisition, be sold or disposed of at public or private sale. Sec. 44. For the purpose of carrying into effect the provisions of this act, the superintendent of banks shall provide the necessary forms for all examinations and reports as herein required, and all reports received by him shall be preserved in his office.

Any person circulating, knowing the same to be false, or instigating others to circulate either by word of mouth, writing, or print, false statements calculated to injure the credit or solvency of a banking institution while the same is open and transacting business in the customary manner shall be deemed guilty of a gross misdemeanor.

No bank, trust company, banker, officer or any bank or trust company, or association, or corporation, doing a banking business, shall advertise in any manner or publish any statement of the capital stock authorized or subscribed, unless the amount of capital stock actually paid up shall be advertised or published therewith. Sec. 49. The state board of finance shall have, in connection with the superintendent of banks, supervision and control of all banks and the business thereof, operating under the laws of this state.

Said bond shall be filed with the state board of finance. Until his successor shall be named and appointed by the governor, the present bank examiner, who shall hereafter be known as Superintendent of Banks, shall continue in office at the salary hereinabove provided, with all the powers and duties herein conferred and imposed. Said superintendent of banks shall continue to serve in an ex officio capacity as now provided by law for the state bank examiner. In every case where the superintendent of banks shall be called upon to take charge of the affairs or assets of a bank or banks, in accordance with the provisions of this act, the state board of finance shall require him to give an additional bond in such sum as may be fixed by the board, and such bond shall be approved in like manner as his official bond hereinabove provided for and filed with the state board of finance. Said superintendent of banks may, if the circumstances, in his judgment, warrant such action, and with the approval of the state board of finance, appoint a deputy superintendent of banks to aid him in carrying out the provisions of this act. Said deputy superintendent of banks shall receive a salary of two hundred fifty ($250) dollars per month, payable as salaries of other state officers are paid. Such deputy shall perform such duties as the superintendent of banks shall direct, but the employment of such deputy shall not continue longer than necessarily required for the purpose for which he was employed, and he shall be subject to removal at any time at the pleasure of the superintendent of banks. The superintendent of banks shall also appoint a further deputy who, under the direction and supervision of the superintendent of banks, shall perform only such ex officio duties as are imposed upon the superintendent of banks or state bank examiner, and such deputy shall receive a salary of three thousand ($3,000) dollars a year, payable in equal monthly installments as other state officers are paid. The superintendent of banks shall occupy the offices of the state board of finance.

In addition to the other powers conferred upon him by this act the superintendent of banks shall be charged with the enforcement of the provisions of this act, and shall have the power to make rules and regulations for the governing of banks doing business under the terms of this act. It shall be his particular duty to make summary orders in writing as provided hereunder, as follows: 1. Whenever any corporation or association to which this act is applicable, or any individual banker or any private banker, doing business hereunder, violates its charter or any law, or, in the opinion of the superintendent of banks, is conducting its or his business in an unauthorized or unsafe manner, the superintendent of banks shall forthwith issue an order, in writing, directing the discontinuance of such unauthorized or unsafe practices and requiring the delinquent to appear before him, at a time and place fixed in said order, to present any explanation in defense of the practices directed in said order to be discontinued. 2. Whenever it shall appear to the superintendent of banks that the capital stock of any such corporation or association has been reduced in value below the requirements of law or of its certificate of incorporation, or of its articles of association, or that the capital of any such private or individual banker has been reduced in amount below the requirements of the law, he shall forthwith issue an order directing that such corporation, association or banker make good such deficiency forthwith or within a time specified in such order. 3. Whenever it shall appear to the superintendent of banks that either the total reserves or reserves on hand of any such corporation, association or private or individual banker required by this act to maintain such reserves are below the amount required by law to be maintained, or that such corporation or association or banker is not keeping its reserves on hand as required by this act, he shall forthwith issue an order directing that such corporation, association or banker make good such reserves forthwith, or within the time specified within such order, or that it or he keep its reserves on hand as herein by this act required. 4. Whenever it shall appear to the superintendent of banks that any corporation or association to which this act is applicable or any individual banker or any private banker, subject to the provisions of this act, does not keep its books or accounts in such manner as to enable the said superintendent readily to ascertain its true condition, he shall issue an order requiring such corporation, association or banker, or the officers thereof, or any of them, to open and keep such books or accounts as he may, in his discretion, determine and prescribe for the purpose of keeping accurate and convenient records of the transactions and accounts of such corporation, association or banker. |

