Dominion's expanding needs.

Six times since 1870 'the Bank Act under
which the Cba.rtered Banks operate has been
revised by parliament—six times in that period
the activities of the banks have been rarefuny
scrutinized by the people's representatives.
Every ten years the Bank Act
bas been thus revised. Each one
of the six decennial revisions
has contributed much to the
evolution of the banking system
to meet the expanding needs of
a developing D,Oellitaiota.
Int 1934 the sixth reviston of the
Bank Act was made. Fifty mem.
bers of the 'louse a comraotis
made up the committee, which
examined witnesses—among
them bank officers, government
o Mcials sad reformers — and
studied exhibits filed by various
individuals and organizations.
Findings were submitted to the
Honse„ and Later that year the
Bank Act was revised in inany
important particulars.
