A. The capital deposits in every savings bank hereafter organized shall amount to

of the savings bank is to be located does not exceed 10,000; (2) $150,000.00, if such population exceeds 10,000 but does not exceed 50,000; (3) $200,000.00, if such population exceeds 50,000 but does not exceed 100,000; (4) $300,000.00, if such population exceeds 100,000 but does not exceed 200,000; (5) $500,000.00, if such population exceeds 200,000; provided, that if the certificate

of incorporation states that the savings bank shall be authorized to exercise any

of the powers specified in section 28, 1 its capital deposits shall not be less than $500,000.00. B. The savings bank shall be liable to the depositors or their legal representatives

or assigns for the amount of the capital deposits respectively paid in by them, which

shall be repaid to them subject to such regulations as are applicable to other deposits

and which shall be entitled to interest and dividends at the same rate and under the

same regulations as are applicable to other deposits; provided, that, until such

time as the surplus of the savings bank shall amount to not less than the original

capital deposits, or 5% of other regular deposits, whichever is greater, no part of

the capital deposits, other than interest or dividends thereon, may be withdrawn,

and until such time, the capital deposits shall be subordinate to all other deposits

and liabilities of the savings bank. When the surplus shall equal the amount in this subsection specified, the capital

deposits may be withdrawn or transferred to regular deposits accounts in such amounts

from time to time as shall not reduce the surplus below the amount so specified. 1