the officers thereof, or any of them, to open and keep such books or accounts as he may, in his discretion, determine and prescribe for the purpose of keeping accurate and convenient records of the transactions and accounts of such corporation, association or banker. Sec. 52. Wherever, in any town, whether incorporated or unincorporated, or in any city of this state, there are two or more banks, bankers or trust companies, they may unite into an association or clearing house and adopt rules and regulations for the government of the banks belonging to such association or clearing house; and all the banks of the state, or of any district of the state, may unite in a state or clearing house association, or a district association or district clearing house association, and any of such associations or clearing house associations may make rules and regulations governing the members thereof, which said rules and regulations, when approved by the state board of finance, shall be binding upon all the members of such associations or clearing house associations, and have the full force and effect of rules adopted by the said state board of finance. Sec. 53. The superintendent of banks may forthwith take possession of the business and property of any corporation, association, individual, or private banker to which this act is applicable, whenever it shall appear that such corporation, association or banker: 1. Has violated its charter or any law; 2. Is conducting its business in an unauthorized or unsafe manner; 3. Is in an unsafe or unsound condition to transact its business; 4. Cannot with safety and expediency continue business; 5. Has an impairment of its capital or reserves. He shall forthwith take such possession when it shall appear that such corporation, association or banker: 1. Has suspended payment of its obligations; 2. Has neglected or refused to comply with the terms of a duly issued order of the superintendent of banks; 3. Has refused, upon proper demand, to submit its records and affairs for inspection to the superintendent of banks, or his deputy or deputies; 4. Has refused to be examined upon oath regarding its affairs. Upon taking possession, as aforesaid, the superintendent of banks shall retain such possession until such bank shall be placed in condition safely to resume business or its affairs be finally liquidated as herein provided, or until otherwise ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction. No bank, corporation, association, firm or individual knowing of such taking possession by the superintendent of banks shall have a lien or charge for any payment, advance or clearance thereafter made or liability thereafter incurred against any of the assets of the bank of whose property and business the superintendent of banks shall have taken possession, as aforesaid. |

taking possession by the superintendent of banks shall have a lien or charge for any payment, advance or clearance thereafter made or liability thereafter incurred against any of the assets of the bank of whose property and business the superintendent of banks shall have taken possession, as aforesaid. Such bank may, with the consent of the superintendent of banks and the state board of finance, resume business upon such conditions as may be approved by them. Sec. 54. Upon taking possession of the property and business of such bank, the title to all assets of such bank shall immediately become fully vested in the superintendent of banks. The superintendent of banks is authorized to collect moneys due to such bank, and do such other acts as are necessary to conserve its assets and business, and shall proceed to liquidate the affairs thereof as hereinafter provided. The superintendent shall collect all debts and claims, and enforce all liabilities and rights of action accrued to or belonging to such bank, and may institute and prosecute all proper and necessary actions for that purpose, and may sell or compound all bad or doubtful debts, and, upon the order of the district court for the county where the bank carried on business, may sell all the real and personal property of such bank on such terms as the court may direct. In cases where the bank owned real or chattel mortgages, and to protect the assets covered thereby advances of money are necessary, and an agency of the United States government is willing to make such advances, or where the amount of money obtainable from such government agency represents eighty per centum of the market value of such assets, the superintendent of banks is authorized without court order to execute subordinating agreements, subordinating the first lien on such mortgages to such governmental agency. The superintendent may employ such clerks and assistants, and incur such expenses for rent, office supplies, and other proper and reasonable expenses as may be necessary in the preservation and liquidation of the business of such bank, and in special and important cases may employ an attorney, or attorneys at law, as special counsel to assist in the conduct of any particular case, whose compensation shall be fixed by the state board of finance at such reasonable and proper sum as may be determined upon by them for the services rendered. In ordinary cases, and for the usual advice and assistance that the superintendent of banks may require in all legal matters, such services shall be rendered by the district attorney of the county where said banking business was carried on, and also, upon request of the superintendent, by the attorney-general, without additional compensation, except that the state board of finance may, in its discretion, allow the district attorney such sum as may be adjudged reasonable by them, not exceeding, however, fifty dollars per month, during the period of the rendition of said services. |

The superintendent of banks shall require from the clerks and assistants, including a deputy superintendent of banks, if any, employed in the settling up of the affairs of any bank, in accordance with this act, such security for the faithful performance of their duties as he may deem proper. Sec. 56. The superintendent of banks shall cause notice to be given by advertisement, in one or more newspapers published in the place where said banking business was carried on, weekly, for two successive months, calling on all persons who may have claims against such bank, other than claims as mere depositors therein, to present the same to the superintendent of banks, and make legal proof thereof, at a place and within a time not later than the last date of publication, to be therein specified. The superintendent of banks shall mail by registered mail a similar notice to all persons whose names appear as creditors upon the books of such bank otherwise than as mere depositors therein. The superintendent of banks shall at the same time mail a notice to each depositor whose name appears on the books of said bank, specifying therein the balance shown by said books to be due to such depositor, and advising such depositor that in the absence of proof submitted by him to the contrary, he will be listed and considered as a creditor-depositor of the bank in the amount thus shown by the books of the bank. If the superintendent of banks doubts the justice and validity of any claim, he may reject the same and serve notice of such rejection upon the claimant either by registered mail or personally. An affidavit of service of such notice shall be prima facie evidence thereof and shall be filed in his office. An action upon a claim so rejected must be brought within three months after such service, and a judgment for such claim shall have the effect only of placing the claim on the same basis as an approved claim, and shall create no lien or preference on the property or assets in the hands of the superintendent of banks, nor shall any execution be issued on such judgment. Claims presented after the expiration of the time fixed in the notice to creditors shall be entitled to share in the distribution only to the extent of the assets remaining in the hands of the superintendent of banks, equitably applicable thereto. After the posting of the notice provided for in section 23 of this act, or the taking possession of any bank by the superintendent of banks, no attachment, execution or other writ shall be levied upon the property or assets of such bank while in the possession of the superintendent of banks. |

