approved March tenth, nineteen hundred and six, be amended and re-
enacted, so as to read as follows:

period of two weeks after notice of the death of a depositor any moneys
standing upon its or his books to the credit of such depositor, and after

of two weeks shall, upon demand, pay the residue to the persons entitled
thereto in the manner prescribed by law.
