1910, ch. 219, sec. 33 (p. 16).
34. No savings institution shall, out of its net earnings, in the
course of any year, declare or pay any dividend or interest to its
depositors, unless there shall be reserved and set aside, as a guarantee
fund, an amount equivalent to at least one-eighth of 1 per cent, per
annum on the whole amount of deposits then held, until such guarantee
fund shall amount to at least 3 per cent, on the whole amount of
deposits. The guarantee fund shall at all times be maintained for the
protection of depositors, and shall never be impaired by the payment
of any interest or dividends.

the above deductions, nor shall it at any time impair the guarantee
fund of 3 per cent, provided for. In ascertaining the profits or earn-
ings, no savings institution shall be required to charge off from the
premium of bonds purchased or held more than an amount proportionate
to the life of the bond, and in ascertaining the amount of said guar-
antee fund the assets shall not be valued above their market value.