Sec. 57. Upon taking possession of the property and assets of such bank, the superintendent of banks shall make an inventory of the assets thereof in duplicate; one to be filed in the office of the state board of finance, and one to be kept at the place where said banking business was carried on. Upon the expiration of the time fixed for the presentation of claims, the superintendent of banks shall make in duplicate a complete list of the claims presented, including and specifying such claims as have been rejected by him and such claims of depositors as shown by the books of such bank; one of each such lists to be filed in the office of the state board of finance, and one to be retained and kept at the place where said banking business was carried on. Such inventories and lists so kept at the place where said banking business was carried on shall be open at all reasonable times to inspection. Sec. 58. The compensation of all special counsel, employees, assistants, and the extra compensation allowed to the district attorney, if any, and all expenses of supervision and liquidation, except the salaries of the superintendent of banks and deputy superintendent of banks, if any, shall be paid by the superintendent of banks out of the funds of such bank in his hands. The moneys collected and realized by the superintendent of banks shall be from time to time deposited in one or more banks of deposit, designated by the superintendent of banks, which bank or banks shall give bonds to fully secure the payment of such deposits on demand. Such bonds shall be subject to the approval of the superintendent of banks, but shall be such as are by section 6 of this act authorized as investments for savings funds, and shall be by the superintendent of banks delivered to, and remain in the custody of, the state treasurer, and by said state treasurer redelivered to such bank as and when such bank deposit is repaid. Sec. 59. At any time after the expiration of the date fixed for the presentation of claims, the superintendent of banks may, out of the funds remaining in his hands after the payment of expenses, declare one or more dividends, and after the expiration of one year from the first publication of notice to creditors he may declare a final dividend, such dividends to be paid to such persons and in such amounts as may be found to be correct; provided, that no dividend to general creditors shall be paid until all determined preferred claims have been paid in full or the payment thereof shall have been provided for. For the purposes hereof any draft or drafts issued before the closing of such bank, as herein provided, and issued for the settlement of bank clearings or settlement of intrabank transactions, shall be classed as preferred. Nothing in this section shall be construed to deny preference to any other claim where a preference may be established according to law and fact. |

preference to any other claim where a preference may be established according to law and fact. Sec. 60. Any banker, or banking corporation, or association, of whose property and business the superintendent of banks has taken possession or of which he threatens to take possession, feeling aggrieved thereby, may file suit at any time, but in any event not later than ten days after such taking possession, and apply to the district court in the judicial district in which the bank is located for an injunction; and the court, after citing the superintendent of banks to show cause why further proceedings should not be enjoined, and hearing the allegations and proofs of the parties, and determining the facts, may, upon the merits, dismiss such application, or enjoin the superintendent of banks from further proceedings, and direct him to surrender such business and property to such banker, or banking corporation, firm or association. Such suits shall be brought to trial at the earliest time practicable, and shall be entitled to preference over other civil cases. Sec. 61. Whenever the superintendent of banks shall have paid to each and every depositor and creditor of said bank, whose claim or claims shall have been duly proved and allowed as herein provided, the full amount of such claims and shall have made proper provision for unclaimed and unpaid deposits or dividends, and shall have paid all the expenses of the liquidation, the superintendent of banks shall pay over or assign the surplus of money or other assets remaining in his hands to the individual, firm, corporation, or association entitled to receive the same. Sec. 62. The superintendent of banks shall report to the state board of finance, semiannually, the names and locations of banks so taken possession of and liquidated, and the sums of unclaimed and unpaid deposits or dividends, with respect to each of them, respectively, and such dividends and unclaimed deposits remaining unpaid, in the hands of the superintendent of banks, for six months after the final distribution, shall be by him deposited with the state treasurer to be held in trust in a special fund for the several depositors and creditors of the liquidated bank from which they were received, and such moneys and any interest thereof shall, notwithstanding any statute of limitations or other act relating to prescription, be held by said state treasurer subject to all rightful claims on behalf of any person other than the bank, and if a claim to any moneys so paid over and held by said state treasurer is thereafter established to the satisfaction of the state board of finance, the state treasurer shall on the direction of the state board of finance make payment thereof to the person entitled thereto. Sec. 63. Whenever any bank shall voluntarily place itself in the hands of the superintendent of banks, the said superintendent of banks shall immediately take possession of such bank and all its assets, and such proceedings shall thereafter be had for its administration and liquidation as is herein provided in case of an involuntary taking possession by the said superintendent of banks. |

