BANKING DEPARTMENT. After the office of Bank Commissioner was abolished, in 1843, the Banks of the State continued to make their reports to the Comptroller until 1851, when a law was passed (April 12) creating the office of Superintendent of the Banking Department. He was vested with the general supervision of the Banks of the State, which are required to report to him quarterly. By an act passed March 20, 1857, the Savings Banks were also required to report their condition. By an act passed May 5, 1874, Trust Companies and other moneyed corporations were required to report semi-annually. The Superintendent makes an abstract of these reports, and submits an annual report to the Legislature. He receives his appointment from the Governor and Senate; holds office for three years; has an annual salary of $5,000, and is allowed a deputy, examiner and several clerks. NAMES. SUPERINTENDENTS.