itself in the hands of the superintendent of banks, the said superintendent of banks shall immediately take possession of such bank and all its assets, and such proceedings shall thereafter be had for its administration and liquidation as is herein provided in case of an involuntary taking possession by the said superintendent of banks. Sec. 64. After the superintendent of banks shall have taken possession of any bank which is subject to the provisions of this act, the owner, in case it is an unincorporated bank, or if a corporation, its stockholders, may repair its credit, restore or substitute its reserves or otherwise place it in a condition so that it is qualified to do a general banking business, but such bank shall not be permitted to reopen its business until the law has been complied with, and its credits and funds are in all respects repaired, and its reserves restored or sufficiently substituted. Whereupon, the superintendent of banks is authorized to issue written permission for the reopening of said bank, and thereupon said bank may be reopened to do a general banking business. Sec. 65. Every deputy superintendent of banks shall, before entering upon the discharge of his duties, take and subscribe the constitutional oath of office. Sec. 66. It shall be the duty of the superintendent of banks, or one of his deputies, at least once every six months, and oftener if he deems it advisable, to make, or cause to be made, a full and careful examination and inquiry into the condition of each and every bank subject to the provisions of this act, and for such purposes may take charge on the premises of the assets of the bank or any portion thereof, if the need should arise, for the purpose of satisfying himself that the provisions of this act having reference to the safety of the creditors, depositors, and stockholders of such bank are being duly observed, and that the bank is in a sound financial condition. The superintendent of banks and his deputies shall have the right of access to the books, accounts, documents, vouchers and securities of the bank, and shall be entitled to require and receive from the officers, directors, and employees of the bank such information and explanation as he may deem necessary for the performance of his duties. For these purposes the superintendent of banks and his deputies are hereby authorized and empowered to administer oaths, and to examine under oath the owners, stockholders, directors, and all officers and employees and agents of such banks or other persons. The results of such examinations and inquiries shall be by the superintendent of banks or his deputies making the same, reduced to a written report and signed, which report shall contain a true and detailed statement of the condition of such bank, and shall also contain the following: |
Voluntary surrender of banks
Owner or stockholders of bank may repair credit and reopen

Rights of depositors where bank has voluntarily suspended business; may bring action |
(a) A full statement of any violation of any of the provisions of this act; (b) A description and comment on all assets and liabilities which in the opinion of said superintendent of banks may be subject to criticism; (c) A classification of assets showing which are of doubtful collectibility. Upon the preparation of the report as aforesaid, the superintendent of banks shall forthwith serve a copy thereof on each member of the board of directors of said bank, and shall thereupon file the said report with the state board of finance, together with an affidavit showing service of the same upon each member of the board of directors of said bank. Another copy thereof shall be kept on file in the office of the superintendent of banks. Within a reasonable time after the receipt of said report by the state board of finance, it shall review the same and, if in its judgment it discloses any violation of the provisions of this act on the part of said bank, or if it appears from said report that there are certain conditions existing which should be corrected by said bank, the state board of finance shall direct the superintendent of banks to, and he shall forthwith in writing, call the matter to the attention of each member of the board of directors with instructions to correct said condition. Sec. 67. The superintendent of banks and deputy superintendent of banks shall be allowed their actual and necessary traveling expenses when away from the capitol on official business, and, when bills for the same are approved by the state board of finance and the state board of examiners, they shall be paid out of the appropriation made for the support of the office of the superintendent of banks. Sec. 68. Whenever any bank shall have voluntarily suspended business or when the superintendent of banks shall have taken possession of the assets of any bank, depositors or creditors representing not less than fifteen per cent of the total amount of the outstanding indebtedness against said bank, exclusive of public deposits, may commence an action in the district court of Ormsby County or the county in which the bank is located, against the bank, setting forth the facts that such bank is insolvent, and is unable to pay its depositors and creditors in the usual course of business, or has suspended payment of its obligations, and has refused or neglected to pay its obligations for a period of at least thirty days prior to the filing of the complaint, or either of said causes. In any such action the bank and the superintendent of banks and the directors of such bank, and the depositors and creditors and stockholders, and each county and state political subdivision or state agency or officer having deposits in said bank, shall be made parties defendant. |
κ1933 Statutes of Nevada, Page 323 (CHAPTER 190, AB 268)κ
|
The State of Nevada consents to be made a party defendant in any such action, and to be sued therein. When the number of stockholders or depositors and creditors are numerous, and it is impracticable to bring them all before the court, stockholders and depositors and creditors named as parties may defend for the benefit of all. Summons shall be served upon the parties defendant as in other civil cases, and every such action shall be governed by the provisions of An act to regulate proceedings in civil cases in this state, and to repeal all other acts in relation thereto, approved March 17, 1911, and acts amendatory and supplementary thereto; provided, however, that all objections or defenses in point of law arising upon the face of the complaint which, under the civil practice act, might be made by demurrer, must be set forth in the answer. Such objections shall be disposed of at and as part of the final hearing unless the court, in its discretion, shall order prior disposition. Sec. 69. At the time of the filing of said complaint, the court shall order the superintendent of banks, within such time as the court shall fix by said order, to file a full and complete inventory of the assets of such bank in his possession, together with his appraisal or opinion of the value of said assets, and of each item constituting the same, and also a full and complete report of all claims and demands against said bank, together with the names and amount due each creditor, depositor or claimant. The superintendent of banks, immediately after he receives notice of the pendency of such action, shall cause notice to be given by advertisement in one or more newspapers published in the place of the principal office of the closed bank weekly for two (2) consecutive weeks, calling on all persons who have claims against the closed bank, other than claims as depositors therein, to present the same to the superintendent of banks and make legal proof thereof to him within thirty (30) days from the date of the first publication. The superintendent of banks shall mail a similar notice to all persons who appear as creditors or depositors on the books of the closed bank, specifying the balance or amount shown by said books to be due to such creditor or depositor, advising that in the absence of proof submitted to the contrary he will be listed and considered as a creditor or depositor of the bank in the amount shown by the books of the closed bank. The superintendent of banks, if he doubts the validity or justice of any claim or any preference claimed, may reject or disallow the same in whole or in part, and serve notice of such action upon the claimant, either by mail or personally. An affidavit of service of such notice shall be prima facie evidence thereof and shall be filed in court. |

Aggrieved persons may commence action
Court shall determine value of assets
Transfer of assets and property of insolvent banks |
Any person aggrieved by the action of the superintendent of banks upon any claim must commence an action upon the claim so rejected within three (3) months after such service, and a judgment for such claim shall have the effect of placing the same as an approval claim with such rank and preference as may be determined in such action, but shall create no other lien or preference on the property or assets of the closed bank in the possession of the superintendent of banks. In any case where the superintendent of banks has issued and published notice to creditors, it will be unnecessary for the superintendent of banks to give any further notice, and claims theretofore filed with the superintendent of banks shall be acted upon in the same manner as though filed under the notice hereinabove provided for. All proceedings and hearings under this act shall take precedence over all other matters before the court, except older matters of the same character, to the end that there shall be a determination thereof as expeditiously as possible. Sec. 70. Upon the trial of any such action, the court shall find and determine the value of the assets of such bank, and, if the court shall find and determine that such bank is insolvent, the court shall, on the application of persons representing not less than five per cent (5%) of the total number of depositors or creditors who hold fifty per cent (50%) or more of the total outstanding indebtedness, exclusive of public deposits, direct that a corporation be formed with an authorized capital of common stock equivalent to the aggregate amount of the value of the assets of said bank as found by the court, and shall order said bank and the superintendent of banks to convey, assign, and set over all of the property, real and personal, all stocks, bonds and notes, actions and causes of actions, books and records, and all assets of every kind and character of said bank to said corporation so formed, in consideration of the issuance, fully paid and nonassessable, of the capital stock of said corporation. Sec. 71. In ordering the transfer of assets and property of any insolvent bank to the corporation hereinbefore mentioned, the court shall order and direct that sufficient of the cash and assets thereof be retained by the superintendent of banks to meet and make payment of any claims which then are or which shall thereafter be declared to be preferred claims or trust funds, and the new corporation shall acquire no title thereto; provided, however, that if there be a surplus of such cash and assets so retained by the superintendent of banks after the payment of any such preferred claims or trust funds, then such surplus shall be paid or delivered over to such new corporation. All persons claiming to be the holders of preferred claims or entitled to any trust fund or funds which shall have been rejected or disallowed shall, within three months from the date of notice of such rejection or disallowance as herein provided, commence an action to have their claim declared to be preferred or to be a trust fund and preferred as such, and any person failing to commence such action within three (3) months shall be barred from thereafter making any such claim of preference or demand for trust funds, and such claimant, if he have an otherwise valid claim, shall be issued stock on the same basis as other unsecured depositors, creditors, and claimants. |
κ1933 Statutes of Nevada, Page 325 (CHAPTER 190, AB 268)κ
|
or entitled to any trust fund or funds which shall have been rejected or disallowed shall, within three months from the date of notice of such rejection or disallowance as herein provided, commence an action to have their claim declared to be preferred or to be a trust fund and preferred as such, and any person failing to commence such action within three (3) months shall be barred from thereafter making any such claim of preference or demand for trust funds, and such claimant, if he have an otherwise valid claim, shall be issued stock on the same basis as other unsecured depositors, creditors, and claimants. Sec. 72. The State of Nevada, or agencies, or officers thereof, or any political subdivision of the State of Nevada, or officers, or agents thereof, who or which are depositors or creditors of any closed bank shall not take or be required to receive stock in the corporation herein provided to be formed, but there shall be issued to them for their respective claims participation certificates in an amount which their claim or deposit bears to the total net value of such insolvent bank, as fixed and determined by said court upon the hearing and trial, as hereinabove provided, and upon the sale of any of the assets of the corporation or from any realization therefrom, dividends shall be paid upon said participation certificates in the same ratable proportion as dividends shall or may be paid to stockholders of the corporation. Nothing in this act shall be construed as relieving any principal or surety or sureties on the bond of any public officer for or on account of his or their liability thereon. Sec. 73. The court shall order a distribution of the stock of said corporation pro rata to the unsecured creditors and depositors of said bank and the secured creditors to the extent of the difference between the amount of their respective claims and the fair value of their security; provided, however, that if any secured creditor shall refuse to accept stock in said amount, then in lieu thereof the directors may issue to said secured creditor a participation certificate of certificates in the assets of the corporation to the extent that such secured creditor would be entitled by law. Said corporation shall also issue a class of stock to be known as Class B stock. Said stock shall be issued ratably to the stockholders of the closed bank, and shall be so distributed to them. The holders of class B stock shall not participate in dividends, distribution of assets upon liquidation, either voluntary or involuntary, or the proceeds of any sale of the assets of said corporation until the holders of the common stock and participating certificates shall have received the full amount of their original claim or deposit, together with interest thereon at the rate of three per cent (3%) per annum from the date of the closing of the closed bank. |

Said class B stockholders shall have no voting powers until such time as holders of the common stock, and participating certificates shall have received the full amount of their original claim or deposit and interest thereon as aforesaid. However, and if and when the holders of the common stock and participation certificates shall have received the full amount of their original claim or deposit, together with interest as aforesaid, the class B stock shall be entitled to have the only voting power, and all common stock and participation certificates shall be canceled and retired. Such corporation shall be formed under the general corporation act of this state, but the articles of incorporation shall, in any event, provide that such corporation shall be so organized as to be a qualified borrower and a liquidator or liquidating agent, qualified to borrow money from the reconstruction finance corporation or other federal loan agencies. Sec. 74. The court shall, by its judgment or other order, appoint five persons to sign and acknowledge the articles of incorporation, and to act as the first board of directors, who shall serve from the date of their appointment and until their successors are elected and qualified as hereinafter provided. It shall be the duty of the directors appointed by the court to immediately meet and elect a president and vice president and a secretary, and within twenty (20) days to issue a call and notice of a meeting of stockholders to be held not earlier than thirty (30) days nor more than forty (40) days from the date of the call. Said notice and call shall be mailed to each depositor, creditor and claimant at his address as shown by the books of the closed bank. For the purpose of the first meeting of stockholders, unsecured depositors or creditors of any such insolvent bank, and secured creditors to the extent of the difference between the amount of their respective claims and the fair value of their security, shall be deemed to be stockholders of the corporation so formed, and shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each share of stock respectively held by them, or to which they would or may be entitled on the day of election. At said meeting of stockholders so held, they shall elect a board of five (5) directors and adopt by-laws for the corporation and transact such other business as usual, or would be proper, at an annual meeting of stockholders of a corporation under the laws of Nevada. The directors elected at said meeting shall, immediately following their election, meet and elect officers of the corporation, and thereafter the corporation shall be conducted in accordance with the by-laws, the articles of incorporation, and the laws of the State of Nevada governing corporations. |

It shall be the duty of the attorney-general to prepare the articles of incorporation of said corporation, and attend and assist in the formation thereof, and of the transfer of all of the assets and property of said insolvent bank to the corporation so formed. Sec. 75. At any time after the filing of the complaint, as in this act provided, persons representing not less than five per cent of the total number of depositors or creditors who hold fifty per cent or more of the outstanding indebtedness of the closed bank, exclusive of public deposits, may present to the court a plan or plans for the reopening of said closed bank, or for the reopening of said closed bank in connection with other closed banks. Such plan or plans for reopening of said bank or banks may be by consolidation of banks, or by the organization of a new bank in conjunction with other corporations qualified as borrowers from the reconstruction finance corporation or other federal loan agencies or associations, the purpose of which shall be to take over, and which will take over, all or any part of the assets of the closed bank or banks. If the court shall find and determine that the bank or banks are insolvent, and if it shall appear that any such plan proposed is reasonable, just and equitable, and for the best interests of the depositors and creditors of the bank, and of each of the banks where more than one are joined or to be joined in any such plan, the court may, by appropriate order and decree, accept and adopt said plan, and order the same carried out. Where more than one bank is joined in such plan, not less than five per cent of the total number of the depositors or creditors holding fifty per cent or more of the outstanding indebtedness of each of the respective banks, exclusive of public deposits, shall join in and consent to and request the adoption of such plan. Under such plan, the new bank must assume and pay all trust funds and preferred claims in full. In any such order and decree the court may direct that shares of stock in other corporations, whether of the bank or the mortgage company, may be issued and accepted in part payment of the value of the assets of the closed bank so sold and conveyed, and may permit the sale of the assets of said closed bank for cash, or for part cash and part stock, or for part cash and part shares of stock in the corporations to be organized, including the bank, and may permit all or any part of the credit in the new bank to be in the form of deferred deposits or time certificates of deposit, but such deposits, if deferred, must be payable in at least four equal yearly installments, and the final installment must, in any event, be payable within four years from the date of the opening of the new bank. |

The court shall, in its decree, order a distribution of the stock of said reopened bank or banks, and other corporations equitably to the unsecured creditors and depositors, and the secured creditors to the extent of the difference between the amount of their respective claims and the fair value of their security, and to the original stockholders of the closed bank or banks in the manner provided by section 73 of this act; provided, if any secured creditor shall refuse to accept stock in said amount, then in lieu thereof, the directors may issue to said secured creditor a participation certificate or certificates in the assets of the reopened bank or banks, or the corporations, to the extent that such secured creditor would be entitled by law. The decree shall further provide that the stock in said corporations shall be nonassessable, and that the stock in the bank shall be assessable or nonassessable as the court may determine. Sec. 76. The State of Nevada, or agents, or officers thereof, or any county or political subdivision of the state, or officers or agents thereof, who are or which are depositors and creditors of any closed bank shall not take or be required to receive stock in the new bank or of any corporation organized in connection with the carrying out of said plan, but there shall be issued to them for their respective claims participation certificates in an amount which their respective claims or deposits bear to the total net value of such insolvent bank, after deducting therefrom the deposit or time certificates of deposit fixed by said plan or the order of the court as a deposit in the new bank. Such participation certificates shall not be issued by the bank, but by such other corporation or mortgage company as may be organized as a part of said plan for the reopening of said closed bank or banks. Dividends on said participation certificates shall be paid in the same ratable proportion as dividends may or shall be paid to stockholders of the mortgage company or other corporation formed in connection with said plan. Sec. 77. All provisions of an act entitled An act providing a general corporation law, approved March 21, 1925, as amended, not in conflict with this act, are hereby adopted as a part of this act. Sec. 78. If any provision of this act or the application thereof to any person or circumstances is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of the act which can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this end the provisions of this act are declared to be severable. Sec. 79. In all cases where the superintendent of banks takes over possession of the property and assets of a bank or banks, upon consent in writing of the representatives of fifty per cent (50%) or more of the amount of deposits of any such bank or banks, the superintendent of banks shall, by order, freeze all or any part of the deposits of such bank or banks for a period not to exceed four (4) years, as one of the terms of the reopening or reorganization of said bank or the conveying of the assets of said bank or banks to a new corporation organized for the purpose of taking over said assets. |

fifty per cent (50%) or more of the amount of deposits of any such bank or banks, the superintendent of banks shall, by order, freeze all or any part of the deposits of such bank or banks for a period not to exceed four (4) years, as one of the terms of the reopening or reorganization of said bank or the conveying of the assets of said bank or banks to a new corporation organized for the purpose of taking over said assets. All public officers of the State of Nevada and of any county, town, or city of said state, and all state boards, state agents, school districts and high school districts, including the board of regents of the University of Nevada, the Nevada industrial commission, the superintendent of banks in possession and charge of other closed banks having deposits in such banks, irrigation districts, municipal corporations or quasi municipal corporations of the state, having control of public money on deposit with any such bank, are hereby empowered to sign and execute such consent to the freezing of such deposits of public money for the purpose herein contemplated; provided, however, that before such freezing order shall become effective, the superintendent of banks shall give ten (10) days notice by publication of his intention to apply to the district court of Ormsby County or the county in which the bank is located, to have such order confirmed and, at the time of the hearing of such application, any persons interested may appear and present objections why such order should not be confirmed. Sec. 80. If it appear upon said hearing that, by or through freezing of deposits of said bank, said bank may safely be permitted to reopen for business, the court may so order; but, in every such case, all transactions and business of every kind or character must be under the direct supervision of the superintendent of banks. In every such case, the bank will be permitted to receive deposits; but deposits received while the bank is under the direct control and supervision of the superintendent of banks shall not be subject to any limitation as to payments or withdrawals, and such deposits shall be segregated and shall not be used to liquidate any indebtedness of such bank existing at the time of reopening, or for the liquidation of any subsequent indebtedness incurred for the purpose of liquidating any indebtedness of such bank existing at the time such reopening is permitted. All deposits received after the bank reopens and while the said bank is under the direct supervision and control of the superintendent of banks must be kept on hand in cash or invested in direct obligations of the United States or deposited with a federal reserve bank, as permitted by an act of the Congress of the United States entitled An act to provide relief in the existing national emergency in banking and for other purposes, approved March 9, 1933. |

In the incorporation or organization or reorganization of any bank under the provisions of this act or for the purpose of carrying it into effect, any bank in its original articles of incorporation or by amendment to the articles of incorporation of existing banks may only, in order to take advantage of an act or acts of Congress, provide for the sale and issuance of preferred stock in such amount as may be fixed by the original articles of incorporation in the case of a new bank, or by amendment in the case of an existing bank. The holders of such preferred stock shall be entitled to cumulative dividends at a rate not to exceed six (6%) per cent per annum to be fixed by the articles of incorporation or amendment thereto, but shall not be held individually responsible as such holders for any debt, contract, or engagement of such bank, and shall not be liable for assessments to restore impairments in the capital of such bank as now provided by law with reference to the holders of common stock. Preferred stock shall have such voting rights and be subject to retirement in such manner and upon such terms and conditions as may be provided in the articles of incorporation of new banks or amendments to the articles of incorporation of existing banks. No dividends shall be declared or paid on common stock until all cumulative dividends on the preferred stock shall have paid in full; and, if said bank be liquidated, either through voluntary or involuntary proceedings, and if all depositors and creditors be paid in full, then the preferred stockholders shall be paid the full par value of their stock plus all cumulated dividends prior to any distribution to holders of common stock. Sec. 82. Any member of the Nevada state board of finance, or any superintendent of banks or deputy superintendent of banks who shall willfully neglect to perform any duty required by this act, or who shall knowingly make any false statement concerning any bank, or any statement concerning any bank except in the exercise of his duty, or who shall be guilty of malfeasance or corruption in office, shall, upon conviction thereof, be deemed guilty of felony and punished by a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars or imprisoned in the state prison not exceeding five years, and in addition thereto shall be removed from office.

The legality of investments heretofore made, or of transactions heretofore had, pursuant to any provisions of law in force when such investments were made or transactions had, shall not be affected by the provisions of this act, except as the same can be done gradually by the sale or redemption of the securities so invested in, in such manner as to prevent loss or embarrassment in the business of such corporation, association or individual, or unnecessary loss or injury to the borrowers on such security; provided, all investments, transactions, loans, and requirements shall be made to conform to the provisions of this act within the period of two years from the time of the enactment thereof, except as in this act otherwise expressly provided.

Whereas, That portion of the county of Mineral, as now constituted, situate lying and being west of the east line of range twenty-eight (28), known as the East Walker district, is isolated from the main portion of said county by high mountain ranges; and Whereas, The East Walker district is adjacent to and an extension of Mason Valley, Lyon County, Nevada, and the interests of the two districts are identical while the interests of the East Walker district and the remainder of Mineral County have nothing in common; and there is constant communication between the town of Yerington and all parts of said East Walker district, over roads passable at all times; and

The People of the State of Nevada, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows:
Section 1. All that portion of the county of Mineral, as now constituted, bounded and described as follows, to wit: Beginning at a point where the westernmost part of Mineral County intersects the Nevada-California boundary line, thence along said Nevada-California boundary line in a southeasterly direction until said Nevada-California boundary line intersects the south boundary line of township 7 N., R. 25 E., M. D. B. & M.; thence easterly along the south boundary of township 7 N., ranges 25, 26 and 27 E., M. D. B. & M., to the southeast corner of T. 7 N., R. 27 E., M. D. B. & M.; thence northerly along range line on the east boundary of townships 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 north, R. 27 E., M. D. B. & M., to the northeast corner of township 11 north, R. 27 E., M. D.

B. & M., to a point where said line intersects the present Mineral-Lyon County boundary line; thence along the present Lyon-Mineral County boundary line in a southwesterly direction to the point of the beginning, is and the same is hereby severed and withdrawn from the county of Mineral, as now constituted, and the same is hereby added and annexed to the county of Lyon, as the same is now constituted. Sec. 2. Lyon County shall assume and pay its due proportion of the present bonded indebtedness of Mineral County as now constituted, the basis and manner of said apportionment being as follows, to wit: On or before April 15, 1933, the board of county commissioners of said Mineral County and the board of county commissioners of said Lyon County shall meet in joint session at the county courthouse at Hawthorne, Nevada, at a time to be agreed upon by the members of said boards, and shall then and there ascertain the total bonded indebtedness of said Mineral County, deducting therefrom all money collected or set aside and designated to apply on the payment thereof, and immediately apportion the amount thus obtained to said Mineral County and to said Lyon County, respectively, in the following manner: (a) Ascertain the total assessed valuation for taxation purposes of all property subject to taxation in Mineral County as constituted for the year 1932. (b) Then ascertain the total assessed valuation for taxation purposes of all property subject to taxation in that portion of Mineral County so severed and withdrawn from that county and so attached to said Lyon County in the year 1933. (c) As such total assessed value of all such property for that year in that portion of said Mineral County remaining after such severance and withdrawal is to the total assessed value of all such property in that portion of Mineral County so severed and withdrawn therefrom and attached to said Lyon County, so shall be the proportion of said bonded indebtedness to be paid by said Mineral County and by said Lyon County, respectively. (d) Upon so ascertaining the proportion of said bonded indebtedness so to be paid by each of said counties, the board of county commissioners of said Mineral County shall immediately prepare and adopt a resolution specifying the amount thereof, and file the original of such resolution with the county clerk of said Mineral County, and cause such county clerk to file a copy thereof duly certified by him with the county auditor of that county and another copy thereof so certified with the county clerk and another copy so certified with the county auditor of said Lyon County. |

(f) The board of county commissioners of said Lyon County shall also, at or before the regular time for the levying of taxes for the year 1934, estimate and ascertain the amount necessary to transcribe and transfer any and all deeds, mortgages, liens, leases, contracts, and other written instruments, documents, papers, and other records relating in any way to the property in the area or territory so severed from said Mineral County and so attached to said Lyon County, and shall levy and collect, in the same manner as other taxes are levied and collected, a special tax on the assessed value of all said property so subject to taxation in said area or territory so severed, and so attached to said Lyon County, sufficient to pay the same, and, when the money therefor shall have been collected and is available for that purpose, said board of county commissioners of Lyon County shall cause all such deeds, mortgages, liens, leases, contracts, and other written instruments, documents, papers, and other records to be transcribed and transferred into the records of said Lyon County in the office of the county recorder or other proper officer of said Lyon County, and pay out the money so collected to pay therefor to the proper person or persons as other claims against the county are legally paid; and the same shall thereupon be and become a part of the records of said Lyon County and of the proper offices thereof; and, until so transcribed and transferred, all such deeds and other instruments, documents, papers, and records may be proven in any court or otherwise as such records are usually legally proven, as if already so transcribed and transferred, although of record in said Mineral County. |
